CHAPTER xv.-MR. HENLEY's TEMPER

Provided by nature with ironclad con-
stitutional defenSeS against illness. Mr.
Henley was now and then troubled with
groundless doubts of his own state of
health. Acting under delusion of this
kind, he imagined symptoms which rem
dered change of residence necessary
from his town house to his country
house, few days only after his daughter
had decided on the engagement of her new
maid.
iris gladly, even eagerly, adapted her
own wishes to the furtherance of her faith
er's plans. Sorely tried by anxiety and
suspense, she needed all that rest and
tranquility could do for her The first
week in the country produced an improve
ment in her health. Enjoying the serene
beauty of woodland and field, breathing
the delicious purity of the air-sometimes
cultivating her own corner in the garden.
and sometimes helping the women in the
lighter labors of the dairy-her nerves re-
covered their tone, and her spirits rose
again to their higher level
In the performance of her duties the
new maid justified Miss Henley's conf
dence in her. during the residence of the
househoid III the country.
She showed, in her own undemonstra-
tive way, a grateful sense of her mistress
kindness. Her various occupations were
intelligently and attentiVelv pursued: her
even temper never seemed to vary: she
gave the servants no opportunities of COM
planning of her. But one popularity in
her behavior excited hostile remark be-
low-stairs. On the occasions when she
was free to go out for the day she always
found some excuse for not joining any of
the other female servants who might hap
pen to be similarly favored The one use
she made of her holiday was to travel by
railway to some place unknown: always
returning at the right time in the even
ing. Iris knew enough of the sad cir
cumstances to be able to respect her mo-
tives. and to appreciate the necessity for
keeping the obj ct of those solitary jour
neyS a secret from her fellow servants

A young girl sat alone before an open
fire; the morrow would be her wedding
day and she was planning for her future
home. She asked not I'm marble halls to
dwell, bnt in home where house and
furnishings should be typical of the life
within She realized that
Home is no merely roof or room.
Home is where the heart can bloom.
This home of which she was dreaming
should be founder on perfect love and con-
fdence, and with such foundation the
storms might beat upon it and the waves
Of adversely might surround it, but it
would not fall In its structure should be
intelligence, culture and a desire for the
best things of life, and she knew the ac-
cessories, good books, pictures and music,
would follow The motto of the home
should be Bear We one another's bur-
dens. The religion, love of Goo and love
of man. She dreamed of many guests
within that home and that each should
find that peace that comes from loves
unselfshness. 1t should be embematic

hands, and its existence should be a
benediction to all who came In contract
