untidy cuckoo or man, per

anything could have driven me from

Of such a father-in-law.

but exquisite hps-all the stigmata Of
passion was there. But | was sadly
conscious that up to now l had never
found the secret Of drawing II forth.
However, come what might, l should
have done with suspense ana bring
matters to a head tonight She could
but refuse me, and better be a re-
pulsed lover than an accepted brother.
So far my thoughts had carried me,

uneasy silence when two critical, dark
eyes looked round at me, and the proud
head was shaken In smiling reproof
