sudden contraction of the gloved I'm
gers. Ninette turned upon her with pout-
ing lips:
ssAuntie, you hurt me-
She laughed, and hastily removed her
hand. But there was no mirth in the
laugh, and there was a peculiar glitter
in her eyes, which John had never seen
there before.
eve must be near neighbors of these
Glenburnie Fairbanks" she said, lean
ing back in the cart, when it was no
longer possible to study the face of the
old house.
''It is the adjoining place. said
John, mechanically. He felt like man
cropping in dream for solution to
puzzle.
''And of course you know the Fair
banks?''

time"

can old man and a young woman"
"a handsome young woman?''
She had quite recovered from the
emotion, inexplicable to John, which
had carried her for second completely
out of her usual calm self-possession,
and, as she asked this question, looked
up into her husbands moody face with
cheerful composure.
But just then the horse in the shafts
SHE'D violently. Ninette's big hat tum-
bled over the dashboard and was left
yard or two in the rear of the cart be-
fore John could Chamber down for its re-
covery.
Ninette uttered her lamentations
aloud, but Nora was more interested in
the object which had caused the catas-
trophe than in the fate Of Ninette's
hat, although it was her very best.
An open umbrella, a large black cot
ton affair, with its handle supported
against stump, was the immediate
cause of all their trouble. A young
woman sitting on a stump, with an
open book on her lap, suddenly furled
the umbrella, thus bringing to view a
large basket full of dewy cut flowers.
She stood up as John came towards her.
Ninette's hat lay almost at her feet.
Nora could her saying, gravely:
81 am distressed that my umbrella
should have caused so much trouble.

one. And will you not say: God bless
Johns wife just once?"
The rigid lines about the elder wom-
ans mouth relaxed. She raised her
right hand with an uncertain motion.
Suddenly it fell by her side like thing
of lead, and she turned away with a
curt good night"
Not yet. Not yet. Celeste's words
came back to her and banished the
asked-for blessing from her lips:
Anyone could tell that she was the
offspring of adevn and a light woman. "
Neither bane nor blessing ever fell
lightly from the lips of the mistress of
White Cliffs.

600 ounces ut from 60.1 TO 7O.5 The
offers were declined by the acting d.
