Ever ilnee hla boyhood he had laughed and sneered at the mere Idea of the liner feelings he believed that overy man has ha price and that honesty and honor are thlnRB useful as terms but of bo real existence. And now "he was' wondering- really wondering If this girl meant the things she said; If she really felt a mental loathing? of suoh tnlnds and purposes aa he knew his own were, or If It were merely acting: on her part. Defore he could speak she turned en him. again more fiercely than before. "Shall I tell you something- else In plain langusger' she asked. "You evidently possess a very small and limit d knowledge If you have any at all ! of women, and you apparently don't rate their mental qualities at any high standard. "Let me tell you that I am not quite such a fool aa you seem to think met You came here this afternoon, to bargain with me I You happen to 'know how much I respect my guardian and what I-owe him for the care he has taken of me and my brother.

And you're not afraid for him I You know you aren't. It wouldn't matter twopence to you If he were hanged tomorrow, for you ,hate him. Out look to yourself! Men who chut and scheme, and plot, and plan as rod oo come to bad ends. Mind yours 1 Jllnd the wheel doesn't come full circle. And now, if you please,' go away and don't dare to come near me again I" Dryoe made no answer. He had lis tened, with an attempt at a smile, to all this fiery Indignation, but as Mary spoke (he last words he was suddenly aware of omethlnar that drew hla attention from her and them. Through an opening- In Kantford'a garden hedge he could soa the garden door of the Folllots' house acroes the close.
