him that she had some scruples about
her engagement to the Baldidder man
he listened with much interest. She
was such a delicate, sweet creature,
he thought. 1t seemed a shame that
she should bestow herself upon a
! hardened man of the world. But Mr..
Lollypad was a decent fellow and he

What is it?'' he murmured gently.
She lifted her blue eyes laden with
tears. Her lips trembled. "He-he"
