ANNETTE's ROMANCE.
BY HERO STRONG.

All the n:neteen years of her life
ever since she was an iufant, Ia fancy
Annette Raymond had felt strange
antipathy for Mr.. George Wortley, her
fathers partner in business. ss3b
There existed no tangible reason fot
this feeling, and Annette had tried to
overcome it, but without successes.
Perhaps you know that many Peopls,
and usually the most sensitive Of their
raee, are subject to this feeling. They
love without knowing why, and hate
without being able to reason it ont.
Mr.. Wortley was u handsome man,
snave, gent!emanly, well educated, and
