over to offer to carry letter to the

hesitate to say that the attempt to
drive Dave into a marriage with
Amanda was immoral.
Miss Lory herself could not be
suspected of an intention to become
a matron prematurely: she was OF
uncertain age and certain avoirdu-

tiat Dave would see the propriety
OF a match between them. when
Amanda developed ambitions and

have the Farmers Wives Circle of
