Fred issnot that kind of a man aunt He
does not like every one and everything, but

lasting part of his life. Even the old

people. He actually regards the RawdonS

Nonsense
''He was surprised by the attack. II

Dora is nearly married woman ana

Nearly may make all the difference.
| When Dora Is married he will be compelled

When Dora is married he will idealize

Dora will give him no reason to sup

you are mistaken, Ethel. Swiftly as

| could she do it?''
| Il am sure Dora meant no wrong II r.

And Fred will forget?"

"A great deal Fred has been so familiar

future member OF the family. II has
been Cousin Ethel and Aunt Ruth and

father hopes for a closer tie between you

| Whatever might have been is over Do
you imagine L could consent to be the sec
ondary deity, to come after Dora-Dora Of
| all the girls have ever known? The Idea
| Is an insult TO my heart and my intel

"Of course. Fred Mostyn will have 10

''Of course he will make duty Of the

continued. England might go to ruin
| If the Mostyns persisted off the English
earth; but. Aunt Ruth, / count myself
worthy of a'better fate than to become

/ of the Mostyns And that is all Fred
| Mostyn's wife will ever be to him, un-

But that very supposition implies

yes. for Dora is a good little thing
| She has never been familiar with vice.
| She has even a horror Of poor women di-

as holy sacrament, and | am sure he
does the same
Then why should we forecast evil TO
their names? As for Cousin Fred, I
| dare say he is comfortably asleep"
| II am sure he is not. l believe he is
