to excuse herself, but | would not
let her leave, and the young man
thought would soon go.

talk He told us all about himself
and what a checkered career he had
gone through, and Miss became
quite sympathetic. but we were both
dreadfully worried. We did not
know what he wanted, and he gave
US no chance to ask. i was so sleepy
for while that the smile froze on
my face, ard ! saw double. Then he
made me tell the history of the insti-
tuition, and that is my weak point.
Every time my assistant, Miss
would attempt to go | would frown
at her. We both knew that every
thing in the house was going wrong.

Lime may not show its beneficial
