"My wife," said Louis, introducing Camilla to Minnie.

After Camilla at Drury Lane, produced under the superintendence of Nicolino Haym, Addison's Rosamond was produced, with music by Clayton and Mrs. Tofts in the part of Queen Eleanor.

There was, consequently, quite a sensation on the day in the middle of March when the two Fingál girls entered, Camilla in the "Fifth A" grade, where Sylvia was, and Cécile in the third grade, in the next seat to Judith's.

The next Summer Mr. Le Croix took a journey to the North, taking Louis and Camilla with him.

" Louis looked surprised and angry; he had never seen Camilla under such deep excitement.

I didn't notice it," replied Camilla without enthusiasm.

You act so queer!" Sylvia did not answer, every nerve bent on getting Camilla into safety, but a little red-headed boy from the second grade, who could scarcely talk plainly, burst out chantingly, pointing his dirty forefinger at Camilla: "Nigger, nigger, never die, Black face and shiny eye, Curly hair and curly toes That's the way the nigger goes!" There was a loud laugh from the assembled children.

Was Camilla like that statue which the husband inadvertently espoused with a ring, and which interposed between him and his wife for ever?

But you, who were her friend, and knew Camilla of old, I know you can help me as no one else can.
