He promptly announced the nature of his errand. 'Miss Vivian has 'Sent me to ask if you will sing this witb, her." Frank hesitated; looking at the song, at Mr, South, at Tiny, who from her music-etoot surveyed the sc.elle, and waited the result of her embassy. "Pray do," said Mrs, -Austin. "Espec- ially as I see that MISS Vivian has chosen a song which happens to be a favorite of mine." "All right!" said Frank, and taking It from Mr. South, he went to the piano. He had had his back to Tiny during his talk, and now that he walk- ed toward her it was with a clouded face. He had suddenly recollected that there was no occasion for him to amuse Mrs. Austin. South had been invited on purpose to do that. "I dare say she was wishing for him all the time!" thought Frank, with a bitter throb of jealousy. "Well, I don't care; I'll show her the house to -morrow. It's my house -it's all I have, and I will have that, at any rate 1 And he sha'n't come with us either; the oth- ers can take him round if they like." "Aren't you very grateful?", Bald Tiny, in a whisper, looking up at him with a sunny little face, and arching her delicate brows as if to point the question. "I saw how good you were, and I knew how you must hate it." "Your eyes are very sharp," Frank replied. She nodded. "Oh, but it wasn't only then," she said," setting up the music before her, and flattening the Page with a touch of her soft little brown hand. "I looked at you at dinner time, and I saw you didn't like her. I can always tell whether you like peo- ple or not." "Can you? What do you think if I behave to anybody just as I do to you?" "I shall not answer that question," Said Tiny, firmly. "You seem to have forgotten that we are never to talk about anybody but people in general, and you didn't behave to her just as you do to me, so that has nothing whatever to do with it. Do you know, I think I have the best of it this even- ing. I said I shouldn't like her, and I don't; but he is rather "Rather nice, is he?" "Yes," Tiny answered, "he is. Now, are you ready?" Mee. Austin, listening to her young friend's performance, decided that he had a pleasant voice, sadly in want of a little training. "Do you sing now?" she asked Gilbert South. The "now" marked a remembeance that he sung of old. "Not to -night," he answered hastily; "to -morrow, perhaps." "Dear me! Everything seems to be for to -morrow," said Mrs. Austin, leaning back in her chair and looking down. "I should rather have said that everything had been yesterday," South answered, in a low voice "To -day comes off badly either way," She rejoined, lightly, but with- out raising her eyes. "It generally does, I think." He fancied there was a touch Cf mockery in her tone, but he could not be sure. "Do not say anything against to -day," he said; "I have looked forward to it for a long while." `n poliAthe,mthien you are sure to be disap- "Am I disappointed?" said Gilbert. "That is what I want to know." He turned quickly to the piano, "Thank You; that is a charming song," He Went back to Tinr-Vivian, while Mrs. 'Austin, softly murmuring her thanks, rose and returned to Mrs, Leicester, Who roused herself Yr= a state of drowsy contentment to entertain her. Frank had no further opportunity that evening. Perhaps had one pre- sented itself he Would hardly have taken advantage of it. When the party separated for the night, he lin- gered at the door, and caught a glimpse of Mrs. Austin going up the shallow steps of pOliehed oak, and that raoment taught him that his cild Staircase Was a. fitting background for a, picture.

Prank intittered seanething to tlee effect that South was well enough. "-No, but you don't like them. I did- n't much suppose you Would; but I thought You wouldn't mind for Once.

Frank's. tone as he spoke of his little ruin conveyed contemptuous disgust, as if it were no more than a decayed tooth. Mee. Austin. slowly turned a ring oli hers finger. "I don't know that I'm so Very particular about the size of the ruins," she said; "some people are, I believe. I remember going once to see theremains of a Roman villa with some Molests. I think they expected to find it standing up with a knocker on the door, and they were very much disappointed; in fact, they said ij. was a swindle. I won't say your ruin is a swindle, Mr.Leicester, espe- cially after all your warnings." "You may if you like," said Frank, glabmily. 'I think myself a thing eught to be a decent size. What did you say jest now -that you didn't like 'ern restored?' I don't. Why? Has this been restored? He shook his head. "It's all right then. I only thought that if you would have liked a little more of it, I might have gone over to -morrow adth a hod of mortar and a. barrow - 01 stones and done it up for You. Only then you couldn't have driven there till Saturday." , "Thank you," said Mrs. Austin, smiling; "I think I would rather go to -morrow, and see it as it is." "Well, only you won't expect any- thing, will you?" "No, I won't. Do you always de- preciate Culverdale and everything be- longing to it in this fashion?" The point-blank question, asked in the quietest of tones, was not easy to answer. "I don't know; not particu- larly," said the disingenuous young neen. "It doe § well enough for me, yeti know." "I suspect it would do well enough them nowadays?" said Mrs. Anstin, replied. "That was rather a pretty road I came by from the station this afternoon -you shall not run every- thing down so Urraercifully." Frank colored with pleasure to hear her de- fending Culverdale. He -felt as if she were taking his part against himself. "And, by the way," she went on, "there is one thing I want to see which you do not propose to show Me, apparently." Frank emerged froni the depth of hie despair, "What is that -tell rrie?" "Why," said Mrs. Austin, "I want yeti to show me over your house, 1 editsere you have all tnamier of de- lightful old things stored away here. I caught sight of a lovely old cup - hotted 'at the top of the Stairs, as came down, 'which looked as if it ought to be a perfect Mine of Wealth." "What sort of old things?" Prank inquired, anxiously. "Old chine, do Yen 'than, and picture, and old work --do you care for them?" • "Why, yes; don't we all care for Peon •nowadays " said Mrs. Austin, With something which, though, hardly so much as a smile, was like soft sun- shine while she spoke.

He was not in the breakfast - room when Mre. Austin came down, but, before she had well answered Mrs. Leicester's questions about her night's rest, she heard that he bed been out and about for a couple of hours. "He was here a minute or two ago," said Tiny Vivian, herself a rad- iant, bright-eyed, early riser; "he will be back directly. He only went into the garden." And as the words were uttered Mrs. Austin looked out, and saw Prank emerging from an oPening In the tall yew -hedge which bounded tha view eeli One side, and coming up , the path, with the sunshine glistening on the short waves of his brown hair, and his dog leaping at his lifted hand. If there was a touch of something rus- tic about Frank, it was an unmixed charm just then, as he opened the glass door and stepped in, fresh as tf he had been steeped to the heart ne the air and sunshine of "the country green." He brought a breath of the sweet morning with him, telling hdw he had brushed through leafy ways and looked across his level meadowe before his guests were ready to lift their tired heads from their pillows. He had gone to bed with a heavk• heart, but he came forward now, hap- py and hopetul in spite of himself, and prodigiously hungry. Breakfast over, Mrs, Leicester ex- cused herself on tbe plea of orders to give to the housekeeper. "That means and hour's gossip," said Frank to a family portrait. "It means your dinner, you un- grateful boy!" Mrs. Leicester replied, as she opened the door. There was a brief silence after bar departure. The four who remained, and whose duty it was to amuse anti to be amused, seemed a little uncertain how to set about it. Tiny was the first to make an effort. A suggestive remark, aimed at Mr. South, brought him to her side where she Stood at the window; a dialogue on gardens followed as naturally as possible, and in less than five minutes the pair were setting out to study the example which lay before them, basking in the yellow September sunshine. Mrs. Austin, meanwhile, was glancing over the Times, and young Leicester, as he leaned against the chimney -piece, pen- ciled figures on thl back of an envel- ope, and added or subtracted in a curiously haphazard fashion. He never once looked at Mr. South and Tiny, and Tiny was apparently unconscious that Mrs. Austin and he were alive. When the couple were fairly gone, and the sound of their footsteps and voices had died away, Prank drew a long breath, glanced at his bit of paper as if ho did not think much of arith- metic in general, tore it across, and stood waiting his companion's plea, sure and reflecting on the adva,ntagea of early rising. While Mrs. Austin was yet half asleep Prank and Tiny had held a con- sultatiOn on the lawn, under thetulip treee. Starting from the ascertained fact of his dislike to the strangers, It struck Tiny as very nice of him to say that he would show Mrs. Austin round the house after breakfast. But, knowing that even Frank was mortal, she was not surprised that he set a limit to his self-sacrifice. "Look here, Tiny, I can't stand both of them," ea had said. "You'll have to take your friend South away somewhere. You like ,him best, you say -well, 1 don't. Besides, I expect 1 shall have enough of him to -morrow. Take him round the grounds, can't you?"

One of the most eeadly and one of which very little is known, is that of the workers in champagne cellars. The work, which is light, and without any obvious elements of risk to health, consists of turning over the bottles of champagne so that the wine may be clear and transparent and ab- solutely free from sediment. The men who do this work epend eight Or ten hors a day in the dark wine cellars turning over bottles by the thouaand, This monotonous duty they discharge day after day In semadarleness, in a high temperature, unhealthy atmos- phere, and absolute solitude.

It is well known that shopkeepers make pounds by ignoring farthings or by giving soilletiling for them that is 'worth far less than a farthing, but where shopkeepers make the pounds, banks and the English Government make their hundreds of pounds. If a farthing is due from you in taxes you are charged onepence. On the other hand, you are never paid onepence for a farthing. The. same principle is applied to fractions of pounds. Banks in reckon- ing interest for themselves call any part of £1 a full pound, whereas in reckoning interest for yotfr odd shil- lings are left out of account. Thus for a deposit of 290 Os. 11d. you would receive intereot on 299 only. It is amazing how the state -profits by not paying fractions of pence.

As on the day of martian, a cake of wheaten flour was preseeted to the husband and wife, but Instead of sharing it between them they rejected it.

It is well known that shopkeepers make pounds by ignoring farthings or by giving soilletiling for them that is 'worth far less than a farthing, but where shopkeepers make the pounds, banks and the English Government make their hundreds of pounds. If a farthing is due from you in taxes you are charged onepence. On the other hand, you are never paid onepence for a farthing. The. same principle is applied to fractions of pounds. Banks in reckon- ing interest for themselves call any part of £1 a full pound, whereas in reckoning interest for yotfr odd shil- lings are left out of account. Thus for a deposit of 290 Os. 11d. you would receive intereot on 299 only. It is amazing how the state -profits by not paying fractions of pence.
