ENTIRELY unsuspiciou,, the girl walked
several blocks with them. until they came
to an iron drinking fountain, where the
elderly woman had presented her with a
cup Of water and she drank. She saws

woman took her between them, tollipc
her that she should be taken directly

opposition. They hurried her up town
for about ten minutes, and then turned
to the left into a quiet street, along which
they hOstenod and soon reached a wide
street, looking to the bcwildered girl very
much like an avenue The party finally

gold bracelets, She greeted me as her
little friend, and when told her that

sneeringly remarked that ! would soon
get over all that sort OF talk. She con-
ciuded by oiierlng TO be a friend to me,
and remarked that L would soon get used
to the place and the life.
"Is not this a handsome room p she
began in few minutes. | was Obliged
to admit that it was Indeed comfortable.
"Well, then" said she, "would Won
not rather live here with me, in this fine
room, than 90 back to your humble home I
