"Well, what are we going to do?"
$50 on to Seav lew, take possession
of the house, and hold it against the

Some cabs had by this time driven
up, so the three lads got into one of
them, and in ten minutes found them
selves at the garden gate of large
house, detached but standing in a
row, the back of which faced the sea.
All three eyed the residence up and
down with much disfavor.
AT that moment a very tall boy OF
thirteen or fourteen, in an Elton
jacket, which he was rapidly out
growing, came through the trades
mems gate at the side of the house,
and stood beaming at the new ar
rivals with seraphic smile. He was
blue-eyed, fair, with pretty, girlish
face, and an expression of guileless
innocence and sweetness. The spirits
OF his three brothers seemed to re-
vive at sight of him. The Idol and
his two older brothers were agreed
upon no other subject, but in a COM
mon loathing Of the Cub they we're as
one. Poor Mrs. Monk, adoring her
children, had spoiled them all with
lavish indulgence, stirring mp thereby
many petty feuds and jealousies; SO
that upon the youngest, as the most
spoiled of all, the wrath of all the
rest was unanimously poured.
"Hallo" began Cameron agrees
lively, as he jumped out OF the cab.
"Hallo!" echoed the Cub, in a
melodious and gentle voice, as he
came down to the gate.
Come and take the luggage in.
But the Cub leaned upon the high
gate, caressing two of the spikes on
top, and continued to smile.
Ibid you hear what | saide Come
out and take N the luggage" went
on Cameron.
Yes, heard what you said, an
swered the boy as sweetly as ever.
And he turned the key in the gate.
Temple and Cameron remained for q
moment silent, agf asst at the change
which a term at Elton had made in
the shrinking, whining "mother''
boy" The Idol stood little apart
rather amused at the turn things
were taking. Temple took up the
cause of the discounted Cameron.
Come, do you mean to say he
began, in deep, eldest-son-of-the-fam
lily tones.

And lodging Camer0n's avengin&
fists, he stepped back placidly into 1
flower bed and awaited the decision
of his brothers.
