- Preparations were being; made for a
funeral tn the Maiuot family. The
body of Betty Margot. aged eighteen,
was to be burled at 1J o'clock, and It
was now 10. A great deal of sympathy
was shown the family, for there were
very sad circumstances attending the
young girl's death. In fact, It was con
sidered a case of suicide.
About a year before Betty began to
show signs of despondency, she had
left school and was ready to take a
social position among the young people

could not afford to take the Datleut
away. Besides, she said she didn't care
to go awny. The doctor siun?mti that
there might be a young man in the
case, but Mrs. Margot declared that

ereuces for any of her male acauoinr
ances. 'io this the doctor replied that

treated cases of su noosed nhvsl. nl mill

patients had shown slgus of a break

couia not make up her mind between
two suitors and had Onallv elonpd with
a third, to whom ber parent bad no ob

One morning when the good lady
went into her daughter's room with
the usual tnaRt and coffee she would
not permit Bettv to arise hefr.ro 11
o'clock the room was empty. The bed
