THE confession of that Chicago servant
girl who poisoned her employers with
rat poison because she intended to poi
son herself for disappointed love. but
thought she would try it on the family
first, has a grim humor about it that
would be funny if it were not SO serious.
Hereafter rules for domestic service

poison on themselves first, and, if it
does not kill them, conclude that it will
be useless to try it on the family.

Compulsory education is good thing,

unnecessary. 1t is the language of the

CHAPTER V.

ORLANDO'S DECLINE IN CAPTIVITY.
In the happiness that Teresa's cure put
INTO the hearts of her relatives, Orlando
was surrounded with the most touching
cares: he was the hero, the saviour!
He busted himself neither with the mar
I1atse certificate hor with the fortune OF
his betrothed. Her dowry consisted sim
ply of All income of four thousand francs
Yielded by real estate After all, it meant
life of comfort and security In that beau
tiful country where wants are few.
But it was agreed that the young couple
should live with the CarGelli family.
Orlando subscribed to anything they
wished, the more readily as his father
and mother had decided to embark for
Valparaiso. The life of his parents was
assured in any case, ready as they were
to convert the small capital they had
amassed into life annufties-a thing
which Orlando looked upon as most
legitimate.
The Montefortes dwelt with joy upon
the thought that their son would be sur
rounded with family solicitude; they ap-
proved with all their might the idea of
union of the young household with
that of Teresa's parents. They had no
need to rearrange their rooms; the Car
dellis had long entertained the hope of
keeping their daughter with them after
marriage. A small parlor separated the
suite into two sets of apartments. In
one of these Monteforte and Teresa es-
tablished themselves. In neighboring
house they leased large, well lighted
room, which became Orlando's studio.
