For Dora and Ralph to marry, Dora and Miriam should be the best of friends, so that both brother and sister should desire the alliance, and in furtherance of this happy result, Miss Panney determined to take Dora away with her.

Dora was a Negro servant in the Bond home.

But Dora was the dearest of good friends, Miriam was very sure of that.

Dora was a great favorite with the doctor.

It would not be long before Dora and Miriam would be the dearest of chums, and with Ralph's sister away, that Drane girl would have to go.

"But is there not a place called New Mexico?" DORA.

Dora and Amy were not naturally ill-natured girls, but they were inclined to be worldly and were greatly under Agnes's influence.
