"Yee, I have no doubt lve could manage it. Bea, too, might come to us early in December." And the conversation turned OD domestio matters. Mrs. L'Estrange, who wrie far from strong, had taken cold, and was easily persuaded to keep in -doors.

MISUNDERSTANDING. • When they reaohen the hotel, 1,11, r von was out, end Nora prolonged h to Harvey & Nichol'., where she attendant spent a pleasant hour an pounds. By the time she reached her to home, Nora felt refreshed and in . Ruth - sr walk and her several porary igorated by air and exercise. The shades of; evening I had begun to gather, and she planned to herself that she would read aloud to Helen after dinner, to attone for her long itbsenoe. The gas had not been lit, and go ' stairs in semi darkness, she ran some one on the first landing. "1 beg your pardon" said Winto voioe she instantly recognized, "1 dark." "Yes,the evenings draw on so soon, now," she replied, with some conf "1 am glad to have an opport ng up - against , whose IR so wishing you good by.. I am going mn. nity of town toonorrow for a few week,; by of yut the time I come back, I shall have made up my mind whether I shall return to India at once or stay to the full extent of my leave." "Ram the old country so little attraction for you, Mr. Winton, that you are ready to leave it ?" "Plenty. of attraction; but—I need not trouble you with my reasone. Good-bye for the present. I hope to see you again before long, either here or at Brooksdale." He held her hand for a ., moment nd was gone. Nora ascended slowly, thoughtf Ily, to the drawing -room, where ' she fou d Mrs. L'Estrange leaning back in an es y-ohair, her handkerchief to her eyes, beside bright fire. " Why, Helen 1" oried Nora, as he ad- vanced towards her. Mrs. L strange started and uncovered her face th strong light of the flames showed that she ' ad been and was weeping. "Dear Helen, hat is the matter ?" . " Do not ask me now. I will tell you all one day, but not now," said Mr. L'Es- trange. Rising, she came quickly owards her step -daughter, pressed her lip for an instant to Nora's cheek, and left t a e room. "Good heavens 1" ejaculated ora to herself, " she has refused him. Bu why ?" Overcome with surprise, she sat d wn, all dressed as she was, to ponder this u expect- ed outcome of their pleasant intim cy with Winton. He,too, seemed depressed and un- like himself. Why—why had He en re- jected him ? especially as she had e idently. felt doing so very keenly. Could it have been becauee she knew that she and her little girl were unprovi ed for, and that she did not like being a bu den on a husband? Winton was fairly web off,and not likely to let such an obstacle $ and in the way of his own or her happiness Could It be any hesitation about leavi g her (Nora) alone, witti some mere hired tranger for a companion ? No; Helen was too sen- sible for such an overstrained sense f duty or friendship Then, as she gazed nto the red mass which glowed in the grat , mems ory unrolled her long record of past enefits and generous acts. The quiet, stead kind- liness, which had won her childish °art, in spite of her natural prejudice again. a step- mother, the perpetual shield she in rposed between the irritable, exacting, ty annical father and his daughter. Now tha Nora was* woman—a thoughtful, Omer/ nt wo- man—how many inetances of - he step- alother'• patience, her care for eve y one'a comfort, her entire selUforgetfulnes , came back to her mind from dim, by-gon days. Her own vague wonder that Helen never wanted to go anywhere, never sought release from the wearying attendance on her quer. ulous, suspicious, invalid husband, bier un- defined impression that somehow life was over for her young step-mother—t at she bad nothing left but endurance and kindly thought for others. What would s e her- e& have been, had she been redu ed to a single-handed struggle with such di oulties —as existence would have preeentei itself without Helen? How much of yout would she have enjoyed? How much of ed pation, or pleasure, or freedom from the s unting effect of care too heavy for her years? Yee? She saw it all clearly. Helen bae been more than a mother to her, for she ad no claim to such tender, diseriminatin care. "-And if I Can repay her I will," hought Nora, her heart glowiog warm and strong. "Nothing shall stand between me and a woman to whom I owe so much. Thank God 1 she is brighter and stronger n w than I ever remember her. I do hope ea will grow up a tender, loving daughte 1 She has a dash of my father's temper ! But why—why did Helen send Mark inton away?

Just now, when Lord Roberts is the ost popular men in the empire, these two siMple iar little stories about him, told Ug by one ho " knowed him rightly," may not be witloat interest: "Lord and Lady _Roberts Were . drivin? wan day from their estate in Ireland to a town near by, about twice the size of - Wingham, when they overtook an Ould wuman welkin' along with a rope tied to a bit av a cub av a pig she was leadie.

She wanted the ride, but she couldn't lave the pig. So *hat did 'Bobs' do but order both her an' the pig to .gets in, an' when they drew up at the big inn,, an' all the servants came out to see what they cud do for tum, Lord Roberts inthroduced thim to hie lady an' her two frinds—the ould winnan and the pig." And all the while the, old woman kept calling on the best bleseings of heaven to descend upon his head, for his - kindness. On another occasion, when Lord - Roberts wee hunting, a hare sprang into itthe river, with the hounds after it The river was deep and without a bridge at this place, and when the field marshal came up all , his fellow hunters were standing about looking, at the water, but none making a move to• cross it. Lord Roberts, we are told, When, he was younger, was very hot tempered,. and, with in angry remark to the men, busked his horse up for a short distance and then sprang into the river. The horse• swam across!, but got stuck in the soft eartb. on the oppoSite bank. Luckily there WM a tree overhead, and by holding onto a breach the "little red faced man" swung himself to, land, gave al hand to his horse, got it Out, rati'down his hare, re.swarn the, river and greeted his visiting huntsmen as a " lot or brave fellows."

"IMY Lord, my Lord, I am sorry to interoupe your repose, but I must beg of you not to - snore quite ao loudly, lest you awaken his majesty." The Rev.
