There was that in the expression and tone
of Bessie Graham which warned him that
it would be in vain. Even in that hour,
perhaps the loss of the fortune which the
heiress would have brought him was not
the least bitter ingredient in his cup Of
humiliation. Yes, even in pecuniary
view, his speculation had failed miserably
He had gained five thousand dollars and
lost two hundred thousand.
As for Bessie, she did not gricve much
for the lover she had dismissed 1t was
as she said. All her love for him passed
away when SHE awole to a sense of his
unworthiness. She was firmly resolved
that whenever her hand is given, it shall
be to one who has devoted himself heart
and hand to the service of his country.
