Sigrid went home in high spirits, supd'tle next day, when as usual she and Frithiof were alone in the morning room after breakfast, she told him ..of Madame Iiechertier's Yiroposal,and while they were still ''discussing the matter the good lady *Ms announced. 'Now, :like many people Mme. '‘l ,echortior was benevolent by im- pulse" .Had Sigrid been less attrac- ,live, She would not have gone out of her way to help her; but the Nor, wegien girl had somehow touched her heart. 'It 'will be a case of "Colors seen by candle light will not look the nameby, day,"' she had reflected as `she, walked to Rowan Tree House. 'I shall `find my pretty Norae girl quite; commonplace and uninterest- ing, and my castle in 'the air will fall in ruins.' - put when she was shown into the "•rrciom where Sigrid sat at work, all 'her fears vanished. 'The girl has bewitched me !' she thought to her- eelf. 'And the brother, what a fine looking fellow! There is a history 'behind that face if I am not milt - .taken. 'We have just been talking over r *hat' yen said to me last night, madame,'; said Sigrid, brightly.. 'The, question is,' said Mme. Le- chertier, 'whether you are really in earnest in seeking work, and whe- ther you will not object to my pro- posal.; ro- posal The fact is that . the girl who for some time has played for me at'my principal classes is going to be' married.

'Oh, Frithiof 1' cried Sigrid, in great excitement, 'we should be able to keep Swanhild. We could have her over from Norway. Surely your salary and mine together would keep us all?' 'Who is. Swanhild?' asked Mme. Lechertier. 'She is our little sister, madame. She is much younger—only eleven it:. years old, and as we are lorphans, Frithiof and I are her guardians.' Mme. Lechertier looked at the two young faces, smiling to think that they should be already burden- ed with the cares of guardianship. It touched her, and yet at the same time it was almost comical to hear these two young things gravely talking about their ward. 'You see,' said Frithiof, 'there would be her education, one must not forget that.' 'Rut at the high schools it is very cheap, . is it not, madame?' said, Si- 'Abbut ten pounds a year,' said Matte. •"Lechertier. 'What is your llittle:slater like, because if she is at 'dill like,you—' 'Hage is her photograph,' said Sigrid, unfastening. her writing naso and taking out Swanhild'e picture. 'Thite is taken in her peasant cos- tume which she used to wear •sometimes for fun when we were in the country. It suits her very well, I think.' 'But she is charming,' oried Ma- dame Leehertier, 'Such a dainty little figure.

She glanced at Si - 4d, and saw that the sister was ready to saeriace anything for the sake of getting the little giri to F,ingland, Then, having gas much tact as kindness, she rose to go. You will talk it over between you andilet me known your decision,' she said pleasantly. 'Consult lllr and Mics Bonifaee, and let one know in a day or two. Why should you not come in to afternoon tea with me tomorrow, for I shall be at home for once, and can show you my canaries/ Cecil will bring you. She and I are old friends.' Whentshe was gone, Sigrid re- turned to the room with dancing eyes. " 'Is she not delightful 1' she cried. 'For myself, Frithiof, I can't hesi- tate for a moment. The work will be easy, and she will be thoroughly kind.' 'She has a bad temper,' said Frithiof. 'How do you know?' 'Because no sweet tempered wo- man ever had such a straight, thin lipped mouth.' 'I think you are very horrid to pick holes in her when she has been so kind to us. For myself I must accept, But how about Swanhild?' 'I hate the thought for either of you,' said Frithiof moodily. Somehow, though his own de- cent in the social scale had been disagreeable enough, yet it had not been so intolerable to him as this thought of work for his sisters. 'Now, Frithiof, don't go and be a goose about it,' said Sigrid caress- ingly. 'If we are ever to have a nice cosy little home together we must certainly work at something, and we are not likely to get lighter, or more congenial, or better paid work than than this. Come, dear, you have got, as Lance would say, to 'grin and bear it." He sighed. 'In any case, we must give Swan- hild herself a voice in the matter,' he said at length. 'Accept the of- fer if you like, provisionally, and let us write to her and tell her about it.' 'Very Well, we will write a joint letter and give her all sorts of guar- dianly advice. But, all the same, you know as well as I do, that Swanhild will not hesitate for a mo- ment. She is dying to come to England, and she is never rico happy as when dancing.' Frithiof thought of that day long ago, when he had come home after meeting the Morgans at the Bergen landing quay, and had heard Sigrid playing as he walked up the garden path, and had found Swadhild danc- ing so merrily with Lillo, and the old refrain that had haunted bim then returned to him now in bitter mockery, lr' ip to ought hem show, c tents, Iris th *tam w:>+ 1 e caaie of . in woarioWa* . rant to, her.

But that was all. Whether their friendahlp could ever now deepen into love seemed doubt- ful. , CHAPTER + YI. During the next few days Sigrid was absorded in deep calculations.' She found'that, exclnyir of Swan- hild's small earnings, e 1 tt i, would be absorded by her edue,'ion and the few extras that m i� it . tie need- ed, their actual ye�.1 iv income would be about £151.1. Frithiof s work for Herr Sivertsee, and what- ever they might earn by evening engagements, could be laid aside to- wards the fund for paying off the debts, and she thought they might perhaps manage to live on the rest. Mrs Boniface seemed rather aghast at the notion, and said she thought it impossible. 'I don't suppose we shall spend as little on food as Frithiof did when he was alone,' said Sigrid, 'for he nearly starved himself ; and I don't mean to allow him to try that again. I see that the great difficulty will be rent, for that seems so high in London. We were talking about it this morning, and Frithiof had a bright idea. He says there are' some very cheap flats—workmen's model lodgings— that perhaps might do for us ; only of course we must make sure that they are quite healthy before we take Swanhild there.' 'Clean and healthy they are sure to be,' said Mrs Boniface, 'but I fancy they have strict rules which might be rather irksome to you. Still we can go and make inquir- ies. After all, you would in some ways be better off than in ordinary, lodgings, where you are at the mercy of the landlady.' So that afternoon they went to an office where they could get in- formation as to model dwellings, and found that four rooms could be obtained in some of them at the rate of seven and sixpence a week. At this their spirits rose not a lit- tle, and they drove at once to a block which was within fairly easy distance both of the shop and of the rooms in which Madame Lechertier gave her afternoon dancing -classes. To outward view the model dwellings were certainly not at- tractive. The great high houses with their uniform ugly color, the endless rows of windows, all pre- cisely alike, the asphalt courtyard in the centre, though tidy and clean, had a desolate Loeb-.

(owing to the good WPlfl8n's north -country accent Sigrid had not. been able quite i.o follow this last speeoh, but she understood enough to awaken in her a keen curiosity, and to show her that their naw life might have plenty of human in- terest in it, She looked out one of the windows at the big square of houses and tried to picture the hundreds olives which were being lived in them. 'Do you know, I begin to like this great courtyard,' she said to Cecil. 'At first it looked to me droary,':but now it looksto me like a great, orderly' human hive ; there is something about it that makes one feel industrious; We will settle down here, then,' said Frithiof smiling 'and you shall be queen bee.' 'You think it would not hurt Swanhild ?' asked Sigrid, ttlrninQ' to Mrs Boniface. 'The place seems to me to be beautifully airy.' 'Indeed,' said Mrs Boniface, I think in many ways the place is most comfortable, and certainly you could not do better, unless you gave a very much higher rent.' But nevertheless she sighed a little, for though she admired the resolute way in which theso two young things set to work to make the best of their altered life, yet she could not help feeling that they scarcely realized how long and te- dious must be the process of slowly economizing on a narrow income until the burden which they had taken on their shoulders could at length be removed. Even to try to pay off debts which must be reck- oned by thousands out of precar- ious earnings which would be count- ed by slow and toilsome units, seemed to her hopeless. Her kind, gentle nature was without that fibre of dauntless resolution which strengthened the chambers of the two Norwegians. She did not un- derstand that the very difficulty of the task incited them to make the attempt, nerved them for the strug- gle, and stimulated them to that wonderful energy of patience which overcomes everything. As for Sigrid, she was now in her element. A true woman, she delighted in the thought of having rooms of her own to furnish and arrange. She thought of them by day; she dreamt of them by night; she pored over store lists and furni- ture catalogues, and amused them all by her comments. 'Bede ure ruinously dear,' she said, after making elaborate calcu- lations. 'We must have three real- ly comfortable ones since we mean to work hard all .day, and they must certainly be new; the three of them with all their belongings will not leave very much out of twelve pounds, I fear.

'After a fashion,' she replied, 'but old Gro really managed things. However, I know that I shall real- ly enjoy trying my hand at any- thing so novel, and you will have to come and see me very often, Ce- cil, to prevent my turning into a regular housexeeping drudge.' Cecil laughed and promised, and the two girls talked merrily to- gether as they stitched away at the household linen, Frithiof looking up from his newspaper every now and then to listen. Things had so far brightened with him that he was ready to take up his life again with patience, but he had his days of depression even now, though, for Sigrid's sake, he tried not to giye way more than could be helped. There was no denying, however, that Blanche had clouded his life, and though he never mentioned her name, and as far as possible crowd- ed the very thought of her out of his mind, resolutely turning to work or books, or the lives of others, yet her influence was still strong with him, and was one of the worst foes he had to fight against. It was constantly mocking him with the variety of human hopes, with the foolishness of his perfect trust which had been so grossly betrayed; it was an eternal temptation to think leas highly of women, to take refuge in cynical contempt, and to sink into a hard joyless sceptioism." TO BE CONTINUED. be second hand, and we won't go in for a single luxury; it will look rather bare, but then there will be less trouble about cleaning and dusting.' 'You will become such a domes- tic character that we sha'n't know you; said Frithiof, laughing.

'I never knew before how many things there were in a house that one can not do well without. 3 ow that . surely must be all. No, I have forgotten brushes and brooms and such things. Now then for the adding up. You check me, Cecil, for fear I make it too little—this is a terrible moment.' 'Twenty eight pounds!' ex'hlaim- ed both girls in a breath.' 'You can surely never do on that?' said Cecil. 'It seems a great deal to me,' said Sigrid; 'still, I have more than that over from uncle's fifty pounds check, even after Dr Morris is paid. No, on the whole, I think we need not worry, but may spend as much as that with a clear conscience. The thing I am most anxious about is my weekly bill.
