for Miss Brandon, and managed TO quiet
that cry by telling her Miss Brandon was
asleep, and must not be disturbed, at the
same time tearing about in search of some
thing to do with her, while she trailed at
my heels with dog-like devotion.
And then her tntoxication, If such can
call it, began to take alarming forms, winch

box I read Miss Brandon. One powder

her head with a Keeling motion. while L
stared at her in lively horror. But how is

"Lor help me, them spirits went straight

gloomy house and l seemed to see dark
