Il did not know what l was doins

And now it is your duty to release me
from it. 1t is not fair to hold me
TO it. 1t is not right. John would
be a good husband to me, for he is a
good man, and he loves me well, as
do him, and l want to marry him.
Think of how you and my father loved
each other. Oh, yes, you must have
loved him very much, for il is that love
which has inspired you all these years
with such bitter hate for the man who
wronged him. In memory Of that love
do not be so hard with your poor child,
whose heart is as warm as yours was,

her. -

"No, no, my child 1t would not.

The old woman's face did not relax

as if its lines were so fixed that

power and no doubt shares their profits. -
"Ob. Chester, he is the very man for
you! Why did not think of it before?
He might take notion to give you a
good office and so put you in the way of
some day becoming boss yourself. A"
"Humph! Hardly likely"
"Oh, you can't tell. You don't know
how nice he is. am sure he would do

The man who, situated as Chester
Sewall was, could hear the lady of his
love express such confidence in COM
manding the favors of another man
and yet feel no twinge of jealous suspi-
cion would be a much more perfect
character than he. Yet he would have
been ashamed to give expression to such
a feeling upon so small provocation.
He could simply relapse into gloomy ST.
lence. But Irma did not even notice
that. She had much to say just then.
The idea of becoming the architect Of
her lovers fortunes had suddenly seized
and fascinated her. She amplified and
elaborated her primary suggestion.
Yes, she was sure Of having suffi-
cient influence with Mr.. Pratt to make
him find for her protege some promi-
nent and lucrative Office. Whatever it
might be, she knew that Chester would
grace it, and, his foot once upon the
steep and slippery stairway of fame, he
would surely climb to the top, would be
known Of men and envied, and even
heard of as far away as Boston. Next
year perhaps it might be polite for him
to go to the Legislature, and the year
after, or perhaps the second year, to
congress. Then, she did not doubt, her
father would welcome him as lin
law.

Chester dolefully.
