-there stood a. square -and gloomy.look--tag ediflce of stone, then occupied byon old dame, Ursula Bond. The house•was rapidly crumbling to- decay withage and want of proper care.

Ursula Bond dwelt there In grim•loneliness, forcing the beautiful andartless Leonora, only child of her de-ceased dnnghtor, to Ilve-.wlth her,- andto do all those menial tasks for the per-formaijcp of which all others wouldnave demanded money.

"It Is lucky for'you, dear Walter,"~ eald the maiden," "that Dame Ursula isnot In hearing, or that bold pat« ofttijno would be greeted with a taste ofher staff." .

"Tliflt for her staff!" aald Walter, qa

"Lift that trap, John Bond," saidshe, pointing to a heavy iron ring Im-bedded in the floor.
