1t up and simply wrote: 'Resolved:
That l will be a bachelor all my life"
Then / shut the book and went to bed
and naturally dreamed of Maud. You
sec how far gone | was.
The next morning we were all at
breakfast when some one introduced
the subject of Maud's engagement.
You are the only one to neglect to
congratulate me, Mr.. Butler" she said,
feigning offense.
"iiut | do congratulate you, Miss
Maud" | said, sincerely, "and l hope
your engagement may lead to nothing
but happiness for you"
"Oh! it will" she said. "If you
knew Mr.. Simpson, you could not doubt
it, He is the kindest man. He is Just
the man should have picked of all the
men [ know"
Indeed! l imagined that you did
choose him, in way? In such matter
one usually"
"Of course,%she said, 81 chose him,
but still it lay with him, too, for with
out his consent"
Ills CONSENT" cried.
''Why, yes" she said, "he had to ac-
cept me before"
"Accept you, Miss Maud" I ex-
claimed. "You certainly did not pro-
pose to him?"
Certainly, did;" she said. "You
don't think | could have got the posi-
ton"
''The position!" 1 said, amazed.
"What position?"
"Why, as stenographer, OF course.
What did you think | had" and then
she must have seen through my stupid
blunder, for she blushed.
And as for me, there was no staying
at the same table with Gregory after
that, so went up to my room and tore
up the only resolution l had made for
the New Year; and, to make long
story short, we were married at Sutton-
West, Maud and |, that summer, and
Gregory was my best man, which posi-
ton he filled very well, in spite of Il
boil on his neck.

sirous of helping him by securing po-
sition as stenographer somewhere. She
had taken course in school, and felt
herself well equipped for the position,
but co f'r she had not secured il.
or course her aunt laughed thcr. So
did Gregory, too, for that matter, for,
she had been quite a society girl and
both predicted she would be picked up
and married off before she even got a
place as stenographer. l thought so
myself.
remember it was the last day
of '93 that was sitting in the smoking.
room, and all the others were in thu
next room (Which they called the
swarm room" because it wasn't quite
as cold as the others) when the next
mail came. Gregory brought me let
ter from the "boss, "and l was reading
it when | heard Maud say in her quiet
way: "Auntie, | may as well tell you.
l am engaged"
Then heard Mrs. Gregory get up and
go over and kiss Maud, and as don't
like to overhear conversations meant
for other ears went up to my room and
stocked up the fire.
| may as well own that was cut UP
quite little, for had begun to like
Maud little too well for my own com
fort, and, while had no real hope OF
ever winning her, it was rather a shock
to learn that she was actually engaged.

was rampIlng old building in the real

was rambling old building in the real
English style.
There were IA rooms and they kept
l3 stoves in continual action. The
room without stove was an extra
room in the attic and was used for q
store room. Gregory said that~all the
men turned out in the fall and hauled
wood, and then when snow fell all be-
gan chopping, and chopped until time
TO plant in the spring.
1t kept Gregory busy feeding the
stoves. He would fill up number one,
and then fill number twS, and so on,
and by the time he had number 13
stocked he would be ready to load num-
ber one again, and sometimes he would
not be able to get around in time and
the fire in number one would be out
before he had number 13 full of wood.
The front door was completely showed
up, buried behind 2o-foot drift, and
Gregory told me it was lucky thing.
for if it had not been and anyone should
have opened the front and rear doors
at the same time the lake breeze would
have blown the whole unlucky 10
stoves out of the house and clear own
TO Toronto. That lake breeze was what
they called "bracing weather. up there.
Down in Iowa we would have locked
ourselves indoors and said: "What
fearful blizzard"
And they seemed to enjoy it, The girl
cousin, Maud Gregory, did not mind it
in the least, and would take her skates
and sail out for little spin on the ice
on days when was wondering whether
we had not better tie the house to the
pine trees to keep it from blowing
away.
But then she was accustomed to it.
She had never been farther south than
Toronto, and frequently spent her win
ters there on Lake Simcoe.
She was beautiful girl, too. I saw
that the first time | met her, and saw
it more plainly every day.
BY the time | had grown little ac-
customed to the beautiful climate we
were quite good friends, and as Greg
ory's carbqncle practically confined
him to the smokingroom, the pleasure
of escorting her on her numerous sliat-
ing trips naturally fell TO me. And l
did not shirk my duty.
She was an only child, and her father
was n clerk in one of the Toronto banks,

He was an A No. l young fellow and we
had worked side by side for three years
at the same desk in little Wholesale

pened to leave Canada and find his
way TO Iowa is too long and too dull

there, and soon after he arrived we be-
came great chums.
lie sang in the choir, made out the
bills of the concern for which we
worked, rode horseback, and had boils.
OF the four occupations, the boils
seemed to interest him most, and no
wonder, for they We're with him night
and day.
He used to back up to me and say:
Look at my neck, will you, old fellow,
and see if that spot looks like boif?"
Usually it did.
We all used to advise him what to do
for them, and he did it. Our desi.
lrawers were always full of his tonics
nd lotions and salves; and when any
ne pulled one of his special drawers
pen an odor like an apothecary shop
scaped.
But all this has nothing to do with
ny story.
When Gregory was called back to
Canada he made me promise to visit
him at Sutton-West some time. He
said it was the most beautiful spot in
the world, and that it had climate
-
as gold to lead.
So when | found / was to have two
weeks vacation during the Christmas
holidays in '93, wrote him that was
coming. His reply to my letter was en-,
thusiastic. The weather was superb,
the sleighing excellent, pretty cousin
was visiting them. Come right along,
and he had u big carbuncle on his arm.
So | went.
To get to Sutton you go through
Toronto and up little branch railway,
and from Sutton you drive several miles
to sutton-West along the shore of Lake
SiIncoe.
"'''r"'v not me at the station and
wrapped me well in robes. A servant
drove. Gregory explained that he
would have handled the ribbons himself
had he been able, but owing to his car
buncle he was obliged to carry his arm
in sling. He was downright glad 90
see me, and asked questions all the way
to Sutton-West, about the old friends
in Iowa.
l enjoyed the first half of the ride,
but the last half was decidedly cold.

billows rise and crowd
Across the foamy bars,
Through skies of gray that stretch away,
Her wild hair floating free,
She comes to where her kingdom lies
BY either land or sea.
For her the dawn's pale buds oflight
Are round her pathway thrown,
AS like banner in the fight
The night is backward blown,
And dims afar the last lone star
AS on her chariot goes,
While In the east the later streaks
Grow ruddy as a rose.
And fades the old years worn-out scythe
AS some half-moon's faint line,
And January's heralds blithe
In icy armor shine,
While round her train the frozen rain,
That some misname the snow,
Has caught million sun-Slints bright
From out the sunrise glow.
And glad her face as on she speeds
Toward the rising sun,
With light of hope and noble deeds
OF faith and duty done,
And in her eyes the swift surprise
OF all that round her waits,
Where morning. as she passes by,
Has opened wide the gates.
