' ,7on't it?" gaily. "Well. I've made up my mind to one thing. If I have to lose my farm—and I shall if I can't 'stick it'—I shall come back and marry Mr. Carmichael, for I'm tired of being leave it to any one who wouldn't value it. He says as much in his will—so the lawyer writes. The whole thing is a piece of spite." "Spite?" Joyce echoed. 'Yes. You see, father died when I was quite little, and 'mother wrote to her uncle George—he was only my great uncle, you know—to ask him to help her. He said if she would go and live with him at the Valley Farm he would give us both a home, and leave her all he had. 14Iother wrote back that she would rather starve than be buried alive —or something like that, and he never forgave her.

"1 should love it," she said with fer- vour. • Her eyes glowed, and a, delicate pink flushed her cheeks, making her look for the moment as pretty as Felinity. .Give me bricks and mortar -and somebody to talk to," the latter said, laughing. Heaven sends almonds to those who have no teeth,"' .Miss Chester quoted under her breath. She turned aikay, and went on with: the work that the entrance of the two girls had interrupted—tidying her. writ- ing -table. She took no part for a time in the talk that followed, but there was an anxious look on her face as she sort - "Well, dear?" she said gently. "What's the trouble ? Another pitiful letter from your mother': Or are the little Ellisons getting too much for You?" Once more the color rushed into the girl's cheeks. "Oh, Miss Chester, what sharp eyes you have!

She !rid her face against the other's arm and lower- ed her voice. Mr. Ellison asked me to marry him last night, Of course it means that I must leave—as soon as I can." Miss Chester was silent. She was an unworldly woman, with lofty ideals of life and old-fashioned views of love and marriage. She would have had nothing but contempt for Felicity's little schemes; yet she caught herself won- dering 1f Joyce had acted too hastily-- for astily—for it ryas evident she had refused her employer, and had never for a moment thought of doing anything else.

Then everyone spoils her—perhaps that makes her a little selfish, but I don't think she's false. I think you misjudge her, Miss Chester—indeed I do."

My life was spoilt when I was young by lust such a piece of pink and white prettiness, Jo:'ce, and I don't want you to suffer as I did." A look of intense pain came into the clever face; then, as if ashamed of be- traying such feeling, Miss Chester be- gan to talk of other things.
