most desirable matrimonial venture.
With Il Shudder of repugnance he put
the thought from him, loyal to that
good friend and comrade.
James Bansemer came into his office
late that morning. He had not seen
Graydon the night before. but at break
fast the young man announced his
good fortune and asked for his bless
ing. To his sons surprise the elder
man did not at once express his APP
proval. For a long time he sat silent
and preoccupied to all appearance, mar
rowly studying his sons face until the
young man was constrained to laugh
in his nervousness.
"You love her, you are very sure?"
asked the father at last.
Better than my life" cried Graydon
warmly.
"She has good blood in her." said
Bansemer senior slowly, almost alb
sently.
81 should say so. Her father is a
wonderful man."

without taking his eyes from the sons

'Jane is q beauty, and--I am proud of
her."
"She is too good for me-" lamented
Graydon happily.
II can't very well contradict her flu

was a hungry look in his eyes as he
glanced from time to time at the face
of the boy who had his mothers un-
forgettable eyes,
A messenger brought Mrs. Cables
note to Bansemer soon after his ar

the boy came. They had been dis

accepted the note and dismissed the
