I should enjoy scolding her soundly
and then kissing her!

sat down to hard work over the pa
pers, and when morning dawned could
talk definitely about the state of affairs.
Well, they were in a very bad way,
indeed. / made no effort to mince
things to Josepha, who had made me
an early call. She gave little gasp,
turned her back on me, and walked
straight to the window.
1t was beastly morning; couldn't
have been nastier. The rain fell-driz-
zle, drizzle, drizzle. She could see the
gray shaft which marked her father S
grave. 1t was dreadful! The clock
ticked on and on.
''Josephar' (Anything to break
this stormy sllence).
No reply.
"You are not legally bound to pay
these debts. All the law can do is to
claim the estate"
Perhaps she heard. She turned her
head trifie.
Il do wish you would be more like
people. Here | am with more money
than can use. Borrow of me. Your
false notions will benefit nobody, and
as for your pride | call it foolishness.
At any rate, stay here at Deerwood.
viii go away willingly if it will be
pleasanter in any way for you. Let me,
as your fathers old friend, advise

the loss of your regard, Major, must
still adhere to my course.
She scratched off two advertisements,
handing them to me as she rose
Wanted-PoSition as gOverness, and
''For Sale-Hamilton Place." were the
headings. | did my best to obtain her
consent to tearing up the first, but all
she would say was: ''Do not urge me. y
How like she was to Oswald, with
that square jaw, that clear, firm tone,
and imperious pose.
And SO (perhaps because of the re-
minder) | gainsaid her no longer. Gov.
erness she should be if she wished, and
Josepha went home pleased as any
headstrong girl who has her way.
In pursuance of plan to head hel
off | sent telegram to Reg. The idea
| of her not loving such fine, manly,
| true-hearted fellow, the best man ever
inside Lieutenant s uniform. He had
only to ask to wed anywhere. He came
as soon as he could get leave. They
were off in fortnight.

There is one power that will stot
