the result of her holiday that treat which /
had designed all for her." Of course, we
had an addition to our family of course,
the contract for her holiday would not have
been completed if had interposed views
of mine, and had prevented her carrying off
in the end the young semi-Italan. scara-
mouch to add to our own collection.
However, l am bound to say | believe she
might not have pressed this point, had it
not been for the fatal effect of the accident,
which, after all, terminated in Lucia's
death, and consequently for the child having
thus, as it were, fallen to our charge as his
natural guardians. 1t was all very sad and
miserable, the end of our time at Locarno
involving numerous complications with the
local law. We were detained there till the
end of October, for the old padrone departed
this life soon after her daughter, and we had
some difficulty in proving our right to the
child.
Our right to the child Humph ! Tru

had instinctively discovered that right, kat
discovered it through that mysterious, deli

said In the granting OF chartered rights and

amount invested in United States bonds is to be

II Is TO be observed in this connection as tend
