CHA.PTER XVIII.
The dew drops were beading the long
waving grass, and gliterintg tremblingly
on the rustling ivy leaves, which shook
off the translucent gems, in a passing
breath of the sweet summer morning
breeze, down upon the fresh, rosy -tinted
faces of the little daisies beneath, scarce
unclosed as yet to the warm smile of the
sunlight. The blossoms of the dewy
atevintetgoseenstereed softly, too, and the
perfumed liquid of -their snowy chalices
dropped on the thirsty leaves of the
purple -flowered wild geranium, that
clustered in shrub -like semated masses
of. downy leavee and. Ellie -starred pet -
els,
But the birds were silent in the sha-
dow of the elm -trees; chirp and song
and fluttering gladness alike were hush-
ed. The feathered occupants waited,
watching in fear and surprise, to see tbe
final. issue of the strange invasion of
that sunny, peaceful corner by the elm
treesewhere the white roses and purple
geraniums had bloomed in wild luxuri-
exec for so many years, where the dark
clustering ivy twined and crept over the
mossy. wall, and the pink -tipped daisies
starred the sod -the sunny, peaceful cor.
ner in the old English cemetery of the
town of Winston, State of Massachu-
setts, 'United States of America.
Unwonted and strange the invasion
appeared; for the peace and quiet of
that little old out -of -the way temetery
and tts weed -grown flower grown
graves was seldom disturbed by the
arrival of another occupant for one of
the many narrow homes in that silent
land. More seldom still was one brought
to the sunny corner beneath the elm
trees -the stranger's corner-veliere the
bzones of shipwrecked emigrants from
English, homes far over the sea had
been lying more than forty year.
Yet was one coming now; for the
new .home -oh, so narrow, so dark,•so
cheerlees-was prepared, and. the
pink -tinged, daisies and tender dewy
grasses, cut. and shorn away, drooped
and died, heralding the arrival of the
new tenant to his home. Presently a
group of dark clothed men had gathered,
and One, robed in white, with open book
soletanly gave possession to the new
occupant of his six feet of earth in
the God's acre of the sunny old ceme-
tery. Then the small group of men laid
the stranger down in that strange home
in a foreign land, with a few sighs and
grave sad looks, but no tears, no sobs,
no pallid bereaved faces; there were
only a few •grave, sober men -no we -
men, save one; and she was weeping.
The hour was early, the cemetery' was
distant from the town; no 'women
were there, save this one„ who was
young and pale and fair, and wore
fresh mourning tokens,. and quietly

her memory like a dream of the dead

"Trewhella, reads to you, does she not,
madam?" inquired the vis-a-vis careless-

"Trewhellar said Madam • with a
shrug. "Yes -sometimes. Silo has no

'woman! A dernier ressort when my

not much more pleasure to me to Mitten

"Her -dignity!" echoed the vis-a-vis,
with a kind of leisurely scorn. "What
have people of her class to do with
dignity) I wonder? You pay her wages
to make herself useful and agreeable to
yoe, just as you used to pay Winnie
Caerlyon te make herself useful and
agreeable; and when she ceased to do
so you dismissed her, I believe,"
"I never dismised her," said Madam,
with peevish protest -"that is, not fin-
ally, you know. I meant te take her
back -I have said so dozens of times."
"I never dismiseed her," said Madam,
vis-a-vis, the leisurely scorn glimmering
in a cold smile; "and, whilst you were
deliberating about the possibility of for-
giving her heinous offences, she fled out
of the country, The little fool, she
should have have waited until you

"She should!" cried Madam, sharply,

that haughty mocking smile. "She
should have been more grateful and do,
eile-I have been a good friend to Win-
nle for three years before from the
time her father came to Toligooth, She
should not have treated me so unkind-
ly.'
There was a flush on madam's face
and there were tears in her eyes, the
brightness of which was a good. deal

the wrinkles in her fine skin deep-

ONE ODOR MISSED.
A good illuetration of the wit of
Bishop Welldon, the popular dean of
Manchester, is afforded by the. fol-

given by the Lord Mayor of Man-
chester, the dean sat next to Sir Her-
bert Tree.
"Well, Mr, Tree, what have you
been doing to•clay?" he. asked.
"I went for a long motor ride this
morning and lost a 'bet," replied the
famous actor.
"Indeed," said the dean. "And may
I ask what the bet was?"
"I made a bet that we would pass
through 400 different odors, and we
only encountered 399."
"Ah," replied 131shop Welldon,.
promptly, "you missed the odor of
sanctity." -Strand.

FROM A DIFFEREN- ANQLE.
Mr, Pounds, the retired groeer, was
proud of his new country estate. He
spared no expense in doing things well.
Judge, then. of his delight when a
pair of rooks began buiding a nest
In his park!
But the farmer who teeened the next
land Seats not so pleased. In fact,
he disliked rooks,
So he gave his sons orders to shoot
the offending birds,
Along came Mr. Pounds, enraged.
"See here, my man," he said fierce-
ly, "I With those lads of yours would
let my birds alone. 'm trying to
make a rookery and—"
"That be all fight, sir" replied the
sturdy Eton of the soil, "But I wish

Thateit is just as well to remember
not to inquire too deeply into things
is aptly illustrated by the story which
Clifford Crawford, of "My Best Girl,"
company is now telling,
"Old Aunt •Sally, the highly es-
teemed cook in a Southern family,
Was frequently praised for her culin-
ary ekill, and on one occasion, when
a number of gueets had been to dine
with the family, a remark was made
touching the beautiful appearance of
Sally's pie, which showed a very pret-
ty, scallop on its edge. •
"Inquiry being made as to how the
old lady managed to get such an even
design, Sally was summoned to the
dining room and the question was
duly put to her.
"The emotion of the guests may be
imagined whea the old lady replied:
"Oh, dat's easy. I jest uses my false
teeth." -Young's Companion.
