him, the belief that Williston was
dead; but 1t came surely. With it
came the jeer of the specter that
would not let him forget that he
should have foreseen what would
surely happen. With it came also a
great tenderness for Mary, and a re-
doubled vigilance to keep his unruy
tongue from blurting out things that
would hurt her who was looking to
good friendship, for brotherly counsel
and comfort.
