She Said II.

"You are no gentleman she
wrote, "if you think | said such
a thing as she said you said said
| had said"
"Dear GIRL" he answered,
"you must not think you think
you must be the kind of girl
think you must be if you said
such a thing as you said she said
| said you said you had SAID"

knew she said just what she said
she heard he had heard her

heard her say, but with intuitive
feminine tact she accepted his
apology.

by the situation that had developed.
He was under great personal obliga-

ence, in fact. had been the prime
cause Of his success in attaining
to the important official position he
now held, and he would have gone far
70 serve the magnate in any difficulty
that might arise. He had been per-
fectly willing 20 employ all the re-
sources Of his office 20 relieve the son
from the ENHANCEMENT with a woman
Of unsavory notoriety. Now. thanks
to the miscarried plotting Of Burke

merely a vicious state Of affairs va
become one Of the utmost dreadful

committed IN the house of Edward

edged himself as the murderer. Tho
District Attorney felt a genuine sor-
row in thinking Of the anguish this
event mus have brought on the "a

enough for the son. His acQuaiut
snce with the young man convinced
MIN that the boy had not done the
deed Of bloody violence. In that fat
was a mingling Of comfort and anX-
iaty. II had been better. doubtless
