ton which provoked a laugh.
Miss Pollard's expenses while in school
in Lexington, 1t was developed, had been
partly paid by Colonel Breckenridge. but
he could not give her very much, because
it would have awakened the suspicious Of
Mr.. Rhodes.

lished in a New York paper was noted.
At the Norwood convent she had worn a
