Alan sat down in one of the stiff backed, split bottom chairs and stared straight in front of him. Never In his life had he suffered as he was now suffering. lie could see no hope ahead; the girl he loved was lost to him. Her father had heard of the foolhardiness of o'd man Bishop and, like many another well meaning parent had determined to save his daughter from the folly of marrying a penniless man who had doubtless Inherited bis fathers lack of judgment and caution. There was a rap on the closed door, and Immediately afterward Itayburn Miller turned the knob and came In.

Captain Barclay Is a rough, outspoken man, and he made a remark the other day which reached me. I wasnt sure It was true, so I didnt mention It; but I reckon my informant knew wlmt he was talking about ' Alan nodded despondently. I asked her to go to church with me tomorrow night She was awfully embarrassed and finally told me of her father's objections. I think I know what fired the old : devil up, said Miller.

Finally the man is forced to go about his work, and the woman gets to making things to go ou the to spread backs of chairs her trousseau over the next year, and they begin to court resignation. Now, if they had not had the glamour attack they would have got down to business sooner, thats all, and they would have set a better example to other plungers.
