She had been a "planner" from her

an expression of raingled fondness and

Young Marlowe admired her excessive

was handsome, amiable and true heart-

Frances put it. ,
Bat the es- -gaing faller only smiled
and said : The girl doesn't need to
marry brains, she has enough for one
family,"
What 5 delightful sort of egotism it is
when we can celebrate ourselves" in
our children ! James, however, was very
slow in serewing his courage to the ask-
ing place. He had not that extremely
selfish feeling expressed in the: song
"Ever to woo and never to wed, is the
merriest life that', ever was led," but he
was rather aba,slind in the presence of
the splendid girl, who was so much

The very next night, as they returned
from a walk in. the soft splendor of a

backwarcl lover in, as was her wont,
she turned her calm face toward.. him,
and said. quietly
" James, I am afraid, 1 shall have to

expressed it, as though a pitcher of cold
