And so it was arranged that Jack and Lady Ruthven should meet the boat and bring Barney, with all speed, to Ruthven Hall. At the Silurian's gangway Jack received his friend with outstretched hands, crying, "Barney, old boy, we're glad to see you! Here, let me present you to Lady Ruthven, at whose house Iola is staying."
"To be," continued Iola, "the leader of a race to higher planes of thought and action, to teach men clearer views of life and duty, and to inspire their souls with loftier aims, is a far greater privilege than it is to open the gates of material prosperity and fill every home with sensuous enjoyment." "And I," said Mrs.
One day she said to him, "I see no other way of finishing the education of these children than by sending them to some Northern school." "I have come," said Leroy, "to the same conclusion. We had better take Iola and Harry North and make arrangements for them to spend several years in being educated.
Now, all that is needed to complete my happiness is her presence, and my brother's. And I intend, if I live long enough, to see them both." Iola wrote Robert that her mother remembered the incident of the handkerchief, and was anxious to see them. In the early fall Robert started for the South in order to clear up all doubts with respect to their relationship.

You don't know what love means! Love him! And for your paltry, selfish ambition you send from you a man whose shoes you are not worthy to tie!" "Oh, Margaret!" cried Iola piteously.
