Roland, threateningly.
But Florence. who had anxiously
noticed the rising wrath OF the two
men, now interposed.
My father is I'll, william" she said
gently: has been very Ill for months.
During the last few weeks his disease
has assumed dangerous phase. and
yesterday the doctor prepared me for

Her voice was choked with tears.
William listened in perplexity; what
ever wrath he had cherished against
his future father-in-law, this news
disarmed him.
Il had no thought OF this" he said.

He put his arm around the weeping

Harrison to the utmost; his hands

William started back. This cold
blooded acknowledgment completely
destroyed his self-command for a mo-

sternation:
Edward! You did that?"
He turned to her with perfectly
unmoved manner.
II think can explain IT, At first I
acted only at your fathers request,
afterward on my own authority; but
then was simply exercising my rights,
for you will remember that three
weeks ago you consented to become

Have you come at last? Why have

II could not hasten to YOU" replied
William. MY regiment was one Of

Not a day. not an hour was granted

lance between us. You know what 1t

You did not? You have not sent
me a single line during the long
months OF our separation? You have
not once attempted to elude the watch

have known that would make every
effort to send you tidings Of me-"
The reproach was felt, but at the
same time the old sting also pierced
her heart. and. with a touch Of de-
fiance. the young girl answered:
"Tidings OF you did come. but they
were not addressed to me-the letter
in which you renowned me and all of

Your father-not you. What other
