And he never seemed to recent her

The next day Mr. Hamilton asked a
workman at the mill to tell Primus
Edes that he wished TO speak with
him. As the man stood waiting. not
venturing TO speak himself. Mr.. Ham
ilton said:

Mr.. Hamilton turned TO his desk and
took up his pen, and Edes returned to
his work.

She did not explain her meaning

merly that very day. calling at the
parsonage for the purpose. Mr.. Ham,
merly a little more pallid, but gentle
and kind in speech as ever. soon came
out Of his study TO speak to her. and
she Immediately broached her errand.

And with this assurance. and con-
siderably lightened in her mind, the
kind-hearted woman took her way

Mr. Hammerly called to see Pri-
mus Edes one night after his days
work was ended. and found him softly
playing the violin in his own room,
sitting quite like a gentleman in dress
ing gown and slippers, thought Mrs.
Fry. as she conducted the minister
into the apartment.
What was said at the interview no
one knew but Mr.. Hammerly came
forth exceedingly thoughtful. and
Edes played far into the night, but
with closed windows.

In an affable manner, aud later the

That lady was not glad to see him,

Moore however, was nervous, so at
