"WeIl, why should that have made It

HOW he CONQUERED.

The man shrugged his shoulders with
an awkward attempt at Indifference. 1t
was plain that crisis was at hand.

The woman at his side remained
thoughtful for some time, her mind at
work collecting all the evidence in the past
that was against him. At length she broke

upon your patrimony and the whims and
fancies that might sway you. At that
time was blind to my natural rights and
accepted your love in the same spirit in
which it was given. 1t happens, however,
