He was wondering if Deb- orah had ever heard her master drop any hint as to his having come from the place where Mrs. Krill resided and Asked the question on the spur of the moment.

Then ho directed the envelopes, and, Syleta sealed them up. All the time, they laughed and chatted and despite the dull toil thor- oughly enjoyed tbemselves. "But I am glad to sae, Sylvia," said Beecot, pointing to three library volumes ly- ing on the septa,, "that you enjoy your- self occasionally:' "Oh," said Sylvia, pouncing on these, "I'm so glad you spoke, Paull I want- ed to say something to you. 'Tlie Con- fessions of a Thug,' she read out and looked at Paul. "Have you read it?" Beecot nodded. "By Colonel Mead- ows Taylor. A very interesting book, but rather a bloodthirsty one for you, dearest." "Debby got it" confessed Miss Nor- man, "along with some other books, from a literary customer who could not pay his bill. It is very strange, Paul, that 'The Confessions of a Thug' should be among the books." "Really, I don't see why," smiled Beecot, fingering the old fashioned volumes. "It's the finger of fate, Paul," said Sylvia seiemnly. Then, seeing her lov- er look puzzled, "I mean that I should find. out what goor is:' "Goer?" Paul looked more puzzled than ever. "Ws an Indian word," explained i6yl- via, "and means coarse sugar. The thugs eat It before they, strangle any one." "Oh," laughed Beecot, "and you think your father was strangled by a thug? My dear child, the thugs were stamped out years ago. You'll read all about it in the preface of that book, if I remember, but it's Iong since I read the work. Besides, daring," he added, drawing her to him caressingly, "the thugsE never came to ngland." "Pant, said Sylvia, still more solemn- ly and resenting the laugh, "do you re- member the thug that came tato the shop"— "Oh. you mean the street hawker that "rather incoherently, "for my sister, Til- +iy Junk, worked for some one in that There place for years.

Me an' Willy, not bean' of 'appy matchin', don't Lcorrespond. We're Londing both," ex- ;elaimed Deborah, "father 'avin' bin a ''awker, but why she went to the conn - try or why I stopped in Gwynne street no one knows. And may I arsk, Mr. Beecot, why you arsk of that place?" "Your late master came from Christ- ;church, hrist;church, Mrs. Tawsey. Did you never 'hear him mention it?"

"Do yon think we ebodld accept the five hundred a year, Paul?" said, Sylvia doubtfully, "It would put everything right, and so long as I am with you I don't care where we live." "If you leave the decision to me, darling," said Paul, "I think it will be best to refuse this oiler. Something is wrong, or Mrs. Krill would. not ;ie so anxloiui to get you out of the cc. n- tty." "Oh, Paul, do you think she knows anything about the inurder?" "Nodear. I don't think that. Mrs. Krill Is far too clever a woman to put her neck in danger. But there may be a chance of her daughter losing the money. Sylvia," he asked, "you saw Maud Brill, How old would you take her to be?" "Oli, quite old, Paul," said Sylvia decisively; "she dresses well and paints her face, but hbe's forty." "Oh, Sylvia, not so much as that." "Well, then, thirty and over," insist- ed Sylvia. "Debby thinks the same as 1 do." "Doh't you think Debby's zeal may lead her to exaggerate?" "It doesn't lead me to exaggerate,". said Sylvia, slightly offended, "and I have eyes in my head as well as Deb- by. That girl, or that woman, I should say, is over thirty, Paul." - "In that ease," said Beecot, his color rising, "I fancy I gee the reason of Mrs. Krill's desire to get you oat of the country. Maud," he added deliber- ately, "may not be your father's daugh- ter, after all." "What makes you think that?" "Well, according to the marriage cer- tificate and to Mre. Krill's admission, she was married to your father thirty years ago. If Maud le over thirty— can't you see, Sylvia?" "Yes." Sylvia colored. "You mean she may be the same as I am?" "Not exactly, dear," replied Paul, soothing her. "I mean that Mrs. Krill may have been a widow and have had her little girl with her when she mar- ried your father. In that case Maud certainly could not get the money, and so Mrs. Krill wants you to leave Ease land?' (To be Continued.) • Weak Women . To weak and ailin wome'hrtlwre is at leant Dae, war to help.

Ii yon want to get the worth of the bargeil in life, cultivate glad- ness. The one who mopes doesn't enjoy herself and surely no one enjoys h* Anyone can be glad when things go her way ; to be glad when the maid breaks your beet dinner set, and the frook on wbioh you've broken yourself turns out a fright, shows a disposition that can be counted on to oil life's wheels. There's a lot of gladness going, but many of ne are blind to it. What we want is to take life like a healthy ohild and find enjoyment in simple things. We can cultivate our critical side until it takes the zest from every- thing. What if we haven't an overflowing pooket book, need we' hang down the earners of our month when there is health and the outdoors and love to make for gladutes? Does it corns easier to the black side? Has the misfortune become your state? Forget it and take sing. At first that grin may be a little strained but most of your friends will think it more lovely than your usual hangdog expression. The brand im- proves with practice. Gladness isn't an effort to be glad; it is just being glad. Yon cannot worry yourself into it; neither does it come by stimulation; it does come from taking life easy and enjoying things whether they were meant to bo enjoyed or not. You, Sad One, try for a day to hunt causes for gladness. Instead of summing up your woes and mourning over the total, get in a receptive mood for joys. You'll be surprised at the end of the day to find how many have been the 000asione for smiling. Does your head ache? Sample the laugh cure. Are the children obstreperous? Don't mope over your sorry lot, but charm them with a smile. Does the future seem a coal -blank wall? See what kind of a wedge a clay of cheerfulness can make. Get grateful for your mercies; you may think it takes' a magnifying glass to find them, but the eye is sharp- ened by the looking. Gladness never comes with time to think about your troubles, so get busy. The full life is rarely the sombre life. If you have no other cause for glad• nese, if your friends are not what they should be, it fortune frowns and things generally seem "rank," just be glad you lard alive! =fir 'lmowed," added Deborah, lifting her that?" red finger, "as he'd bin married afore Paul started."Yes, by, Jove, he did!" and intended to cast out my lovely queen I'd ha' strangled him myself." was his reply.
