She wore a fine India muslin dress with robe front of Valcncienncs inser- ton and claborately trimmed with deep lGcc of the same costly material. Her dress was cut low with short sleeves, and round her neck was hung a fine, pGic coral necklace with gold mount ings. Short, white lace socks clasDed her rounded limbs; her tiny feet were enc2scd in crcam-colored kid shoes, and her embroidered fanncls and dainty potticoats, as they pccped from be- meath her dress, were perfect specimens of the seanstress' art.

 The woman, startled by the intense ness of the lady's question, colorcd scarlet, and bursting into food of tears replied in an accent which re- minded one of the hills and dalcs of Der byshire:

 Yours, mem, yours indoed-why, thought Ambrose was mans name, m I'm sure the lady said thc little girl was to be left in charge of her brother ''Oh, I only meant, Mrs. Evcsham cx- olaincd, that the house mentioned lcrc is my house. Mir. Ambrose Ar ington lodged with me, but he died very suddenly last Friday. Please tell ne at once what you know about his 'amily."
 T don't know no moro than the lead" the woman said earnestly; it is he strangest thing I ever heard of in ny life"
