for his departure. Johu waa away most of
the day looking after *woe business affairs,
and Louise went over to the stove to make
some trifling puschass.
Left Lbw alone, poor Mary had plenty of
tie to think over her situation. aid natur-
ally her mind reverted to the post to the
long line of sufferings that hail fallen to the
lot of herself awl bred one,. and from that
to her childhood home and her father. Us-
able longer to bold her feelings to check, the
port woman bud her beset down ou the
table where she rat, nod gave way to her
grief. Long the tears of bitter anguish
Reefed, while her (tail form shook with
heart rending sobs.

Through all her sufferings and through

her hours .f sorrow, when the days were
darkest and her heart barest, she looked

uv.l the well remembered features, recalling
t he times when he bad taken her on his

her with n father's fondest affection.
••.%h. father, father," she cried, in deepest
anguish. "little did 1 ever think then that

that so often kissed mine could be s cruel
of speech. Little did 1 dream that von
could steel your heart against me and make

For a long tar Mary Q em at then
gazing on the }}acture rhe held in her
hand, her roved batty with bowie" of the
put and present. She lived over again
all the old happy days when she was at
home with her father, and as she re-
called his tender etpr.esiona of love a
faint shadow of • smile larked about her
+urn and wasted features. Bat even that
shadow was fleeting, for the remembrance
of the prevent brought • elood to drive it
away, and the old sorrow that preyed on
her soul came back to her in all ile terrible-
ness.
