Now, what is Judith Rankine doing? Why, just preaching for all she is worth!" Carlotta rose suddenly, and, kneel- ing by Judy's side, -raised her beauti- ful face, all instinct with feeling, to the plain one whom suffering had taught. "You wonderful creature, you have spoken the truest words in the world. The melting pot! That is what ,it is going to be: and since I am honored by being allowed to go into it with you, please heaven, I may contribute something which will be worth while." "You are going to help Alanto wait, and work, and win; said Judy, wist- fully. "I am not sure whether yours is not going to be the biggest bit of all," Carlotta was unable for a moment to speak, for unutterable thoughts were upon her, like an overwhelming. flood. But a great gladness, born of the consciousness of power, was in her soul. Trying to describe that moment to her brother afterwards, Judy, on whose observant eyes; nothing was lost or thrown away, said quite simply: "Something shone in her face like a light from behind or beyond. She is a lovely woman, Alan, and there is something there which is not in ordinary people.

In that country tea was greatly prized, both for its remark- able qualities as a beverage and for the almost religious ceremony attached to the drinking of it. Up to the sixthcentury, tea was used only for medicinal purposes. Even in the seventeenth century it cost $25.00 to $50.00 per pound. All tea caddies were constantly kept under lock and key. Today when even fine quality like " SAiA17A" costs less than one-third of a cent per cup, it is not surprising that the consumption of tea is increasing tremen- dously.

CHAPTER :C.-- (Cont'd,) Afterwards, when she was alone, Carlotta eead it again: "Deur Miss ('at Lyon,—I have had e long t_tllc with my Brother to -day, and it would give me much pleasure if you would come up to Stair to -morrow and lunch with me. "l shall be quite alone, but I want to know you better; indeed, it is quite necessart fur a great many things are happening, and it is better, if possible, to avoid misunderstanding. Yours sincerely, Judith Rankine." Carlotta was pleased, yet a little reluctant, to accept the invitation so sincerely given. She thought about it for over an hour, but, in the end, she dree ed herself in her quietest, least obtrusive garments, and set out to walk to the house in which, for the time being, the whole of her interest in life centred. It was her first visit. Her only pre- vious knowledge of Stair was having seen it from the sea in a boat one erelong with the sunset light upon it,. a. picture she had never forgotten. Carlotta was a /splendid walker, and except t from the sea. Then it looked ked very stately and unapproachable. How beautiful it is!" "I am glad you like it. I was born here, of course, and for Pie there is no other place—at least quite the sante," she added, as if fearing that sh•e had insisted too much. They walked up the terrace steps together, and made pause a moment by the balustrade, their eyes roam- ing across the stretches of the park with its woodland glades, and the shimmer of the lake in the middle dis- tance. When they turned their eyes, the wide spaces of the sea filled them. "It is almost one o'clock," said Judy gently, for she saw by Carlotta's face how moved she was. "Afterwards I will show you Stair, all the house, and the beauty spots close to it. You can stay quite a long time, I hope?" "Yes," answered Carlotta, simply; and the wonder of it grew upon her as she followed Judy into the house. She was in no way overcome, or even impressed by the size and mag- nificence of the stately heritage; she moved in it as to the manner born; and Judy, watching her, was charm- ed by her complete and natural grace, tanoo, who have to 'stand by and look : more interesting every day, and there In' these words Judy expressed, is almost as great variety as for the without knowing it, the poignancy of grown-ups.

Presently they came down to moire mundane things, and when the stream of Judy's intimate talk was stemmed a little, she suggested a ramble through the house. An enthusiastic guide, she had no reason to complain of lukewarmness on the part of her whom she thus chaperoned. It was at once Carlotta's introduc- tion and fairwell to Stair, until, per- haps, some happier day should dawn for her and those whose deepest re- grets and hopes she now so fully That was done before you came on shared. the scene at all.

"Some women actually rub holes in clothes trying to get them clean with harsh, ordinary laundry soaps; which are only half soap anyway. No wonder they, say; `Washing is so wearing on clothes'. "The easiest way I've found to wash clothes—easiest on clothes and easiest on myself ---is by using Sunlight Soap. No boiling or hard rubbing is needed --the pure Sunlight suds penetrate through and through each fabric, loosening dirt and dissolving grease spots. Then in rinsing, all dirt and soapy matter just runs away. "And as every bit of Sunlight is pure, cleansing soap, it lathers generously, does not fade anything washable and is far more economical.

When will you come again to take your full share of talking? There are so many things I want to know about you?" . "You want to know them yet, even after we have spent all these hours together?" • I know what you are after—base flattery!" answered Judy, with a flash of her old brightness. "But you don't get it! You know, don't you, that I am glad, more glad even than I was this • morning, that you belong to Stair!" "Stay like that, Judy," said the other woman with a strange passion. "If you believe in me, and love me like that, I shall arrive!" "Arrive—where?" • "I was only thinking of something I was reading this morning in Brown- ing.

Judy had not rehearsed the little scene, and she went, as was natural to her, right to the bedrock of things without delay. Carlotta's color rose. "He has told you then? But, my dear, we may never marry. That mat- ; ters little. What matters is that we should have met—he and I and you. (It is one of the wonders of the world. 'Now I know why I was brought to Scotland—and that was a problem I against which I beat myself until I was tired!" Judy,leaning back in the low reek- ' er, intently studied Carlotta's face. 1It was a study of which neither man nor woman could quickly tire.

It could never be other than good for a man to worship at that shrine! It would uplift and pur- ify and even redeem him, supposing he needed redemption from himself. "I ani sorry for Peter Garvock for the first time in my life," she said un- expectedly. Carlotta, heard her, a little startled. "Oh, why?" "To have lost you!
