Mary refused to 'aid _her husband in

Mrs. Cameron smiled and kissed
her. Jess snuggled affectionately
against her.
""The Schoolmaster's bringing Deir-
dre," Davey said.
Mrs. Cameron's eyes flew along the
track to the other cart that was com-
ing slowly up the hillside.
Davey took charge of the Sehool-
master's horse. Mrs. Cameron and
he and the children went indoors.
"I've come to apologize, Mrs. Cam-
eron, for Deirdre's rudeness last
night," the Schoolmaster said gravely.
"It -was very good of you to say that
you would teach her what I so much
want her to know. I hope that you
will forgive her and---'
His voice trembled.
"Deirdre, you've gat something to
say to Mrs, Cameron yourself, haven't
you?"
"I'm sorry!" Deirdre cried; with a
dry, breathless gasp.
Her face had whitened; the misery
had come into her eyes again. They
went appealingly to the Schoolmaster
and back to Mrs. Cameron's face.
Davey proved to go out to her.
"Leave her alone," his mother said
gently, "it's (best to let her get aver
it by herself, Davey."
Jess flew backwards and forwards
helping to set the table. She delight-
ed in making herself useful,
"Oh, Mrs. Cameron, what a funny
salt -cellar;" she cried. We've got
two blue ones and a big new lamp
mother got at the Port!"
Mrs. Cameron looked from the tear-
stained, grief -torn face of the School-
master's little daughter to the plump,
rosy-cheek•ed, happily -smiling child of
her nearest and most prosperous
neighbor, and sighed. When the tea.
was made, she and the children sat'
round the table for their meal.
Donald Cameron was away and not
expected home for a day or two.
Deirdre tried to eat when she was
told to, but her lips quivered. She
choked over the mouthfuls of feod she
swallowed, Mrs. Cameron put her
arms round her, but Deirdre stiffened
against their gentle pressure. She
would not be comforted. Davey stared
at her miserably.
Only 'Jens chattered on artlessly,
taking no notice of her, eating all her
bread and butter, and drinking her
