His name father, is Mortimer
Claiming"
Mr.. Ezelle said nothing immcdi-
atcly. He was hot only thinking Of
the present, but his thoughts were
busy with the past. lie remembered
how he, in his earliest and first love
had led poor unknown girl to the
altar because he loved her, and that
too, in defiance Of his relations. His
parents were dead, hut had they been
living, Mr.. Ezelle felt that il would
have been hard for him to have sac
rifced his heart to the cold estimate
ofiamily pride, yet perhaps, had Mr..
Ezelle not been an orphan at the
time, he would never have married
Caroline Linwood. His daughter
was also silent, thinking what her
father would next say. She did not
wait long.
"Arc you and Mortimer already
engaged, said Mr.. Ezelle.
"Yes father, and have been fol
: several months"
"And how did you know tina,
your father would approve your Sc
, lection, my daughter?'
