The Huron Expositor, 1885-04-17, Page 2L.; :2 clu:ERNIE's wipl. : GRAPThlt XXIV. (Continued.) "Hew do I know? 'how does any one knew ?" she said to herself, Somewhat t ambiguously, as she sat among her chil- dren that morning. . "1 may be wrong; I ;it _play never happen, and if it does, --` what is, is best, I suppose." And here she sighed. "1 am thinking of him, of them both, too: much. !After all, what is he to me? a dear friend, a very dear friend ; but my friendship must not cost - me too much. I will be good and reason- able, and not ask more that a fair amount of happiness, It only children who cry : for the moon." If you want to be happy, be goods it is a very safe maxim. Queenie felt quite bright as she walked through the little 'town. True, she had a slight qualm as she passed the turning that led to Church -Stile House; but . she bravely stifled-. the feeling, and hum- med an air as she epeoed her own little gate- How fresh and bright it all looked' The walk was newly gravelled, the little hewn looked trim and green, roses and geranium's bloomed mider the window', a honeysuckle was nicely trained round the por&h. Emmif met her on the threshold, and dragged her M with both •hands * " Oh, Queen, it is all so lovely '-just like a bit out of a story -book. ' To think of you'and me living alone togeth- er in our own little cottage -only you and me!" "1 am so glad you are happy, darling, because that makes me happy," returned her sister, affectionately. i'-' Ah, there ! is our tittle maid, Patience,' as the girl _stood ceurtesying and imoothiog down her clean apron, with a pleased, excited . face., "Cathy -oh, Ms', Clayton, are you here, too ?" as Garth's dark handsome ' face. suddenly beamed on her from the little parlor. "1 could not resist the pleasure of showing you the traesformation," he re- turned, -gayly. "Yu hardly knew the place, do you? Langley and Cathy have done wonders. It is a pretty little home. after all, and quite big enough for you I UV% and 1 hope you. Will be as happy as I the day is tong. ' i "Oh, what .have you all.done ! ex- claimed Queenie, in a stifled voice. Her heart began to beat more 9tiiek1y, an -odd, choking feeling was in her throat. Was this their thought for bet? She could not for her life have spoken another word as she followed Garth0=' nd Cathy ! into theP arlor' , I -I I "We have only put a table; and -some I chairs -rn the front room, it will be handy .for Emmie to learn her lessons and play there.

There was a bird cage and a tand of flowers. 4 pretty print hung ver. -the manteI-piece. Some book - helves with some tempting -looking NMI - VOWS had been fitted up over the corner - dtipboard. A gay little pink -and -white tea service was on the round table. Some • low basket -work chairs gave an air of comfort. I : Outside., the transformation Was still more marked. Instead of the green wilderness, all docks and nettles, there, Was a long green lawn, A broad gi aVel. path bordered the window, a feW flower - beds had been cut in the turf ' . , - 1 "It is too late to do much this season, , ave shall have it very pretty next sum - titer, ' observed Garth, in a cool, matter - 4 -fact tone, as he followed her totthe, window. "We have cut _away a good deal of the turf, as it niade the house so amp a the gravel path is far better:, athy wants you to have a rogkeey and °me ferns in one corner." I • I "It will look very nice,"tis; returned Queenie, absently.. - She had 1, misty ViSi011 after that of a right little kitchen that reminded' her f a doll -house that she had had as a Vhild, and then of two bed -rooms one for herself, and one for Emmie, with a small room for Patience, all as fresh as white dimity could make them. There were flowers. on the toilet table, the little painted ehest of drawers had a sweet perfume ef lavender. Everything was simple and well chosen, and testified to thoughtful and. loving hands. "Oh, Cathy,what em I to say to him? what am I to say to you all?" exclaim- ed poor e pneenie, feeling ready to throw her -arms round her friend's neck and burst i into tears. ; They were in the little entry, and parthwas watching them. . I "Aren't you going to give me -tea after all this ?" he -interposed, in a droll voice. "Here -I have been gardening and carpentering and acting as celd man to the establishment for 1 do, not know how long." - t‘ Tea! oh, I forgot," returned Queenie, dashing the tears from. her eyes, and hurrying to her place. Garth stood near her a- moment as he laroughtlher one of the basket chairs. "Does Our work satisfy "you? have we given you pleasure" he asked, look- ing into her downcast face rather anxi- ously. "Do you think you will be hap- py here, you and Mamie, in your own : little home?" . - , . ' "It will be my own fault if I am not,'" the faltered, holding out her hand, and aueh a leek of pure childish 'gratitude - ht her dark eyes that the youngitnan reddened and turned aside. "Oh, Mr. Clayton, what cart I do to repay you and Langley?" "Bush,." he replied, lightly, and tryiog tto turn it off with a laugh, "there is no talk of payment between friends; it is all understood between us. You are only in our debt a little while, besides, y011are a rich woman " Oh, 1 forgot," he exclaimed' in Such a tone of dismay that the other lookecl quite startled. "1 mean -ah, yes, it will all be right soon," endeavoring to recover herself. - It was a cosy little Meal, after all. Garth, who saw that Queenie's ftuctuat- ing spirits needed tranquilizing, set hun- self to reassure and soothe her, and when he had succeeded,. the three bad one of their tong thoughtful talks. By and by Langley came, and then Ted, and filled the little room to overflowing, SO that they betook themselyes to the porch and the lawn. , ` It was quite late when they separated, and Queene went up to her new little room.

In spite of a certain clim fear that haunted, the background of her memory, her life seemed full of a strange, sweet excitement. The buoy- ancy of youth was • strong within her; the knowledge of her secretwealthgave an intoxicating flavor to everything. As she walked to and fro to her daily week, .she felt like a disguised princess, like the heroine of some Miry story she had read once, spinning in her -woollen gar- ments among the simple peasant -folk.
