window and recognized the grocer's
cart.

But before Mr.. Seaburn could ans

'Heury, what have you sent home

tic had left the door.
Some nice old brandy replied
Henry.
Cora Seaburn glanced at the clock
and then looked down upon the floor.
There was cloud upon her fair brow,
and it was evident that something lay
heavily upon her heart. Presently
she walked to the wall and pulled the
bell cord and the summons was answer
cd by the chambermaid.
Are George and Charles in the room?'
Yes, ma'am.'
Tell them it is school time.'
The girl went out, and in little
while two boys entered the sitting room
with their books under their arms and
their caps in their hands. They were
bright happy, healthy little fellows,
with goodness and truth stamped upon
their rosy faces, and tho light of free
consciences cleaning in their sparkling
eyes. George was thirteen years Of
age, and Charles eleven, and certainly
those two parents had reason to be
proud of them: The boys kissed their
mother, gave happy good morning to
their father and then went away to
school.
