60 TIM, THE SCOUT. was his true name, looked at it a moment, and gave it back, : “Why did you come here yesterday ?” “JT wish to speak of that. Not Jong ago, I saw your daughter and loved her, I love her now, and wish to make. her my wife.” | “You !” The utter loathing expressed i in that single word can not be described. Wilson quailed before it. 7 “You!” repeated Walter Rashleigh. ‘You marry my daughter! As there is a God in heayen, James Wilson, I would sooner kill her with my own hand than see her incur such a miserable future as that!” . “Very well,” said Wilson, pale with anger. “I shall re- member that insult, Walter Rashleigh ; be sure I shall not forget it. I am not good enough for your daughter; we shall see how you will become a felon’s dock.” “You will never see that day, James. . 1 shall not live to return to Canada,” “You shall, if I take you with my own hands.” The unhappy father quailed before this threat. “ Spare me,” said Rashleighy “I did not know what I was saying.. My child is at liberty to choose. If she likes you, I would not oppose her choice ; but, by heaven, I would rather ‘see her in her grave. I il gat it,” “¢ Let the galled jade wince,’ ” muttered the Englishman, “So you give me liberty to address your daughter as a suitor ?” | “ No, I will not.” “Then you haye to pay a visit to the pleasant city of Mon- treal, and explain a little occurrence on the night of the 24th of Auril, ten years ago, on Notre Dame street. Would you like to do it ?” “Stay. Give me time to draw my breath. You shall have the permission you ask, Yon may speak of love to Lizzie. It will be useless; she loves some one else.” ~ ..“I know that, but I have the old confidence in my own powers, Walter. I shall do well enough. Pish, don’t let that- trouble you. I hope no Yankee booby can get ahead of James Wilson in @ love affair.” rs comicloooks.ceomhn
