Julia. Her indignation over the sup
posed double dealing of Philip led her
to give her caller a more gracious re-
ception than usual. Encouraged by
her manner, he proposed and was &C
repted.
Not only did she consent to marry
him, but in response to his pleading
the wedding day was fixed for the
week following. The morning after,
she said TO her seamstress:
81 wish, Miss Scroggs, that you
would put in all the time possible on
your work, for am to be married in
ten days"

screamed: us Phil coming home so

port of his death was such a shock to
me that 1 was almost crazy, and told
you that horrible story. I did not
know that you knew him. Forgive me,
please do" and the wretched woman
fell on her knees at Julia's feet.
a great flood of joy overfowed Jul

She did not stop to inquire why Miss

said, embracing the suppliant. 81 do
not wonder that Pills supposed death

known him all his life. Dry your tears,
my dear, and let US go to work on these

She sent message to Phil that day
and had a painful interview with Mr..
Green that evening, and then she had
to look for another seamstress, for
Miss Scroggs told her she must go
home to rest her shattered nerves.
