"Yes, indeed" remarked one Of the
guests at the English table, ''yes, indeed,
we start life thinking that we. shall build
great cathedral, a crowning glory 10 ar
chiteoturc, and we end by oontriving a
mud hut"
'I am glad you think so well of human
nature, said the Disagrceable Man, sud
denly looking up from tho newspaper
which he always read during mealtime.
u should be more inclined to say that we
end by being content to dig hole and get
into It, like the earthmcn.'
A silence followed these words. The
English community at that end of the ta-
bic was struck with astonishment at hear
ing the Disagreeable Man speak. The few
sentences he had spoken during the last
four years at Petershof were ON record.
This was decidedly the longest of them all.

ed beautiful Mrs. Reffold to her neighbor.
The Disagreeable Man once more looked
up from his newspaper.
please pass me the Yorkshire relish, Z"
he said In his rough way to a girl sitting
next to him.
The spell was broken, and the conversa-
tion started afresh. But the girl who had
passed the Yorkshire relish sat silent and
listless, her food untouched and her wine
untasted. She was small and thin. Her
face looked haggard. She was a newcom-
er and had indeed arrived at Petershof
only two hours before the table d'hote bell
rang. But there did not seem to be any
nervous shrinking in her manner nor any
sbyness at having TO face the ESQ guests of
the kurhaus. She seemed rather to be un-
aware of their presence, or IL aware OF
certainly Indifferent TO the scrutiny under
which she was being placed. She was 20
called TO reality by the voice of the Disa-
grccable Man. Sho did not hear what he
said, but she mechanically stretched out
her hand and passed him tho mustard pot.
"Is that what you asked fors" sho said
half dreamily, "or was It the watcr bot

express itself now in this direction, now in
that, yet always actuated by the same con-
Stant force, the desire for work, Bernar-
dine seemed TO have no special wish to be
useful 10 others. She seemed just TO have
a natural tendency to work even as others
have natural tendency to play. She was
always in earnest. Life for little Bernar-
dine meant something serious.
Then the years went by. She grew up
and flied her life with many interests and
ambitions. She was at least a worker if
nothing else. She had always been n dill
igent scholar, and now she took her place
as an able teacher. She was self reliant
and perhaps somewhat conceited. But at
least Bernardine the young woman had
learned something which Bernardine the
young child had not been able to learn
she learned how to smile. 1t took her about
six and twenty years TO learn. Still some
people take longer than that. In fact,
many never learn. This is brief summa-
ry of Bernardine Holmes past.
Then one day when she was in the full
swing of her many engrossing occupations
teaching, writing articles for newspa-
pers, attending socialistic meetings and
taking part in political discussions---she
was essentially modern product, this
Bernardine-one day she fell i'll. She lin
gered In London for some time, and then

CHAPTER III.

MRS. REFFoLD LEARNS HER LESSON.
Petershof was n winter resort for con-
sumptive patients, though indeed many
people who simply needed the change of a
bracing climate went there to spend few
months and came away wonderfully bet
ter for the mountain air. This is what
Bcrnardine Holme hoped 10 do. She was
broken down in every way, but 1t was
thought that prolonged stay in Petershof
might help her back 60 reasonable
amount of health, or at least prevent her
from slipping into further decline. She
had come alone because she had no rela-
tions except that old uncle and no money
to pay any friend who might have been
willing TO come with her. But she proba-
bly, cared very little, and the morning aft
or her arrival she strolled out by herself,
investigating the place where she was
about TO spend six months. She was drag
ging herself along when she met the Dis
agreeable Man. She stopped him. He
was not accustomed 60 be stopped by any
one, and he looked rather astonished.
You were not very cheering last
night, she said to him.
Il believe l am not generally considered
TO be lively" he answered as he knocked
the snow off his boot.
"Still, am sorry spoke to you as l
did" she went on frankly 1T was fool
ish of me TO mind what you said. "
He made no reference TO his own remark
and was passing on his way again when he
turned back and walked with her.
II have been here nearly seven years, "
he said, and there was a ring Of sadness In
his voice as no spoke, which he iinmcdi-
ately corrected. "If you want TO know
anything about the place, / can tell you.
IL you are able TO walk, l can show you
some lovely spots, where you viii not loo
bothered with people. can take you to
snow fairyland, IL you are sad and disap-
pointed, you Will find shining comfort
there. IL Is not all sadness In Petcrshof.
In the silent snow forests, n you dig the
snoy away, you will find the tiny buds
nesting in their white nursery. IL the sun
does not dazzle your eyes, you may always
see the great mountains piercing the sky.

me. You are not too al but that they
may be n happiness to you also.

CHAPTER III.
CONTAINS A FEW pETATLs.

CHAPTER III.
CONTAINS A FEW DETAILS.
In an old secondhand bookshop in Lon
don an old man sat reading Gibbon IS His
tory of Rome" He did not put down his
book when the postman brought him a
letter. He just glanced indifferently at the
letter and impatiently at the postman.
Zerviah Hollne did not like to be inter
rupted when he was reading Gibbon, and
as he was always reading Gibbon an in
terruption was always regarded by him as
an insult.
About two hours afterward he opened
the leAer and learned that his niece, Ber-
nardine had arrived safely in Petershof,
and that she intended to get better and
come home strong. He tore up the letter
and instinctively turned to the photograph
on the mantelpiece 1t was the picture Of
face young and yet old, sad and yet with
possibilities OF merriment, thin and drawn
and almost wrinkled and with piercing
eyes which, even in the dull lifelessness Of
the photograph, seemed TO be burning
themselves away Not a pleasing nor q
good face yet intensely pathetic because
of its undisguised harassment.
Zerviah looked at it for moment
"She has never been much to either of
u.s." he said to himself. And yet when
Malvina was alive 4 used TO think that she
was hard ON Bernardine. i believe i said
SO once or twice. But Malvina had her
own way of looking at things. Well, that
is over now
He then, with characteristic speed, dis
missed all thoughts which did not relate
TO Roman history, and the remembrance
of Malvina, his wife, and Bernardine, his
niece, took up an accustomed position in
the background of his mind.
Bernardine had suffered cheerless
childhood in which dolls and toys took no
leading part She had no affection TO be-
stow on any doll, nor any woolly lamb, nor
apparently on any human person, unless
perhaps there was tho possibility OF n
friendly inclination toward Uncle Zervi-
ah, who would not have understood the
value of any deeper feeling and did not
therefore call tho child cold hearted and
unresponsive, IA he might well have done.
This she certainly was, Judged by the
standard Of other children, but then no
softening influences had been at work dur
ing her tenderest years. Aunt Malvina
knew as much about sympathy as she did
about the properties Of an ellipse, and even
the fairies had failed TO win little Bernar-
dine. At first they tried with loving pa
thence what they might do for her. They
came out of their books and danced and
sang to her and whispered sweet stories to
her at twilight, the fairies own time.
But she would have none Of them for all
their gentle persuasion. So they gave UP
trying to please her and left her, rs they
had found her, lovcless. What can be said
of a childhood which even the fairies have
failed TO touch with the warm glow Of sf-
fectioni
