sad the darkness had been SO intense
that even Doris eager eyes had moi
been able to catch glimpse of the roar
ing, RESTLESS waves, TO whose rhythm
thunder the gixl had dropped to sleep,
after her duties we're over.
She was little, presty, dainty crea'
tura full of romance and idealism, and
yet she was only a lady's maid-Mand
Berangyr's maid.
And not from necessity, either; but
because Doris would rather see life, and
have her girlish romance as Miss Beran'
gyrs maid, than to live her dull event'
less life, at the little cottage in the an
HQunted country village where Mis-,
Berangyr had picked her up--a Lie
whose chiefest events were the annual
apple butter-msking or decOrous husk'

Stood 1t would be better for Doris to
have her own way, and go out into the
beautiful world that to the girl seemed
like some fairy garden, on whose thresh'

Doris TO go, even as Miss Berangyr's
maid, than to stay quietly and daily al
the country home, with The light daily
dimming in her eyes and the footsteps
hourly losing their elastic t1oad.

had accepted the position which Miss
Berangyr offered, and, in almosS an
ecstasy of delight, had biddcn Aantie
Helen and Uncle Robert good-by, and
John Tampiel grave, niddie-aged J John
Tampier, who had loved butterfly Doris
ever since he could remember her at
all, and whom butterfly Doris had
teased, scolded, fascinated and snubbed
ever since she could remember, and
cared about Lin az though he had been
her big brother.
He was thoroughly gooS-one of
those rare, swee&-natured mon, who
know so exactly how Ecman ought TO
be used, and trusted her accordingly.
he was grave, quiet, educated snd a
thorough gentlenan in manner, Mood-

He was the only son OF well-.o-do
gray-hended old gaitleman falno,,
whom people he'd dubbed "Judgo" for
reasons donbtless difficult to explain.
Ru4 bocallse he was not dashiug and
dandyish, and as handsome as an i'm
possible hero In three. volume novel,
this silly butterfly Doris Of mine, who
WIS 30 determined abe vas born to have
romanoe, would have none OF his at

Tampier 80 grave and earnest; Doris so
sunny and esear to be off, and laugh
