brave strong, purposeful fellow, who
, would dominate me-who would be
my master"
,"Well-what about me?"
"You are out of the question. I'm
very sorry, Augustus-but I cannot
possibly marry you. From motives Of
expediency alone, I have told Moody
| Vickers that am his-that ii to say,
I have given him to understand that
such Is the state Of my feelings. l

has moreover, a passionate nature.
That has yet to be proved"
81 should think So" replied Angus
tus Bayfield,, and strobe away from
her.
a great many thing were to happen
that evening; a number of events were
to center round the ludicrous figure Of
| Augustus Bayfield,. AS he strobe away
from the girls side toward the impro.
vised stage which had been set up, he
almost plunped into the arms OF a III.
tie merry.raced dark man, who was
rushing toward him. Before the little
dark man could speak, Augustus took
him by the arm. and drew him aside.
Augustus Bayfield, being In the mood
to bestow condolences, bestowed them
then and there upon his friend Johnny
Wicks. He explained something OF
his feeling toward Amy Travers; dwelt
upon the fact that she was about TO
marry a man she had known only a
few days, and asserted that such &C.
ton on her part must inevitably bring
ruin and disaster upon himself at least.

Mr.. Moody yickers was n small,
