"Live and learn;" said Sigrid, ughingly holding out to him the asket of beautiful flowers—red, white, crimson, yellow, russet,and ill every variety. "1 should like to eeemta to Xing's Cress toe," said Sigrid, "But per- haps it is better that I should stay here and get things quite ready. I hope Swanhild will turn np all right. She seems such a little thing to travel all that way alone." When he had set off,she began with great satisfaction to lay the table for tea. She put everything tidy in the bare little kitchen, where, in truth, there was not one unnecessary piece of furniture. At last she heard the door hii,ndle turned, and Frithiof's voice. "You'll fbi.d her quite a domesti sated chaiacter," he was saying; and in another minute S.wanhild was in her arms, none. the worse for her lonely pourney, but very glad to feel her cares at an end. "Oh, Sigrid 1" she cried, with child -like glee; "what a dear, fun- ny little room! And how cozy you have made it !

"There was. an old lady who gave me two sand' riches, but they were sa dreadfully full of fat." "_What do you think of your new bedroom?" Frithiof asked. "It's lovely!" cried Swanhild, ""What a funny, round bath, and such a tiny washing -stand, just like the one in the old doll's house on three legs.

"As for rine," ' said Frithiof, sue- denly appearing at the kitchen (leer; in his shirt sleeves, "1 am shoe- blaek tQ the eskaablishnent, "Youl eh Frithiof ;" cried Swan- hiid), utartled into gravity.

There, put the elninanr in the sitting- room, Swanhild, on the corner Shelves, and then we will come an unpack." By nine o'clock everything was arranged, and they came back to the sitting -room, whore Frithof had lighted the pretty, little lamp, and was writing to Herr "Siverstea to say he would be glad of more work, "Come," said Sigrid, "the even- ing won't bo complete without some music, and, I ern; dying to try that piano. What shallbe the firat thing we ploy in our .new home, Swan- hild?" " 'For Norge,' " said the little girl promptly. "Do you know wo had quite a dis- cussion about that at Bowan Tree Rouse the other night," said Sig- rid, "They were all under the im- pression that it was an English air, und only know it as a, glee called 'The Hardy Norseman.' Mr. Boni- face calls Frithiof his Hardy Norse- man because he got well so quick - "Come and sing, Frithiof, do come," pleaded Swanhild, slipping her hand caressingly into his and drawing ehim toward the piano. And willingly enough he consented, and in their new home in this foreign land, they sung together the stir- ring Norway national song. ciety side. The Boni£aoes reverse the order and keep their beautiful side for home and .a rather shy side for society, but still they, like all the English people I have met,'havo distinctly two . manners. In Nor- way there is nothing of that. 1' think perhaps we think less about the impression we are making; and I think Norwegians more naturally reepeet each other." Swanhild prospered well on than first Saturday afternoon, and Mme. Leehertier was quite satisfied with her little idea as to the Norwegian eostiones.. They had only just re- turned and taken off their walking things when there came a loud kneek, at the door. Swanhild still in her Hardanger dress ran to see what was wanted, and could hardly help laughing at the funny -looking old man who inquired whether Fri- thjof were in. "Still out, you say,"'he, panted; very provoking, 'I speeially want- ed to seehim on a matter of ur^ gency." "Will you not come in and wait raid the child, "Frithiof will soon lie home.''

Lechertier one ,arttuann afternoon, when Sigrid at the usual time en- tered the big, bare room where the classes were held. "You think she will really be of use to you,'madame " asked Sig- rid. "If she is no good we 'should not of course like her to take any money." "Yes, yes," said Mme. Lecher tier. "You are independent and proud, I know it well enough. But 1 assure you, Swanhild will be a first-rate little teacher, and I am delighted to have her. There is no longer any need for her to come to me every morning, for I have taught her all that she will at pre- sent need, and no doubt you are in a hurry for her to go on with her ordinary schooling." "I have arranged forhex to go to a -high school, in the mornings, after Christmas," said Sigrid, "and she must, 'till then, work well i at her English or she will not take a good place. It will be a very busy life :for her, but then we are all of us strong and able to get through a good deal." "And hework-with me is purply physical and will not overtask her, said madame.
