leased him.
For eight months I heard nothing
of him until a few days ago he re-
turned East and asked to see inc. At
first I refused. but later thought
there would be no harm In seeing
him. He told me that the girl had
deceived him. and that he knew now
that he had never loved any one but

ged forgiveness and wants to renew
