The Niagara Falls trip had tired lira, McKinley, and on returning to the Milburn residence she took leave of her nieces, the Misses Harber, and the president's ni.e e.

Immediately on Mr. Buchanan's arrival at the Milburn home he had telephonic communication therewith cut off. for already then- had been several calls, and he decided on this as the wi.est course to pursue, lest Mrs. McKinley, hearing the continued ringing of the telephone lel, might inquire w hat it meant. While the light of day remained Mrs. McKinley continued with her crocheting, keeping to her room. When it became dusk nnd the presi

There was no clock in Mrs. M Kinley's room, and when it was seven o'clock sh had no idea it was so late, Sd this is when she began to feel anxious concerning her husband, for he v.,s due to return to Mr. Milburn's how e about six o'clock.

The yacht was to have gone to Arrow Point, where a special train was waiting for the vicepresident, but the train was sent on to Burlington, and was there when the yacht came into the harbor at
