began--about what her angry, indig-
nant, sympathetic heart had prompted
her to say and do TO help John Ohm
stead's nephew and punish Richard
Raymond. With wet cheeks she looked
up TO her father for his verdict.
III Thaddeus Braddon could have been
left alone for the next five minutes, he
would have given half his fortune; but
he was not left alone. Esther's anxious,
troubled face was right before kim. lie
saved the half of his fortune, but he
ran great risk of internal combustion
OF some kind, which might have been
much worse.
He did his best TO look serious and
grave while she continued:
"You know, papa, didn't really want
TO marry Mr.. Raymond at any time. l.
never wanted TO marry anyone, and j
never shall want TO. 1t will not matter
at all if / am bound in this way so that
| can't. Don't you think 1 did right,
papa?"
Perfectly right, Esther" Braddon
said, solemnly. II will look into thia
matter OF Raymond at once, and IL the
half is true l will have a word with
him. lie will not annoy you after that.
Any arrangement you have made with
John olmstead's nephew will be per-
fectly safe and honorable. rest assured.
Now do you 60 right home and rest
till the time comes. Marrying is a
tough pull on the nerves, however you
do il, and you'll need all your strength.
Ill tell you what well do, Esther. You
go through this thing like n major.
The chances are he'll offer to give up
dozen times before you see the end,
for he'll think it's hard on you; but
don't you let him do IL. Don't let any
thing slip so that the boy will drop
his fortune into Raymond's hands after
all; and when it's settled you and win
take that trip to Europe we've beer
talking about. Wen start one week
from to-day, IL you see this thing
through all right. Now run home
that's good girl"
At last he was able to lock the door
Of his private Office and be alone. 1t
was none too soon. Thaddeus Brad
don, the white-haired head of Draddon
g. Burridge, sank into the nearest arm
chair, helplessly convulsed.
Clasping his own hands, lacking the
visible hand OF his old friend to clasp,
he shook them with cordial energy,
gasplng, between the uncomfortable
paroxysms:
"Oh, Jack, dear old boy, Jack, did you
ever hear of such luck in all your life :?
Mary's boy, Jack, and my Esther!
Why, it's almost as good as IL Mary
was to come back herself and marry
me. Oh, Jack, Jack, Jack! And just
