Janet Dalrymple was one of Nature's geetle-women, and many, nay all, loved her, though there were mom* who grudg- ed her her beauty, and her pure, lovely and loveable soul. Memo Lesdbetter, who had parsed from frivolous, empty, alai youth into ser and disappoint- ed middle -sage, looked at Janet with a kind of renewed wonder. She knew fora fact that she would be thirty in October, ad yet she was bound to admit that she was as fair as she had been at twenty. Nay, fairer, for there was an added sweetness and an sod c 1 exquisite woman - linens in her whole bearing witch Father Time had given with one kindly hand, while with the other he had stolen away the years These graces came of Janet's useful and unselfish life, which the grim sad narrow s,oineter could not under- stand.

The young surgeon eaaaed his rhapso- dies, .red proceeded to attend to his patient's wants. The Laird persistently watched the door the whole evening, but his eyes were never gladdened by the vision foe which they longed. At last, when the dusk had fallen, and the house keeper sat quietly knitting by his bed- side, he pat his questioning auto words.

Archibald Lundie bit his lips, sod turned his face to the wall. It was !tat like Janet—proud, determined, tlooeci- oatmeal to the last, m spite of all her sweet unselfishness. Fur half an hour he spoke no mere, and then there was the noise of au arrival, and in • few minutes the sick -room dour was opened, and an anxious mother ran in and fell upon her knees beside the bed. •'My son, my darling son. 1 am so thankful I bare got to you at Iasi.

Tltbougb it was passing sweet to her thus to be taken, she struggled to be free, and at last, bolding herself aloof, raised ber sweet, large eyes to his face.

Aunt Jean was the wife of • bard- wurked surgeon in the manufacturing town of Hazelrigg, and was as busy among her eight boys and girls m her husband was among Lu numerous p.- tients. It was a jolly, happy household, where the stir and din never ceased from morning till night. More than once Janet Dalrymple had found it • blessed relief from the quiet of Hallyarda. Aunt Jean asked no questions when she arrived that August evening without any warning, bat 'ave her the warm, motherly welcome which never failed. As for the eight, they went wild over Cousin Janet, who ouuld tell such lovely stories, and who was never too tired or too much occupied to share their romps, though she was "quite grown up.
