The other evening young Geo. | Moxwell, who had been in the em- | | ploy of an undertaker, called upon 4 the young lady. The conversation between them drifted to the subject of his gruesome calling. Mise | Orated declared that she would not be afraid to visit an undertakers’ es- tablishment, to handle shrouds or to even lie down ina coffin. Moxwell dared her to go with him and put on a shroud and lie down in a cof- fin. They repaired to an establishment, | and, after examing the funeral trap- pings, Miss Orsted slipped a white | shroud over her dress, and then laid down in a coffin and folded her . | hands across her breast. Moxwell placed the lid on the coffin, and the two, look at each other through the | glass in the lid, conversed. The coffin was resting ona low | truck standing on an elevator, which commuuicated with a morgue and | dissecting room below. The idea flashed into Moxwell’s head to extin- guish the electric lights in the room and send Miss Orsted below. He touched a button, the lights went out and the coffin and its precious ‘load shot down to the morgue. The young lady was terribly frightened. | She sprang from her recumbent po- sition and threw the lid from the coffin, and there, by the dim light of a lamp, she saw on a slab the naked bloated body of a “floater.” She gave a shriek, swooned and sank back into the coffin.
