"What' e the metter with Davey?"
Farrell asked his daughter a few days
later. "I've asked him to come up here
and have tea with us, but he won't
come. He'll barely speak to me when
we meet, gets out of my way if he
aees me corning,"
Deirdre was kneeling by the hearth
waiting for the kettle to boil. Their
table wes spread with eups and sauc-
ers, and a little pile of toast smoked
beside the teapot. She said nothing,
only bent her head lower to avoid his
glance.
"Have you got anything- to de with
it?" he asked.
The firelight played on her face. For
a moment she thought she would tell
him of the meeting under the trees

"Oh, I hate her I hate her!" Deir-

"What do vou mean?"
The Sehaohnaster's voice was very
quiet.
Deirdre clung to him sobbing. 1
"I didn't inea.n that I hate her real-
ly," she said. "I like her tea. But she's o
the only one who has ever come be-
tween you and me, Dan, and I can't
bear it." . b.

Davey s-waggered. He was cock of

to New South Wales again, and now
there was not a man spent more, nor
was as free with the dice as Davey.
The Schoolmaster heard McNab
talking to Davey in the parlor behind
the bar one evening, filling the boy
-with a flattery that went to his head
faster than the crude spirits he plied
him with.
"The only son of the richest man in

that may be added that the golden
rule—"Do -unto others- as you would '•

which the world cannot carry on.
Absolute honesty may not always be
easy, but tiae right way is often the
harder way. And, although the attrac-

it is a fact that "honesty pays." It
begets trust, giVes confidence, and
brings, lousiness.
Finally, as the years pile up, and we
begin to think and pass judgment on
ourselves, it is not a little thing to be -
able to say, with a touch of pride that
is excusable:
"I have always been honest."

On Making Allowances. -
Mos.t people make allowancea for
hemselves much more readily than
for others. It is not that they are con-
sciously selfaiidulgelit or intentionally
harsh or uncharitable; but in matae,fie
affecting themselves they are in ; s
session of the faets, and. in matters ai-
eating others they are not. When
hey are are making allowances for them-
selves it is because they definitely re-
cognize some weakue a; Or mi.stortune
or unhappy circumstance that seems
to them to warrant indulgence; their
adoption of a InOr 3 severe or critical
attitude toward others whose conduct
