Mrs. Jarrow nodded and laughed. "I

He lit his pipe and sauntered out
to look round the place; and next
clay he started for :311ver Ridge with
Teddy and three of the hands.
M he was starting, Mary Seaton
crossed the Yard. She Paueed and
glanced at him and, as if he felt the
glarce, Jack said;
"You're looking very well, Mary."
"Yea," she said, in a low vole. •
She stood, ae if hesitating, and her
hand went toward the pocket of her
dress; but, after a moment or two, she
went on toward the cow -sheet, without

given them! The applicants had gone

for the tender, corapassionating words
