CHAPTER Ky.
MR. wHIrrLEsrArF aons our ro pINNER

MR.. wBITTLEsrAFF GOES OUT TO DINNER.
This would b. her last opportunity.
So Mary told herself rs she got out of
the carriage at Mr. Halls front door.
1t was made manifest to her by such u
speech that he did not expect she should
do so, but looked upon her doing so as
within the verge Of possibility. She
could still do 1t, and yet not encounter
his disgust or his horror How terrible
was the Importance TO herself, and, as
she believed, to the other man also.
Was she not justified in so thinkingp
Mr.. Gordon had come home, travelling
a great distance, at much risk to his
property, at great loss of time, through
infinite trouble and danger, merely to
ask her TO be his wife Had a letter
reached her from him but a week ago
bidding her 10 come, would she not
have Zone rough all the danger and
all the lrpuble? How willingly would
she have gone, IL was the one thing
that she desired; and as far as she could
understand the signs which he had
given, it was the one thing which he de-
sired. lie hal made his appeal to
that other man, and, as far as she
could understand the signs which bad
reached her, had been referred with
confidence 10 her decision. Now she
was told that the chance of changing
her mind was still in her power.
The matter was one of terrible i'm
portance; but was its importance to
Mr.. Whilllestaif as great as to John
Gordon? She put herself altogether
out of the question. She acknowledged
TO herself, with I. false humility, that
she was nobody she was a poor
woman living on charity. and was not
to be thought of when the position of
these two men was taken into consid-
GRAFTON. It chanced that they both
wanted her. Whicl wanted the mosta
Which Of the two would want her for
the longest? To which would her SER
vices be of the greater avail in assisting
him to his happiness? Could there be
a doubt? Was il not in human nature
that she should bind herself to the
younger man, and with him 90 through
the world, whether in safety or in dan
gerP
She knew that she had made up her
mind on the matter. Mr.. Gordon would
in all probability have no opportunity
of saying another word to her. But let
him say what word he might, it should
be in vain. Nothing that he could say,
nothing that she could say, would avail
anything. II this other man would re-
lease her-then indeed she would be re-
leased. But there was no chance Of
such release coming. In truth, Mary
did not know how near the chance was
to her-or rather, how near the chance
had been. He had now positively made
up his mind, and would say not word
further unless she asked him. If Mary
said nothing to John Gordon on this
evening, he would take an opportunity
before they left the house to inform Mr..
Hail Of his intended marriage. When
once the word should have passed his
mouth, he could not live under the
stigma Of a second Catherine Bailey.

GRANDMoTHER's PICTURE.

1t Is an ancient picture dmmed by years
A fair old face, with bands of silver hair
Z SmOothed underneath cap of snowy lace
such as our grandsires wives were won't TO
wears
1t smiles upon me from its tarnished frame
with NJ The od-time tenderness and love;
think there can not be sweeter look
On angel faces in the world above.
1t brings me back the JOY of days that came
Before my life was touched with care OF
guile;
Fair memories of the past, us dim, as dear,
As yonder fading face and fading smile;
IL brings me back my childhoods happy
hours,
Dew, scent and blossom, wind and song and
sun,
Red supsot skies and shadow-purplcd eyes,
And gentle lullabes when day was done.
II brings me back tho hush of summer moons
The shadowed grass, the murmur OF the
bees;
The idle clouds at anchor in the blue,
The white and gold of daisies on tho leas;
II brings me back the silence of the night
Set thick with stars that twinkled taint and
high,
The Groom of birds within the dusky, woods,
The silver moonlight over fields of rye.
see again tho kitchens sanded floor,
The vine-eaf shadows trembling on the sill;
The grassy yard alight with butteycups,
The glimpse of sky above 1t, blue and still.
see the ancient presses, set away
In shaded chambers that j used to know,
And smell the faint, sweet lavender and
thyme
That wither on the linens folded snow.
see the surllowers droop beside tho well,
j hear the robin whistle to his mate,
pluck the poppes and the margods
That fringe the sunny borders by the gate
say my prayers beside silken knee,
Kiss dear old face that long ago,
With Gods own peace upon its pallid lines,
Was laid to rest where summer roses blow
Dear saint II ever were hard and cold,
EstranRed from GOD by bitter loss and pain
The love and trust within those tender eyes
Would bring me back my childhoods faith
again.
Quaint little picture craven by the sun,
Slowly your lines are fading from my eye,
But on my heart the sunshine of the past
Has craven picture that can never die.

MIR. wHITTLgsTAPF Is GOING OUT TO DINNER.
There's an invitation come asking
us to dine at Little Arlesford to-day"
This was said soon after breakfast by
Mr.. Whittlestaff to Mary Lawrie, on
the day after Mr.. Gordon's coming.

''3y no means. want you to become
intimate with the girls, who are good
girls"
"But Mr.. Gordon Is there"
"Exactly. That is just what 1 want.
It will be better that you and he should
meet each other, without the necessity
of making scene" From this It may
be understood that Mr.. Whittlestaff had
explained to Mary as much as he had
Thought necessary Of what had occurred
between him and John Gordon, and that
Marys answers had been satisfactory
TO his feelings. Maryhad told him that
she was contented with her lot in life,
as Mr.. Whittlestaff had proposed 1t for
her. She had not been enthusiastic
but then he had not expected 1t. She
had not assured him that she would
forget John Gordon. He had not asked
her. She had simply said that II he
were satished-so was she. 81 think
that with me, dearest, at any rate, you
will be SAFE" 81 am quite sure that |
shall be safe," she had answered. And
that had been sufficient !.

from this that he had sought fox no an

A flower Of this plant, carefully preserved

n the rooms Of the Connecticut Historical
Society, where IL divides the honors with

titan passengers of the Mayfower. A
IT'LL more famous blossom Is preserved in
he library Of Trinity College. 1t is from
plant owned by the poet, Mrs. Lydia II.

ihe fragile and fragrant blossoms ever
preserved, and is highly priced here be-
,ause Of the donor, one of the most gifted

"For the young lady's sake. A lady
always prefers young gentleman tc
an old one. Only think what you'd
feel if you were married to Mr.. Whit
tlestaf'p"
"Oh, Montagu! how can you talk
sucn nonsense?"
81 don't suppose you ever would,
because you are not one Of that sort of
young ladies. don't suppose that
Mary Lawrie likes il herself; and there
fore I'd break the match OFF in q mo.
ment il | could. That's what | call
good-natured.
After lunch they all went off to the
RoOkery, which was at the other side
of the park from Gar Wood. II was a
beautiful spot, lying at the end of the
valley, through which they had to get
out from their carriage, and to walk
for half = mile. Only for the sake OF
doing honor to Miss Forester, they
would have gone on foot. But as it
was, they had all the six horses among
them. Mr. Gordon was put up on one
of the young ladies steeds, the squire
and the parson each had his own, and
Miss Evelina was also mounted. as Mr..
Blake had suggested, perhaps with the
view ~ the capture OF Mr.. Gordon.
'As it's your first day." whispered Mr..
Blake TO Katie, ''it is so nice, think,
that the carriage and horses should all
come out. OF course there is nothing
in the distance, but there should be u
respect shown on such an occasion. Mr..
} Hall does do everything of this kind
just as it should be-"
81 suppose you know the young lady
who is coming here tonight" said
Eveina TO Mr.. Gordon.
\ "0h, yes; knew her before l went
Fabroad."
"But not Mr. WhittlestaG?"
al had never met Mr.. Whittlestaff,
though / had heard much of his good
ness.
"Anl now they are to be married.
Does II not seem 10 you 10 be very
hard?n
''Not in the least. The young lady
seems 10 have been left by her father
and step mother without any engage
ment, and, indeed. without any provis-
ion. She was brought here, in the first
place, from sheer charity, and | can
certainly understand that when she was
here Mr.. Whittlestall should have ad-
mired her,"
That is a matter of course" said
Eveina.
"Mr Whittlestaff is not at all too old
to fall in love with any young lady.
This is pretty place-a very lovely
spot. think like il almost bette
than Gar Wood" Then there was no
more said about Mary Lawrie until they
all rode back to dinner.

"IT WAS the CAT"

The other night, family residing
out on the plains, were rendered very
nervous by strange sounds about
their premises. These were con-
tinued so long, and were so peculiar,
that the theory of burglars seemed
hardly tenable. By-and-by search
was made almost all over the house,
without solving the mystery. In the
morning, the cause of the distur-
bance was discovered in the back
yard, constituting a comical sight.
A cat had found an opened can of
some acceptable Wand in a barrel,
had thrust her head into the aper-
ture, and had been unable to free
herself. When set at liberty, poor
pussy didn't stop to thank them.
