CHAPTER X.

Could | doubt any longer that Dick
Mullion had designs upon my life? AS
for his reason, the only one | could
think OF was that was well off and he
was poor. Either he was actuated by
a blind hatred OF me, because |, with
the means to marry. was encouraged
in my aspirations to Jennie's hand by
her father. while he. though she liked
him. was precluded by his poverty
from all thoughts of marriage: or else
he had been seized by the notion that,
II he were to kill me, he might be able
to possess himself of some of the money
he knew carried about me.
The strangest part OF it all was that,
even with the thoughts in my mind,
found myself making allowance for
Dick Mullion and finding excuses for
his conduct
/ put myself in his place, and could
not but allow that my own thought, in
such case would have had very little
of the milk of human kindness in them.
Dick Mulion was no rascal, even il my
awful suspicious of him were true, He
looked like man over whom passion
would have great mastery when it was
once reused: and the terrible gloom
which evidently hung over him | put
down to the misery of despair.
Naturally, however, these thoughts,
feelings, and fears did not tend to raise
my spirits; and when good old Doctor
Mullion found me in my cabin, on the
afternoon of the day following that on
which he had offered to prescribe for
me, | dare say | looked, what he said
! was, the picture of hopeless inya-
lid. Even while he stood talking to
me at the door of the cabin. and while
| was debating how | could best intro
duce the subject Of my suspicious OF
his nephew ] saw Dick himself coming
along toward us, wearing his usual
anxious and hang-dog look.
| knew at once that he had come
to stop the tete-a-tete between his
uncle and me, and | turned into my
cabin with laugh. and without trying
to hide the fact that / guessed why he
had come,

! younger man to hear. HE doesn't APP

you and me- | might say too much
perhaps he thinks,"
Dick appeared Ia take no notice of the
sneer He put his hand in his uncle's
and they went away together. But
there was such a look of anxiety in his
eyes that it occurred to me to follow
| them, and even to try to find out what
they were talking about

Not Up in Geography.

A certain Unitarian minister of Great
er New York is determined that his
young daughter shall not know the dark
side of orthodox religion. The miss
went to the country with her mother
during the past summer. and there
found playmate in the youthful daugh-
terter of village teacher. One day the
following conversation was overheard:

girl. accusingly. Don't You know
