falseness of the one he loved that had caused the fatal ilfaesa from which the doctor had declared recovery impossible i hastened immediately to him but was delirious and knew ma not woman now i can only call you by lh despicable name of coquette she gazed into my face a moment with an incredulous look as if striving to understand what i bad said then her face grew pale and proud i see she said have been judged without a chance of self defence 8o be it i have no reply to make to your unkind unmerited accusation at the sound of her sweet voice the old madness came back to toe and in that moment i realized that even though i thought hor unworthy i loved her sdli but strong hi my manhood in my abhcrtence of the wrong she had done i crushed back the impulse to speak and soften my cutting

another year had- passed and i laid my heart at her dear feet it was not rejected thus i won nry precious wife poor ilerwins dyiwg words often recur to my mind and whenever i bee a youth faking he
