the light footstep Of Grannis Garret's daughter
They're delighted" she said to him with
orightening eyes. Did you invent the order,
or 40 you really want the collsr?" she asked.
Old Adam looked awkward, and before he
could answer she said: GOOD night l must
CO. live higher than you
Yes, he said, NEARER heaven, l know"
her foot was on the stair. She looked back at
him. The moonbeams were dancing about the
little landing
You must be very happy r. he said. putting
up ms great foot ON the staircase alongside
hers. What is the secret of it?'
ASK your sweetheart" she replied. "But il
you love her you ought to know"
Oid Adam looked at her as if he meant her to
go on.
TO love is to be happyr she said. "Ask
your sweetheart. If you don't know it your
you"
NO! no." said she. "Ask your sweetheart
Tor whom you want the lace collar"
Il meant it for you," said old Adam. When
she saw that he was serious she turned and
faced HIM in the moonlight. II was beast
last night, but don't think that want to be.
You are nearer to heaven than am. NV heart
beats with you and your ways when YOU are
near. Wear the lace collar for me and will
wear your yoke all nv life. NV heart has wor-
SHIPPED you even when i acted like a beast"
Then she put out her hand-in the moonlight
they joined their hands.
Il believe in you," she said. 81 trust YOU"
II do not even know your name" he said.
as he drew her near him.
MY name is Grace" she said
After afew moments she glanced at him from
beneath his strong arm, and said, ''But what
about old Boz?'
And old Adam said, Eve done with old
Boz.''
The dodgers door was quickly opened and a
shaggy head thrust out, and the lodger' voice
said: You're a foolr' But when old Adam
went to bed that night he did not think he had
been a fool
The next morning old Adam found the key
OF his lodger door lying outside his own. The
logger had disappeared. There was great JOY
among the children when it was known that old
Boz had really gone.
Things menGed in Abels Rents A little sea
air did world of good to the tailor's wife; reg
ular work made the faces of the mysterious
sisters almost plump; Grannie CARROTS daugh-
ter went out with her lace collar on one morn
Ing and came back with gold ring besides. No
new ledger was allowed in old Adams vacant
room. 1t was always useful, for the taiIor's
children often played there.
One day she asked him a question: 'Adam,
for old Adam cannot call you'll reverence
ana love you too well for that-Adam, am as
good as your old lodger?'
Yes, Grace, call me Adam; for the old Adam
ls gone, / think. You are my better self. old
Boz was my worse. You were right when you
said, To love is to be happyr"
Ihey joined their hands in loving pressure
and their eyes moved spontaneously to
the plaque over the mantelpiece and
rested with new meaning upon that crown of
thorns.

But. though the features Of Victoria could
not be photographed daily or weekly after the
modern fashion, We are not left quite in ig-
norance Of how she looked in babyhood. Sir
Thomas Lawrence. president of the Royal
Academy, stole with soft foot upon the child
as she lay one day asleep and made the draw
ing OF her plump, ringlet-framed baby face
and pudgy baby hand. of which the above is O
reproduction, borrowed, like the others in
this article, from the Strand Magazine And
Victoria Mary Louisa, her duchess mother,
must have been hard to please if she did not
smile upon the veteran portrait painter and
tell him it was so like the dear child. And Sir
Thomas at fifty was certainly old enough to be
wise, SO he probably said he had never seen SO
lovely baby.

Lightning struck the chimney of an un-

1t couldn't have been long after this time that
the queen to be, having been apprised of the
honors certainly in store for her if she lived,
made that memorable remark, Il will be good"
Some millions Of her younger subjects have
since regretted that she ever uttered such an
unexceptionable sentiment For probably no
phrase is more often quoted to the youth of
England: George Washington's apocryphal
remark that he could not tell lie isn't a cir
to it for all-round usefulness
