When the neighbors came to search in the morning, Margaret was missing! She had _straggled_ out of bed, and made her way into Rosamund's room--worn out with fatigue and fright, when she found the girl not there, she had laid herself down to die--and, it is thought, she died _praying_--for she was discovered in a kneeling posture, her arms and face extended on the pillow, where Rosamund had slept the night before--a smile was on her face in death.
