Mr. Laugh - bon had taken a 'cottage here at the park yintendin to spend. a few we eks by the lakeside, little thinking that his pleasurable anticipations were soon to be turned into that of grief y by so sad a shock and it will be hard for them to realize that the young son whom they knew so well and so full of life has dis- appeared for ever from their midst.
