What do you know about it?" "Nothing," said Mr. Carlyle. "I do not know what you are talking of. I have been privy to no application." "It seems they want to make out now that Dick never murdered Hallijohn," proceeded the justice, in a half whisper, glancing round as if to be sure that there were no eaves-droppers amidst the trees.

She had no home to go to. When Salome was eighteen years of age, the Superior of the convent wrote to Sir Lemuel Levison, enclosing a letter from his daughter that considerably startled the absorbed banker and forgetful father.

"Very well, Janet. Do you bring it up and ask the man to wait. There may be answer," replied Miss Levison, as the rose clouds rolled over her clear, pale cheeks. The girl courtesied and withdrew.

"I did not know you," she began, gathering herself into her own corner. "What ugly thing is that you have on? It is like a disguise."
"Then I do, in downright earnest, beg your pardon for my dream," said Salome, gravely. "But I have already given you absolution, my erring daughter? Benedicite! Benedicite!" replied the marquis still laughing. At that moment there was a light rap at the library door, followed by the entrance of a footman who placed a small, twisted note in the hands of Miss Levison.
