habit Of saying unklnd things and be-

Brandon was the wrong man to say
them TO, as Mary learned He was not
hot tempered-in fact, just the reverse
but he was the last man to brook an
affront and the quickest to resent in a
cool headed, dangerous way an inten-
tional offense.
He respected himself and made 9TH

least. He had no vanity, which is but
an inordinate desire for those qualities
that bring self respect and often the re-
suit of conscious demerit, but he knew
himself and knew that he was entitled
TO his own good opinion. He was every
Inch a man, strong, intelligent and
brave to temerity, with a reckless dis
regard Of consequences, which might
have been dangerous had it not been
tempered by dash OF prudence and
caution that gave him ballast.
