in ,attendance, their talk turned
upon rather graver matters than
was ordinarily the case.
"What a pretty view that is of
the church tower," she exclaimed.
"I should like to sketch it, such a
1 f,£uay gray little place it is! But
really I was quite surprised last
Sunday to find it a regular resort
of fashion; the toilets were amazing,
quite a study; your mother says
that the people come to sit from
Greyshot, that they are attracted
by the surpliced choir and the chan-
ting. It seems so odd to think of
things of that sort being novelties;
you are dreadfully behind Bore in
Mountshire."
"No great 1cse perhaps in those
matters," said Uor.ovan.
"What a prosaic mind you leave!"
said his pousin, lightly. "Anel by

to take you to task before. Last
Sunday I looked round expecting
to find you teedv to carry my pray-

is that? It is really very shocking,

the parson and the clerk. Now
they singsong all the things so,
and I can't seem to pick myself
up."
Adele tried not to laugh, and
asked the name of the clergyman.
"Mr Goulding; be'a the white-
haired one. You'd have thought
he was too old to like such new
ways, but 1 make no doubt he is
led on by the curate, who is but
young; and as to him, miss, he gets
through the service so quick you
wouldn't believe, but I never can
hear a word when he reads cff the
old fowl's back."
Adele and Donovan burst out
laughing, and no sense of the re-
spect due to Mrs Doery could stop
them. Dot, not understanding,
looked perplexed till Adele explain-
ed.
"The read -desk in church, dear,
the lecture, is like an eagle. Oh!
Mrs D.ery, you mustn't mind our
laughing, but really that is worthy
of "Punch."

she noticed the change in Donovan's which seemed always trying to in -
face, her wotnanly tact would have
warned her to be more careful, for
he looked as nearly contemptuous
as good manners would allow'. His
voice was grave and displeased as be
replied, and had a strange ring of
pain in it.
"It is not a subject I care to dis-
cuss, thank you,"
They walked on in silence, Dono-
van, trying uneasily to understand
his own feelings. Why did you
not care to discuss this subject?
Was it that his cousin's lightness
jarred on him? was there some lat-
ent sense of reverence in him -
some yet slumbering faith faintly
touched by her flippant tones? Or
was it -could it be -that he, Dono-
van Farrant, was ashamed of the
views he held? ashamed of not being
like the rest of the world?
Adele knew, from the tone of
the answer. which her question re-
ceived, that she had made a mistake.
Flippant, conventional, semi- relig-
ious talk evidently grated somehow
on her cousin's mind. She made
haste to recover her place in his
estimation by referring to the sub-
, ject nearest his heart.
"Shall we take these flowers to

Hie b:ow cleared instantly.
"Yes, let us go. Dot is very
fond of you, Cousin Adele; you
have cheered her up wonderfully."
Adela smiled ; her kindness to
little Dot was the one fair bright
spot in her life just then ; it was
pleasant to dwell on one thing in
which her motive waa really good,
and she was too really kind to like
to remember that she was acting as
a decoy toward Donovan.
Dot held out her hands eagerly
for the flowers.
"What beauties!" she cried. "I
was afraid they were all over."
Donovan took the blush rose and
arranged it in her dress, there its
soft colors helped to relieve the
blackness.
"You and Cousin Adele have had
such a long talk," said Dot, watch-
ing with interest while the flowers
were arranged in her vase. "I saw

injustice was very irritating. In-
justice was Donu -an's watchword,
and this slight but aggravating
specimen of it was a constant thorn
in his side.
Another vexing thing was Ellis
Farrant's behavior to his mother.
He used to perform all kinds of
little services for her, waiting on
her seduously on every possible oc-
dicate to Donoxan : "This is That
you ought to do:' Even had such
attentions been possible to him, he
would have been far too proud to
take such a broad hint., and Ellis
was probably aware of this, or he
would not have risked giving the
advice ; it was everything to him
that Mrs Farrant should feel the
great difference between his conduct
and her son's. On the whole, there
was some reason in Donovan's com-
plaint that autumn -life had al ways
seemed to hint hard and perplexing,
and it grew more so.

That an atheist should bestow his

"Had any skating yet ?" he asked
in his kindly voice.
"No ; our pond is half over -grown

The speaker was a gray-haired,
elderly man, with a thin, worn
face, kind eyes, and rather bent
shoulder. His companion, Mr
Ward, was the Squire of Oakdene
a short, broad, gray -whiskered
country gentleman, somewhat bluff,
but still good-natured enough in
his way. The two were returning
from a meeting of the churchwar-
dens on an afternoon in January,

pitable uld gentleman hastened for-
ward to receive his friends.
"You are the only good skater
here," said Maggie, looking up ad-
miringly at her instructor. "Where
did you learn? And how can you
manage to do all thuse wonderful
figures?"
"They are only learned by prac-
tice," said Donovan. "I learned
at school and at my old home near
London. You tau do anything
well if you give your whole will to
it."
"Can you?" said Maggie. "I
can't. I expect I have had as many
weeks of skating as you have had
days. I conte from Canada, you
know; but I shall never be ably to
do these figures as you do.
It was pleasant to be made niucb
of and flattered; an entirely new
experience to Donovan. He thought
Maggie White the prettiest and
pleasantest girl he had ever seen.
They talked on naturally and easily
and it was not surprising perhaps
that Donovan was in no hurry to
part with his new companion, or
that he enjoyed skating rapidly up
and down the lake, hang in hand
with her, more than cutting figures
by himself. Nor did it occur to
Maggie that she was guilty of any
great enormity in enjoying herself
too. Once she said, in her pretty
way:
"I aur keeping you from doing
what you like; please go away arid
leave me. I am taking up all your
time, and spoiling your skating."
And Donovan, though he was no
"lady's man," could answer very
truthfully:
"You are making we
perfectly."
Then they began to talk again of
Canada, and she describe(} all its
delights to him.

Mr Ward was quite right in sur-
mising that his wife would be vex-
ed when she heard of the invitation
he had given. He tried hard to
mention it casually when he got
home, but there was an undisguis-
able anxiety in his voice as he
observed:
"Oh! by the bye, my dear, I
met young Farrant just now, and
asked him to conte over for skat-
ing to -morrow."
Mrs Ward lookedup with as
much annoyance as it was possible
for a good, kind-hearted woman to
show.
"You asked Donovan to come
here?"
"Not to the house, pry dear, only
to skate on tho lake. I really don't
see how I could avoid it; he is a
first-rate skater, and this is the only
ice for miles round."
"But only the other day, Edward,
you said you wouldn't have him
about with the boys on any account.
I really think you night be more
careful. It will be beginning an
intimacy, and then, with such near
neighbors, we shall find it impos-
sible to break it off. It is just the
most dangerous time, too, with
ing! Why had not the girls been
more careful? Why had she not
sent down the servant to help them?
Why did her husband stand there
so carelessly, laughing and talking.
Her greeting to Donovan was stiff
and chill but he was much too
happy to care; the day was glor-
iously fine, the frosty air invigora-
ting, Mr Ward and his daughters
had been kind and friendly, Mag-
gie White was bewitching, and for
once in his life Donovan was per-
fectly and healthily happy. He
had been on the ice for some time,
his usually pale, dark face was all
aglow with the exercise, and his
eyes sparkling with excitement; he
certainly looked more provokingly
handsome, and perhaps there was
some cause for Mrs Ward'sanxiety.
"How could you let him help
the girl like that?" she said re-
proachfully, as the skaters glided
swiftly away. "I thought, Edward
you told me he was a regular mis-
anthrope."
"Well, I don't see that he hes
done much harm, my dear," said
the squire. "Common courtesy
would require him to help the la-
dies, and I am glad to see him lose
