"Luella is right said Mrs. Wynhart

Winifred, soft and yielding though
she was in other matters, was most true
and loyal to Jack Jellife, in spite of the
vehement opposition she met with from
her family.
So matters stood, one bloomy, blowy
April evening, when Winifred went
out under the crimsoning naples of the
woods to meet Jack Jellife. For Mrs
Wynhart had made herself so obtrusive-
ly disagreeable that all hopes of pleasant
evenings by the Preside were abandoned.
Jack Jelliffe was there before her.
"Well, lassie," he exclaimed, joyously,
as she came up, "Pve been waiting for
you this half-hourl And thought you

Mrs Wynhart was cutting out littls

And Mrs. Wynhart did so, from the
bottom of her heart. Neither was it an
act of hypocrisy. For Winifred engag-

dollars was different sort of girl from
Winifred who had resolved to marry q
