"B0tc do you do, Mr.. DdcieSP'
On the following morning-it was Friday
Lady Honoria, accompanied by Anne, de-
parted in the very best of tempers. For the
next three weeks, at any rate, she would be
free from the CALLING associations of strait
ened means-free to enjoy the luxury and re-
6ned comfort TO which she had been accus-
toned, and for which her soul yearned with
fierce longing that would be Incompetent
yible to folk Of simpler mind. Everybody
has his or her ideal heaven, if only one could
fathom it. Some would choose sublimated
intellectual leisure, made happy by all the
best literature of all the planets; some a
model state with themselves as presidents,
In which the latest radical notions could
actually Through their benefcent efforts be
got to work to everybody's satisfaction;
Others a happy hunting ground, where the
game enjoyed the fun as much as they did !;
and so on, ad infinitum.
Lady Honoria was even more modest. Give
her well appointed town and country house,
a few powdered footmen, plenty of carriages
and other needful things, including, Of course,
the entree to the upper celestial ten, and she
would ask no more from age to age. Let us
hope that she will get it one day. It would
hurt nobody, and she is sure to find plenty OF
people of her own way Of thinking-that is,
If this world supplies the raw material.
She embraced Effie with enthusiasm, and
her husband with a chastened warmth, and
went pious prayer upon her lips that she
might never set eyes upon Bryngelly again.
II viii not be necessary for Us to follow
Lady Honoria in her travels. That afternoon
Efie and her father had great fun. They
packed up. Godfrey, who was rapidly re-
covering from his stiffness, pushed the things
into The portmanteaus and Effie jumped on
them. Those which would not go in they
bundled loose into the fly till that vehicle
10 1ked like an old clothes shop. Then, as
there was no room left for them inside, they
walked down to the vicarage by the beach, a
distance of about three-quarters of mile,
stopping on their way 10 admire the beauti-
ful castle, in, one corner of which Owen
Davies lived and moved
''Oh, daddy said the child, 81 wish you
would buy house ike that for you and me
To live ill., Why don't you, daddyin
Haven't got the money, DEAR he an
swered.
'sWill you ever have the money, daddyin
81 don't know, dear; perhaps one day
when am too old TO enjoy it,n he added to
himself
sit would take a great many pennies to
buy house like that, wouldn't it, daddyl'
said Effie. sagely.
YES dear, more than you can count, be
answered, and the conversation dropped.
Presently they came to a boat shed, placed
opposite the village and close to high wete,
mark. Here man-it was old Edward-wa
engaged in mending canoe Geofrey
glanced at it and saw that it was the identi
cal canoe out OF which he had so nearly beer
drowned.
Look, EfIie,n said he, ''that is the boat GU
of which was upset" Ef1ie opened he1
wide eyes and stared at the frail craft
sit is horrid boat, she said; ~ dom
want to look at it."
YOU'RE quite right, little miss said oil,
Edward, touching his cap. SIT amt safe
and somebody will be drowned out of it on
OF these days / wish it had gone to the bot
tom, do; but Miss Beatrice, she is that fool
hardy there amt no doing nothing with her
81 fancy that she has learnt lesson salt
Godfrey.
MAY be, may be, " grumbled the old man
Shut women folk are hard to teach; the
never learn nothing till its too late, the,
don't, and then when they've been and don
1t they're sorry, but what's the good o. thatg
Meanwhile another conversation was il
progress not more than quarter OF a mil
away. On the brow of the cliff stood tn
village of Bryngelly, and at the back of tn
village was a school, a plain whitewashec
building, rooted with stone, which, thougl
amply sufficient and suitable to the wants O
the place, was little short of an abominatio1
in the eyes Of her najesty's lordly school in
spectors, who from time to time descendet
upon Bryngelly for purposes of examination
and fault finding. They yearned to see
stately red brick edifice, with all the lates
improvements, erected at the expense of tn
ratepayers, but as yet they yearned in vain
The school was supported by voluntary con
tributions and, thanks to Beatrice's energ
and good teaching, the dreaded board, wit
its fads and extravaganza, had not We
clutched it.
Beatrice had returned to her duties tina

somehow mixed up with their ideas of Go
