Poussette has offered me the new church at St. Ignace. I took this long walk out here to-day to think it over. I well, frankly, I hardly know what to say." "In your profession you are not supposed to consult your own wishes, but rather the general good. Is not that the case?" Ringfield smiled, but also shot a look at his companion.

They faced each other and Ringfield was not the cooler nor the saner of the two. "Pauline! Miss Clairville! What can she be to you?
She started, stared at him, faltered, and might have spoken but for the impassive and nonchalant air with which he faced her. As for Ringfield, a great anger and distress filled his mind. What spasm of reform had animated this fallen, worthless creature to create an impression which could not, in the nature of things, lead to systematic rehabilitation?
"But how come home? Come at this place again? Bigosh but that will not do, Mr. Ringfield at all, sir! Beeg fuss, sure my wife come at this place so soon after leave nurse Henry Clairville!

Had the relations between Poussette and Miss Cordova so quickly progressed and of what nature were they? The eye of the Frenchman gave a comprehensive wink. "It is all right, Mr.
