IS II 1t too re1olced IN TINS universal re-
ivenescence. Tho garden at Tho Myr-
es was beautiful with the gracious
scent laden flowers Of spring.
Cousin Adela, accompanied by old
Don, the colonel's retriever, was
busily engaged in experimenting the
finishing touches OF the gardener,
and then both pronounced it perfect.
The dark background Of myrtles, the
hyacinths that perfumed the air, the
vivid tulips. the periwinkles, the pale.
tender primrose still lingering, and be-
yond all this the glorious sea full Of am
bient light.
Il think this is q very happy place.

labor. The colonel a. t1l1ss will be real

his daughter drove up to the garden gate.
When they saw the kind, beam

sin Adela, with honest old Peach,
and Don's overpowering delight, they
both exclaimed, "How delightful to be
at home once moreI"
"Welcome home, dear. Herbert, and
you, ioo, dear child. Peach and I were
only just saying that the spring flowers
here were at their best to welcome you.
''And how lovely they are; we have
seen nothing to equal them abroad, have

Cousin Adela noticed great improve
ment in her young relative, q gentle
cheerfulness, gracious womanliness, Al
though she had passed through the fire
that purifies and refines.
''Some letters have arrived for yeu to
day. Herbert. They are In your study.
