So the intriguing Jessie was winning her child's affections as well as her husbands. She decided that she would not allow tbe child to go to her father again. She spent a miserable night When the summons came for Lillian again the next morning, Edna, who loved her child passionately, had not tbe heart to refuse Lillians pleading.

"Yes," he replied, gravely, "and he Raid to assure you he would occupy ray apartments They are Just opposite his. She scarcely heard him. A sudden flash had come to her troubled mind. "Dr. Brandon, she exclaimed, "Isn't your first name Jesse? Why, yes, he replied In surprise. "And were you up the river with Walter and Lillian yesterday? "Yes: the child asked me what my name was, and I told her 'Jesse,' and she proceeded to call me that to my de'lght nnd her father's distress." He wondered at the radiant face up lifted. As they came Into Walter's apartments she heard a door In the next room close, and knew that he had left because of her arrival Lillian gave a little pleased cry at the sight of her mother and friend.
