structure of which he was the archi-
tect, his fathers sole claim to recog-
milton was the paternal love he bore
the wife OF Bromley, Jr.
He decided that on Christmas he
would call upon Mrs. Gilner and set
tie matters. He felt convinced she
was necessary to his happiness, and
he possessed that buoyant confidence
which youth blindly weaves with sim
certify of purpose.
On the same day Bromley, Sr. sat
long, an unopened volume OF Browne
on the Domestic Relations" being
the only visible sign of his pre-occu-
patton. He was methodical man and
reviewed the situation logically. He
loved Mrs. Gilner, and he decided that
on Christmas he would ask her hand
in marriage. He had never called up
on her, indeed had never spoken to
her OF family matters. 1t was under
stood by both father and son that
she was widow. Each had decided,
with unerring masculine intuition,
that her married life had been unhap-
by, and her husband brute. Their
grief social talks had touched only on
abstract matters. He had refrained
from broaching personal TOPICS, from
a chivalrous regard of their relations
as master and servant. He wanted
to see her away from the everlasting
influx of legal documents, and then he
would tell her how dear she had be-
come to him, how much greater a
space she could fill in his life if
she only would, and how care
fully he would guard her hap
piness. He was not confident, but
hopeful. After enumerating his points,
he decided that he had good case.
He had been somewhat perturbed by
his sons evident fondness for Mrs.
Gilner; but after watching the two
keenly. and observing her frank. I'M
conscious manner toward him, he felt
this q contingency which could be
safely disregarded. "Merely platonic;
he'll come to look upon her almost as
a mother" he thought.
He turned to "December 25' in a

1t was near three p. M, when Brom-
ley. Sr., walked briskly along a re-

by row OF cottages stunted in size
but overpowering in architectural

AS the numbers grew, his heart, an
organ whose action had for years
been marked by the utmost conserva-

her other hand softly caressed the

itself about his high, white forehead.
When Bromley, Sr. saw the look OF
patient, self-sacrificing love in the
wife's eyes, and noted the invalld's

history, and with it imbibed from
