THE FIRST LETTER OF DR. ETWALD. "Maurice dead!" repeated the girl, with a pale cheek. "The latter.

"But I'll spoil her designs in that quarter," muttered Maurice, as his thoughts led him to this conclusion. "Isabella shall not be dragged down to the level of her mother. I shall marry her, and so destroy the influence of that vile negress." "Stop crying this minute, Molly," said Dr. John suddenly in the deep voice he uses to Billy and me when we are really ill or tired. "You know I was only teasing you and I won't let you——" "What de doctor say?" asked Dido, in a low-voiced whisper. "No, sir, not till to-day. I don't know what it all means, sir, but I'm sure I know how Dido got into the room.".
