MISS pALDERsToNE MAKES DISCOVERY
OF course in high-class establish

no vulgar displays at the end Of the
half year, no dress-parade of the pupils,
no commencement dny-the school
quietly dissolved without fuss or frolic,
and when the last Fly" had carried
away its load Of happy girls, the mis-
tress usually attended to the packing of
her own trunks and hied herself away
to the seaside or on q tour of foreign
travel.
This half-year the accustomed pro-
gramme was to be followed, but she
found herself making her preparations
to depart with but half the usual elas-
ticity of spirits which gladdened her
heart on the eve of vacation. The

tear-stained, perpetually haunted her.

was that not one-fourth Of the bache-.

entailed. and it was quite in his power
to rob his natural heirs OF the bulk of
his fortune and leave It to this waif;
nay, he had even gone SO far as to noti-

Meanwhile, OF course, the young lady
was o person of consideration. Miss
