heard a soft tap at my door, and little
May entered. She, too, had been crying,
and, when she saw traces of tears on my
face, she came gently up to me, and crept
into my lap.
DO you love father, too?' she asked, in
her frank, simple manner.
Yes, darling, | love him. answered,
and | want TO love you all, and be loved
by you, Now he is gone am very sad
and lonely. VIII you not love me MayH
The child kissed me gravely; but did
not reply to the question.
Aunt Jane sent me TO call you TO dinner,
she said, slipping from my arms.
When we had finished this lonely meal,
and the children and Jane had gone up
stairs 10 the afternoon lessons, | visited one
or two rooms which had attracted my OBJ
scryaton the day before. One was the
attic chamber where had noticed heap
of old packages which | wished TO exam

pictures, some solled, some with broken
frames, but which, on examination, found
worthy to be rubbed up and newl y framed

woman. The soft auburn hair and hazel

CHAPTER III.

Six months passed rapidly, and how
pleasantly my vivid recollection of them
testlfies. As The village schools taught but
little, and | was fully competent 10 instruct
the children myself, | spent three hours of
every morning i'll study with them. Two
afternoons In a week devoted TO MAYS
music and Ellen's drawing; on the other
afternoons they were free TO practice at
home, or TO visit their village friends, and
receive visits in return. Our evenings
were spent in reading, and in the three
months of that summer they gained more
intelligence than IN years before. Their
interest in knowledge was aroused. and
whatever they read was made a subject of
free and cheerful conversation, thus fixing
important facts in their memories, and
training their minds to habits of active
thought. Ellen adorned the walls of our
sitting room and little library with several
very fine crayon pictures, and May added
to our evening readings the charms of her
sweet singing.
AT Christmas time we expected Captain
Fleming. With what glad pride look
ed upon my happy group, and thought Of
the gratitude he would feel when he saw
their improvement and Witnessed their af.
fecIion for myself. looked forward with
beating heart to the meeting.
1t was a fortnight before Christmas, and
we were already deeply engaged in prep
aration for the merry season. Green
boughs. with which to decorate the rooms,
were being made into festoons and garIands,
and in sly corner the Christmas tree was
waiting It's hour of triumph. Ellen was
hurrying TO finish picture of Santa Claus
to hang over the Christmas tree, and May
was practising necessarily, Let us love
