CHAPTER TX.

The steamer ON which Mrs Dimes
arrived was three days belated, to our
great Impotence. arriving only the
day but one before the wedding invita-
tons were to go out; and as the
bishop was-away from town on a trip,
which annoyed and puzzled his sister,
II fell To my lot to accompany her to
meet Mrs. Dimes.
IL had been years since | had seen
that lady and then but once and brief
ly. but l knew her the moment she
came down the gang-plank, so exactly
did she look as | had been sure she
would; large. ruddyish woman, in
an indifferently tailored cheviot, with
mans keen eyes, woman's nose,
the copious chins of the bishops de-
scription, and mouth inclining slight
ly TO gentleness, with firm jaw; the
brusque, direct woman that one finds
in a thousand She had come easily
into success, as the bishop had said,
and one could see that II Arson Dimes
had not accomplished anything for
himself, she must have accomplished
II for him, since woman built in her
mold could not have been failure nor
have allowed the man she married to
remain one.

She nodded briefly when was pre-
sented to her. declined the arm
preferred, and. when we had finally
got to the carriage, leaned back and
closed her eyes, maintaining an abso-
lutte silence except when she aroused
herself To answer richly some Ques-
tion in the flow OF Miss WinstaRleys
Solicitude, Il was evident that NAL
de mer did not leave her in the most
amiahle spirits in the world
