the best society OF the town, and IL was at
a social gathering Of the elite that he first

anger Of her parent, yet light over the hap

her home, leaving behind an angry father
and a sorrowing mother.
As Is too often the case with young men,
Kari Douglass had lived up To his income,
and aside from his monthly salary, was
penniess. Through the exertions Of
Colonel Kane, who spared TO pains TO pun

Adrift in the world, seeking employment
and finding none. was the fate of the young
teacher. He had no trade and was entirely
dependent upon his education for a living.
A year later found the young couple oc
cupying miserable quarters in tenement

face. The rose had wand TO white on
