her beauty there, for Miss Smiths nose

MIS-. McLatchet at once appreciated
the fact that the distinguished original
OF the picture had at the last moment
disappointed Hamish, for nobody in
the person of beautiful woman,
beautifully dressed, such as she had
pictured to herself as the original of
Rosalind, was to be seen. The COM
pany, too, began to express their
doubts and fears, yet the face of Hamish
McLatchet was not that of man who
had suffered disappointment. On the
contrary, it beamed with good-humor
and contentment.

Mrs. McLatchet obeyed, inwardly
wondering what was going to take
place. At the same time her son
covered the lower part of the Smith
girls face with IL piece of velvet.
A cry OF astonishment arose as the
exact resemblance between Rosalind's
head and eyes and Gwendolen Smiths
head and eyes was at once apparent.

it. and her face at that moment was in
itself Il study.

chorus of applause and congratulation.
But the storm within the mind OF
Mrs. McLatchet at the complete turn
ing Of the tables on her was so terrible
that she could have dashed the velvet
into the grinning mouth of Miss Huggs.
Perhaps Hamish felt for his mother
in her humiliation, for he remarked!

journal. In the center wood fire
was burning brightly on some stones,
and at first the smoke was very I'M
pleasant, but soon one became accus-
toned to it and it served the useful
purpose Of driving away the winged
plague which had followed us all day.
The man proceeded to boil some
coffee, which in few minutes was set
before me, together with wooden
bowlful Of reindecr's milk. The coffee
was not very palatable, but under the
circumstances worse fare would have
proved acceptable. The milk found
to be too thick and rich to drink much
of.
