fine musician. Tho minister began to take q |

another and q younger man. But she
went driving with Mr.. Alillet occa-
sicnnlly and allowed him to call on her. These
calls he made very frequently. on the ground
that it was necessary for him to consult with

her house In Kingston on various occasions.
At any rate while Mrs Won Beck was at the
Kouhoupts Mr. Millet invited her and Miss
