He went out and Osborn, who felt limp now the strain had slackened, leaned back heavily in his chair and looked at his wife. "The fellow is a working farmer, but he struck just the right note. Well, he has beaten me, and it's easier to be beaten by him than I thought. But he states he's coming back " "Yes," said Mrs. Osborn. "I think he means to ask for Grace." Osborn knitted his brows.

"Suppose we have lunch there," said Maurice.

He made a most perverse and foolish marriage, Farmer Wise, which though only lasting a few years, brought sorrow and trouble and poverty and oppression to his family."
