Before the eyes of all, Belinda Bassett ad-

neck and wrists, with a delicate and dis-

"There is not a shadow of timidity about

"This is actual boldnees! "
But tbis was a very severe term to use,
notwithstanding that it was born of
righteous indigestion. It was not boldness

know that she was being pointed out.
"That pretty blonde," she often heard it
said, "is Martin Bassett's daughter.
