Cathy had written to scold he for her delay, and .

Cathy's letter, with its girlish over - fie* of -spirits and affectionate honsenee, caused Queenie a few moment' uneasi- ness , "1 shall seem to be what I am not. I wonder if I am. doing wrong to deceive them ?" she thought, - with a sudden throb- a startled honesty. "No ; after all,it is my own business.

It -was evening when she arrived at Church -Stile ilouee. Ted had net her at the station ; Cathy aird Emmie had come flying down the lane to meet them, and had greeted her raptureusly. As she game across_ the moat, *tit the girls ehareging on either arm, she eahr, Garth aei the hall -door - watchieg them. " Whh, what a truant you have been !" 4 said, in his pleasant way. - "We thought our new sehoel-mistress had gite-en us the slip.. Cathy had got all sorts of notions, in her head.

"Yes; I shall have et hendred a year," returned Queenie, trying not to laugh,' When she was away front those keen, gray eYpEi she felt something like a re - newel of courage. _ ' Her spirits returned; the whole thingappeared to her in the light of a good joke.. "When it comes out; and he asks nie thereasonof this mystery, I know what I shall tell him," she thought, when Cathy had withdrawn, well pie sed, and she Was left- alone for the night " I shall tell that I wanted to remain poor a little longer, and- to be liked for neyself ; that I feared losing the shooand the cottage ; that it was an inno e it whim that could do_em. one harm, ain that would give me a great deal Of leisure.".

' , - i I . -.Qaeenie Marriott I wasone of those women whose zeal is achordhig to know- ledge. he lovedhet workefOr its own sake. In her eyes it was ,havested with a meaning mad. dignity that redeenied it fromits! so-called drudgery . and placed it high in the ranks of honorable labor. _ . - Her youthful enthusiasm whited everything with a sort Of moral chritrre 'The little barn -like structure, with its half-mooh windows and rOdghtforms and desks, was a species of temple -whei eih. she enshrined all :manner , of precious thinks. When she looked round on the children's faces they 'seemed to ap- peal to her with all sorts of.'- involved tneardeigs, demhnding patience and sym pathy and all shell goodly. things at her hands. ! Queenie knew the heyalsreadto learn- ing lay through her pupils' heaits. She must love themh and teach them to love her; obedience -would follow as a matter of course. All children were . dear to het, 'for Emmie's iake. Now and then, through the buzz of yoices droning - through.. ,the repetition lessons, there would conee before her. a certain hivid memory, . stabbing her with sudden, sharp pain, —a dark garret haunted with shadows, a pahe-faced child crouched oh the window -seat, wrapped in an Old red shawl, with great blue eyedim with fear; of a little figure stricken down, and lying among them as onethat wee dead ; of a sick-roem where a child -mar- tyr went down into .the very valley of the shadow of death, Where a fight so long and terrible, was carried on •that the weary wateher hardy 'covered her Jape with her trembling- hands, and prayed for Merciful:death to come as a . deliverer.. 'And . so, for the sake. of that Childish stifferer, and that great miracle of heal- ing, Queenie clave with very love to all children. There. was one child, Prissy Atkinson, the sister of the very Patiehee whom Langley had selected as her little maid, .-towhom she showed especial kindness. ' a --t. , , She Was the plainest and most unfit.- terestinh girl t inthe school, slightly • lathe, add with an odd drawl and lisp In 'her voice, ungainly in manlier, and with -no particular cleherness to recommend' her; yet prompted by some undefinable feeling, Queenie singled out this ehild as an object of her interest. ' ' The little rough head:often felt a ten- der band laid' upon it. The gentlest *voice Prissy ihad-ever heard would accost her now and then, difficult taskeewere smoothed .by magic, .pleasant :evades would reward her diligence. Wheu her head- mice ached, a resting -place was found for it on the _teacher's own. shoulder. i „ .. t "Oh, tea her !

"1 wish Dora could have een her jest now, giving that object lesson; .1 fancy she would have changed 1 et opinion altogether.

"Things are . going mum they ought to go on," she sai ' to herself ; " but there is no need to hurry it ;," and, though her pulse quickened a little at his obvious Oeatture at seeing her, she would have scorned .to betray her interest. 1 `1 They do not go in until Tuesday ; We ehall keep them until then;" return- ed Oarth, stroking the pony's neck ab- sently:. "Dora is looking prettier than ever this morning," he thought.. She Wore a hat with a long white curling feather ; the golden hair shone under it; she patted it ,nonchatantly with her little gloved hand as she talked. Emmie interrupted them presently. - ' Scheel is Over ! there are the girls coming out. - Prissy is last, of course. Ah '!. there is Queenie !"- And she dart - across the read, and almost threw her. 'self on her sister. Queenie did not quiekere• her I steps when she saw them.

" Ah, there yon are, Miss Marriott! how -coed you lock in thatelice, broad- brinimed . hat! But Itam Sorry to see you in black. You; have lost a friend; Mr.. Clayton tells me.

Langley has premised -me sonic luncheon." , " &wide and I will be at the house as soon; as you," returned Queenie, taking the child's hand and walking on swiftly. Mieh Chnningliain meant to be kind, she was here of that ; why was -it .that her maniierl always irritated her ? There was e flav,or.of patrona,ge in it that galled her sensitiveness.- " Perhaps ' if she •knew I lead:: fie' thousand a year she Might change her tone," thought Queenie, a little wrathfully. " I never find !it difficult to get on with people ; and yet in my heart I cannot like her. Why will she make it her bilsiness to poach on other , people's ma,nois ?

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY 1 Although the great majority of people are (pith familiar with the medicinal properties of the two articles signified in the above name, (Balsam of Fir and. (lycerine) yet, soi,far as we -are aware, no attempt to combine their peculiar vir- tues had ever bet Made until MESSRS. LUMSDEN & WILSONephemists'and Dr tggists, of Sea orth, had perfected and put upon the market their preparation which is now to be had from druggists under the mine of " LUMSDEN & WIL- SON'S ROYAL pLYCERATED BALSAM OF FIR." Undoubtedly a great remedy; havingtin this age of persistent and lavish'. advertising, by its own super- ior virtues alone, treated a demand from alt parts of the Provinee, -with a rapidly int; rea,sing sale in ever. y locality where introduced, the secret of which ie that every one who us it cannot but speak well of it to their friends. Orders are continually comb, g from the most unkoked for\ sources, which is ti e most con- vinoing proof to t ie manufacturers that, although hundreds of Cou h -Remedies are everywhere.p .ocurable,, those who have used the "Royal Glyce sated Balsam of Fu" can get n )thing to take its place. Ie is recommended for C ughs, Colds, Sore Throat, and similar affections. The most persistent and long sta uting coughs speedily give way to its wonderful powers in allaying irritation of the mucous me nbrarie. Its healing and seeping properties quickly remove al soreness in the throat or bronchical tubes. It is just the thing wanted for a saf and reliable cough remedy, and should be in every household. ,See that you get what you ask for, If your druggist has not got it he will gladly procure it for yoh.
