yet 1t was obvious that she was taking
more and more interest in her daughter
esdrdlng her from top to toe, admir-
ing her dress even, and all the time hold

She let the girls hand fall, and turned
away dejectedly, and sank down into
tne easy chair again, with sigh. But
Aolanoe was mistress of herself now. She
went forward, put her hand upon her
mothers shoulder, and said firmly:
Mother, will not allow you to re-
main here. 1t is not a fit place for you,
l nave come to take you away myself;
the lawyers have not sent me; they want
nothing. Dear mother, do make I'D your
mind to come away with me-now."
her entrcaty was urgent, for she could
hear distinctly that there were some high
words being banded in the lobby; and
out any unseemly squabble.
DO, mother! Everything is ready.

AT this moment the door opened; and
a short, stout, red-faced black-haired
woman made her appearance. 1t was
clear that the alteration with Jane had

Yolande turned with flashing eyes.

For a second the woman was cowed
by her manner; but the next moment she
had bridled up again.
Leave the room, indeed! Leave the
room-in my own house! Not until I'm
paid. And what's more, the poor dear
lady isn't going to be taken away against
her will. She knows who her friends
are. She knows who have looked after
her and nursed her. She shan't be fore
ed away from the house against her
will, l warrant you"
Leave the room this instant, or I
will send for policeman! Yolande
said, and she had drawn herself up to
her full height, for her mother, poor
creature, was timidly shrinking behind
her.
"a policeman! Hoity-toity" said the
other, with her little black eyes spark
ling. YOU'D better have not police
men in here. It's not them that are
robbing a poor woman that should call
for a policeman. But you haven't taken
her with you yet; and what's more, she
sha'n't move an inch out this house UNI
til every farthing that's owing to us is
paid-that she sha'n't. We're not going
to be robbed SO long as there's the law.
Not till every farthing is paid, l war
rant! so perhaps you'll let the poor dear
old lady alone, and leave her in the
care of them that she knows to be her
friends. A policeman, indeed! Not one
step shall she bulge until every farthins
of her debt is paid!'
