thought that by kindness the Utes could be

farming.
They killed him without moments

day, she was met by the excited girl
who had opened and read the bundle
of love letters tied up in package
with the question: "Who was my
fatherS l want 10 know who | am"
1t was an awkward situation for the
tired woman who did not care to re-
hearse her mistakes to a girl of her
years. and in the presence of the
father and the two children who would
he listeners. So she pacified the girl
with the promise that she would tell
her when supper was over, and the
two worked side by side while getting
the evening meal for the family.
Mrs. Bland says that Lizzie was
greatly excited when she heard all
that was TO be told, and she demanded
To know where her father was. This
the mother could not tell, for he was
wearied of her, and left Leeds some
time before she married Mr.. Bland.
The poor, silly woman will not tell of
how Liz bounced upon the letters
when she heard that, declaring that
they should be torn up and no refer
ence be made To them again. They
were DESTROYED then and there, the
mother not daring to object. Even
now, in her senility she shows that she

she felt when confronted by the young
girl.
After that the drawer was left I'M
locked. and Lizzie helped herself to
the yellow paper editions of different
Shakespeare plays which her mother
had studied. These she read with
eagerness-for having learned that she
was the daughter of an actress and the
child of man above the station which
her stepfather filled, she seemed to
drift from the family and to think and
plan for herself They were poor, and
very mental work did the beautiful
child, who was the household drudge
in the absence of her mother.
Mrs. Bland tells of her Adelaide's
fondness for reading, and particularly
for her taste for dramatic study. She
would stand on a chair before the
glass and declaim what she had learn
ed, and then try her power on others.
One night she went to neighbours for
her mother, and while there offered TO
read something of a tragic character
she had with her Her acquaintances
asked her to do so, when, TO their
amazement, she recited most dramati-
cally and ended her marvellous piece of
impersonation by throwing herself up
on sofa and going of in u swoon so
naturally done that the household
were in the greatest alarm, believing
it all to be real She, however, soon
set their fears at rest by springing from
the sofa with merry peal OF laughter.
