Thougt he was prepared to disike her, he found himself falling in love with her. And gradually she began to return his love. Sull haunted by the romantic idea of avoiding a marriage for money and of being married by a possible fore tune hunter, he kept his real identity from his sweetheart and pretended to be John Rokesmith, the penniless and down-at-heel secretary of the man who hid inherited his father’s wealtin, But Bella was too much in love with him by this time to care whether he were a prince or a pauper and they became engaged.
