The; ■ere addressed to the young lady herself. The photographer's cwiosity got the better »f bis judgment, and lie finally said : " You'll pardon me, but this job is a little lousual, isn't it?" " Is it ?" she said, smiling. "It strikes me so," he replied. "I don't Ite why you want photographs of those fetters since you have the letters themselves." "Don't you ? Well, I do.
