"You must take me away to Europe

York society knew her no more.
II was even as lawyer Passavant
had said. Wilfrid chivalrously refused
to touch another dollar of Andrew
Meleen's money!
The interview between him and
Eunice Trevecca, though very brief.
was a touching and trying one.
Acting on one Of those boyish i'm.
pulses which will never leave him.

making restitution and doing penance.

During this interesting recital some

for a quick and easy capitulation. Al

he inquired composedly.
