Dey, decisively.
"Oh, please don't send me mann

sob, II never saw her. L do not

"Please consider somebody be-

mother. "This is the first time

Bah was by this time dissolved
IN tears they ran rapidly down her

quite quenched the light Of her
dark-gray eyes.

elder sister. Iilla..
Bah flashed out at this, as she so
often did-poor, helpless, iIl-used

"Imight haveknown!" shecried,
impetuously. "Whateverpromises

"Agreeably, my boy, She is,
like flower to me. Twill be sorry
to let her go back to them. They
were not very kind, | think"
He had thought so, too, but it
never troubled him before; yet,
when she assembled the steps, and
put a small hand into his in greet
ing, and smiled her warm, bright
smile up into his eyes, he felt that
unkindness to such a sweet girl
should be impossible.
After that, how the days flew!
Bah learned to ride, to row, to
love; and Aunt Katharine was so
kind, so generous, SO loveable !
That summer would leave its trace
forever on the life Of Barbara Dey.
"It will be quite safe for us to
go to Newport now,' Aunt Katha-
rine decided, when July was gone,
and the enervating heat of August
made her feel languid, even in her
shaded, pleasant home.
And so to Newport they went,
Aunt Katharine, Bah, and George
Annes.

comfortable, was buttoning her
glove,
Eilla, clothed airily In the soft
lavender crepe, with heliotrope
caught in the lace of her bodice,
and with all her soft hair huffed
high on her head, smiled sweetly.
"Let US go down. The dancing
has begun" she said. 81 doubt if
it was more than a ruse. to get us
in the ballroom early"
With that she picked up her fan
and with her mother, went down
to where the hop was going on in
the great hotel at which they were
staying.
I Scarcely had they entered the
ballroom, when ELLA caught he1

lady said, stopping to touch Bab's
cheeks with her lips.
The she drew the girl with her
along the platform to where a car

girl entere&
AS they we're speeding along
through lovely, uneven country,
Bah found her aunts eyes fixed on
her face with keen scrutiny in them.
'''You have been crying, Why?"
the lady asked her.
Bah, Blushing, smiling, frank as
day always, confessed that she had
not wanted to leave home.
81 was afraid of you,' she said,
innocently. "How absurd it seems

Aunt Katharine'5 face clouded

me'of your home and your sister"
Bah told much in her uuthink-
ing way, when the carriage turned
into beautifully-kept grounds and
stopped at the end Of a wide, cool
verandah.
Aunt Katharine lived quietly but
elegantly and, after a few days,
looking over her niece's wardrobe,
condemned it as shabby, and pur-
chased for Bah such lovely, lus-
tRous' gossamer dresses that the
girl, half laughing, half crying.
called her a good fairy.

lady said. "Did you know I had
