"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 ! Why, there's the
picture of Bergen ! and oh, what a
pretty -looking ` tea -tablet I'm.
dreadfully hungry,, Sigrid. I was
afraid to get out of the, train for
fear it should go on. They semi

"You poor child, you must be

She really looks quite thin and
pale, does she not, Frithiof '1"
""She doesn't feel so very bony,"
he said, laughing,
"Oh, and I did eat something,"
explained Swanhild. "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. And oh, Sigrid, auntie
has sent us three lovely eider -down
quilts as a Christmas present, only
she thought 1 might as well bring
now."

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-

music, and, I ern; dying to try that
piano. What shallbe the firat thing

" 'For Norge,' " said the little
girl promptly.
"Do you know wo had quite a dis-

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

the order and keep their beautiful

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^

"My dear, she is charming,
your little Swanhild 1 She is a born
dancer and catches up everything
with the great -est ease," said Mme.
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

Farmers. The 1911 Contest was so successful in awak-
ening interest in the use of Concrete on the farm, that a
second contest, in which three times as many prizes are
5' offered, was decided upon for this year.
{ The Contest this year is divided into three classes, "A,"
"B" and "C," and there will be four prizes in each class. (First
prize, $50; Second prize, $25; Third prize, $15; Fourth prize, $10.)
Thus there are three $50 Prins, -three $25 Prizes, three $1S
prizes, and three $10 Prizes, for each province.
