And then 1 said about not liking to write my name to anything, and Gladys said it was all right because Mr. Elford was there.” “And Mr. Savage—the gentleman —died when? “Next moraing as ever was, ma‘am. He shu: himself up in his room that night and wouldn’t let anyone go near him, and when Gladys called him in the morning he was all stiff and dead, and a letter Propped up by his bedside—‘To the Coroner,’ it said.
