mid and inexpensive way, that did
Justice to my considerable natural
abllity. Lawford, however, was able
talk volubly and loudly,-that was
certainly an advantage from his being
anchored permanently to a Sophia
aud he somehow contrived to give the
idea that he had performed prodigies
of valor on the Scottish hills. The

half a dozen times, and lend him an

fhe full truth came out. She had on

very summer. Her father and mother,
from whom she had been separated
f9r many years, had only returned
fron India two months before she had
1af school to live with them, and to be
harpy forever afterwards. Of course
she would have masters still for ltal-

my own line of tour. IL was the
