spirited books, from which Ida re I'd at least
huff the day. Sometimes she p'ayc exquisite
pieces Of music to her ; and this the blind lady

, 1t was now the autumn Ftrieu, and 4 letter
, clme to the Professor which took him at once
= from home. A trnStv friend of his had found
n in Konigsherg a Madame Bernhard and a Fra
2 ulein Ida Schmilt, who were living together.
r They seemed to answer the description Of the
G persons he was in selrch Of more especially
n rs Frlulein schmidt. it was sld was from 4
V northern university town. of. therefore. set
f our good Professor. once more tondly hoping
h that she whom he had songht SO long was at

little Lima, who had spent the day at the good
t nnighbors' was IN bed, and. kissing her in her
d sleep and leaving note for Frluein ldl, was
T., ong way on his Journey before she woke
a The note. which little Linn presented next
s. morning, was addressed, as the Professor be-
n icved. correctly, to Fraulein Goctzcnberger
n and it said that the Professor Won llotinrn was
e Suddenly called from home on business Of great
g importance. and begged to commend his little
c Lna to the kind attentions Of Fraulcin Ida
n Goetzonbergcr during his absence. Again
Y aunt Idl smiled, and remarked that her name
i was not Goetzrnbcrger, adding, however, that
n il was not Of much importance; and she un'
,r dcr,ook the chlrge of little Lima with righ,
- good Will. The Professor had written his note
1t in great hrstc, ana it was such an almost unn
il t.lllgbe scrawl az scarcely ever WAS seen
