As she spoke; Frithiof had come
up the steps behindher.;
`My luck ,has turned, you see,'
he said with a smile in whioh there
was a good deal of sadness. But
his tone was playful, and indeed it
seemed, that be bad entirely got
rid of the bitterness which had
once dominated every look and
word.
'Nonsense!' she cried, slipping
her hand into his arm. 'Your luck
will return, it is only that you are
not quite strong again yet. 'Wait
a day or two and I shall not have,
a chance against you. You need
not grudge me my one little vic-
tory.'
c
h?
Tt has not tired you too much?'
asked Mrs Boniface, glancing up at
Frithiof. There was a . glow of
health in his face• which she had
never before seen, and his expres-
sion which had once been stern had
grown much more gentle. 'But I
see,' she added, 'that is a foolish
question, for I don'tthink r have
ever seen you looking better. It
seems to me this is thesort of ex-
ercise you need: We let you stay
much too • long over that translat-
ing in the old days?
`Yes,' said Sigrid; 'I hardly know
whether to laugh or cry when I
think of Frithiof, of all people in
the world, doing learned transla-
tions for such a man as Herr Siv-
ertsen. He never could endure
sedentary life.'
'And yet,' said Mr Boniface,
paging along the veranda with her,
'1 tried in vain to make him take
up cricket. He declared that in
Norway you did not go in for our
English notions of exercise for • the
sake of exercise.'
'Perhaps not,' said Sigrid; 'but
be was always going in for the
wildest adventures, and never had
the least taste for books. Poor
Frithiof I It only shows how brave
and resolute he is; he is so set up-
on paying off these debts that he
will sacrifice everything to thatone
idea, and will keep to work which
must he hateful to him.'
'He is a fine fellow,' said Mr
Boniface. 'I had hardly realized
what his previous life must have
been, though of course I knew that
the drudgery of shop life was sorely
against the grain.'
'Ever since he was old enough to
hold a gun he used to go with my
father in August to the mountains
in Nord fjord, for the reindeer
hunting,' said Sigrid. 'And every
Sunday through the winter he used
to go by himself on the wildest ex-
cursions aftar sea birds. My father
said it was good training for him,
and as long as he took with him old
Nils, his skydsmand—I think you
call that boatman in English—he
was never worried about him when
he was away. But sometimes I
was afraid for him, and old Gro,oilr
nurse, always declared he would
end by being drowned. Come here,
Frithiof, and tell Mr Boniface about
your night on the fjord by Bukken.'
His eyes lighted up at the recol-
lectian.
'Ah, it was such ;fun !' he cried;
'thoggh we were cheated out of our
sport after all. I had Ieft Bergen
on the Saturday, going with old Nils
to Bukken, and there as usual we
took a boat to row across to Gjelle-
sled where I generally slept, getting
up at four in the morning to go
after the birds. Well, that night
'Nils and I set out to row across,
but had not got far when the most
fearful storm came down on us. I
never, saw such lightning before or
since, and the wind was terrific, we
could do noting against it, and in-
deed it was wonderful that we did
not go to the bottom. By good
luck we were driven back to land,
and managed to haul up the boat,
turn it up, and shelter as best we
could under it, old Nils swearing
like a trooper and declaring that I
should be the death of him some
day. For four mortal hours we
stayed there, and the storm still
raged. At last by good luck I
hunted up four men who were will-
ing to run the risk of rowing us
back to Bergen. Then off we set,
Nils vowing that we should b3
drowned, and so we were very near-
ly. It was the wildest night I ever
knew, and the rowing was fealful
work, but at last we got safely home.'
'And you should have seen him,'
cried Sigrid. 'He roused us all up
at half past six in the morning, and
there he was soaked to the skin,
bn,t looking so bright and jolly,
and making us -roar with laughter
with his description of it all. And
I really believe it did him good; for
after a few hours' sleep he came
down in the best possible of humors.
And don't you remember, Frithiof,
how you played it all on your vio-
lin?'
'And was only sugcesaful in show-
ing how well Nils growled,' Said
Frithiof, neighing.
The reference to the violin sug-
gested the usual ev'ening's music,
and they went into the drawing
room, where Sigrid played them
some Norwegian airs, Roy standing
near her, and watching her fair
swept face, whish was still glowing
with the recollection of those old
days of which they had talked.

.-evening to her husband, as together
•they paced to and fro in the veran-
ela, while Frithiof was being initiat-
,ed into lawn tennis in the garden,
'I- think Sigrid Falck is one of the
-sweetest girls I ever saw.'
'So thinks some one else, if I am
root much mistaken,' he replied.

He is such a fine looking fellow,
-somehow he dwarfs every one else,'
and she glanced across to the oppo-
-site side of the lawn, where Roy,
with his more ordinary height and
•;.build, certainly did seem somewhat
. eclipsed. And yet to her motherly
> eyes that honest, open, English face,
. _with its sunburned skin, was per-
' 'haps the fairest sight in the world.

was going on beneath their eyes,
that it never occurred to thein to

was just as well, for the picture was

CHAPTER XX.
If any one had told Roy that MS
late was to be seriously affected by
Mrs Horner, he would scarcely
have credited the idea. But' the
romances of real life are net as a
rule spoiled by some black hearted
villain, but are quite unconsciously
checked by uninteresting matrons,
or prosaic men of the world, who,
with entire innocence, frustrate
hopes and in happy ignorance go on
their way, never realizing that they
have had anything to do with the
actual lives of those they meet. If
the life at Rowan Tree House had
gone on without interruption, if
Sigrid -had been unable to find work
and had been at perfect leisure to
consider Roy's wooing, it is quite
probable that in a few weeks their
friendship would have ended in be-
trothal.
o-trothal. But Mrs Horner gave a
children's party, and this fact
demigod the whole aspect of affairs.
'It is, as you say, rather soon
after my poor uncle's death for us
to give a dance,' said Mrs Horner,
as she sat in the drawing room of
Rowan Tree House discussing the
various arrangements. 'But you
see it is dear Mamie's birthday, and
I do not like to disappoint her; and
aladame Lechertier has taken the
idea up so warmly, and has pee-
mised to come as a spectator. It
was at her suggestion that we made
it a fancy dress affair.'
'Who is Madame Lechertier?'
asked Sigrid, who listened with all
the interest of a foreigner to these
details.
'She is a very celebrated dancing
mistress,' explained Cecil, 'I should
like you to see her, for she is quite
a character.'
'Miss Feick will, I hope, come to
our little entertainment,' said Mrs
Horner, graciously. For, although
she detested Frithiof, she had been,
against her will, charmed by Sigrid.
'It is, you know, quite a small
affair—about fifty children, and
only from seven to ten. I would
not for the world shock the congre-
gation, Loveday, so I mean to make
it all as simple as possible. I do
not know that I shall even have
ices.' -
'My dear, I do not think ices
would shock them,' said Mrs Boni-
face, 'though I should think per-
haps they might not be wholesome
for little children who have got
heated with dancing.'
'Oh, I don't 'really think they'll
be shocked at all,' said Mrs Horner,
smiling. 'James could do almost
anything before, they'd be shocked,
You see, he's such a benefactor to
the chapel and is so entirely the
leading spirit, why, where would
they be without him?'
Mrs Boniface murmured some
kindly reply. It was quite true, as
she knew very well. James Hor-
ner was 80 entirely the richand
generous head of the congregation
that everything had to give way to
him, and the minister was not a
little hampered in consequence. It
was perhaps the perception of this
which made Mr Boniface, an equally
rich and generous man, play a much
more quiet part. He worked quite
as hard to further the good of the
congregation, but his `Work was
much less apparent, nor did he ever
show the least symptom of that
love of power which was the bane
of James Horner's existence.
Whether Mr Boniface entirely
approved of this children's fancy
dress dance, Sigrid could not feel
sure. She fancied that in spite of
all his kindly tolerant spirit be had
an innate love of the older forms of
Puritanism, and that his quiet
home keeping nature could not un-
derstand at all the enjoyment of
dancing or of character dresses.
Except with regard to 'music, the
artistic side of his nature was not
highly developed, and while his
descent from Puritan forefathers

tage in many ways, and hal un-
doubtedly helped to make him the

and when you heard her talk you felt
the same keen sense of novelty and

her turn was enchanted by Sigrid'a
perfect naturalness and vivacity,
and they had become fast friends
when presently a pause in the music
made them both look up.
The pianist, a; pale, worn looking
lady, whose black silk dress had an
ominously shiny black, which told
its tale of poverty, all at once broke
down, and her white face. touched
Sigrid's heart.
'I think she is faint,' she exclaim-
ed. 'Do you think I might offer
to play for her?'
'It is a kind thought,' said ;Ma-
dame Lechertier, and she watched
interest while the pretty Nor-
wegian girl hastened to the piano,
and with a few hurried words re-
lieved the pianist, who beat a hasty
retreat into the cooler air of the
hall.
She played extremely well, and
being herself a born dancer, entered
into the spirit of the waltz iu a way
which her predecessor had failed
to do. Madame Lechertier was de-
lighted, and when by and by Sigrid
was released she rejoined her, and
refused to be bore off to the supper
room by Mr Horner.
TO BE CONTINUED.
'Why, wbo are you?' said Mr
Boniface, entering almost uncon-
sciously moque-
rade. 8
ciousl into the fun of the s y a q
rade.
'I'm Cinderella's prince,' shouted
Lance, gleefully, and'h the highest
spirits the little fellow danced in to
show Frithiof his get up, capering
all over the xoom in, that rapturous
enjoyment of childhood, the sight
of which is one of the fairest pleas-
ures of all true men and women.
Frithiof, who had been tired and
depressed all day, brightened up at
once when Lance, who was very
fond of him, came to sit on his knee
in the ecstasy of 'happy impatience
which one on'y sees in children.
'What is the -time now?' he asked
every two minutes. 'Do you think
it will soon be time to go? Don't
you almost think you hear the
carriage coming?'
'As for hie,' said Sigrid, 'I feel
like Cinderella before the fairy god-
mother came. You are sure Mrs
Horner will not mind this ordinary
black gown ?'
'Oh, dear, no,' said Cecil. 'You
see, she herself is in mourning; and
besides, you look charming, Sigrid.'
The compliment was quite truth-
ful, for Sigrid, in her quiet black
dress, which suited ser slim figure
to perfection, the simple folds of
white net about her neck, and the
delicate blush roses and maidenhair
which Eloy had gathered for her,
certainly looked the most charming
little woman imaginable.
'I wish you could come too,' said
Cecil, glancing at Frithiof, while
she swathed the little prince in a
thick plaid. tcr'It will be very pretty
to see all the children in costume.'
'Yes,' he replied; 'but my head
would never stand the noise and the
heat. I am better here.'
'We shall take care of him,' said
Mrs Boniface; 'and you must tell
us all about it afterwards. Don't
keep Lance up late if he seems to
get tired, dearie. Good bye, and
mind you enjoy yourself.'
'There goes a happy quartette,'
said Mr Boniface, as he closed the
door behind them. 'But here, to
my way of thinking is a more en-
viable trio. Did you ever see this
book, Frithiof 1' -
Since his illness they had fallen
into the habit of calling him by Ms
Christian name, for he had become
almost like one of the family. Even
in his worst days they had all been
fond of him, and now in these days
of his convalescence, when physical
suffering had brought out the gen-
tler side of his nature, and his
strength of character was shown
rather in silent patience than in
dogged and desperate energy, as of
old, he had won all hearts. The
proud, wilful isolation which had
made hie fellow workers detest him
lad been broken down at. length,
h d" gratitude for all the kindness
he had received at 'Rowan Tree
House had so changed him that it
seemed unlikely that he would ever
sink again into such an extremity
of hard bitterness. His ' laughter
over the book which Mr Boniface
had brought him seemed to his
host and hostess a promising sign,
and over 'Three in Norway' these
three in England passed the pleas-
ant evening which Mr Boniface
had predicted.
Meanwhile Sigrid was thorough.
ly enjoying herself. , True, the Hor-
ers were vulgar, and now and then
said things which jarred on her, but
with all their failings they had a
considerable share of genuine kind-
ness, and the very best side of
thele showed that night, as they
tried to make all their guests happy.
A children's party generally does
call out whatever good there is in
people; unkind gossip is seldom
heard at such a time, and people
are never bored, for they are in-
fected by the genuine enjoyment of
the little ones, the dancers who do
not, as in later life, wear masks,
whose smiles are the smiles of real
and intense happiness, whose laugh-
ter is so inspiriting. It was, more-
over, the first really gay scene
which had met Sigrid's eyes for
nearly a year, and she enjoyed to
the full the quaint little cavaliers,
the tiny court ladies, with their
powdered' hair and their patches;
the Red Riding Hoods and Bopeeps;
the fairies and the peasants; the
Robin Hoods and Maid Marians.
The dancing was going on merrily
when Madame Lechertier was an-
nounced, and Sigrid looked up with
interest to see what the lady who
was pronounced to be 'quite a char-
acter' was like. She saw a tall and
wonderfully gracef al woman, with
an 'expressive but plain face. In
repose her expression 'was decided-
ly autocratic, but she had a most
