so. Not that he was a condoned tip

man in tbe town except Anneke's fa- I
ther Nicholas had often applied to
the old man for his daughter, always
to receive tbe same reply
"Vas my dacbter to marry a man
that spends his nights trinkin? You .

he knew to collect his faculties. Had
St. Nicholas been around changing -

nothing for him to do but kn.sk for i
