Poor Lieutenant Oaerlyon had been crying plentifully himself, but now he rubbed his eyes determinedly dry, and. gazed at his long-abeent da.ughter proudly. "Elizabeth, hasn't she grown a—a nice little woman?" he asked, longing to say more ,but withheld as he had ever been frone giving his child her meed of praise. "She has grown downright elegant and pretty," said Mrs. Caerlyon, with one of her short laughs; "I'd never have known her, I think, only she came into the kitchen. She's nicer -looking to my mind than Lady Mountrevor—grand as she is," . Winnie blushed deeply—one of her old vivid, rose -red blushaa "Oh, mamma!" "Elizabeth, my dear," said Lieutenaut Caerlyon, laughing, "that's too fart Lady Mountrevor, Elizabeth!" But in his se- cret heart he lead never felt No great a glow of gratitude to his wife act he felt at that instant. 'cis Lady Mountrevor here now'?" Win- nie Asked, looking up with a quick, keen interest darkening 'her brilliant grey eyes. "Yes, she is," answered Mea. Caerlyon, slightingly, and she further proeeeded to state, in the decisive, off -hand way that people assume when they wish to convince others of their demooratic ire difference to wealth and rank, and beauty and fashicn, that for her part she saw nothing particular in this grand Lady Mountrevor that people made such a "to-do" about, as if she were a queen —a tall, stout, showy woman, dreseed like a doll in a window, with her white muslin dressee and lilac ribbons, walking along the dusty roads in eunimer, with a French nurse for her child—her "bone" she believed they called her. '`And why she isn't at home with her husband, in. stead. of wandering about the country, 110 One can make out," concluded Mrs. Oaerlyon, with a sapient nod. "Net neueh love lost between them, Bute enough." "Ah, I bope.such is met the ease," sold Winnie earnestly; and, in order to change the subject—she knew to what lengths "making out" ewe was carried by the maids and matrons of Tolgooth and its Vicinity in the old daye,—she asked, "Do you ever see Madam Vivian, mamma?" . "Yes, at church, sometimes," replied Mrs. Caerlyot, with a fresh aecestrion of the slighting tone; "and she's getting a real old woman, too, for all her grand bonnets and ribbana, and furs and things, 1 saw her last Sunday, and she asked when we had heard last from you. She's as proud and stiff as ever, poor old lady—shut up there in Roseworthy for half the year, without a aoul to talk to but that that tawny -faced old. maid, Trewhellet." "Oh, Trewhella's not married yet, then?" remarked Winnie, laughing. "indeed, she's not, nor never will be," returned the step -another, "for all her dressed -up impudence.

"I did all 1 could, OT °Ours°, as Vre,4 my duty," resumed Winnie, speaking rather tremblingly, for fear ehe might seem proud or arrogent—poor frail pale - faced little woman!—`but 1 shall be able ,to do much more for the future, -dear father—a great deal more, mann nia," 12Vinnio was shedding tears of genuine pleasure and satisfaction.
