likely to harm a wife, returned Edna
bravely, although her blue eyes filled
with tears but as you say they are
rather queer for stalwart young man
to adopt.
Queer, shifted Mrs. Brunette dis
painfully. should say queer was a
very mild word. Did you ever mention
the subject TO him?
Yes was the reply, few weeks ago.
In fact, Brother Ted told me about
about his unusual actions before he
did you.
suppose SO, returned Mrs. Burnett,
with an air OF forced resignation.
Children are so undutiful nowadays to
their parents; but may your mother
presume to inquire II your flance was
able to explain his remarkable course
Of conduct?
He said he could IL would only wait
and trust him little longer, answered
Edna.
Trust him, repeated Mrs. Burnett
wrathfully, until he gets into the lun.
attic asylum, suppose.
She rose as she spoke and flounced
out Of the room, leaving her daughter
plunged in painful reflections.

other end of the room were softly with.

appeared. 4
Edna looked UP with a startled air,
10, she gasped, how long have you been
behind those curtains?
Long enough to hear myself called

sparkling with merriment. Your re.
spected mother rubbed it in, didn't
she? But ! hope you won't take her
advice and give me my walking ticket.
AS he spoke, he bent over the girl
and pressed fervent kiss on her lips,
which was shyly, yet unmistakably,
returned.
! can't give you up. 10, she murmur-
ed effectionately, but do wish you
would tell me why-why you do queer
things.
Won't insomnia and Indigestion ex.

Edna glanced at him reproachfully,
then burst into tears. You arc the pic.

you ten me such tarradiddles?
You don't believe me, then? he asked
anxiously. You won't trust me?
She looked UP into his face that had
grown very stern and sombre as he
waited for an answer to his question.
