That mother's wishes were always paramount to her own, she was Willing. to submit to almost any fievional sacrifice for her sake. True it cost her a struggle to decide on this course, for 'siie was 'as proud in her way as 1\111:Dutton was in hers, but her resolution, once form- ed, was all the more, stable on this point. It was Mrs. Dutton's custom to in- vite a few select friends ete spend, a couple of months at her .house every summer. This she did because society was as necessary to her as the air she ' larothed-,-and-beeauselehe could net-af, ford the expense of a sojourn at any of the fashionable watering places.

Yet he was not a bad manin any respect—only a vain and silly One, whose shallow na- ture had been easily spoiled by wealth and flattery. Captain Charles Losing, OA the other hand, was a true -hearted, sensible man, not particularly handsome, but poseeseing gentlemanly figure and a fine head.
