Her plan for her im- mediate future stood out clearly and distinctly in her mind, and already she was shaping her course far ahead. Shortly after noon another visitor came ta the Red House; this was the re tor of Little Wyman Miss Dale Iaid aside her work when the knock came to the door, and went to open it, being alone in the house save for the silent sleeper in the front bed- room. She smiled when she saw Dr. Guest upon the threshold, gave him her hand fra.nkly, aaad bade him come in. He was an elderly man of handsome and benevolent appearance, with a face which was index sufficient to the large, generous, warm heart within. Bnt his most kindly impulses were considerably kept in curb by his aristocratic wife, who ruled him cempleteIy. lie followed Miss Dale into the sit- ting -room, laid his hat and. gloveupon the table, and turned to her c4mpas- 5ionateIy. 'My dear child," he said, " how do you find yourself this morning?" "Thank you, Dr. Guest, I—I am as well as I can hope to be," returned Miss E HURON EXPOSITOR. Dale, with an unmistakable tre her voice. Strange that in her view with Jasper Leigh she h once flinched, and how the first iords of considerate kindness should so nearly break her down. "I observed the men corning hp the village with the casket," said Mr. Guest, purposely avoiding the use of. that hideous word we all dread; " a.nd I has- tened to -be before them, to be with you when they came." Swiftly Barbara Dale's eyes turned upon the clergyman's face, and the won- derful -flash of gratitude in their depths almost amazed him. " They are at the gate, Dr. G-uest," she said, and turned to go and admit them. But Dr. Guest motioned her back, saying gently but firmly— " Nay, you will remain here, Miss Pale; I shall accompany the men up- stairs." "You.will call me when they are ready, Dr. Guest," she said. "He would like me to be there; I would like it myself." "Yes, I will call you," Dr, Guest promised, and went out to meet the un- dertakers. By-and-by he returned for 13arbara, and took her up -stairs, and she stood by pale and tearless while they laid her father in his last narrow bd. She seeined utterly unconscious of What was passing till Dr. Guest touched her arm. My dear, come down -stairs," he said, and she obeyed him like a child. "I -find there are very many in Little Wymar who desire to go to the burying - ground to -morrow, Miss Pale," he said, when they re-entered the sitting -room. "They will meet us here at three o'clock. You are quite sure, my dear, that there is no one you would like to send for—no relatives who—" "I have no relations, Dr. Guest, and my father desired that none of those whom we knew in the old life should be asked to his funeral," said Miss Dale in the same listless way. It is Very kind of the people to wish to come. I shall remember it gratefully always." "You will not remain here alone all night, Miss Dale," said the Rector then. Corn.e down to the Rectory ;and stay, at least, till morning." " And leave him ?" she queried in simple surprise. "My dear, it cannot possibly naatter to him now," said Mr. r3ruest gently. "I should not like the idea of it, Dr. Guest. Many thanks, but the woman from the village will come up and sleep in the house, and I have no fear." Then Dr. Guest took up his hat. "There will. be plenty of time to talk over your plans for the future by -and- • by," he said. "111 the meantime I will say good -morning. Winnie would come ancrisee you, Miss Dale, if—if "1 should be pleased, but Mrs. Guest might not like it," said Miss Dale quiet- ly. "My arrangements are all made, Dr. Guest, and I' leave Little Wymar - the day after to -morrow." "Impossible! Where do you think of going?" " To that refuge for the needy—the great wilderness which hides so much and so many," she said with a slight hardness in her voice. "1 am gc,ing back to London." "What to do? Forgive my plain question, my dear. I arn an old man, and I have always liked you. Y ou will do nothing rashly." No, I will do nothing rashly," she repeated, with a little smile. "1 am going straight to a good-hearted soul who was our landlady once, and who will shelter me till I find some occupa- tion." 'What kind of occupetion ?"

' Then she repaired to Bixby's office with the tale of her economy, and ended by saying: "And here's a few little things I thodght I could afford, after saving so Much by going without my hat.," Bixby asked a few questions, made a rapid calculation, and said in an utterly heartless tone : "See here, Sally, don't you ocono- mise any more.

"Where ake you going with the pup- pies, my little man ? asked a gentleman of a small boy whom he met with three pups in a basket.. Goin' to drown 'em," was the reply. "1 want a pup for my little boy to play with. What do you say to letting me take one of them ?' "I'll sell you one," spoke up the kid, with American enterprise. "1'!! sell you this yaller one for fifty cents, the black one for seventy-five cents, and the spotted one is worth one dollar of any man's money." "I think my little boy would like the spotted one best, but you ask too nanch for it.

She lingered tenderly on the girl's pretty name, as if it called up a dear and pleasant memory.

"1 will remember," said Dr. Gues and, taking her hand in his firm, wvn clasp, bade God bless her, and went away. His eyes were dim when he turned away from the desolate house; and yet Miss Dale had been composed enough in outward appearance all through the in- terview. All that day Barbara. Dale's face haunted the Rector of Little Wymar. Upon the marrow, in the grey still- ness of the afternoon, they carried Wil- liam Dale to his rest in the little church- yard facing the river. Miss Dale remained alone at the Red House, and, though many pitied her, none came to intrude upon her in her sorrows. She partook of her solitary tea in the dreary sitting -room, and then, when the night had fallen, put on a hat and cloak and went out. She walked quickly down the lonely road to the gates of the Rectory, and there paused a little, as if not great- ly caring to enter.
