didn't dance at hrst-oud wouldn't dance again." she
added with decision that depressed him What the
reasons we're she would not tell him
From the next girl he asked to dance nc got tic
information he required namely that she had quit her
fathers house that day because her parents had wished
make her marry against her will-to marry man be-
cause he was wealthy Gas wealth went there) and we'll
todo. The girl added her opinion that she thought
Saabh might go farther and fare worse, she was
without fortune, for her father would certainly refuse
pay her penny If she married any other man
But there differ with you" he said, almost angrily.
"I think she is proving herself we'll worth havine'
And when he returned to Saabh he told her that he
had discovered her secret and" he added, 81 admire

Saabh smiled, through blush at such frank admira-

for that do admire YOU
But, is, it is, he replied if it stopped saying"

liked better For my part" she said, again, Il would
not choose that sort of never to have one"
And there was flash from her eye she said this.
" All, but" he appealed, you don't understand. I
haven't courtcd this woman 1t wasn't. nor isn't, my
wish at ALL at ALL to marry her. 1t is all the work of
mother; she has wrought me sorely to do this. My
faher-God rest ml-is long dead, and mother has
always dotted me, and have always been very very
fond of her. and yet did anything to anger her.
I refused this but she pressed too hard, and
bore me, till at length had to consent that would
