him from his thoughts; then with a in the firelight, and the golden
threads in Glady's blown hair shone
out brightly as she bent down over
the wriggling, struggling Jackie,
whose patience was sorely tried by
the slowness with which the chest-
nuts roasted.
"We must take some to mother
and Aunt Margaret in the drawing -
room," said Gladys. "How soon
will they be ready, Stephen?"
"Not yet; besides, I'm certain my
mother wouldn't touch one," said
Stephen, sulkily, "she doesn't un-
derstand that sort of thing."
"My eters! What, not like
cbestnute!" ejaculted Bertie, with
raised eyebrows.
Glady and Stephen laughed a
little; it was not exactly the want
of appreciation of chestnuts which
had given the sullen tone to the
assertion. Mrs Causton's contempt
for the things of this world was not
a little trying to her son, and
Gladys understood that it was this
in general to which he referred.
Certainly it did seem a pity, she
thougbt,that Aunt Margaret should
speak so very unreservedly, and
often so very inopportunely about
religious details, and it seemed
strange that she did not notice how
it repelled and annoyed her son.
Stephen had left Porthkerran
in the previous October, and was
now "walking the hospitals." The
few months of London life seemed
already to have altered him a good
deal; he was older, more decided
and opinionate, even—Gladys fan-
cied—a little less refired than when
he left. But the change which
she noticed chiefly in him was an
increased dislike to Mrs Causton's
peculiar little phrases and her
untimely allusions. His mother
worried him, and he allowed this
to appear far too plainly.
"Let us wish over them," said
Jackie, meditatively, "cos you
know it's quite the first time this
year we've eaten them."
"I know what the Jackal would
wish for," said Bertie, teasingly;
"he'd wish for jam at tea. Wish-
ing's awful bosh, Jackie; y,ou must
not be such a baby."
The corners of Jackie's mouth
were turned down ominously and
nothing but Glady's promptitude
averted a storm.
"Nonsense, Bert, he wouldn't
dp anything of the kind. We
shall wish over them, and dackio
shall have the first that's done,
because he is the youngest. Now,
Jack, a very wise wish: what is it
to be?"
Jackie thought for the space of
thirty seconds, while he tore open
the hot chestnut. Then with the
conscious importance of one who
looks far into the dim future, he
announced:
"I wish to be a tiger hunter in
Africa; I shall not go now; I shall
wait till I'm sixteen, then I shall be
a pian, and I shall shoot all the
animals, except a few which I shall
catch with nets, and bling home to
keep in the nursely."
This wish excited a good deal of
laughter, for the heroic tiger hunter
of the future had been known to
run away from a good sized dog,
and the unkind brothers were skep-
tical as to the bravery his sixteen
years would bring him; but Jackie
knawed his chestnut contentedly,
and joined in the laughter.
Nor did the wishes of the other
boys rival hia in enterprise. Bel tie
wished to be a sailor like Dick,with
a "jolly lot" of climbing to do.—
Harold aspired to an archbiaopric,
because it would be "such a lark to
be cock of the walk, and to have a
big palace to live in." Stephen ex-
pressed a modest wish tat discover
something like the "circulation of

sudden pang and shudder he caught
the words; "Earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust," and he was
of the "men without hope."
The people bowed their heads as
the clergyman read the closing
prayers, but Donovan, with a wild
look in his eyes, stood erect and
motionless; his one longing was for
solitude, and when, after the bene-
diction, another hymn was given
out, be felt that he could bear up
no longer. Turning rapidly away
he strode through the staring crowd.
What did it matter if his action
was misinterpreted? What did he
care if the general sense of decorum
was offended? It mattered little,
for whatever be did was sure to be
considered the wrong thing! "Dust
to dust." How the words haunted
him! Oh, to get away somewhere
from his anguish—away from the
cruel world with its harsh judg-
ments—to lose himself in darkness!
He rushed on wildly through the
church -yard, past the long line of
carriages, along the snowy road to
the manor. He was mad enough
and miserable enough for any des-
perate deed, but whatever his in-
tentions had been they were frus-
trated, for his physical strength
gave way; he sunk down exhaust-
ed on the floor of a little arbor in
the manor grounds.
He was roused at length by a
soft stir in the place; then came a
low whine, and, looking up, be saw
Waif beside him, his round brown
eyes full of tears.
"Ale! you understand, do you, old
fellow?" he exclaimed, faintly.
He allowed the dog to lick his
face and hands for a minute or two,
then, as the carriages were heard in
the drive, he started up; he knew
that Dr L—and one or two other
visitors would return to lunch, and
though he shrunk painfully from
seeing them, he felt that be ought
so go in. Waif's loving devotion
had soothed him. Ashamed of the
longing to end his life which had al-
. moat overmastered him, he strugg-
led to his feet, patted the dog, and
made his way to the drawing room,
there to do what he felt to be his
duty in the way of talking to the
visitors. Well for the world that
it is not all made up of logically
consistent men and women, well at
any rate for the Donoyans of the
world that there are children and
dumb animals who love and sym-
pathize without question, without
reservation.
Blessed litt'e if! You have
done a better daywie k than all
the throng of people in the church
and church -yard; you have been the
saving of your master. There is
indeed One
"Who by low creatures leads to heights
of love."
So, Waif, take courage and keep
your eyes open—this is your day;
men have for the present little to
Bay to Donovan—they shrink from
him; it is clearly intended that you
should see to him; and in doing so
you will be following in the steps
of those other dogs who tended the
deserted beggar as he lay at the
rich man's gate.

Poor Gladya's heart sunk; that
indefinite expression "a time," rang
unpleasantly in her ears, and the
thought of being weeks or perhaps
months, away from home, was ter-
rible to her. Then, too, though she
was fond of Mrs Oauston, she was
often a good deal annoyed by her
peculiarities; and if these were
noticeable in the sort of intercourse
which they had at Porthkerran,
what would they not be in the
close intercourse of daily compan-
ionship? It was in rather a choked

gave them a 'good time.' "
"Dirty little children—ugh !" ex-
claimed Bertie in disgust.
"Beastly!" said the archbishop of
the future, laconically.
"Oh ! if you want dirty children,"
said Stephen, "come to Lambeth.
You'll see a goodish few there."
As he spoke, the door was opened
by Mrs Tremain. "Ylust I go, mother?"
"All in the gloaming," she said, "It is, of course, dear, for you

too, that the very fact of hayi

hardly gave her the choice of doi

easy, comfortable, home keepi

"`That is hardly a fair way of pi

want to keep you; for Mrs Cr uston

"For my own!" exclairued Glace

"Yes, quite for your own, dee

should see a little more of life; t
change will be good for you in eve

"You think me narrow-minded
said Gladys, pouting.
"Yea, dear, I do—a little," sai
Mrs Tremain, laughing.. I don
think yet; have much sympath
with people you don't agree with
and the best cure foe that will be t
getout of the old grooves for
little time."
"But you surely don't want m
to learn to think differently, and t
come home again not agreeing wit
you and papa?" questioned Gladys
"'That sounds like only shiftin
your narrowness in a new direction.
"But Aunt Margaret is the Har
rowest person imaginable;" (said
Gladys, perversely. "I shall grow
like her."
"I think not," said Mrs Tremain
"you would more likely be driven
to the opposite extreme. But that
changed the sub- is not exactly what I want to bap
pen. I want you to learn to see her
real goodness,i and to sympathize
with that, trying to pass over the
little things which annoy you. Be-
sides, you will see the other people;
the world of Richmond is larger
than the world of Porthkerran."
Gladys was not convinced all at
once, but before many days had
passed her decision was made.
Home was to be renounced for six
long months,! and a new phase—
lodgings?" not the least arduous—of her edu-
cation was to be begun under Mrs
Caoston's guidance.
Her stay at Richmond was cer-
tainly productive of some good re-
sults. Stephen found his house
visits attractive, and never failed to
appear on Saturday afternoons.
Mrs Causton enjoyed her bright,
cheerful companion, and Gladys
herself, in spite of unconquerable
homesickness, found much that was
pleasant in her new life, and for
many reasons never in after years
regretted the decision she had made.
She saw then, with the strange
thrill of joy and wonder which
such realizations bring, that on thia
decision and on this visit to London
hinged almost all that was most
dear to her in the future, and that,
unconsciously, she had then taken
the first step toward the attainment
of her wish over the chistuut roast-
ing.
as he dragged"ills mother to a chair,
and took up his position on her
knee, to which, in Nesta's absence,
his right was indisputable. Mam-
my, do eat this one, it is such a
beauty."
"Aunt tilargaret, do you like this
low chair?" said Gladys, as Sirs
Causton joined the group gather-
ed round the fire -place.
"Thank you, my dear, no. I
think I will sit a little distance; as
I must face the cold outside in a
minute, it is well not to enjoy too
much of the warmth. You have a
very large fire."
This last sentence had something
of reproach in it, and it stimulated
Stephen to a quick rejoinder.
"Prime, isn't it?"
"Still," continued Mrs Caustoo,
"in such a severe winter it seems
almost incumbent on one not to be
too lavish in the coals, which are
so much needed by the poor."
"It doesn't make the poor people
any warmer for us to be cold," said
Stephen, with a suppressed growl.
"Nurse always makes up big
fires," said Gladys. "She says its
more economical than al ways feed-
ing a little one. Won't you have
a chestnut, auntie?"
"No, thank you, my dear. It is
not more than two hours till dinner-
time, and I do not think it is well
to eat between meals."
The chestnut eaters, conscious of
a wicked enjoyment, munched on
in silence; the ideal of a possible
abolition of all promiscuous and in-
formal "feelings" between meal-
times was not to be tolerated for an
instant.

ject.
"And you really go back to
London to -morrow, Stephen? You
have had a very short holiday.
"Yes; still a. few days is better
than nothing," he answered, tilting
his chair backward and forward.
"I only hope, Stephen, that you
will work well," said his mother,
anxiously. "These long winter ev-
enings are excellent for reading."
Stephen yawned.
"Do you like your
asked Mrs Tremain.
"Oh! they are awfully dull," said
Stephen. "Still they're near the
hospital, and that is a great thing."
"And your landlady, seems a
thoroughly nice woman," said Mrs
('auston, who had taken the room
herself, and had been favorably
impressed by the four large family
Bibles placed as ornaments on the
conventional lodging -house drawing -
room table, as well as by the con
versation of the landlady .
"She is well enough," said Steph-
en, "when she is sober."
Mrs Causton. lamented the de-
ceitfulness of appearances, and said
she would look out a tract which
Stephen could give to the poor
woman. The younger boys, weary-
ing of this talk began to grow
noisy, and it was a relief to every
one, including Stephen, when Mrs
Causton said it was time for thein
to go home.
When Gladys came back to. the
school -room, after seeing the last
of the two visitors, she found her
mother alone; the children had die -
parsed to play, and Mrs Tremain
sat silently by the fire, which had
sunk rather low.
"A few more coals, I think, dear,"
she said, as Glady's closed the door,
"and then, as the room is quiet, I
want to have a little talk with you."
Gladys put on the coals quickly;
her mother'b tone had made her feel
anxious, for though their "talks"
together were many, they were not
generally spoken of beforehand in
this way. Was there some new
arrangement to be made; some diffi-
culty to be discussed? Could there
be bad news from Dick? Gladys
tormented herself with a variety of
suppositions, and lifted up such an
anxious face to her mother that Mrs
Tremain could not help smiling.
"Did my voice sound so very
serious," she said, "that you conjure
up all sorts of evil in a minute?"
"Oh ! mother, how did you know
I had ?"
Mrs Tremain smoothed the anx-
ious,questioning forehead by way of
reply; then she began, without fur-
ther delay, to relieve her child's
mind.
"Nothing is wrong at all, dear;
but your aunt Margaret has; been
talking this afternoon to your father
and mo. You know that she has
taken a little villa at Richmond for
the next six months; she wants to
bo nearer Stephen, and, though she
cannot live in London, she thinks
that, if she were there, Stephen
could spend his Sundays with her.

at first felt sorry for Iii and had
left him unmolested; bat it lis ou
thing to sympathize with a peril=
in the fit a : poignancy of hie grief
ant: quite another to understand o
feel for his prolonged sorrow.
As the mouths passed on, and
Donovan's grave, stern face still re-
mained unaltered, Ellis began to
feel aggravated; he saw little enough
of his step -eon, but what he did see
was quite sufficient to annoy hint.
Donovan would perhaps come
down to breakfast, then he would
disappear for the rest of the day,
for long solitary rides or walks
seemed to be his only relief. At
dinner he would be in his usual
place again, but would rarely utter
a single word, and in the evening,
though he was decidedly Ellis'e
superior at every game, be was too
gloomy and taciturn to be a pleas-
ant companion. The elder man's
dislike and impatience began to
grow uncontrollable; he found him-
self looking out eargerly for an op-
portunity of picking a quarrel.
As he sat looking thoughtfully
across the room at his companion,
doubts were suddenly resolved by
an unexpected turn of affairs.
Donovan threw down his paper,
and, turning round to his stepfath-
er, asked, abruptly:
"When do you go up to townl"
/Next week, I helieve," said
Eills, knocking the ashes out of hie
pipe and refilling it.
There was a'pause. Then Dono-
van continued.
"I have been thinking over things
for the last few days, and I've made
up my mind that this sort of life
won't do for me any longer. I must
begin to work at something."
"A. most commendable decision,"
said Ellis. "And that is the long-
est sentence I have heard from you
for many months."
Donovan knew from the tone of
his speech that his step -father was
in a quarrelsome humor. He frown-
ed, but continued, with some addi-
tional constraint in his manner:
"Since we are agreed, then, per-
haps it would be as well if we ar-
range matters before leaving Oak-
dene. I am thinking of going into
chambers and studying for the bar;
if you and my mother will settle
my allowance, there is nothing that
need keep me here longer.'

How long were things to go on
in their present state? That was
the question a bleb, as spring ad-
vanced, Ellis Farrant continually
asked himself. One afternoon, to.
ward the end of May, the thought
pressed itself upon him more pee-
tinaciously than ever. He was in
the smoking -room, leaning back
meditatively in his chair, from time
to time reading a few lines in the
Sporting News, but more often
looking discontentedly and perplex-
edly at his step -son, who bad drawn
up bis chair on the other side of the
hearth, and whose fine profile was
c',early masked out against the light
as he bent over his newspaper.—
Two days ago Donovan had come of
age, yet Ellis had not carried out
his preconceived plan of revenge.
In the past he had always intended
to have the final breach with his
step-aon on the very day that his
guardianship ended, but when' the
time actually came hie heart failed
him—no fitting opportunity pre-
sented itself. Instead of quarrelling
with him, he drank his health at
dinner, played billiards with him
most of the evening, and was as
good natured and friendly as pos-
sible. But, although the few months
