off much more p,l.wantly than .he had an

cheerfulert view of the future, and rime -
times he went off inn the wildest flights of

extravagant, hut dreaming these was !utter
than repining.

erelong for himself and Louise. so he
hesitated to raise rnoneT in that way.
Ilii Markham had money, bot he was
opposed to Pad's plana, arra be refused to
let him bare a dollar on any kind of terns.
