this rereistent refusal, but contented
himself by. tresolutely and inflexibly
adhering to MS determination. There
were some who accused him of luke-

others who put it down • to greed of
wealth and reluctance to incur ex-

early love affair, and of a fair-haired
girl who had pined away on tae shores

from under his light-colored eyelashes,
"the true believers have been good
