The two were to become one as the
redeemed soul in the Christian faith
becomes "a new creature" in divine
love. And thus she loved and trusted.
Old Charley Molier was happy too, in
his way. The long-nursed plan of his
life for the marriage OF Nivette and her
cousin, Adolf was scattered and aban-

At the happy home OF Joseph Gust
and Mary. where Joseph the younger
had spent 50 many happy hours, a
cordial approval met the approaching
union of the adopted son with Vivette
Molier. They had known her dead
mother and remembered her many
worthy qualities which appeared to
them to shine out afresh in the daugh-

of care and fostering love upon the
boy saved from the waters and the
whirlwind, and they had their reward
not only in the exercise of these
humane virtues. but in the return of
gratitude and true tilial love on the
part Of their adopted on. And they
saw him about to take his place at the
bar and among men with the chosen
partner OF his life beside, him to Jointly
