 Sunday was Il rainy, dismal day. Julia tired to be cheerful, and to give the light Of her smiles to the brea kfast-table, but she found 1t hard work. It was gloomy with out, and 1t was gloomy within. Her grandfather was morose ana lower ing and after one or two intellectual attempts to engage him In conyer satlon, she gave up in despair.
 A day long the old man brood ed Tn his library, evidently nursing his wrath, and feeling ill at ease. In fact, he dId not feel well a; all. He feared he was gong to be sick, and towards night he sent for Christo- phor, who arrived just after dark.
