CORTLAND, N. Y, July %
0N.S0.-Death waited the breath
Of life so swiftly from an aged
woman here that, many hours
after life departed. her corpse was
found standing erect, the features
calm and composed, on the fifth
step Of q stairway in her home.
Today, q coroner's certification
of death from q heart attack was
issued for Mrs. Telia Mead, 70,
while neighbors excitedly discussed
the bizarre posture in which the
body was found.
Mrs. Mead had not been seen

year ago had forced her to use a
crutch.
On the stairway, they found her
body. The corpse was in a natur-
ally erect position. One arm rested
on the crutch. The other rested
on the stairway balustrade.
She had been dead more than

But Markobi, big. rough and bearded, came
in through the arch conducting Yom and Tom
aso to one of the hot little guest rooms, and
having left them there crossed the court and
went into the kitchen. At once Janna heard the
rough tones of his voice raised in anger. There
was always some such misery. No doubt Tasl
was in trouble for being late. 1t seemed as if
Markobi could not bear to let anyone live hap
PLY or be at peace.
Tomaso and Yomi had left their stuffy quar-
ters and walked through the inn to eat supper
on the pavement in the cool of the evening
before Tasl came to lift her out.
II nearly forgot you, my old one, she said
affectionately. Father says bargained badly
for the lamb - but you remember, that was a
hard man."
The old woman nodded, but was silent, full
of her own deep thoughts. 'Tasl," she said,
when the girl had taken her into her room,
washed her face and hands with cool water and
put her in her wheel chair, beware of trouble.
The travellers we met by the roadside stay here
for the night"
Tasl laughed her gay young laughter, and
wheeled the chair through the balcony door.

Jannas room was in front of the inn where she
could sit on her wooden balcony and enjoy
the social activity of the street. Her friends
would pass and give her greeting and tell her
the doings of the day.
What could trouble us?" laughed Tasl
who are so used to trouble" Then catching
sight Of Yom and his father waiting for their
supper, she added: 81 must be gone about my
work Soon will come back to you
When she had gone, Janna turned the wheels
of her chair and drew back into the shadows
that she might watch, undisturbed and unseen.
1t had been market day in the neighboring
town, and the wide street was thronged with
people returning with their purchases. string
of silky white goats picked their way delicately
over the ruts and stones. The orange street
lamps shone on their crooked posts made of the
trunks of young trees. Across the street. the
sausage fryer piled his savory trade outside his

gossiped. Three gypsies came along and began
to play their violins = Wild melancholy til

to know if stewed baby lamb with new vege

After the four had slept through the MONDAY
heat, Tasl rose and prepared the oxcart for her
grandmother. 'She cannot walk, she explained
to the travellers as she stopped to raise Janna.
Yomi leaped to his feet. LET me" he said,
and lifted the light little body to the dusty
cushions. Tasl smiled her thanks, fixed up the
big yellow umbrella and climbed onto the cart
She took the road to Kiron. Janna lay and
watched her turn and wave to the men riding
down through the rose fields before the dust
hid them from view.
Suffocating banks of perfume rose about
them as the oxen plodded through the swoon-
ing afternoon. Janna thought of all the women
who would pay in gold pieces for tiny phials
of the altar of roses. They should come here,
she thought. and smell it in the heat. They
would never want it again. They reached Kiron
in the sunset while the mountain wall was turn

The inn was on the wide main street. Its
