more reconciled after awhile. We can't
any of us feel as we should, so soon,"
answered Julia, the eldest of the Mc-
Donald girls, as they stood with their
?nether at the kitchen window looking
after their father Se he returned to his
work.
"Poor father 1" hight...d the younger of
the two girls. After a moment she said,
in her cheery voice, "ril fly through

over to the house and stay the after-
noon with him, andsee if 1 can't cheer
him up a bit. 1 siippose you can -spare

"Spare you? Yee; indeed; and you

ing at the toil -worn fingers which bore
evidence to the recent handling of black
dye. "Get ready it -once. Who knows
hat it may cheer the poor man up ? I'm
glad you thonght �f it."
Molly McDonald was glad she thought
of it too, when she reached the house her
father was building. As she made her
way across the littered ground she could

his face was saddethan she had ever

she stepped in tipui the crisp slhavings

"Why, Molly, what brought you ?"
"1 thought I'd come and stay with
you awhile. Mother said she didn't
need me, and I thought we could visit
while you work."
"Well, I'm Very glad to have you
here if you don't find it too cold."
" Igo, it seems warm in here out of
the wind. How good the fresh pine
smells 1" and Molly snuffed as she walk-
ed about, running her hand over the
moat( wood work. She was a pretty,
blaek-eyed, rosy-e.beeked girl, strong
and well-built, andin all her eighteen
years she had hardly known a sick day.
-She came and stood beside her father's
bench, and watched hire as he fastened
in a, board, and with his plane threw
off long satiny ribbons of the clear -
grained wood. " It's nice work," she
said at length. i
1" Yes,..I like my trade,- her father
answered.
"Yon are getting along so fast, too,"
looking about. "Do you think you'll
have it done in time?"
The carpenter's face clouded as he
shook his head. He stopped planing,
and stood silent haa time ; then re-
suming, answered: "No, I'll not get
done in time. Yon needn't say anything
about it to your mother', but I'm going
to lose money on this job, Molly. If
✓ George had lived it would have

to spare on the contract—but, poor boy,
that's the least of losing him';" and he
drew a long sigh. , "This house is full

feel how he was trying to force himself

She went and. fetched an empty nail

overflowing with enthusiasm, on almost

done 4 day's work in her life, she was
unduly irnpressed by the apprenticeship
of the carpenter's daughter, and she
declared to that young woman that she
hadn't slept the night before through
thinking of it.
"I've worked out a plan for you
which: I want you to fall in with. I
want you to come to New York this

said, after knittiog silently. ,
Her father sighted along the board,
and then said, Yee, it is bad."
"Is lathing hard to do, father ?"
I ; any handy man or boy can do
it. But at this seaeon it is hard to

Molly knit to the seam needle, and
then put her stocking away and stood
up."Now, father, I don't want you
to say a word against it, or make any
