born English lady ever had stranger

lot of Rachel Dove. To begin with she
had absolutely no associates, male or
female, of her own age and station. for
at that period In its history such people
did not exist in the country where she
dwelt. Practically her only COMPANIONS
were her father, a religious enthusiast.
and her mother. half broken hearted
women, who never for single hour
could forget the children she had lost,
and whose constitutional mysticism in
creased upon her continually until at
times it seemed as though she had added
some new quality to her normal human
nature.
Then there were the natives among
whom from the beginning Rachel was a
sort OF queen. In those first days OF
settlement they had never seen anybody
in tn least Ike her, no che SO beautiful
for she grew up beautiful-so fearless, or
so kind. The tale OF that adventure of
hers as child upon the island in the
midst of the flooded torrent spread all
through the country with many fabulous
additions. Thus the katfirs said that she
was Il "Heavenherd.' that is, IL nlacica,
pcrsoa who can ward of or direct the
lghiniDps which she was supposed TO
have done upon this night; also that she
could walk upon the waters for otlerwis.
