The force of childhood recollections

day. says the Bangor Wing. A quiet
looking, middle-aged man of prosper

when another well-dressed man took a
seat opposite him. After giving his or
der in bluff, genial manner, the new
conner took sip of water and faced
around. Suddenly a queer expression
came over his face, as he watched at
tentiyely the actions of his vis-a-vis.
and, apparently. without realizing what
he was doing, he blurted out in a loud
tone: We'll, we'll, WE'LL" Every one

From me? | did not write" said
Florence, in a low, hesitating tone
William, who was still holding her
in close embrace. suddenly released
her and stepped back.
You did not? You have not sent
me single line during the long
months OF our separation? You have
not once attempted to elude the watch
set on your movements? Yet you must
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 renounced me and all Of

Your father-not you. What other
answer could | make to his shameful
demand? Either he never knew me,
or he could not have set such a choice
