thoughtful. One afternoon he went up
stairs to change his everyday coat for a
better one.
"Where are you goingPn cried Mrs.
HArbury. quickly, as he came down
again.
: Only into Northaml | shall be
home early"
"Into Northam! It's not market

.Of course you will. told you so
all along. But do wonder you could
not wait until tomorrow.

has not time to do it. Anyway | thought
| I'd go in this afternoon"
II should like to go with you,
| James!''
Mr.. Harbury received the impulsive
wish with a blank look, and had no
ready answer at hand.
:" want to buy new silk gown, and
1 to order a best cap, and ever so many
other things. Yes; [ will go with you,
James. / won't be five minutes getting
ready"
But-Dinah Ann-not to-day. I
can't take you this afternoon. You shall
go tomorrow, instead"
Why can't you take mep"
Business" he shortly replied. And,
his gig being just then brought round,
| White Bess in the shafts, he got into it
! without more ado and drove away,
calling out goodbye to his wife.
"I'Il be even with you, Mr.. James,"
nodded she.
The sun was setting when he drove in
again and round to the stable yard.
Leaving his horse and gig with Evan, he
was crossing to the house when his at
| tention was caught by huge volume of
black smoke putting out of the chimney
of a narrow building that was formerly
made to serve as a brew-house and wash
house, until the larger one was built.
As it was out of use now, was not in
fact used for any purpose whatever, or
entered by anybody from months end
to months end, Mr.. Harbury naturally
thought of fire. He rushed to it like
madman.
In the fireplace under the furnace
fire blazed away, upon which more coal
had recently cen thrown. Whittier than
death James Harbury made one frantic
move toward it, while yell OF what
really seemed like terror broke from
him. Another yell succeeded, and still
another; then he collapsed utterly, and
fell upon low wooden stool in wild
despair.
.Good heavens!n exclaimed Dinah
Ann, who had been STOPPING over some
blankets in the far corner. What in
the World is the matter! is IL spasms
James9 Let me run for the camphor."
.Camphor, indeed" exclaimed the
unhappy man. Bring poison, rather.
Poison: You've ruined me-

suggestion. Let me rub you. James.
