would not think Of thrustlng himself

young man soon assured her that he

yards and yards OF trimming on her
counter there were placed the freshes,

did not know that the young man was
the son OF one OF the richest

knowledge came to her through

the devotion OF young Bigelow. When
she learned this she begged Mr., nige-
