Brydell looked at Mrs. Laurison and

Brydell knew that the poor fellow meant
Esdaile. Meanwhile Brydell was working
like Trojan at his books.
Every evening after supper he would be
claimed for half an hour by little Mipna
to play on the piano for her, to tell her
stories or TO amuse her in some way. Then
he would take lamp and 90 to his room
and study hard. Often he was very tired.
but it was healthful fatigue.
He did not feel any sense of nervous
exhaustion, but If he found him self falling
asleep over his books he would go to bed
and get up at daylight next morning feel
ing perfectly refreshed. The outdoor life
agreed with him wonderfully and his
boyish figure began to fill out and lose

neighborhood was sparse and he did not
find any very congenial acquaintance

I'll have lots of fellows for company next
year."
He came to like Mr.. Laurison, and Mrs.
Laurison's kindness was unvarying.
Little Minna became the apple of his eve.
Ia the summer she had a slight illness, and
Brydell did not realize until then how
always on hand to do anything for her,
and the child would take her medicine
more readily from him than from ANYBODY
else. This still more woD Mrs. Laurison's
heart, and there was keen sympathy be-
tween her and the boy who had never
known a mothers love. He often thought.
IF Aunt Emiline had been like this !''
Minna got well quickly, but from that on
Brydell's affection for the mother and
enid became intense. Mrs. Laurisou
knew that Brydell was preparing for his
examination in another year, and once
said TO him:

college songs, pleased his hosts very much
with performance that would not have
been so highly appreciated elsewhere. At
8 o'clock he was shown to a comfortable
room, not the best bedroom as he found
out, and. turning in, fell asleep in five
minutes, well pleased with his first DAVIS
