"Gbo 1 heavens 1 what do you ::can ?" " Yes, from infidelity—that utter and hopeless disbelief in one's fellaw-crea- tures. iwhen, I find myself growing cyaical,1 I just say, ' There are Caleb and • Cathy : the world cannot be wholly bad with two such good creatures in it,' and that thought rests me." • i "Ay, ay, it is too old ahead on young she:tilde -s ; people don't often think and say such things.

"Ay, I had a brother once," returned Caleb, Ireandly ; " he was deformed, poor fe _low, a huuch-back ; but every one liked Joe.

Bid Caleb good -night and let us go." " HoW dark and wet it is !" cried poor Emmie,I as the door of her child's para- dise clOsed behind her, and the gray frown -in r portico of Granite Lodge loom- ed on why mit and lea ours," " Huth, pet.

It is dark, and no one will see us."[ "Yes, just for fun," returned the child, ia[earily ; "if you are not tired, Queenie, Mind you put me down when you are i tired." "Of course, you are so dreadfully heavy,' but the little joke died away into something like a sob as she lifted the thint weak figure in her -strong young arms, and struggled bravely through the storm. r distant vision.

Queenie was cheering herself sturdy faahion, but she turned' a pale, iinevotheless, when the • se'rva entered and bade her follow him.

So speaking, with less anger in my. voice Than sorrow, I rose quickly to depart." Carwen Leigh. Queenie Marriott was right in assert- ing that she never failed to undertake asaything to which she had really made up her mind. Strong impulses were rare with her ; but now and then they gained lthe mastery, and overbore all dread cf opposing obstacles. At such times the forces of her mind lay dormant; argument could not shame, persuasion, even conviction, availed nothing. In such moods Queenie was inexorable, and triumphed in the exercise of her self- will. " I have nothing to lose in this mat- ter, and all to gain," she had said. to Cathy. On the afternoon orthe next half -holiday she had arrayed herself, with the stoicism of a young Spartan, and, with the help of feminine art and canning arrangement, had even given a certain style to her shabby garments. "No one could take you for anything but a. lady," Cathy said, as she watched her, half emiously and half enviously; "when people look at you they will not notice what you wear, I mean. I wish I knew where you learnt deportment, my dear Madam Dignity. There," as Queenie buttoned her old gloves with a - resolute air, "I.-eannot even lend you my pretty new ones, they would be ever so iitich too large."
