to her parents, Lord and Lady Lev
erglen.
In the course of the proceedings
the nurse had taken violently Ill.
In her last moments she begged to
see Dorinda, but the young girl re-
fused to go. Even in death the eyes
of the Welsh nurse famed with
passion.
'Never mind" she said, 1--WE shall
soon meet where she must come"
After the terrible blow to her
pride, Dorinda shut herself up in
her darkened room and became
more and more imterious than
ever. The Countess Leverglen, who
was distracted, came and sat by
her bed and soothed her while
with flattering hopes and promises.
But Lord Wellsbury had deserted
her and she was crushed to the
earth.
The countess was compelled by
the law to recognize and receive
the real Lady Dorinda as her
daughter. Poor Polly, as she had
been christened, could not remain,
but was to go to country home
till she had grown more reconciled.
The proud girl spoke to no one
She lay in the bed with her face
to the wall. The countess, who
was nearly broken hearted, tried
to soothe her in vain. At last she
left the room.

The laudanum was brought in a
half-pint bottle.
There, miss, do it feel easier?"
said Rose, after rubbing it we'll.
Eyes, thanks" answered Polly
sleepily. But leave the bottle for
fear the pain comes back"
When she drew her young lady's
curtain in the morning she was
still asleep. She went to the bed,
but started back with a shrek. The
face was the face of the dead! The
laudanum bottle showed the way
the proud girl had chosen to end
all.
The real Lady Dorinda, uncouth,
ignorant, chose to go back to her
old friends.
