every nominal comfort, she had mover

she now hoped TO realize for herself But
she knew that Charley was not able to buy

wished. But she was aware that her
father was the owner Of several tene-
ments, and had been hoping all along
that he would offer to give them one
which he could well afford to do. Sne
knew his peculiar disposition TOO well,
however, to let him know that she
had any such expectation or even wish.
One day she was conyetsing with one Of
her young friends, she remarked il

was really desirous of a scertaining her
wishes in order to crafty them but as it
was, she was too wary to be caught in
such trap.
"lfl must 60 to housekeeping" she
, said 81 do not care much when. Only do
not let it be that dull lonely place on
/ Pleasant street.
The very one that is most su table, rs

attached to it,"
And taking his hat, lie invited Charley
