"Only three miles from mother and
Reign] Oh, if I could go there !"
Katy thought, working her fingers
nervously; but the express train did
not Pause there, and it went so swift-
ly by the depot that Katy could
hardly distinguish who was +standing
there, whether friend or stranger.
But when at last they came to
West Silverton, and the long train
slowly stopped, the first object she
saw was Dr. Morris, driving clown
from the village. He had no inten-
tion of going to the depot, and only
checked his horse a moment, lest it
should prove restive if too near the
engine; but when a clear young voice
called from the window: " Morris
oh, Cousin Morris! I've come!" his
heart gave, a great throb, for he knew
whose voice it was and whose the
little hand beckoning to him. Ho
had supposed her far away beneath
Italian skies, for at the farm -house
no intelligence had been received of
her intended return, and in much sur-
prise he reined up to the rear door,
and throwing his lines to a boy,
went forward to where Katy stood,

flea' into his arms, wholly forgetful
of the Last night's lecture on diguity,
and also forgetful of Wilford, stand-
ing close beside her. He had not
tried to hold her back, when, at the
;sight of Morris, she sprang away
:from him; but he followed alter bit-
ing his lip, and wishing she had a
little more discretion. 'Surely it was
not necessary to half strangle Dr.
Grant as she was doing, kissing his
hand after she had kissed his face a
full half dozen times, and all the
people looking on. But Katy did not
care for people. She only knew that
IDlorris was there --the Morris wbom,
tin her great happiness abroad, she
;had perhaps slighted by not writing
;directly to him but once. In Wil -
ford's sheltering care she had not felt
,the need of this good cousin, as she
.used to do; but she was so glad to
lees him, wondering why he looked so
;thin and sad. Was he sick? she ask-
ed, with a pitying look, which made
;him shiver as he answered:
"No, not sick, though tired, per -
'haps, as I have at present an unusu-
al amount of work to do."
• And this was true --he was unusu-
ally busy. But that was not the
)cause of his thin face, which others
tthaan Katy remarked. I3elen's words,
t"It might have been," spoken to him
;on the night of Katy's bridal, had
tnever left his mind, much as he had
;tried to dislodge them. Some men

)as he looked along the road through
!life he felt that he must travel it
:alone. Truly, if Katy were not yet
;passing through the tire, he was, and
It had left its mark upon him, puri-
iiying as it burned, and bringing his
every act into closer submission to
axis God. Only Nolen and Marian
I1Sazelton interpreted aright that look
,upon his face, and knew it came from
the hunger+ of his heart, but they
kept silence;' while others said that
•he was working far too hard, urging
him to late his unwearied labors,
for they ould not lose their young
physician yet. But Morris smiled
his patient, kindly smile on all their
fears and went his way, doing his
rsvork as one who knew he must ren-
tler strict account for the popularity
ire was daily gaining, both in his
own town and those around. He
could think of Katy now without a
sin, but he was not think Ma ,'f her

him, and for an instant she almost
bore his breath away in her vehement
joy.
Quick to note a change in those he
knew, he saw that her forret was not
quite so full, nor her cheeks so
round; but she was weary with the
voyage, and knovring how sea -sick-
ness will wear upon one's strength,
Morris imputed it wholly to that,
and believed sho was, as she profess-
ed to he, perfectly happy.
"Come, IKaty, we must go now,"
Wilford said, as the bell rang its
first alarm, and the passengers, some
with sandwiches and some with fried
cakes in their hands, ran back to
find their seats.
"Yes, I know, but I have not ask-
ed half I meant to. Oh, how I want
to go home with you, Morris," Katy
exclaimed, again throwing her arms
around the doctor's neck as she bade
him good-bye, and sent fresh mes-
sages of love to the friends at home,
who, had they known she was to be
there at that time, would have walk-
ed the entire distance for the sake
of looking once more into her dear
face.
"I intended to have brought them
heaps of things," she said, "but we
came home so suddenly I had no
time. Here, take Helen this. Tell
her it is real," and the impulsive
creature drew from her finger a small
diamond set in black enamel, which
Wilford had bought in Paris.
"She did not need it; she had two
more, and she was sure Wilford
would not mind," she said, turning
to him for his approbation.
But Wilford did mind, and his face
indicated as much, although he tried
to bo natural as he replied: "Cer-
tainly, send it if you like."
In her excitement Katy did not ob-
serve it, but Morris did, and ho at
first declined taking it, saying Helen
had no use for it, and would be bet-
ter pleased with something not half
as valuable.. Katy, however, insist-
ed, appealing to Wilford, who, ash-
amed of his first emotion, now seem-
ed quite aseanxious as Katy herself,
until Morris placed the ring in his
purse, and -then bade Katy hasten or
she would certainly be left. One
wave of the hand, one more kiss

elite while Wilford pulled leer ii.h
in' t.round her, smiling to see how

since that meeting with I)r. Grant.
"It was better than medicine," Katy
said, when beyond Springfield he re-
ferred to it a second time, and lean-
int;' her head upon his shoulder she
fell into a refreshing sleep, from
which she did not waken until New
York was reached, and Wilford, lift-
ing her gently up, whispered: "Come,

CHAPTER XIll.
The elder Cameron was really bete
ter, and,more than once he had re-
gretted recalling his son, who he
knew had contemplated a longer stay
abroad. But that could not now be
helped. Wilford had arrived in Des-
iree, as his telegram of yesterday an-
nounced—he would be at home to-
day; and No.— Fifth Avenue was all
tho morning and a portion of the
afternoon the scene of unusual excite-
ment, for both Mra. Cameron and her
daughters wished to give the six
months wife a good impression of
her new home. At first they thought
of inviting company to dinner, but
to this the father oblected.
" Katy should not be trou-
bled the first day," he said;
"it is baud enough for her to mat
h.m all; "they could ask Mark M
1.1Ley chose, but Ito one else."
And so only Mark Pttav was invit-
ed to the dinner, gotten up so el-
aborately as if a princess had been
expected instead of little Katy, trem-
bling in every Joint when about
our p.m., Wilford awoke her at the
lepot and whispered, "Come, 'dar-
ing, we aro home at last."
"tthy do you shiver so?" he ask -
d, wrapping her cloak around her,
ed almost lifting her from the car.
"I don't—know. I guess I'm cold,"

that she, who 'once bad picked huck-

ford, who asked whet wtis the mat-

"P -tease don't cry," Wilford rejoin-
ed, brushing. ber teare away. "You
'know 1 don't like your eyes to be

With a great effort Katy kept her

burning, and as the carriage stopped
a flame of light seemed suddenly to
burst from every window as the gas
heuiis were turned up, so that Katy
caught glimpses of rich silken cur-
tains and costly lace as she went up
the steps. clinging to Wilford and
looking ruefully around for Esther,
who had disappeared through the
basement door. Another moment
and they stood within the marbled
hall, Katy conscious of nothing def-
inite -- nothing but a vague atmos-
phere of refined elegance, and that a
richly dressed lady came out to meet
them, kissing Wilford and calling
him her son; that the same lady
turned .to her saving kindly: "And
tiffs is my new daughter?"
Thcn Haty came to life, and did
that, at the very thought of which
she shuddered when a few months ex-
perience hail taught her the temerity
of the itct--she wound her arms im-
pulsively around Mrs, Cameron's
neck, rurnpling her point lace collar.
and sadly displacing the coiffure of
the astonished lady, who had eel-
dom receis'ed so genuine a greeting as
that v h'ch Katy gave her, isissing
her lips and whispering softly, "1
love you now because you are Wil -
ford's mother, but by and by be-
cause you are mine. And you will
love me some because I am his wife."
Wilford was horrified, particularly,
when he saw how startled his moth-
er looked as she tried to release her-
self and adjust her tumbled head-
gear. It was not what he had hop-
ed, nor what his mother had ex-
pected, for she was unaccustomed to
such demonstrations; but under the
circumstances Katy could not have
done. better. There was a tender
spot in Mrs. Cnfineron's heart, and
Katy touched it, making her feel a
throb of affection for the childish
creature suing her for love.
"Yes, darling. I love you now."
she said, removing Katy's clinging
arms and taking care that they,
should not enfold her a second time.
"You are tired and cold," she con-
tinued; "and had better go at once
to your rooms. I will send Esther
up. There is plenty of time to dress
for dinner," and with a wave of her •
hand, she dismissed Katy up the
stairs, noticing as she went the ex-
quisite softness of her fur cloak ; but
thinking it too heavy a garment for
her slight figure, and noticing too,
the graceful ankle and foot which
the little high -heeled gaiter sho\v ed
to good advantage, "I did not see
her face distinctly, but she has a
well-turned instep and walks easily,"
was the report she carried to her
daughters, who, in their own room
over Katy's, were dressing for din-
ner.
"She will undoubtedly make a good
dancer, thea, unless, like 1)r. Grant.
she is too blue for that," Juno said,
while Bell shrugged her shoulders,
comgratulating herself that she had
a mind above such frivolous mattters
as dancing and well-turned insteps,
anis wondering if Katy cared in the
least for books,
"Couldn't you see her face at all,
mother??" Juno asked.
"Scarcely; but the glimpse I did
get was satisfactory. I think she is
pretty,"
And this was all the sisters could
ascertain until their toilets were fin-
ished, and they went down into the
library whore their brother waited
for there, kissing them both affec-
tionately, and complimenting them
oe their good looks.
"I wish we could say the same of
you," Juno answered, playfully pull-
ing his moustache; "but upon my
word, Will, you are fast settling
down into an oldish married man,
even turning gray, and she ran her
fingers through his dark hair, where
there was now and then a thread of
silver. "Disappointed in your do-
mestic relations, eh?" she continued,
looking him archly in the face.
Wilford was rather proud of his
good looks, and during his sojourn
abroad, Katy had not helped him
any in overcoming this weakness,
but on the contrary had fed his.
vanity by constant flattery. And
still he was himself conscious of not
1'ooking quite as well as usual just
now, for the sea voyage had tired
him as well as Katy, but he did not
care to be told of it, and Juno's
ill-timed remarks roused him at
once, particularly as they reflected
somewhat on Katy.
"I assure you I ain not ''disappoint-
ed." he answered, "and the six
months of my married life have been
the happiest I ever knew. Katy is
mere than I expected her to be."
Juno elevated her eyebrows sugt t-
ly, but made no direct reply, while
Dell began to ask about Paris and
the places he had visited.
'Meanwhile Katy had been ushered
into her room, which was directly
over the library, and separated from
Mrs. Cameron's only by a range of
closets and presses, a portion of
which were to he appropriated to
her own use. Great pains had been
taken to make her rooms attractive,
and as the large bay window in the
library below extended to the third
story, it was really the pleasantest
chamber in the house. To Katy it
was perfect, and her .firet exclama-
tion Was one of delight.
"Oh,how pleasant! how beautiful!".
she cried, skipping across the soft
carpet to the' warm fire blazing in
the grate. "A bey Window, too,
when I likp them no much! I shall
be happy hers."
Dot happy as she was, Katy could
not help feeling tired, and she sank
into one of the luxurious easy -chairs.

too, for she had no idea of a , head

"I)id you have your hair cut on

But wh'n Katy explained, she an -

"Never mind, it is a fault which

011 look like a child."
"I arrt eighteen and a half," Katy

tilt since their babyhood he had

but whin Katy, who looked upon
such a salutation as a matter of
course, put up her rosy lips, making
the first ad, ance, he kissed her
twice. Hearty, honest kisses they
were, for the man was strongly
d'•awn towards the young girl, who
said to him timidly:
"I am glad to have a father—mine

and Mr. Cameron's voice
retook as he said it, for neither Dell
nor Juno were won't to address him
:,1st as Katy did — Katy, standing
close to him, with her hand upon
hia shoulder and her kiss fresh upon
his lips.
She had already crept a long way
into his heart, and he took her
send from his shoulder and holding
t between his own, said to her:
"1 did not think you were so small
.n' young. You are my little dau-
.hter, my baby, instead of my son's
wife. IIow do you expect to fulfill
the duties of Airs, Wilford Gamer -
en?"
"It's my short hair, sir. I am
.rot so young," Katy answered, her
ayes filling with tears as she began
to wish back the thick curls Helen
ru 1 away when the fever was at its
height.
Nevem mind, child," Mr. Cameron
rejoined playfully. "Youth is no
reproach; there's many a one would
give their right hand to be young
like you. Juno for instance, who

"flus -band!" came reprovingly from
Mrs. Cameron, spoken as only she
could speak it, with a prolonged
buzzing sound on the first syllable,
tend warning the husband that he
was venturing too far.
"It is time to go down if Mrs.
Cameron sees the young ladies be-
fore dinner," she said, a little
stiffly; whereupon her better half
startled 'Katy with the exclamation:
"Mrs. Cameron! Thunder and
lightning! wife, call her Katy, anis
.ion't go into any nonsense of that
ind,"
'1he lady reddened, but said noth-
ing until sho reached the hall, when
she whispered to Katy apologetical-
ly:
"Don't mind it. He is rather ir-
ritable since his illness, and some -
1 itnes makes use of coarse lan-
nage.,,
Maty had been a little frightened at
the outburst, but she liked Mr. Cam-
•ron, notwithstanding, and her heart
vas lighter as she went down to the
library, where Wilford met her at
the door, and taking her on his
ante, led her to his sisters, holding
her back as he presented her, lest
she should assault them as she had
his mother, but Katy felt no de -
::ire to hug the tall, queenly girl
%them Wilford introduced as Juno,
and whose black eyes seemed to read
her through as sho offered her hand
and very daintily kissed her fore-
head, murmuring something about a
welcome to Mew York. Bell came
next ; broad -faced plainer -looting
Dell, who yet had many pretcntions
to beauty, but whose manner, if
possible, was frostier, cooler than
her sister's. Of the two Katy liked
Juno best. for there was about her
a flash and sparkle very fascinating
to one who had never seen anything
01 the kind, and slid not know that
much of this vivacity was the result
of patient study and practice. Katy
would have known they Were high
bred, as the world 'defines high bt•eed-
ing, and something in their 'menner
reminded her of the ladies she had
sten abroad, ladies in whose veins
lordly blood was flowing. She could
not help feeling unebmfortahle En
their pt'esence, especially as she felt
that June's black eyes were on her
constantly Not that the could ever
fneet them looking at her, for they
darted away the instant hers Wets
raised, but sae knew just when they
returned to her again, and how close-
ly they were scanning ber.
"Your wife loo's tired, Will. Let
her, it down," hell said, herself
wheeling the easy -chair nearer to the
fire, while Wilford placed Katy in itis
then, thinking she would get on.bet-
ter if he were not there, he lett
the room and Katy was alone with
her new sisters.
Juno had examined her dress and
found no fault with it, simply be-
CAUSe it wee Parisian make; while
Dell had examined het head. deciding
that there might be something in it,
though she doubted it, but at all
events short hair was very becom-
ing to it, showing all its fine pro-
portions, and half deciding to have
her own locks cut away. Juno had
a similar thought, wondering if it
were the Paris fashion, and if she
would- look so young in proportion
as Katy did were her hair worn en
her neck,
With their brother's departure, the
tongues of both the girls were loos-
ened, and standing near to Katy
they began to question her of what
ho had seen, Juno askingeher if
elle did net hate to leave Italy, and
did not wish herself back aga'n.
hholly truthful, Katy answered,
"Oh, ycr would rather be
there
than home."
"Complimentary to us, very," Dell
murmured audibly in French, blush-
ing as Katy's eyes were lifted quick-
+ ' hers, and she knew she was
understood,
If there was anything which Katy
Iikcd more than another in the way
of study, it was French. Siie had
excelled in it at Canandaigua, and
while abroad had taken great pains
to acquire a pure pronunciation, so
that sho spoke it with a good deal
of fluency, and readily comprehend-
ed Bell.
"I did not mean to be rude," she
said, earnestly. "I liked Italy so
much, and we expected to stay longe
er, but that does not hinder my
lilting to be here. I hope I did
not offend you."
"Certainly not; you aro en honest
little puss," Bell replied placing her
hand caressingly upon the curly head
laying back so wearily on the chair.
"Here in New Yotvk we have a bad
way of not telling the whole truth,
but you will soon be used to it."
"TJsed to not telling tho truth !
Oh, I hope not!" and this time the
blue eyes lifted so wonderingly to
Bell's face, had in them a startled
look.
"Simpleton!" was Juno's mental
comment, while Bell's was, "I like
the child," as sho continued to
smooth the golden curls and wind
them round her finger, wondering if
Katy had a taste for metaphysics,
that being the last branch of science
which she had taken up.
"I suppose you find Will a
pattern husband?" Juno said after a
moment's pause, and Katy replied :
"There never could be a better, I
am sure, and 1 have been very
happy."
"Ilas he never said one cross word
to you all these six months?" was
Juno's next question, to which
Katy answered truthfully, "Never!".
"And lets you do as you please?"
"Yes, just as I please," Katy re-
plied, while Juno continued, "He
must have changed greatly then,
ft om what he used to be; but mar-
riage has probably improved him.
TIo tells you all his secrets, too, I
presume?"
Anxious that Wilford should ap-
pear wellin every light. Katy re-
plied at random, 'Yes, if he has
any."
"Well. then," and in Juno's black
errs there was a wicked look, "per-
haps you will tell me who was or
who is the original of that picture he
guards so carefully."
"What picture?" auel Katy looked
up inquiringly, while Juno, with a
lit tie sarcastic laugh, continued:
"Oh, he has not told you then. I
thoiight be would „riot, he was so
enemy s' hen he saw me with it three
or four years ago. I found it in his
rconl where he htvd accidentally left
it, and was looking at it when he
came in. It was the picture of a
seeing girl who must have been very
beautiful, and I aid not blame Will
for loving her if he ever did, but he
need not have been so indignant at
me for wishing to know who it
was. I nt've7• saw hint so nngry or

ed to decline Mrs. Cameron's invi-

early as possible after it, and Katy

Mark was in a dilemma. Ile had
1:e1,1 his call at Silverton to himself,

'•bout Katy's faurilee and now, when
it rccidcntally came out. he tried to
imal,e Sonic evasive reply, pretend-
ing that he had spoken of it, and
Juno had forgotten. But Juno knew
better, and from that night dated a
strong feeling of dislike for Helm
Lennox, whom she affected to des-
pise, evrn though she could be jeal-
ous of lune Wisely turning the eon-
ver•satioii, efa.rlt asked Katy to play,
and as she seldom refused, she went
at: once to the piano, astonishing
both Mrs. Cameron and her daugh-

formance.' Even Juno complimented
her, saying she must have taken les-
sons very young.
"When I was ten," Katy answered,
"Cousin Morris gave are my first ex-

times."
"Yes, I knew that." Juno replied.
"Does your reeler play as well as

Katy knew that Helen did not, and 1
she answered frankly, "Morris thinks
she does not. She is not as fond
of it as I am." Then feeling that
she must in some way make amends
for Helen, she added, "Dut she
knows a great deal more about '
books. Helen is very smart."
There was a smile on every Hp at

to wonder if he would never go,

Health of Ontario
Diphtheria, typhoid fever acid tuber-
culosis show a considerable increase in
the number of cases reported to the
Provincial health authorities in the re-
turns announced yesterday for the
month of November. With diphtheria
the number of deaths are less, but in
the latter two diseases the deaths also
show an increase. At the present time
only 40 per cent. of the deaths from
tuberculosis are reported weekly, and
when the complete returns are known
it is likely that the figures will be larger
than they now appear.
We wish to call your attention to the
fact that most infectious diseases such
as whooping cough, diphtheria and scar-
let fever are contracted when the child
has a cold. Chamberlain's Cough Rem-
edy will quickly cure a cold and greatly
lessen the danger of contracting these
diseases This remedy is famous for
for its cures of colds. It contains no o-
pium or other narcotic and may be giv-
en to a child with implicit confidence,

CHRISTMAS APPEAL
4 TO THE
PEOPLE OF ONTARIO
FOR
The Hospital for Sick Children
Dear Mr. Editor:—
It would take more space than you
can spare to tell of the good work
done by the Hospital for Sick Chil-
dren, Toronto, for the sick and de-
formed children of this Province. Let
me, in a few words, tell you of the
steady growth of this Hospital.
In the year 1875 there were only six
cots and beds, one nurse, 44 in -patients
and 67 out-patients. In 1912 there
were 250 cots and beds, 64 nurses,
1,294 in -patients alid 17,862 out-
patients.
During the 37 years of the Hos-
pital's existence, 19,370 in-patfesrts
have been admitted, and 133,724 out-
patients have been treated, a total of
153,094, or an average of 4,133 per
year. Of the 19,370 in -patients, 5.49"
were from places outside of Toronto
9,644 of the total in -patients viers.
cured, and 5,711 were improved. Tait
is a great record.
Of the 1,294 in -patients last year, : 41
carne from 218 places outside of Tei
ceito, so that the Hospital is not, a
10.al, but a Provincial Institution.
In the Orthopedic Department in 37
years, nearly 700 boys and girls have
been treated for clubfeet, and about
600 were corrected. Half of these
came from places outside of Toronto,
so surely we have a fair claim for
help from the people of this Province,
The Corporation of Toronto grants
$25,000, not only for the city children,
but towards the maintenance of all
patients in the Hospital, and the citi-
zens of Toronto donate an average of
$15,000 annually to the funds of the
Hospital.
Will you, kind reader, think of what
your money will do? It helps to re-
store health and strength, and gives
sound limbs and straight feet to
crippled boys and girls,
Remember that your pocket -book
must be the Hospital's friend, if the
IIolspital is to be the children's friend.
Remember that Christmas Calls you
to open the purse of your kindness to
th Hospital, so that the Hospital may
op%t the heart of its help to the
children.
Remember that your money can
help the Hospital build a bridge over
Which the feet of little children may
travel on the journey from sorrow to
Joy, from siekneed to health= --a 'o,
from death to life.
Pisses send a dollar, or more if you
ttn :spare It, to Douglas Davidson, the
fieet'etary-Treasurer of the I3oepltttl,
or J. Ross Roberteon, Chairman et the.
',Outdoes. Toronto,
