Helen below heard his footsteps cease. and ( fell oasleep herself. At nine o’clock he was 'slorping still, when she set forth with a beating heart on her mission. She knew thc olllce of Messrs. Batterick Bnhlmnsn well, through George’s fre- quent descriptions, that she knew the way right through into Mr. Baldwin’s privnt: room. She passed. unchallenged and with- out hesitatien, through the three rooms. The clerks looked up from their work for a moment at the strange nppmitinn of a young lady to the office, but the young lady did not belong to then), and they went on with their writing.

Also George showea, when once he was alive to the situation, unusual agitation and excitement. The end at hand ! It Wnsfto much to hope for ; it was a thing of which he had never dared in his heart to look forward to.
