The clergyman recalled, too, that Harvey had impressed him as a character.

"That's what I was going to ask you." "Only a slight difficulty that you will help to put right." Semple stared with astonishment. The bottom had apparently fallen out of the works, but Clark was as cool as ever. "Help?" he demanded, puzzled. Clark evidently did not stand to lose much in the smash.

"To tell the truth," he said, "I'm depending on salvation by reason of a fairly good heart, and an eagerness to wrong no man, gentle or semple.

"I don't expect ever to be married, Will," he said after a pause, with one of his far-away looks, and his chin up, showing that what he had said was an indisputable fact. "The Dickens!" said Will stopping in his walk and holding up Michael. "She hasn't refused you, has she?" "Refused me? Who? What do you mean?" asked Michael looking puzzled. "Why, Hester Miss Semple.
