Early the next M orning Leoline took leave of her
old home; but il not without feeling OF re-
greet. All the way TO Boston the tear-stRined face
of her mother seemed TO rise before her. and it
with difficulty she kept back the tears from her

found Mrs Seaford's carriage awaiting them. 1t

ford's and Harry, leading Leoine up the marble
steps, whispered; " This Is your new homei so
