silo door she stole, into a lane that led
away to the near grove of trees celled "The
Resort," the property of a lady who was
now travelling in Europe.
The house was al old fashioned one and
set far heck in the gloom of the miniature
forest nn the edge of it cliff that overhung
the lake. She often wandered about this
ron(nl1i0 old plane and 11030 3110 Stole past

op, she saw a pleasant faced woman coming
down the baloony steps.
"I ansa 00110111 of \Irs. Raynor's" ex-
plained the stranger. "And have come here
for the rest of the summer."
" I and the sister of Mrs. Syriston, your
nearest neighbor," said Daffodil, going for-
ward to clasp hands.
"My name is Daycer, Mrs. Daycer, the
lady said farther and Daffodil started violent-
ly. " This le his mother," she thought and
n ware 01 color dyed her face. "If I tole
her who I was she would spurn ole from her."
And when she again spoke it was to tell Mrs.

the Melees' Relreet—otherwise the tent

That was the beginning of Aphrodite
'Brown's acquaintance with the " stranger "
in her tea0up.
He was n handsome fellow, his drooping
moustache hiding m sad month, his grave,
solemn
eyes 1 >owtrtttul in their !;loom, his
voice tow and and his manner almost ob-
trusively quiet, so like a death's bend at
the feast was he sometimes, the girls de-
claring that he disconcerted them in their
fun by itis seriousness.
" I don't find him so awfully solemn 3"
Daffodil said, one day to the enquiry,
" Well. is Adonis Brown as 00011511 asever?"
The girls laughed. It was a matter of
connnon eminence for Datl0 •il to defend
her Mr. Brown but this time there was a
little reminiscence 01)011031 011 '1311 last

woman's face so soon after• the tr0gt° cud of

for that much stability of character,"
The girls were all intensely interested.
Daffodil opened her eyes too. Silo thought
of idr. Brown in a now light. A dangerous
light it proved to be since "pity is the
straightest road to a women's love."'
It seemed Mr. t Iloytonluad found out that
1Ir. Brown had been nearly married once.
" And she jilted him! " the girls antici-
pated as soon as he had told them:
"No ! She was killed in some wily or
other tie evening before the wedding,"

that with nluclt more admiration anis his

Daffodil found herself watching hint with

when they were out boating in the morning

then. " It is delightful lloatieg along like

Lisle is the principal ingredient out of

absorb the gas, it is carefully treated and re-
duced to a flue powder. It is sifted, and
beaten shout, and slaked, and the men who
hiLvO to do this work have job which no
one need envy. Imagine working ell day or
all night, as the ease ma • be, in to line mist

tate men wear. In spite of every-
thing, however, the lime gets in some-
where and inflicts its like. A11 the time
the worst is carried out breathing is a terrible
effort, To breathe thorough the nose would
have the direst consequences. A single in-
halation and the lime particles would lodge
there. so the air has to be inhaled through
the (nuzzle and given out through the ease.

gother,cis in grease. To insist upon these

It streams nl, and through the lass we bolt

before the lisle has drunk its fill and be-

strength ; but at length, after the neeemeary
tests, and perhaps a rearrangement of the
surface and another dose of chlorite, things
