Paul.
"You mistake me, do not wish to
insult you. but would raise the child
from her poverty and educate her that
she might be of use to You and to her
self, and become a refined woman
Don't let your selli7h love stand in the

voice.

she entered one morning to find Mrs.
Clavering in the music masters room.
"What DO you propose to do with
your famous pupil?' Said her soft
voice
Madam, Camilla is quite capable Of
doing anything in a musical way. She
will be songstress OF whom the coun-
try will be proud. All here she is.''
"You have improved wonderfully. my

street toward home. As she turned
the corner he rushed pell nell into
