She took the outstretched hand Gag
erly, quite forgetful of the angry words
with which they had last parted and
cried in broken voice:
"oh, Johnnie, is he better?"
The young mans face looked grave,
indeed, as he replied: a.tt 'Ela
He is about the same. He is very
weak, and has been asking for you. But
come, let me look after your luggage
and then Wen hurry down"
There were few passengers. and little
luggage by the train, and they found
Marjorie's small leather trunk standing
almost by itself on the platform. A
porter shouldered it and following him
they passed out of the station and
found solitary dog cart waiting with
ragged urchin at the horses head
A few minutes later Marjorie and Suth-
erland was driving rapidly side by side
through the dark and rain washed
streets Of the town. At last they
drew up before the gate of the manse.
With an eager cry, half a. sob, Mar
ioTie. leaped down. ,., 90 &c..
"I'll put up the horse and come
back, cried Sutherland. FRI
Marjorie scarcely heard but, opening
the gate, ran in across the garden, and
knocked softly at the manse door, which
was opened almost instantly by Mysle,
the old serving woman.
The, moment. she saw Marjorie she
put her anger to her lips.l So.
Marjorie stepped in. and the door was
softly closed Mysie led the way into

The old woman's hard, world-worn

He walked with her to within quar-

then he left her.
During the rest Of that day Marjorie
went about in a sort of dream, and 1t
was not until she had gone to bed at
night that she-was able to think dis
passionately Of the interview. %
The next day she went to, meet the
FFenchman, again. The moment he
saw her face ne knew that in leaving
her to reason out the problem he had
done WE'LL. '-5 y
She came forward with all the conf

hours of blissful, dreamy Joy! Mar

He was good and kind, and her love
for him increased, his reasoning seemed
logical as well as pleasant, and it was
beginning to take a firm hold of her
accordingly. sat
What he might have persuaded her
to do 1t is difficult to imagine, but an
event happened which for the time be-

The few days which followed imme-
diately upon the clergyman's, funeral
were the most wretched Marjorie had
ever spent. Habited in her plain black
dress, she sat at home in the little par
lor, watching with weary, wistful eyes
the figures of Solomon and Mysie, who,
similarly clad, moved like ghosts about
her; end all the while her thoughts
were with the good old man, who,
after all had been her only protector in
the world.
While he had been there to cheer
and comfort her, she had never realized
how far these others were from her.
Now she knew; she was as one left
utterly alone.

manned at the manse. Mrs. Menteith
obliged after the funeral to return to

About the Word Picnic.

1t may have occurred to some of the
young folks that picnic is rather n sin
gular name for the fayorite summer
pastime which it designates. Tho word
picnic is said to date from the year
1902. Then, rs now, when such an en-.
tertainment was being arranged for it
was customary that those who intended
to DO present should supply tho catables
and turntables. a list of what was con-
sldered necessary was drawn up and
passed around. each person picking out
such article Of food or drink as no OF
she was willing to furnish. Tho name
Of this article was then nicked off tho
list. Hence this form of outing became
known as "pick and nick" which de-
generated into picnic.
