she was abruptly interrupted in her en-

held that unulsmayed front. His mother
was proud impertous woman who had
welcomed an alliance with the Church
ills; but how would she regard Alma when
she should learn that she was only al

But youth Is hopeful and brave, so
Robert did not wholly despair of winning
his mother over TO his own opinions.
All arguments proved unavailing with
the woman who had thus burst in upon
the sunshine of happiness which until
then had gilded the lives ofthe Churchills.
The only hope left layin the decision
of the tribunal before which the case was
to be argued.
Both sides of the case had been heard,
and apparently nothing remained but 10
await the legal decision, which was to
give Alma either to the arms OF the

for her so tenderly during her whole life.

Upon investigation it was found that

reply, followed by: won't you look

my mind to accept you. You see,
it would be such dreadful sacrifice on

Pressing her tenderIy to him, he
whispered:

near his own, as he murmured:

at his protesting look, she added: =

AS he would have submitted to any
thing from those fair hands, he ODE
diently kDelt down to have the hand

went and stood as he was requested,
little way off.
Suddenly he felt two plump arms
stealing about his neck, and forgetting
all about the one, two, three business,
he tore off the bandage, and there,
beside him, hiding her blushing face
upon his shoulder, stood Dolly.
