secure the busy lawyers presence. But Bread
mOngster was already there when Reuben arrived at
the Hermitage with the two young ladies, and con-
grstulated himself that all was working well.
After some general conversation, Reuben men
toned the experiments in which Loretta had so re-
markably succeeded the day before. Breadmongster
expressed his astonishment, and desired to make q
personal text. He handed Loretta a closed locket,
and, holding it in her hand, she closed her eyes.
Soon she remarked that the locket contained lock
