and just as we said. both together, there

and kissed her very afectionately, and
she looked all in futter. aud 90 did be.
and then they took the cars for Cleve-

For Cleveland Moraretta. are you

horror.
Yes. ma'am, sure. That was wha.
Bella and | thought SO queer. for her
trunks were marked Cincinnati; we stood
right by them and saw the cards. You
may ask Bella If it wasn't so. There she
is going by this minute. Bella Bella
Come in she cried. running to the win
dow, tapping it. aud nodding aud beck

Miss Disbrows sense Of outraged pro-
priety was so much shocked BY the scan
dal of Moraretta's story that she permitted
this breach Of decorum. an insult to the
dignity of her windows, without word !,
though the window itself shook all over
under the modification. But Bella came
in. as like Moraretta in girlish life and
hos denism as one bramblc. bush is like
another. And then out % thss mouth Of
two witnesses Miss Disbrow was forced to
believe.
Did you ever see the man before p
How did he look. and how did he appear 7
she asked. ....
oh. he was perfectly splendid, and he
was dressed elegantly !, cried the enihu-
siastic school girl. But I never saw him
here before; neither did Retta. / don't
think he lives here; he came :rom the Gin
cinnati cars. You saw him, didn't you
Retta I? said Bella Mosier.
Yes, of course l did. Aud then he
looked around as though he expected to
see somebody. till he saw Mrs. Whiting;
and she was just standing like she was
waiting. wasn't she Bella 2
We'll, there. Benjamin, what do you
think of that T said Miss Disbrow, after
the girls had chatted themselves out Of the
room and out of the house. Don't you
rccollect suspected all was not right
when l saw those two immense trunks,
and little Mrs. Whiting berself dressed
up like dollf I do wish I knew what
to think
All day long Miss Disbrow sat putting
this aud that together, until the opposite
house grew fairly hideous under the shad-
ow Of evil. and all night long she lay
awake upon the great old fashioned ma
hogany bedstead. still putting this and tha.
together.
BY dawn the next morning Miss Dis
brow was looking ont to see If it had Jared

the cities Of the plain. But no; sentence

against the reddening eastern sky. And
at that very moment che saw Mr.. Viii
