"You are just Mrs. Baggett over
again"
Every we'll; 1 am quite satisfied.
Mrs. Baggett is good woman. She
can do something beyond lying on .
sofa and reading novels, while her good
looks fade away. 1t Is simply because
woman Is pretty and weak that she Is
made SO much Of. and is encouraged to
neglect her duties. BY Gods help I

He seemed as though he hesltated as
he sat there under the spell Of her littlo
hand upon his shoulder And In truth
he did hesitate. Could It not be that he
should be allowed,to sit there all his
days, and have her hand about his neck
somewhat after this fashion, Was he
bound TO give it all upp What was It
that ordinary selfishness allowedP What
depth Of self-indulgence amounted to q
wickedness which man could not per-
init himself to enjoy without absolutely
hating HIMSELF Il would be easy In
this case TO have all that he wanted.
He need not send the letter. He need
not take this wretched journey TO Lon
don. Looking forward, as he thought
that he could look, jndging from the
girls character, he believed that he
would have all that he desired-.all that
a gracious God could give him-if he
would make her the recognized partner
of his bed and board. Then would he
be proud when men should see what
sort of a wife he had got for himself at
last in place Of Catherine Bailey. And
why should she not love himp Did not
all her words tend to show that there
was lovep
And then suddenly there came a
frown across his face as she stood look
ing at him. She was getting to know
the manner Of that frown. Now she
stopped down to kiss It away from his
brow. 1t was brave thing to do; but
she did II with brave consciousness Of
her courage. "Now / may burn the
letter." she said, as though she were
about to depart upon the errand.
"Nor' he said. '.L.et me have .
sandwich and glass Of wine, for l
shall start in an hour"
At this moment Mrs. Baggett camo
into the room, detecting Mary almost
In the embrace of her old master.
"He's come back again, sir" said Mrs.
"Who has come baclefr
"The sergeant"
Then you may tell him TO 20 about
his business. He is not wanted, at any
rate. You are to remain hero, and
have your own way, like an old fool "
II am that, sir"
There Is not any one coming to In
terfere with you"
"Sir!"
Then Mary got up. and stood sob
bing at the open window. AT any
rate, you'll have TO remain hero, 70 look
after the house, even II l 60 away.
