you and 1 never want TO see you
again" the girl is alleged to have said.
Then she left the house in a ut of
anger. With tears in his eyes Harry
narrated the incident to his aunt, and
the latter advised him to follow the
girl and try and make up with her. In
the meantime h declared she would
pray for the success Of his mission.

h refused to admit him, and he re-
turned 10 he home Of his aunt. He
fOund the latter on her knees in prayer,
as she had promised. Without disturb
