This ■ together with the Interest felt In her , family, led her, before she had , many weeks an inmate of his j house, to make a discovery. , Nathan, In hb desire to get on In the , world was missing much that would | have made Ufo pleasant.

Martha shrank from interfering with the hablta of her brotbet's family ; but, ahead, ahc saw nothing but sor- : and disappointment, and felt that something mutt be done to save them. , Watching for an opportunity to talk , alone with Nathan, she gladly accepted hb Invitation one morning, to ride with f They were riding rapidly over the , prairie road when Martha broke - the till nee. , "It b truly exhUarating 10 ride In Ihb j trancing air, over these flee roads, rs- r pecially with so nice a rig, at you call ] It.
