Salome read these words: —

« Dear Madam: I promised to prescribe
for you. Oblige me by relying implicitly, for
once in your lue, upon a person who knows
what is necessary for you. Oblige me yet
further by returning with my sister, who will
call for you to-morrow, and bring you on a
visit to our home. Then and there we can
consult together, and I promise you shall not
regret either now or ever having trusted us
as your friends. Your respectful ser\'ant,
Hebz Sabona."

''It is a charming note; but do you think
it will make her come P "

'' She must come. Should she refuse to
come with you, I will go for her myself. But
she will not refuse ; you will have her safe
this time to-morrow."

" 1 dare say they will refuse to give her
any salary, if any salary be due to her."

** I dare say they have never given her any
salary at all. I dare say they don't intend to
give ner any until she is groton up. But in
case they Imve been so generous, they shall
pay Fanny Mixen; if not, I will pay her
myself."

"Herz, how could you ever have arranged
all this while you have been tearing about
all day P"

" I did not ; it was while I sat still in the
carriage. So it is aU happily settled. We
will leave it alone, if you please. Is there
an objection left in your mind yet, Loma P
You wince at something still, I do believe."
