At an early age I lost my father, and as he
left,us with.but little of this world’s goods, it
soon became necessary that t should find some

andoot very atout yet with"a

jy sister Lucv>:wbo was two years older than, |
olypclf, had long detected my failing strength ,
and ll was mainly through her efioria ,that-I>

ill was now fifteen—tall, slim and pale—and
I Vhbw that I could not stand any sort of work'
