aaaaJ oHt you cgn tnFpire nm with far more passionate attashment than he has for ms gHilcless httle sister, Such women as yea can sway men as they will"
 II wish that were SC. Agree to what I ask, break off this contemplated marriage, and may believe you are speaking seri- ogsiY, hot in sarcasm
 This matter is in Carols hands. You meq say what you like to her.p
 Yes, and you have her coached to admit nothing to me-nothing of what her looks bctray.n
 She clasped her hands together and leaned Httie forward, wlth sudden change in her tone:
 "Mr. Childer, we owe you debt of gratitude, father and I, but if your putting that money n the firm must result n this, better ten thousand times that you had never obtaiGed t for suNh use. l an not so entirely ignorant of how it was obtained as you may suppase."
 Every drop of blood drained out of Lynar Childer's face; he looked at her witt startled-one might think with terrified eyes. Her glance was on the floor, fort Hnateiy She did not sec that sudden, ghastly change
 ' You may not know that papa had an old business acquaintance with Mr. Farraker, your late uncle's lawyer He had some cause for writing to him when you made your first proposition to become his partner, and he told the fact, laying stress upon the generosity winch prompted you to save him in that way. The reply, some weeks later, deprecated the disappointment he had prob ably suffered along with yourself, since your uncIc's wilt had left but a small axaouutof comparatively worthless property to your sister and yourself instead of the fortune which was expected to revert to the two of you. :"
 LYInan's lips opened I. mechanically.
 l" Did t not occur to you that the worth. less property might have turned out better than Farrakcr belieyed2n
 So papa said, so I thought at the time Since that have had reason to change my mind. Mr. Childer, if Hiram Ingot is using some fact connected with the obtaining Of that money to force Carols compliance. beg ef you to save her at any cost to your self or to us. Better that all should go, than that she be made unhappy for life .
 Something Of his natural color had come back slowly to Lyman's face. One hand piucked nerHeasiE ct button Of his coat; {; but his eyes were n sod to meet, sQuareiv. yet with q sort of sulieH resistance, those dark ones that had tears flashing ii them now.

 You du Norris injustice; you have al ways done hini injustice. He knows nothing of what have been telling you. My own observation. some boasts and insinuations of Inget's, are ali that l draw my con ciusions from. Can you tell ne l am wrong whue you yield to him. even to the sacrifice of the sister you love'7
 Ills eyes fell before her clear, penetrating glance. Shadows crept over his coun- tenance. His mood changed 10 one bitter and scornful

 What madness possessed Lyman that ho should answer her d. he dijz
