Well! and what was the matter now? Manuela had risen from her despairing position, and was now bustling about the hut, brushing, smoothing, tidying up, with an air of smiling alacrity. But indeed, yes! she said; the señorita put her to shame. If the señorita could endure these trials, it was not for her poor Manuela to complain. No, indeed, sooner would she die.

Young Baudin had to sign it, upon which, on the demand of the Commissary of Police, they "made over" to him the body of his brother. During these signatures, Gindrier in the courtyard of the hospital, attempted if not to console, at least to calm the two despairing women.

"You're wonderfully like your father, Noll, in more ways than one, I hope. Can a lad like you ever be contented in this old house?" "I I hope so, Uncle Richard," Noll replied, mocking these words, however, by a very despairing tone. Trafford smiled grimly. "He's weary of it already," he thought; "and who can wonder?
