often on the steps in front of the house,
so that more may SEQ and hear than can
be crowded under roof or canvas. The
father and mother and other relatives
stand near, the flag flies over him, tie
tenantry and retainers cheer, the brothers
and sisters are proud, or envious, who
can say which? and the young lord feels
all his grandeur and Importance, perhaps
more keenly than ever again.
There is a drive over the estate, which
is everywhere decorated with indications
of loyal regard; presents are made to the
poor and their children; the parish
church bells ring. and sometimes even
poachers are forgiven or released. AT
night the great house and the village are
illuminated. Everything is done to fos-

o'clock now, if it's a minutel"
End Peggy carried the hoe back again
with a sigh OF relief.
Little the Seeding poppies and mari
colds and ~petunias knew about theiI
fate, when they came crowding up to-
gether through the rich, hard soil of the
footpath that late spring; but this is
what happened to them. Who ever
thought saving such lives but quaint
little Peggy McAllister? But she dreamed
that night about carrying a iower-pot
full Of small green plants to everybody in
the sunny hospital wards, to stand
on h tables beside the bed or in the
windows, 20 that all the sick people
could watch them grow. She did not
know how she could really carry so
many; but she was sure Miss Dunning
would let her, when she walked up in the
morning and thought about the dream.
1t took a good cal of courage to ask
Miss Dunning at breakfast time, and
the kind little dressmaker laughed until
Peggy felt that she must have been very
foolish.
Its a reasonable dream enough, GER
tain; but, there! 1 don't know how I'm
ever going to let you go back again,
you dear little thing she said to Peggy.
Il believe l shall keep you all the time,
II you like well enough to stay?" and
Peggy's wondering face grew rosy for a
minute; then she dropped her head and
felt as if she were going to cry.
Obi please do keep me-" she said, and
that was all-dear, anxious, homeless
Peggy; and yet she gave a thought
at that very moment to Sister Helen,
whom she might never see again. But
Miss Dunning, too, was very good to
her.
A few weeks later a whole company
of flower pots that Miss Dunning gath
cred from her own stores and one or
two %neighbors'. was sent to the hos
pital in Blank street from Peggy. She
had rooted the rescued Seeding
anew, and tended them patiently until
they were growing again. Perhaps some
day we will follow their fortunes and
see who they doomed for, and whether
they bloomed well. But the happiest
day Of all was when a long letter came
to Peggy from Sister Helen, with many
messages in it from the sick people
whom she had lovingly remembered in
her new country home.

garden is worth toiiing over. Think of
