hailed a passing fis .erman, and they
lifted his chest in order to go away.
"What art thou taking?
" My own clothes, alnd my own books

But why?"

Peter was much troubled. Angry as
he iwas, grief at Suer o's defection was
deelper than any other feeling. For
neaFly twenty years he had relied on
hini. Besides the incenveoience to the
busliness, the loss of faith was bitter.
Bu1f. he said no more at that time.
When Margaret was in her home,
Snoirro would be easier to manage.
Moie as a conciliatory measure with
hini, than as kindness to his offending,
daughter, he said, "First of all, how-
• evet, take a load of tea, and sugar and
`- flour; and, such things ah will be needed;
tholi. knowest them. Take what thou
wishes, and all thou wishes ; then, thou
cant not sey evil of rrnh".

Petr went into his counting house, and
StiotrO went to Work With all his will
and strength to get ;Margaret's , house
reaely for her.
Biat though he hired three men to help
him; it was the eveniog of the second
day (before she could remove to it. It
-was* different home -coming from her
preotious one in thet.dwelling. Then all
had been in exquisitely spotless- order,
and iJan had turned and kissed her at
the Open door. This -night every thing
was in confusion. Snorro had carried
all her belongings iota the house,' but
they were unnaeked and unarranged.
Still he had done a great deal; A large
fire I was burning, the hettle boiling on
the hearth„ and on the little round table
be -fete it he had put bread 'and milk and
such things. as would be necessary for a
firstImealo Then, wi,th I an innate deli-
cacy he had gone .away, fully under-
standing- thatat the first Margaret
would wish to be quite alone—
She stood a minute and looked around.
Then she (opened the . box in which her
china and silver were peeked. - -1n heAf
an hour the tea -table was spread. She
even made a kind of festival of the oc-
casion by giving little tism the preserved
froig he loved•with his bread. It seem-
ed to her as if 'food had never tasted se
good! before. She was again at her own
table; at her awn fireeide I ' Her own
roof !covered her! There was no one to
gloom at her or ' make her :feel littr20M-
fortable. .Work, poverty, all things,,
now seemed possible and bearable. -
When Jan had ehhttered blinself
weary she laid him in ' ois cot, and sat
hour after hoar in the dlini light, of the
glow og- peats, thinking, plan.nieg, pray- ;
ing„ whispering Jan's,: name to her
hear, feeling almost asif she were in

argaret took from her ocket a
pie of knitting. It was a shawl
twe ve yards round,' yet of such ex -
qui ite texture that she drew it easily
thr ugh a wedding ring. , Beautiful it
was as the most beautiful lacel and the
fold of fine wool fell infinitply.softer
tha any fold of fine flax couI1 do. It
was a marvelous piece of h ndiwork,
-and Dr. Balloch praised it high y. '

Now all good work is goo for far
mor than alppears upon its sur ace. The
cluti s undertaken by Margo et grew
insensibly and' ,steadily in b neficence
and criportance. In the first lace, thei
effect upon her own character,- as very
great. It was really two, ho rs daily
studY 'of the finest kind. It was im-
possilble that the books–put into her
hand, could he read and discuss d with a
man ilike Dr. Balloch, withou mental ,
enlargement. Equally great nd good
was the moral effect of the co npanion-
ship. Her pen became the en of a
ready writer, for the old c ergyman
kept iup a constant correspondence_ with
his college companions, and with vari-
ous li..arned societies.
About three months after thi alliance
began, th a doctor said one da , "Thou
shalt not read to me this morm g, for I

She th,o-ught this a little -hard for :she
had given him every oppor unity to
understand that her own anituoity was
dead. She permitted little Jan o spend
nearly all his time ;with him, ben he
was rot engaged in fishing, or busy on

And little Jan dearly loned Snorro.
Snore() put him in the water, -and taught
hisn how. to .swim ;like -a seal. Snorro
madelhim a spear and taught him how
to throw it. - He thade:him 4 -boat and
taught him how to soil:it. He got hini

and yet liti . folt singularly restless and
unaettled. As e sat one evening , won-

"It is; thei drea 6,1 have had lately, or
it is hecadse 1 think of Jan so Much.
Why does he not write? Oh, bOw I

Just as 1his thought crossed his mind,
Dr. B llo h stepped across his thres-
hold. S orro tose up with a face icif al -

As Snore() en ved about, the doctor
looked, at his home. EverY piece of

ufacture. His ed was a sailor's bunk
against th wall made soft with sbeep-
fleeces and cove ed ,with seal-skinsl A

couple of s ools nd a table made from

stuffed hir la a d fish skeletons, ad a

doctor,to -tinder tand what a hou e of

little Jan. I
In a fewj min tes the table was set,
and Snorro had oured out the miniSter's
tea and put efor him apiece of bread and
a slice of h oile mutton. As for him-
self he could no eat, he only looked at
the doctor wit eyes of pathetic anx-
iety.
