The decision to which, veryinwilling. |

the past three months were ‘ell foun-

had gone through him as Bb clasped |

the dimmness,
“It’s a lawyer's business to be far-
tighted.,” he said. **I have found it
out now-the fact of which yeu speak
~and 1 am afraid only just in time."
A harshness was in his tine which
surprised the listener,
“I do not understand.”
Trent,
“Why, I mean that, had tle disease
gone further I might have poved up-

now. ”
“You astonish me more aml more,
Miss Gerrow is beautiful, of god birth,
and well educated,
in the bargain; and if she caresfor you,
and ber uncle consents, whatpossible
obstacle can intervene?”
“You have said,” returned Edgar,
moodily, “‘ahe is an heiress,’
The lawyer bit his lips to kep from
a loud explosion of misplacel merri-
ment.
“The very thing that, wheher she
were pretty or plain, would mike her

riage. She might learn to think so,
too, and that I could not bear, I have
seen plenty of this already-—in my own
family.”
The concentrated pathos of the last
sentence, and the involuntaly sigh
whith concluded it, touched the soticl-
tor. His meditated words of bintering
temonstrance were not uttered
“What shall you do then?" ht asked.
“Shun the danger, fight the lempta-
tion, work the harder,
away as in other circumstances | might
be tempted to do; my living lies in
Brixvy. But you can help me consid.

“1! How?

The route the pair had taken brought
them within the cordon of habitation
again,

an heiress now. Indeed she’ll have
barely sufficient to live upon unless this
cousin does something for her.”
Edgar took his advice and went up
to the desolate great house the same
afternoon. Some commonplaces passed
and then that old, old story burst forth
which somehow always seems far too
sacred to be written in detail. Edgar
made a full confession, and not in vain,
“The saddest experience of my

out at the fast falling snowflakes,
Suddenly there was a crash behind
that caused them to look round, A
