Then the pedestal Wassuddenly denuded
Of its statue. thsre Was : most tender
leave-taking, and before Felix returned
the garden gate had closed upon Jack

KATRINA had received from her mistress

rain descended upon II Insn. 20 hash-
rinat otsmay. sns discovered mai every

walk afforded. Presently, on one OF the
