his story without Interruption. Mamie, struck dumb with horror and amazement,
sat with uplirtod hands and eyes, apparently invoking a thunderbolt from pitying
heaven to annihilate this imp of mischief, While Edith Fairfax laughed until tho
roots rang.

Then she turned tJ her coils n with the calmness of despair. "Now 1 am in a ntco fix, am I tiotl Edith, I shall shut myself up in an airtight box for the rest of the your, and never look at Cuthbert Mat-shall again as long as I live." "Htuff and nonsense!
