dition. My lie thre3tcucl. and not know
ing rom what quarter the blow would come,
deeply in love vitA one whom felt my ySclt
forbidden to approach, my spirit began to
sink. and this hud a sinister effect on my
business. Customers were not so well salts.
/ fed with my manners IL they had been, and
| had began to think seriously of leaving
town and seeking employment in the city,
/ when an event occurred which changed my
resolution. 4 Miss Savers had sent me her
/ album Win request that | woull write
some verses in it.
A turned over the leaves, was struck
motionlcs by encouatering the name Of
Cornelia Smith at the bottom Of one Of the
pages. 1t appeared that Coru.lia had writ
ten some lines in the album, and Judged
them to be original There was nothing re-
markabc about the composition, but | was
/ forcbIy struck by the handwriting. 1t
seemed to Inc that lad seen that style of
/ penmanShip before.
lost no time in hunting up the warning
note which | had received from Your
Friend and on comparing the note with
/ the piece in the album, signed Curuelia
/ Smith, not 4 shadow Of doubt remained that
/ both pieces were written by the same hand
! | had found out my anonymous cores
! pondent at last, but (was it posolbIeO that
CORES spondent was Corneln Smith. She had
warned me that my life was in danger. and
/ had hidden me ly hence " hat could have
/ been her motive? | was 4 perfect stranger
to her Why should ~he SEEK to annty and
terrlfy Inc in that manner unless She had
discovered that my lie really was threat
encd? Bat was it probable that that young
/ girl could make any such discovery? Still
/ less probable was it that Corncla should
| have written the through sheer wanton-
ness. o, no; she could not be capable Of
so cruel, 50 miserable a hoax.
At any rate the partition wall was broken
down; there was no longcr any reason that
| | should hesitate to address Cornc.la Smith
. for, if she had gone 50 far as to send me a
note bef!re she had been introduced to me,
| might well claim acl uaintanceShlp with
her and seek for an explanation to that
note.
