HEN the wealthy contractor, Alexander Ware, was killed in an automobile accident, and then, when his widow, one short month after the funeral, married Silas Bart- lett, the residents of Shipleyville were astounded. A report gained currency that Silas had been her first love, that she had jilted him in a moment of pique and married Ware, and had al- wavs regretted it. did not excuse her shameful precip- eve , that the 16-yea: ouired of a stoic he might have disillusioned | "o Satisfied with a pauper b them.

Two nights after Robert's one-sided s jew with his stepfather, Irene nderson saw her mother ascending front stairs with especial diffi- | ¢ and ran to help her. When the her began to talk of colored lights d golden angels. and then when tried to cough, and flecks of blood appeared on her lips, Irene became terrified. She dashed out of the house end across the street, to summon old Dr._Godfree. “Dring on her feet,” the kind old doctor later told some neighbors who had gathered “Last stages of pneu-| monia.
