therefore with some difficulty that | at

GarbouA consented 20 be notified. and

Of course this great piece, of news
knocked all other subjects Of conversation

talking about. no longer interested me.

doubtfully. then critically, but at last ap-
proyin-ly lie was forced 10 admit that
Fred had written something which. for
some re2scr or other. had found favor in
the eyes OF one Of the greatest literary
authorities in the country. Garbould IS

he is "a skeptic and cynic CT the same

Fred laughed and blgahcd. and went of
evidently well pleased with himself. with

Wei. the result of it all was that Fred
and Laura were married. Mrs. Rutledge
did all in her power to break of the
match. but when she found that was i'm
possible she consented with as good grace
as might be TO an early marriage. Miss
Window said that she had given her
wosd that if Fred got an article accepted
she would marry him. and she was deter
mined to keep her promise. Besides. she
argued that the very fact Of the accept
ance Of his story by so high ar authority
rs The Eclectic was proof positive that
Fred had great literary career before
him. Whether Mrs Rutiedge was con

reasons for doubling 1t is far more
probable that she was finally urged 20
forego her opposition 10 the marriage
rather by motives % policy than because
she was converted 70 a more hopeful view
Of Fred's future as al author. Miss
Window was en- heircss and she was Just
coming Of age. Her guardians could.
perhaps. make her uncomfortable for n
short tine By withholding their consent.
But ia the end she would marry the man
OF her choice, and then she was not likely
10 forget those who had evilly treated
her. It would. On the whole. BE- pleas
