Dicks nails had caused the animal great

snar.s and growls and displays his hatred

He decided to cal, for Maisie directly
he left the office OH the morrow. They
would go to the heater and he would
be very kind and very OWNS to make

was Unexpectedly detained in town. and
the following morning found him laid

too ill to move. even to Scribble a note.

gued: she would be sure something was
wrong.
But he had o taken the girls ex-
IRENE sensitiveness into consideration.
She had expected him. AS usual, the
previous afternoon. and II dull pain
had crept into her heart as the hours
Went by and never brought him. BY
the next morning she was wrought

taken in him: now that he was getting
on. he despised the poor little girl who

Why should she not write and ask

wait I'm silence-e"en If it killed her.
And the second evening passed away
and thc next morning found her
wild-eycd and ~despairing. waiting ono
again for the letter that never came.
And so. the victims Of mischancc.
these two fond hearts drifted apart, as
suddenly ard strangely as they met.
Maisic received the offer of IA situation
in an office in Manchester AT "A much
larger salary than she had ever dreamt
of getting, and which she dared not. re-
fuse; and yet how could she so to Il
