leading him TO say inadvertently that he would
be 4 father TO them. This, the yarn said. was
taken as a proposal of marriage by Mrs. Gilbert.
and, in spite Of his protests, the Professor was
made to fnltll II. Then. the Professor duties
at his school being so cXRcting that he could not
leave them, the now Mrs. Cargill started off on
