I said, bitterly. parents could not
keep me from you If you wanted me,
Gretchen" 'sf
The tears were falling fast over her
cheeks. She was sobbing heavily.

Then she drew the ring 1 had given her
from her finger. @'E fatsl

to him. He was farrier, and taught nae
his business,an soonkI was able to make
money at it. But money was nothing to
me now, except 90 far as 1t was needed
to enable me to live from day to day. i
sent it to my parents, and they, needing
nothing, put 1t away in the bank with
the little store they were saving for my
good.

ever pretty, for wife; but mother could
