CHAPTER V.
OhAF Eh V.
1 MEET AN OLD ACouAINTANCE

AEEA AN OLD AN0SA1NlANI6
Brarksome's conversation was not without
its interest for me, vastly though ! should
have preferred to listen to the voice of
Daisy The doctor had, I fancied, some
suspicion of the state of my feelings regard
ing the beautiful girl who had been SO long
a resident in his house. Whether he re-
garded me with approval as a possible
suitor for her I could not tell My instinct,
indeed, toll mo that he could hardly look
upon a comparatively Door man like myself
as being fitting husband for the heiress of
the millionaire. But he allowed no sign Of
such feeling to make itself manifesto and
he talked about Daisy to me now, evidently
because he felt that no other theme would
interest me so deeply. What he had to say
was indeed matter OF interest to me. He
told me that Miss Stanolife was the
daughter of Mauleyerer's sister, who had
married when very Young This l had
known before What had not known was
that there had been trouble n Mauleverers
family in consequence of the marriage.
"Mau everer is a very proud man, though
he does not wear his pride on his sleeve
Daisy's father was-well, he has been dead
now for more than sixteen years, so why
should rake up scandal against himi Poor
grill She lost her mother within a few
months Of the death of her father had at
tended the mother in her last illness and
my wife took pity of the child and adopted
her, having no children Of our own"
"But why did Mauleverer himself not
adopt her at that time2" / asked
He eyed me keenly for moment before
answering. "Mauleverer did not know OF
her existence at that time" he said "Daisys
mother made me promise on her death bed
that would never reveal the secret Of the
child's parentage to her brother"
"But you broke your promise in the endp
al did. Was l not right to do sol 1t Is
not an easy thing for a man of honor TO
prove unfaithful to such trust as that. But
had to think of my duty to the living as
we'll as to the dead. Think of my situation,
my good young friend, and then say
whether you condemn me- There was
Mauleverer, a lonely man. whose life was
without any joys, though his wealth was
almost fabulous. And here was Daisy
growing up to be what you see her now, but
in poor mans house, with no prospect Of
ever being anything more than a poor
mans wife"-I WINGED as he uttered these
words-"in an Australian town. Did / not
do well to think of the living before the
deadp
"Yes; if you ask me that question, can
only answer with an emphatic affirmative"
"Mauleyerer has found new joy in life,
in the society of his niece. He is com
pletely wrapped up in her--as you may
perceive"
"And are you still engaged in practice as a
medical man| / asked
"No; have dropped medicine. lost my
wife some years ago 1t was nearly as great
a loss to Daisy as to me. Since then l have
been Mauleverer's agent He Is the most
generous OF n2n-
