LOVE MUST CONQUER

San Francisco Call: Edward Stan
hope, after graduating from Harvard
and spending five years on II pleasant
tou in Europe, was called nome by the
sudden death of his father to find that
he was left penniless to hammer out his
own living.
He had been educated to be a gentle
man, and therefore no business man
wanted him. At last, when all hope
was ebbing away, he happened to attract
Boston merchant named John Jane.
Martyr. After some questioning Mrs
Martyr engaged him to teach French
and German to his invalid daughter
who had gone south for her health on n
Virginia plantation.
In his bluff way the merchant asked
Stanhope to promise on his word that
he would not make love to Rena, his
daughter. "She is too young to be any
thing but romantic" he said.
So it was that Edward Stanhope came
to be n member of the Martyr family,
and through Serena's aunt, Mrs. Com
var, regarded him askant at first, she
was compelled to own that he was n
young man who knew his place.
The daughter, a wilful little blonde
of sixteen, was Il bewitching pupil, but,
though wonderfully quick in catching
the conversational language, was stub
born about rules ana routine. II want
to read and talk, =" she would say, land
| wont learn whole pages of horrid
verses and rules"
So they read and talked, and Stan
hope, in spite Of his resolutions, soon
found himself hopelessly in love with
his pupil.
1t was a year before matters came to
a climax. Rena had been i'll, and in
her delirium her aunt heard words that
warned her to send Edward Stanhope
away. unless they were prepared to give
this IN pet idol of the household to his
loving care.
1t was not Mr.. Martyrs nature to
mince matters, and he sent for Edward
S%tanhOpe to come to his private sitting
oOm as soon as he underrtOOd the case.

gently. "and | regret it deeply; but !
