Though. l regarding it as an unwise "giving way," l the sought to disguise her feeling on tlyc‘ point, the fact was tltut during: thin week the pretty little wait, so strangely out upon her care, had greatly endeared itsall to her as well as to the soft-hearted husband. whose more practical half she was wont to consider herself. Moreover the feeling of personal euduarment was materially strengthened by the circumstance that her own child and the little stranger had “taken to"ench other with remarkable atteetiun,and were in their infantile way inseparable friends. Of the exact state of herfeolingm, her lmshnml, however, wax not aware, and he was therefor surprised as well as rejoiced. when on cutlnuslyl breaching the idea of adopting the child 3.. l their own, he found that her opp usltion to it wad by no means either so formidnhle or so omputioallrsvprssssec1 us from her tone ho had expected it to, be.
