Indian Reservation, cried TO his wife to fol-
low him and he would save her, and plunged
into the water and WAS drowned. His vile
followed him and sank in moment. The
| deckhands lost were George Gowan and Z.
Ray back, and they, with Vickery aud wife

by surprise, for hal only thought of

have found out, it seems, that she is a
beautiful young lady. When we
entered the parlor again said: Per

Hadley is my father, you know

for giving you an aunt and cousin who
stand so high with the best people of

"He muttered something and was
gone. William looked chagrined, but
l told him twas time his secret was
divulged, and there was no chance of
being accused of having mercenary
motives nows
You must have guessed that he is

have heard. AS soon rs you can, give
me an answer for them both, for az
cording to their own accounts they
will suffer untold agonies while they
are kept in suspense. AS to your
choice in this matter, trust you per-
fectly. There, l didn't tell you a mo-
ment too soon for here comes Will
liam will you stay and give your own
answer ?"
"Oh, no, papa, dear" She put her
face close to his. "You can tell Willie
l like him, just little, and-but don't
tell him this, 1 wish he was rich, for
wealth and ease look very tempting"
