that he should want her to be his wife,
but the puzzle seemed a pleasant one to
her, as be gathered ifrom the expression
of her face. '
" Papa ad mercerise will be very
angry with you,",was the first thing she
said.
"Kathleen, you know they love you
already as if you were their own chill;
besides, if all the world were angry with
me I shouldn't care so long as you were
pleased. Are you pleased that I love
you, and want you for a wife, Kath-
leen ?"
" Pleased, that you love me? Yes.
Pleased that you want me for your
wife? Doubtful! You see it's an up-
set, Rupert; we've been told all our
lives to love each other like brothers and
sisters and ',we've done es we were told.
It seems unfair on Arphie, that you and
I should contemplate making a change

slavishly in love ---he would sometimes
profess to be entertained by the semi -
sentimental flirtation which she carried
on openly with Archie.
"But it's playing with fire; Kathleen,"
he said to her warningly, once or twice.

is unconscious of treachery toward me,

"1 will take care that 'Archie doesiet

"1 more than love you I worship
you," he answered. warmly; "but I love
my brother too."
"Then cease to wrong me by being
idly jealous of him," she said, coldly;
and, for the first time sincelthe existence
of their understanding, she left him an-
grily, and wouldanot even give him the
parting kiss of peace he craved for.
It added to his uneasiness this day,
when his mother — always.; on the alert
when her boys were concerned—spoke to
him about his brother I
"Has it struck you that Archie is get-

his whole frame trembled under the first

answered :

"But were not engaged. 1 I'm bal-

you are. I,Ve'd better not be engaged;
we'd much 'better not think of marriage,
Rupert; let us go on as we were before,
and don't iptroduce complicatiens."
"I can't go on as I did before ; 'you've
grown too Lear to me for that," the young
man said, earnestly. "It must be one
thing or the other now, Kathleen; I
must either Igo away, 'and not see you
again, or you must promise to be my
1
wife."
"You shell not go away, and I won't
quite give you the promise; yet, I may,
by-and-by, ,when I've thought about it a
little, and got used to it."
"Don't trifle with me; don't lead me
on for nothing," he pleaded. '
"Don't be dictatorial," she laughed;
"If I am worth having, I'm woeth wait-
ing for." Then she changed her 'manner
abruptly, and said pleadingly, "Sup-
posing I say thatit shall be as you wish
in good time, will you do me a little fa-
vor in return ?" ' I
"My (laI ling ! ask me anything, any-

"It's only a little thing that I ask, Ru-
pert. Daralt say anything about it to
mamma or any one yet; let it be our

She held her rosy mouth toward him,
and was ad irresistibly coaxing that, as
he kissed and. clasped her to him'he
granted th little favor she prayed for,
though it was sorely against the grain
that he di i .
"Everything must be as you like, my
own Kathl en ; but I don't like anything
underhand. I abhor secrecy, and. to ob-
serve it toward the dear mother, too!
We've always told her everything, you
know ; doe't let us begin deceiving her
now. It veill make her so happy to hear
it; let me tell the mother." •
But Kat leen was resolute. It must be
kept secre for a time, for as long as she
liked, or she would have Inothing to say
to him ! And, as he loved her so, he gave
in to her whim, though his judgment
was opposed to what he believed to be a
"motiveless deception." And affairs
were in this unsatisfactory state when
Archie came home from the camp at the
Curragh, en six week's leave.
The maintenance of the secret involv-
ed a greet iqeal more restraint' and cir-

plated, when unadvisedly giving in to
Kathleen's caprice: The fraternal re-
lation had Ceased to exist; and, on pain
of her displeasure, he dared not betray
that other and more tender: ones had
been instituted. Accordingly a certain

Happiness at Home.
It has been Firsid by a philosopher that
every cross word uttered or angry feeling
experienced, leavesits unerring mark on
the face. This can be verified by a close
observation of the countenances of those
around us ,whose tempers and habits are
familiar to us, and its truth thus estab-
lished. And. if the lineaments of the
face show traces of such things, how
muPh more must the general, moral and
mental system" be affected by them ?
Nothing is more susceptible of proof than
the statement that one angT7 word brings
on another, except the i good old biblical
saying; that "a Soft answer turneth away
wrath." -
people really ppssessed of a sin-
cere desire to do right in all things, al-
low 'themselves to fall into the habit of
using ungentle and even 'unkind words
to those around them, when, if their at-
tention were called to the fact in the
right way, they would be astonished at
themselves. They mean no harm, but
they do harm, both to themselves and to
their associates: More especially is this
harm perceptible in the family circle,
where the developing child :is the proud
imitator of all the acts of its elders, and
particularly those which are pronounced
and noticeable. : Here is where the care-
lessly sown seeds of ungentleness are
eventually ripened into a hervest of
harshness, and [too often gathered in a
crop of vice and crime. Too frequently
are -these sins of the parents visited upon
the children, even of the third and fourth
generation. ' i
This all results from a lack of full ap-
preciation of the meaning of happiness at
home. Happiness is made, not born. It
may with reason be argued that it is an
impossibility to be happy at home when
one is crushed by the cares of life—by
difficulties crowding on every side. But
that brings us to the very point we are
seeking, and leads us to repeat that hap-
piness is made,' not born.

A Romance from Real Life.
I
When Her Majesty visited the London
hospital last year, the ne spapers nar-
rated an incident which J showed her
sympathy with the poorest of her sub-
jects. A little girl, bea.ring that the
Queen was visiting the building, express-
ed the wish, "Oh ! if I: sees the Queen
I shall get well." Her Majesty, hearing
of this, visited 1 the ward in which the
little girl lay, although such was con-
trary to the routine of the day, and bend-
ing over the sufferer and smoothing her
hair, said gently, "My darling, I hope
you will be a little better now." The
short life of that little girl was full of
incidents, which have been woven into
a story full of interest entitled "Scamp,"
and by L. T. Meade, author of "Lettie's
Last Home." t details the manner of
life and trials f the waifs of London.
The story is we11 told, and the conclud-
ing chapters of ,thrilling interest.
