"Oh. no. mol" cried Lilias eagerly.
Dorcas and Keturah sat knitting on either

What are We waiting for?"
And Mr.. and Mrs. Fame were compelled
10 seat themselves without loss OF time at
the table, without an opportunity to re-
move the dust Of travel, or to refresh them
selves after their journey. Mr. Fame had
indeed ventured to say something about
towels and fresh water but Liliss whis-
pered:
Never mind just now, dear. Pa will be
so put out, and Grace and Keturah like
p~unctualty. For this once, do oblige

Second Adventist reigned supreme, and
Liiiss hardly dared to express an opioion
Of her own IN their presence.
But he made no comment, to Lilias' great

Aunt Grace sat down and thought it over.

years in piece and quietness, to be blown
