He had been so much in the habit of dmymud. ing absolutely upon Dora, that his first thought was that she might assist him now. But he had taken a very awkwardly moral view of the situation, and had not behaved at all woll, so far as he was concerned. In that diffenit in. terview with Josiah Lagder., Mr. Clement Frith might have lied his way very well out of it all, huf for the startling nut altogether unnecessary honesty of Doru.

"It's very inconsiderato," outtered Mr. Clement Frith petulantly. After all I've done for my family, and the sacrifices I have made for them and the dungers into which I have not hesitated to fling myself on their account-after all this, it's monstrous that I should be treated in this fashion. It's tho way of the world," he added bitterly they senttic when the danger comes?**
