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

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

" 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

and by Langley came, and then Ted, and
filled the little room to overflowing, SO
that they betook themselyes to the porch

The days Passed very 'tranquilly and
pleasantly after this for the inhabitants
of the cottage.

• Queenie had regained: her ;brightness
in a greet measure. 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.
