It was too much. With an oath.

Stepping to the will, he drew that

Another quiet but insistent knock
greeted him.
In no fury now, but with vague

"These brothers hold by each

nothing against Orlando. He says
that he has redeemed hts fault. He
does not even protest that his broth

"IIe has not had my dream" she
murmured, with all the quiet Of an
unmoved conviction.
Yet as the days went by, even her
manner changed towards the busy in
ventor. 1t was hardly possible for it
not to. The high stand he took; the
regard accorded him on every side;
his talent; hts conversation, which
was an education in itself, and, above
all, his absorption in work daily ad.

SO bright side upon her that tolera-

Meantime, Oswald was steadily i'm
proving in health, if not in spirits.
He had taken his first walk without
any unfavorable results, and Orlando
decided from this that the time had
come for an explanation of his device
and his requirements in regard to It,
Seated together in Oswald's room, he
preached the subject thus:
Oswald, what Is. your idea about
what I'm making up there?"
