It could not be posslblo that George was dlscu3sln Iler , and with a IJerfect stranger , too ! The thing was preposterous - terous ! She could not go In , but she would never condescend to ea.vesdrop- pIng. Cortalnly not ! But where was : :1ho to go ? There was no place but the seat opposite the office door , and the conversation would reach her there.VeIl , she would close her ears and not pay any attention. Animated by this most exccllent resolution she toolc her seatbut again she heard the strange volco rppeatlng her name oven 10udE'r than before. "What will ,1\Ilss J rllino say to the whole story , eh ? " the spealter demand. , cd. Thereupon the lady referred to threw all scruples to the wind. She would scarcely have been human not to have listened. She was to be his wife In a week , and they should have' ' no secrets. "I can't help U , and I'll thanlc you not to Introlluce Miss Jardine's nlme : Into the discussion. I was p. fool not to tell her all about It. After all , there was nothing to tell , " came the reply , In the tones she knew so well. "Oh , wasn't there ? How about these beautiful letters you wrote to my Sal- c.ll flowers and perfumes , and setting suns and rising moons , nnd such.lIlto rot-was that nothing , eh ? " "I admit that I was a 1001. Fortunately - ately , however , I had my awalwnlng soon cnough. Your llaughter threw mo over when someone else came on the scene , " said George. "Sho wrote you telling you of her undyIng love before you cut to England - land , " replied the other slyly , and with an apparent chuclde In bls volco. "Yes , after my uncle had died and left me his fortune and business. I thlnlc Miss Sarah realized then that . she had been a bit .too previous. ' " "All her letters to you are lovIng enough any way , I'll bet. Sal Imows her boolt. It's no use putting things on paper-say them , that's my way , " said the stranger truculently. "I suppose that's wby 'ou're bero to.day. " "Right 'ou are , my cockle. " . "Well , since Ylu have taleen the I trouble to como all the way from the I backwoods of AustraUa to see me , I ' suppose you want something. 'What Is It ? " said George. "No\v , that's business ! WeU , I hear as how ) 'ou've come Into a very tidy fortune bere , and by rights Sal should be sharing It , and I , as the poor old 'father getting on In ) 'ears , would be ltept In comfort and plenty for the rest of my life.

There was no doubt that he"as desperately In love tbls tlmo , but the thought of these letters to Sally Jarvis , the daughter of the Wool- abor ; ; storel\Ceper , made 111m go hot all over. "I tell you again not to mention 1\1lss Jardine's name-she has nothing to do with this , " he said angrlly. "Oil , hasn't she ? She soon . , . , ' 111 have , I fancy !
