learned from a servant, who had been
kept awake by a toothache, that his
daughter had arisen at four clock in
to the gray dawn. She had not returned
at nightfall, and when it was ascertained
that her aunt in New York, whom she
frequently visited, was ignorant of her
whereabouts, and that her brother, who
was trying to build up medical prac-
tice in Boston, had not seen her or
heard from her, dark suspicion arose
in SQuaiacket that she had run away
with Philip Mesmer; for Squalacket was
q New England town, and every inhab-
liant IN it had grown weary of compar-
ing his OF her own goodness with that of
the GeighD0rs, and arrived at a comfort
able If somewhat mOnOtonOus conclusion
that the home virtues were little purer
and rather more securely rooted than
any Others.
If there is such thing as an excess
Of righteousness, Squalacket knew what
it was, and ripple of wrong doing APP
pearing upon the otherwise unruffied
surface of its purity was like little
flavor Of onion lurking in q bowl of
salad. Half suspected" it animated
the whole. So the people of the strait
laced town were perhaps unduly hasty
in grasping a forbidden fruit when they
declared, with something nearly APP
preaching unanimity, that Philip Mes
mer and Mabel Stone had eloped.
To be sure, the circumstantial evidence
was strong against the young couple.
Philip was only twenty-five, and though
all his friends said he had i'll him the
making Of great lawyer, he had not yet
been called to the bar This would not
have mattered greatly, because his life
lay before him, and his crusty old uncle
allowed him enough money to cover his
bare expenses, with the provision that it
should all be returned, with accrued il
terest and by increasing installments, as
soon as his profession began to yield him
an income. But Philip, though not yet
a barrister, was too good a lawyer not to
be ignorant of the dangers of delay. He
had already, he hoped, carried one suit
to a successful issue. It was a suit for
Mabels hand in marriage, and the young
lady had rendered judgment in his favor.
But Deacon Stone had reviewed this de-
cision, reversed it, and thrown Philips
case, on motion of appeal, out of court.
He said his daughter was his heiress,
and, as he was rich, no penniless young
fellow, Oh the strength of his expecta-
tions, should marry her.
Philip, however, was not easily non
suited. At a last interview with Mabel,
before he went back to Philadelphia to
digest more law, he offered to release her
from her engagement to him; but Mabel
was not the sort of girl to take advan-
tage of his generosity, and perhaps he
knew that before he exercised it. Love
Especially love with a profound knowl-
edge of law behind it, is rarely quite un
selfish. She promised to wait for him,
if necessary, until time was no longer
young, and he assured her that he would
return to Squalacket te claim her as soon
as he had mastered the contents of his
first brief, which he expected with the
new year; for he was called to the bar
about Christmas, and in January the case
of Collv VS.. West would be tried i the
