nay, it was cursed-with the birth of
a beautiful daughter.
My little girl grew up. She was
the spoiled and petted darling of a

Carl Drexle was a fine type of
man. There was nothing about him
to which I could object. I sincerely
liked him. Graduate of Central
Western college, he was fine type of
young lawyer.
He was unusually handsome. He had
a natural charm and grace that re-

knew it in my boyhood.
Carl had no living relatives, but
I made inquiries about him from the
faculty of the college. found that
their opinions Of him rated him very
highly. He was young man of

to her it meant something from life

She was for sale, but she longed for

After dinner, we went to the den,
