“I presume the young man is unmar-

a spark of some quite new ly born inter
est seemed to illumine her usually chilly
gray eyes.
“Of course Conrad is unmarried,”
confirmed the baron in some astonish
ment
“And the Kestler’s name lias a good
sound, and the fortune is considerable.”
Miss Wilkins was warming to her sub
ject as she spoke. “Oh, Baron Dornen
burg, I do believe that letter from year
old friend is nothing but an interposi
tion of Providence! Why, don’t you see
as clearly as possible that this means a
husband for one of your daughters?”
“Hold, there, ” said the baron gruffly,
flushing dark red from vexation. “If

letting the wolf into the sheepfold. ”
“Very possibly tho wolf is not so
black as he is painted,” Miss Wilkins
cautiously suggested.
“He is blacker, at any rate, far than
ho ought to be, and it will require both

tho empty headed lovemaking with

“And Elsbeth?”
“Let the child liavo a holiday. It

Miss Wilkins shook her head, but so
