God grant that my child may meet this trouble as you predict," said Mr. Verne, as he tried to swallow the food which had been so temptingly prepared by the ministering angel who now strove to make smooth the hard, rough pathway over which he now daily trod. It was Mrs. Montgomery's hard, strong hand, that penned the lines conveying the news to Marguerite.
A clear, steady light shone in the intellectual gray eyes, and a noble resolve was written in relief upon the generous face. "Mrs. Verne, I have something further to say."

But this was not the kind of news that Hubert Tracy sought. He wished to draw out some well-timed allusion to the northwest and he had not the courage to do so.
