The fire, aided by winds, gets out of control, The young Pencarrows are rescued and return to the home of Sir Miles, bringing with them a baby whose parents have been killed, and Kelly' stout-hearted assistant, Potty [barker ea-e-s-e-e-saefee "You were quite right. 1 would have noticed it myself, only my mind is occupied with other things, But now 1 see it plainly, and it's got to be stopped. Cousins! It's disgrace- ful." "I think we ought to tell Kitty. I wonder if she has noticed anything. Mind you, it'S only since the fire. They were just like brother and sis- ter before. But when I saw Robin put his arms round her and kiss her, and saw their faces—" "Stop! It's disgusting. I don't want to hear it all over again. But it's got to be ended here and now," anil Miles thumped the table and spilt the milk, Norah sighed and mopped it up. "Robin had better go back to his mother. It's not too far to the Hutt, and there is a good train service now. He can make the change at Cbrist- mas, and that's only a couple of weeks off. And when the winter comes—well, we will see." "Yes, I suppose that's best," Norab agreed, but she was sorry to lose Ro- bin, "We can't forbid them to see each other. It might start a scandal, and we don't want any talk." Dragging tbe subjest into the open might give it just the impetus tJaey dread, and make it subject for public comment. "Have you heard, Genevieve Pen- carrow and her cousin Robin? Al-, ways together ...... the family are , terribly upset ...,.. and Mrs. Herrick is so ambitious for Robin wants him to marry an English girl, I be- lieve. No, I don't know how far it's gone, yet, but her father is furious about it. 2/ In imagination Norah could hear it all. When the family sat down to Sun- day dinner at one o'clock Miles had recovered his composure. ''Bless us, 0 Lord, and these Thy gifts which we are about to receive— Where's Genevieve?" he demanded suddenly, breaking off in the middle of Grace, "She and Robin went out to Grand- father's," said Maggie. • Now dinner was going to be spoilt, thought Noreen and it was such a tender roast. "But she can't. I forbade her to go," tbuudered Miles. "She did. I saw them free -wheel- ing down the hill." "Do you permit your daughter to defy me like this?" They were always Norah's children when they were disobedient. "Well, dear, If you couldn't stop her, how could ? I didn't know she 'tad gone. I thought she was in her room." Silence fell while Miles cut the rich brown roast of beef into rags and tatters and slapped it on to the plates, Today he took no delight in his carving., "Pass the peas, please." "Where's the gravy, Mother?" Subdued voices repeated the ac- customed phrases. Suddenly Allies snatched the table napkin from his knee and flung it on the table, and, pushing his plate from him, got up, "It's intolerable," he said, "Miles, dear, have your dinner." "I don't want any dinner. I can't eat. It would choke me." "It's such a tender roast, and you specially asked for beef today." "I asked for beef? I ask for obedi- ence, that is what I ask for—obedi- ence and respect in my own aouse, To be flaunted and defied by a chit rif a girl! I'll see who is master here. I'll I'll........" The door banged. "Ellen! Ellen, take your master's dinner into his study and a glass of beer. It's very hot and he has a headache. Leave the tray there, even if he tells you to take it away, He may eat a bit when he is alone and it's quiet!' And he did, quite a big bit. At tea time Norah tapped gently ild 'went Into the study, taking with er the tray with tea for two of thezn, etter to get it over without the Shildren. In any case, you couldn't discuss it in front of them. "Penhaps 1 was wrong in mention. big it at all," said Norah, is, his twisted fingers. "Now be oft to your dinner; you must be starving after that long ride," Afterwards they sat under ,the weeping ash in it corner of Granniedi garden. It was still Grannie's gar- den, for her spirit seemed to linger among the flowers she loved and they always spoke of them as Grannie' roses, Genevieve sat on a low garden chair, her hands locked behind , her head, her golden -brown hair catch- ing, the flickering lights that fell like spangles through the gently rustling leav es. Robin lay full length on the grass, his head resting on his arm, his face turned towards Genevieve. Kitty was with her father. After dinner he seemed restless and in pain. The drowsy hum of bees as they buzzed among the flowers, the gentle murmur of leaves swayed by an er- ratic breeze, the golden warmth of the December sun, nearing midsum- mer beat, washed over them like a senuous tide, Genevieve had drawn from the morning's encounter with her father a curious defensive strength, She had felt depressed at first. After the scene with her father, resentment clouded everything. But the exertion of cycling out to the Hutt, with its attendant weariness, then dinner, and now the luxurious restfulness of the summer day had restored the balance and given stimulus to her mind. She no longer felt rebellious, Her tired muscles relaxed, and with this sense of relaxation came a surge of new vigor. An abounding vitality pulsed through her and fired her imagination. (To Be Continued.) It was a long ride to the Hutt, but despite the hampering effect of her long skirt and large hat, Genevieve managed it- without fatigue. When they arrived, after heveral halts by the way, they were just in time for dinner. "How is your father?" Kitty asked as she kissed Genevieve. "Scotty!" Kitty's face assumed a becoming expression, slightly shocked. "You mean he is a little irritable. Dyspepsia is very trying." "It's not dyspepsia, Aunt Kitty; it's temper that upsets him," "But surely you must know, dear., that it is digestive trouble that makes him short-tempered? What was the trouble today?" "Simely that I was coming out here", "But why?" "That's what I asked, and he would not tell me. It's just a sudden fad," "He let you come in the end, though," said Kitty, still in defence of parental authority. "Indeed he did not. I just came, Oh yes, there will be a gorgeous row when I get home, but if you let a row deter you in our house you Would never do anything." "That is not quite fair," Kitfy pro- tested. Genevieve laughed. "Perhaps it's a wee bit exaggerated. All I want is to be treated as an adult person of rea- sonable intelligence. If Father said, 'I don't want you to go to the Hutt today because I need you at home'; or 'I object to Sunday cycling,' or whatever he does object to, I would know where 1 was." "He couldn't have stated it better himself," said Robin, and gave her a pat on the back, "You're a regu- lar bush lawyer." They talked to their grandfather for a few minutes and then dinner was served.

New York—Deploring the lack oi excellence that is manifested in man.), phases of modern life, especially in manners and personal conduct aud literature, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler called upon the students and faculty of Columbia University to devote their efforts to a "search for excellence." Dr. Butler's address marked exercises, held in celebration Columbia's 181st year. "When the spiritual nature of man asserts itself," said Dr. Butler, "the ultimate object of his observation and reflection, of his searching, will al- ways and everywhere be excellence. It was a maxim of Publius Syrus that 'it takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.' Excellence will not be achieved in a day or will it be fully understood and appreciat- ed on the instant. Time is necessary, as is that contemplation which alone leads to full understanding. "In literature," he said, "what is the of first-rate must always contend with what is for the moment popular. Few things are more distressing than the Hats published from time to time of those books which for the time being • enjoy chief popularity among reader. "In respect to manners and per- sonal conduct, present-day habits as manifested in every sort of public place and personal relationship are time and again quite shocking.
