She was young and jeasi'y impressed; and, after all, he be- lieved that her love for Tom was deeper and made of truer stufi than the love he had aroused. In any case it "would be better that she should suffer for a little time rather than have her whole life blighted. So let the syrens sing and the storm imps ', he would peither be seduced nor threatened; he would go away on the morrow.
