Fanferlot was .perplexed. Happily
nc always had several strings to his
bow.
Personal considerations having no
hold upon this impulsive nature, he re-

Prosper.

ho said; "let us go IL you desire il;
only permit me, while there is yet
Anne, to say that we are very probably
going TO do great injury TO Monsieur
Bertony."
"iu what way. if you please2"
Because we are taking a step that
he expressly forbade in his letter; we

"ohry him, my child" said Fanfer-
