daughter, and Mattie and Poppie growing away at their own history. One evening, when Tom was seated with his mother, who had again recovered so far as to resume her place on the couch, his father came into the room. Tom rose. His father, without any greeting, said : Keep a look-out on that Stopper, Tom. Don't let him have too much of his own way." "But I have no authority over him, father." "Then the sooner you marry and take the business into your own hands the better." "I'm going to be married next week." "That's right. Make Stopper junior partner, and don't give him too large a share. Come to me to draw up the articles for you." "Thank you, father. I will. I believe Mrs. Boxall does mean to make the business over to me.' "" "Of course. Good-night," returned Mr. Worboise, and left the room without speaking to his wife. From that time Tom and his father met much as before their quarrel. Tom returned to the house for the week before his marriage, and his father made him a present of an outfit for the occasion. Oh, Tom! I can hardly believe it," said Lucy, when they came home from church. 66 I don't deserve it," was all Tom's answer in words. After their wedding-journey they went back to the old house in Guild Court, in which they had had one or two more rooms fitted up. Their grandmother, however, is now urging them to move to some suburb, saying she is quite willing to go with them. "And I don't believe you will have any objection either-will you, old Widdles ?" she generally adds. THE END.
