you half as well as I do; and If be does not why sacrifice me, and perhaps my life: t-:> him?' · f

' H enry for pity's sake, thmk o some other way. Why this viole':lt haste to get rich ? Have a little pnttence. Mr. Rnby will not always be abroa~i. Oh. pray give up Mr. Bolt, and go qUletlydon 1\t eace with these dreadful Tra es· YoJ know I 'll .wait all my life t~r. you. I will implore papa to let. you vtstt .me oftener. I will do all a f~tthful lovmg girl can do to comfort you. .

'Ay.' said Henry, bitterl¥, ' lou. ~v11l do anything but the one tbmg ask.h

' yes anything but defy my fat er. He is ' rather and mother both to m~. How unfortunate we both are I If you knew what it costs me to deny yvu ncr thing, if you knew how I l?ng to o­low you round the world--

She choked with emotion, and seemed on the point of yielding, after all.

But be said bitterly, 'You long to fo!· low me round the world, and. you won t go a twelve-days' voyage wtth me to save my life. Ah, it 1s always so. You don't love me as poor Jael Den.ce loves me. She enved my life wi~hout my ~k­ing her. but you won' t do 1t when I 1m· plore yo~.' . .

' Henrv my own darhog, lf any woman on earth ioves you better than I do,, for God'£4 sake marry be~. and let ~e dte to prove I loved you a httle b.etter . .

. Very well said be grindmg hls ~eeth. , Next week I leave this place wtth a wife- I give you the first offer, because l lo~e vou. 1 shall give Jael the second becaus~ she loves me.'

So then be flung out of the room, and left Grace Carden half fainting on the sofa and drowned in tears. B~t before he got back to the ~orks he

repented his violence, and Ins heart earned for her more than ~ver: .

Y With that fbe sense of JUt!ttce whtch helongs to love, he spoke roughly to Jael Dence. . h ' b t

.~he started. and satd not m~. u watched him furtively, and saw bts eyes fill with tears at the picture memory .re~ called of Gtnce's pale face and streammg eyes. t' d

She put a few ehrewd ques Jons, an his heart was so full he could ~ot con­cen! the main facts, tbougb he sqppress­ed all that bore reference to J ael b~rself. ShE~ took Grace'tl part. and told btm he

was all in the wrong; whY. cou~d be not go to America alone, and sell bts patents and then come back and marry Grace with the money? 'What drag her across the water. to make her quarrel with her father. , • Why, indeed?' said Henry I because I'ru not the man I W&A. I have no man­hood .left. I have not the c.ourage to fight the '1:11lde&, nor yet the ~oarage t.o leave the'girl [love so dearly.

, Eh poor lad • said J ael, ' Thou hast courag~ enouab ;' but it has been too sore tried, first. and last. You l:aave goo~ through enough to break a man of ateel.

She advised him to go and make hia suomisslon at once. .

He told ·her 1he was h18 auardlan ang~l, and kiaeed her\ in t~e warmth of hie patitucle • and ne went back to W oodblne vnia: and uked Grace's for·
