There was no answer save a humming as though a giant -hive of gees was swarming.

It was the bumming of thousands of flies, which surro'unded tlie old man as he came up on the gallery. At the sound of his step there came the weak wail of a child In terror. John Burkett. his heart in his mouth, plunged through the door. There on the bed was the decomposed body of his daughter Annie.

Crawling on the floor toward him was his 3-year-old grandson, with eyes nearly closed by th'e bites of--flies. Lying besides the corpse was the baby, too weak even to wail; besmeared and bitten horribly. John Burkett seized the two children and half ran back up the trail He took the babies to his wife at their home, nearly four miles away, and summoned the law. They body in a'hurried- ly dug grave in the woods late that afternoon, after officers had taken notes on the mute evidence of the crime. AmM'Di Made.
