CHAPTER Ill.

Fioretta had gone to her brother, who
had been takeh suddenly Ill, and thus {, r
a time, Minnie WAS left free from their
Vaccinations.
The young girl had been tempted forth
by the beauty of the day, aud weary with
her walk had seated herself on a grassy
bank Just within the borders of n y ;,o;I.
Above and around waved aud dropped
majestic old trees. clothed in their autum
nal foliage OF crimson. gold and scarIst--
The light mist Of the Indian Summer
sofleUed al harsh outlines, and gave an
unreal, dreamy aspect TO the glorious
scenery oulstretched before her.
Minnie looked very lovely. Two CLOS.
sy braids were coicd around her small,
well shaped head, just above which waved
n pendant bough Of brilliant scarlet, Civ
ing delicate flush TO her otherwise pale
face.

she exclaimed, tearfu!Iy, he has plunged
me into r deeper, darker despair. And

Floretla, in his revelations. Strange

wood, advanced ull they stood within a
few yards Of her One was Horace Rus,

squire, and in the other she once more
beheld the Mysterious Stranger.

her.

She read it several times, and then
with an exclamation which startled Flo
