Decision and promptness were two promi
nent traits in the character of Camerone South
wick. and she at once called them into action.
a few months previous her wealthy uncle had
presented her superb silk dress pattern, and
it lay uncut in one of the drawers of her ma
hogany dressing case.
Camerone remembered that the only daugh-
ter of the principle merchant in Holly had
expressed great admiration for this piece of
silk, and wished to get one like it /; SO she de-
termined to dispose of it and thus procure the
necessary means to defray her brothers. trav-
cling expences. At any other time this
might have been deemed no small sacrifice ,
as it was, she regarded it without regret, fee
ling thankful that she could aid Frederic in
any way. Folding the dress in a neat pack
age, she arrayed herself in warm riding
habit, and stepping into the kitchen again,
informed Sabriua that she was going to the
village, and would not be back within two
hours. Then she went to the stable, and,
saddling the only remaining horse there, she
led him to the horse block, mounted, and
rode hurridly away.
