dinner was not rela ed; and if Fran-- Mrs, Atherton could not tell whether
cesca did not attire herself in accord-
ance with it, she as made to feel
that her fathers*: disapproved her care-
lessness. Mrs,'Athenton was the key-
note of the house, .and she kept it up
to its highest pitch, of elegant order.
And the marvellouS thing- was, the '
servants made no cOmplaints. Under
Miss Loida's authority the, least ex-
tra work was done !under protest; the
extra work under Mrs. Atherton be-
came regular work,Iand they did it
with alacrity and eheerfalness.
The very next Morning after her
arrival she went into the conserva-
tory and. ordered the gardener to cut -
a large quantity of his -finest flowers
for the house. Loina was amused, at
the man's face. He had always been ,
stingy to the last idegree of the con-
servatory treasures; Mrs. Atherton
ordered them with lavish prodigality.
The man gave her a look which had
been wont to abaSh Miss Loida and
Francesca., and even the squire; but
Mrs. Atherton appeared quite uncon-
scious of his dieapproval. She went
out the guarded walks, snipping
hero and snipping there, and laugh-
ing lowly, and making merry asides
to Francesca as She cut the rarest
and loveliest bloOms,
It was a just retribution for long -
continued oppression, and Loida and
Francesca could pot help feeling a
certain satisfactiOn in it. •
"That man is a boor," said Mrs.
Atherton, as the Y returned to the
house; "and he Will have to learn
good manners or go."
And Francesea 'answered:
"You have cute more flowers this
morning than he ever parted with be-
fore. He would scarcely give us any
for the table the day you came
home. If we should go back now, you
would find bim crying or in a pas-
sion."
Mrs. Atherton went back. The man
was in both conditions.
"Send the floneers I cut to tlie
house at once, Barker," she said.
"Yes, ma'am. Excitse me. You have
spoiled the conservatory, ma'am."
"That is of nb importance, for the .
'house will be Iovely, and the con -
-servatory is •to isupply the house. 1
shall want mor
I hope you will have them for me."
She did not liotice either his dis-
tress or his termer; and the flowers,
were cut again on the second day.
With °quail: capable hands she
took hold of t e somewhat neglected
village, Guid d by her the squire
found work fo idle men, in ways he
had never dreamed of. Mrs-. Atherton
saw fields t liat required draining; -
young plantations that required
thinning; old timber that ought to be
•retnoved and cut up for use; cot-
tages on tl e estate that wanted
whitewashing and thatching, and she
said: i
"What is the use, Rashleigh, of
charity, when you can give woelf*?
Work is like mercy; it blesses him
that gives and him that takes." -

flowers in two dams.
this was a natural or an exceptional
attitude, and i3he felt a delicacy in
discussing it with her husband. It
was so easy to appear unkind; so
difficult to gain confidence against
unspoken prejudice. Still she watched
Francesca., after her return from Loi-
da's marriage, with an interest not
devoid. 01 a sincere liking. The
proud, shy, quiet girl attracted her,
because ehe was sure she was neith-
er proud nor shy, nor yet specially
quiet by nature, The character was a
cloak, assumed to repel or to con-
ceal, and in either case she felt sorry
for po young a heart thus hiding its
sorrow.
- One or twice she said'to the squire:
"Do you think Francesca is quite
well? Is she as gay and glad as an
English girl in her position ought to
be?"
And the squire looked anxiously at
his child and prevaricated a- little in
his answer. He sa.w the change in
Francesca, but, in the nrst place, he
did not sea its full extent or esei-
mate its danger, because in his pre-
sence Francesca was .at her highest
point. For this was the natural atti-
tude of a .proud girl who feels her
grief is not shared, riot even sympa-
thized with:
Then, again, the squire really be- '
lieved Francesca. was mentally pout-
ing. First, bectiuse he would not dis-
cuss Lancelot with her; secondly, be-
cause he had himself fund another
love and inearied. The sunposition
was a natural- one; but even if the
squire admitted some justice in it, he
was a little angry at his _daughter
when he considered her changed air
and manner. And, at the last, he al-
ways found the excuse which Fran-
cesca's love for Lancelot gave him;
had she not loved so unwisely, SO
extravagantly, so regardlessly of
himself and his happinees, he never
would have gene to London, he nev-
er would have met his Clara. if, for
instance, Francesca had married Al-
mund Idle, he would have lived and
died a widower, content with her,
.happiness, and finding a new youth
In her children. But this and that
and the other had happened, and bY
the time the squire had considered
all the conditions, .he was ready to
leap to his feet and emphasize his
thoughts with an impatient stamp,
and so away for comfort to his wife
or his business, muttering:
"It was Lancelot, here a.nd there
and everywhere. Lancelot and the
mill, Lancelot and cotton and Mexi-
co. It was Lancelot's father and
mother; it was a, c, o, u, and
sometimes w and y—yea, the whole
alphabet of worries; and I .was right
to get a bit of comfort to myself,
and I am glad I did it."
One day, some time after the new
year, when cotton was beginning to
be plentiful, and mills were at work
again all over the country, Alt's.
