/ Mrs. Walter spoke on various subjects
with her usual .Ivseiiy. Conrad slnmes
threw iimid side glance towards JOSEF

have read 10 his eounlensnee how true

vented his spleen, The girls sewed. the

i Bntesery thing was not seemly with

manifest in all trifling and important mat

difference the less he felt in. The airs
we assume, he thought became second ma
lure. The young man Stunned Joseph
ines society so far as was in his power.
He became stranger in company. Since
books had more attraction for him, he
doubled his undertakings in improving
the estates, conducted few lawsuits in
behalf Of Lord Wallenrolh, which kept
him often away from Atleck, and did eve

And What will you bring for mel"
asked Conrad, taking her hand in his,

She smiled. "For you! why, MT.
