lard for their summer holiday, and sfter
much del ration, Muthill in Perth
shire was decided upO1.
Mr. X lyensWOod Was II c ty merchant,
but could IN no wise re called a self
made man, for his family was an ancient
one, although for many years they had
been traders, and thought themselves
none the worse fer the fact which rem
dered them substantial instead of poor
gentlemen.
The presentrepreE cltatiye Of the name
was q man Of some fifty years of age,
with whom things prOspered, AID it was
easy to 20 that such was the case with
one glance Il his opeu face, which was
free from care marks and thoughtful
lines.
He had married when he was about
thirty, and having had time to SOW his
proverbial wild OATS he settled down
happily INTO Benedict, with the woman
he loved as his wiic,
One child only had been born to them,
little gr, wIo made her appearances
up n Inc stage Of Iifs two yeaIS after
unelr marriage
IL was disappointment to them that
no son had either preceded or followed
her, but they were pleased with the
small b ing with whom they were
blessed.
She was dark-eyed child, full of
mi lei and fun, and the name which
they has bestowed upon her suited her
exactly.
+ fc very quickly entwined herself
around her faLuer's heart with her win,
ming ways, and was her mothers dar-
ling.
Tney we're not to be blamed, perhaps,
for thinking their Que eve lamb perfect,
but they were for the manner Ia which
they sJUi ed h r.
E ii, hWu her own way in everything.
No ono must cross her path or her wishes
aud tc never d q 80 themselves.
