Papai returned Jennie, with look
Of Inconsistencies that was bclied
By tho vivid crimson that rose from
The cheeks 20 the temples. II sup.
pose it was to sec about an order 20,
sone goods, or something.
Not exactly, replied her father
smiling, "Hs csmc to see me about
you in short, to ask ny permission
to address you,
jennie redeemed again but the
sudden Aash that cleaned out from
beneath the brown la,hes spoke more
Of scorn than satisfaction.
"O course, gave my consent,
continued Mr. Stacey, after waiting
vainly for his daughter to reply

esteem. Indeed, fsncied, from
xhsi lo .sid, that he was quite sure
Of the nature Of your feelings for
him, else he had not spoken to me-
Jennie's Indignation now reached
its climax, She elevated her natur-

stood at right angles.
Quite sure, was be? | don't
know why he should be, then, |
never gave him .ny reason 10 feel so

Mr.. Stacey looked rather gravely
At his daughter.
don know what you We said to
him, but, l know that he's been here
. good deal, and you vc always seem
ed glad to sec him. l hope you
havsa't been triaing with the young
