AS the sound of retreating footsteps

certainly did look very unlovely in

swollen, cheeks feverish.
She gave one glance into the mir.

Mercy! what fright I'll not go

There was some uneasy travelling
below for awhile. Mrs. Nettie smiled
little wan smile and wondered how

when the outer door closed and the
footsteps echoed from the gravel

Of the work, as it needs more or less
