"Well, you can go no further on

as Mrs. Herbert looked into his cold

was by no means as stromr an element
in his composition as selfishness. Her

who was pastor of her own church at

east upon him at her side, told Mrs.
Herbert with what depth of love this

she almost pardoned her for hcrdisllke

I A few moments more and I was
: fatherless. One of those strong, noble
men lilted me in his arms and bore me
fixmi the room. 1 had heard what my

seven years, I comprehended it all. 1
I threw my arms around the good mail's

"Yes. my dear little girl," he said,
in a broken voice, "you shall never
