   the room, a black hound jumped down off his wife's bed and up on the window and turned around and looked at him, and the two eyes that looked at him were his sister-in-law's. The hound jumped out through the window and away into the night and it growling like mad all the time.
   Then the poor man turned to his wife in the bed and found that she was bleeding. The black hound had given her an awful bite right under the chin. In a couple of hours she died and her poor husband was overcome with grief. He never was the same man after his wife dying and at the end of six months he died also.
