Proceeding homeward, they accidentally discovered a package ana having a desire to know what it con tained they proceeded at once to ex amine it To their surprise, it con tained inside its clear crystal housing. the fluid extract of fermented sugar, and desiring to test it, because it was beautiful to look upon and calculated to make one "rich" they opened the crystal container, and its odor was so inviting they proceeded at once to satisfy their appetites. The effects were severe. They soon succumbed to the deadly grasp and sink down 10 ue earui, remaining mere in an unconscious 6tate until discovered by some passing children, who informed the neighbors, who quickly responded to the call and rushed to the scene of affliction, doing all they could to re lieve and restore the unconscious vic tims. After hours of intense suffer ing and when agonizing groans began to cease and their stomachs could no longer retain the strange substances received therein, the victims began to improve, and with the assistance of friends were able to reach their homes.
