I will have no heir at all, unless I can discover one whose love for me is sincerely unselfish and far above all considerations of wealth or worldly advantage." "It is rather late in the day, perhaps," said Vesey after a pause, speaking hesitatingly, "but but you might marry?"

Doubtless a bit taken back, certainly so if he had expected to find anything wrong, Captain Vesey took two steps into the room, glanced about him, then wheeled and walked out. "I must be going now," uttered Yearling Judson a moment later. "Call on me again, once in a while, if you need any help in math." "Thank you very much, sir," murmured Cadet Prescott respectfully.
