BEING ROBBED. The next day Daisy felt very much at home. Her orders were not to stir till the doctor came. So after breakfast, and after receiving visits from everybody in the house, she was left to her own devices, for it happened that everybody had something on hand that morning, and nobody staid with her. Left with June, Daisy lay for awhile feasting her eyes on all the pleasant wonted objects around her.
