"Yes; I can see that. Uncle Jen, and it is for that reason I want to marry Isabella, and take her away before her mind is degraded further by that old fury." Not a word was spoken till the door opened again, and Griffin with Doris Leighton and Miss Green came quickly in. "Don't gather them all to-night, Mrs. Molly," said Dr. John teasingly, as he stooped beside me. "Leave a few for—for the others."

"Precisely the case with Isabella," said the doctor, nodding. "Come, major, I won't worry you any longer with inquiries.

Isabella is absolutely ignorant of what she did, and firmly believed that I was the guilty person. Now, of course, she thinks David--by his own confession--is the assassin.".
