A doctor, who has regard for me,
assures me that have not long to live, !

: his answer; and he bade me prepare.
Mine being wasted life, il is my dearest
wish TO leave legacy Of love behind me.
know why you have made me the offer.
am in your way. You are afraid
having lofty views in which position Of
public linence may probably be yours;
contemplating, also. another marriage.
You see I am well Informed; nowadays
the lives of men who court public favor
are COMMON property-you are afraid,
/ sly, that shall disgrace You: that it
may become known to your disadvant-
! age that You have SO degraded a con-
nection as myself Your enemies may
/ use the fact to your hurt. Let us make
a compromise. Take a passage for me to
Australia, in a ship that sails this very
week If you wish, and give me, instead Of
the annuity, tlO0. In all humane proba-
bility shall be deed before the ship
! arrives at its destinations; but / shall
have the opportunity, by means Of the
cleo, Of doing q good action, and rescu-
/ ing person l love from almost certain
shame. At least. it will be chance foI
her.
For her, exc iaimed Mr. Eversole. y

land, in purer air, she will have .
chance of living purer life In the time
to come she may, perchance, bless the
memory Of her dead sisters husband"

Eyersole. You can not impose upon
me. Not one penny OF my money shall

too generous offer, on the condition /

whining entreaties can move me, order
yea 10 leave my house"
1T was my mothers house." said Mr.
Richard, with lingering look around
such memories as have of it would
have been sweetened by what might
have been, instead of being embit;ered
by what was. l shall presently leave it
