THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF LETITIA CARBERRY

CHAPTER 1
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHNSON

A good many people wondered, when the story came out, how Tish had come to be mixed up with it at all, but as Tish herself says, it was very simple.

The people at the hospital had become de moralized, and some firm hand had to take hold. Besides, Tish was a member of the Ladies’ Committee, and felt responsible.

Tish says the first thing she knew about it was a piercing scream, just outside her room, I This was followed by a number of short, sharp cries, feminine, and steps running past her bed- room door.

Now, as Tish also remarks with truth, one hears a variety of strange sounds in a hospital at night, and at first she thought it was the woman across the hall, who had had her appendix removed that afternoon, and who had been very unpleasant as a neighbor all evening.
