refined, standing beside the mantle,
watching the l|Tle play goine on, a

He did not give Iter an opportunity to

'Miss Lacy, I regret very much that 1

Fof just one second, an inscrutable look

Nellie Lacy's gentle eyes were full ol
womanly pity and sympathy, and she sat
J patiently listening to Fannie O'Biien's
story: and Fannie was her lip-stairs girl

aud whose affairs the sweet young mis

'And it is the small-pox your mother
