had each full appreciation, from

was suddenly called away, and placed
his business in the hands of his
nephew, Duncan Winston, a recent
acquisition to the bar. "Now," said
he, Duncan, If Gillian makes you

His tone and manner were earnest.
Whether he was speaking the truth or
whether this earnestness was merely as
sumed to convince her it was difficult to
say, but the girl was satisfied.
"May ask why you have chosen me
for this work2"
''First, because you are going to the
country anyhow; secondly, and chiefly,
because you are foreigner and a mere
girl. You will pass unheeded. unsus-
pected, where others would not-that is
to say, if you can keep your self-posses-
sion when it is needed, and think you
can, for, though you are so young, you
have nerve, character-you are to be
trusted"
She did not speak for moment, but
thought deeply and rapidly, with her
gaze upon the floor.
Woman-like, she shrank at the idea OF
danger, and was about to refuse; then
she thrust all thought of self aside, and
only remember her mother, her sister,
the man she loved, and what such sum
of money could do for them, and held
ucT tongue.
"Give me $40, 900 and will do it.

treath."
''T won't jeopardizs my safety for
less" she said firmly. "If were alone
in the world should refuse altogether
but l want the money for the sake OF
those who are very dear to me-"

An English paper tells story of
well-known bishop who suffers from

levee. At length guest approached
and said: "How do you do, my lord?
My mother wishes to be kindly re-

bishop, that is very good of her.

upon that most destructive nuisance,
the English sparrow. In winter ru-

young lady drove up in four wheeler,

A moment later man came out,

clasped the girl in his arms.

excitement, she told him all. He heard
her story, and when she had finished,
touched her cheek with gentle hand.
"But, my dear, 1 cannot accept so
