She carefully prepared herself for the fatal plunge, but tirst tested the water, and finding it too cold, her nerve failed, and she shiveringly readjusted her attire and sadly returned to her home. The letters had been read dur- ing her absence and a search party organ- ized to recover the body. She seems much crestfailen.
