The lady had seated herself on the
old sofa, but she sprang up quickly,
with startled look. There's some
thing in it-living"
my dear, you are dreaming
But just then the dream" realized.
Up went the hanging curtain at the
back of the sofa, and out stepped a
trim little rosy checked maiden. The
sun shining on the auburn hair, which
was little tossed over the pure white
forehead, made halo, and Mrs. Qui-
nette thought for moment that 1t was
too lovely picture Of sweet girlhood
to be real. Was it a miracle or delu-
sion Of the senses? Even Mr.. Quinette,
sensible business man that he was,
stood speeches. with surprise. Many
strange things he had found In old
sofas-rings and thimbles and coins
and nameless curios-but never before
a live little grill
AS will be imagined, Marion was not
little surprised too. Looking into the
strange faces, she perceived that both
were kindly and instinctively felt that
she was safe.
81 beg your pardon" she said speak
ing first; "but really do not know how
came here. l was asleep"
"You dear little girly' said Mrs.
Quinette, stroklng the shining hair to
assure herself of its reality.
81 wish 1 had as good title to you
as / have to the sofa," smiled Mr..
Quinette, addressing Marion after lit
tie more talk and some mutual ex-
plantations. IL would give you to my
wife for Christmas present"
"Thank you. 1t would be a present
that / would like" smiled the lady.
'But," she added, perhaps the little
girls relatives are distracted trying to
find her. Cassius, go right back and
tell them that she's safe and ask them
to let her stay with us until after
Christmas. Wouldn't you like to stay,
dearY
yes. Thank you for inviting me-"
answered Marion. She felt a little
thrill at being called dear" Since
mammals death no one had called her
that. Marion was enchanted with the
beauty of the place. In the dining
room were birds and flowers and q
sideboard full of glittering things. The
parlor was marvel Of elegance, but
the object that interested Marion most

lasted from the week before Christmas
to New Years, and the young Croft
roads were therefore enjoying their
midwinter vacation.
"Jack, you and Jim behave your
selves" called their mother from the
kitchen. "And you, 10, quit making
such a noise. And you, Cathie and
Matilda, get to your knitting"
There was a sharp note in Mrs.
Croftroad's tones; but, on the whole,
her "scolding" was not very severe.
Still, to Marion's ears, unaccustomed
to harsh words and equally a stranger
to the noisy, rough ways of her cous-
ms, the scene down stairs in the civ
ing rooms" Of the house was anything
but pleasant.
thought Marion as the vOciferOus
shouts broke out afresh. "They would
only tease me-"
The thought of Christmas coming to-
morrow did not make Marion happy.
Last Christmas she had had her own
sweet, mother. What a change this
from the happy, peaceful home life
with mamma! The sudden death Of
her mother in the spring had left her
an orphan with no means for her sup
port.
"What shall be done with MarionY
was the question that the relatives had
discussed all summer. Aunt Patience
did not want the little girl at first. Gas
If hadn't enough of my own! she
said in her noisily aggressive way. IF
she was big and strong, l wouldn't
care so much, for then she could help
with the hard work and earn her board
and clothes, but she's such spindling,
delicate little thing and all spoiled with
petting."
Although Marion was little, she was
past Is, and she realized, with many a
keen pang Of grief and humiliation,
what 1t was to be unloved and poor
and homeless when 1t was finally de-
cided that she must either be sent to
an orphan asylum or go to Uncle
James in the country. Aunt Patience
yielded. ooh, WELL" she said, 81 guess
one more in the family won't matter
much"
Early in the autumn Marion had been
very iii with fever. One of the results
of this sickness was a peculiar tend
ency to fall asleep at odd hours of the
day. The doctor said that as soon as
| she had recovered from the "dregs" of
the disease she would be well again
and that her relatives need not be
alarmed. Marion always felt better
after these daylight slumbers, which
| brought the roses back to her cheeks
and made her feel strong. But the
habit afforded her cousins a great op-
| portunity for teasing. Often she would
awaken on the dining room sofa to
find them all laughing at her and max
ing remarks not at all complimentary
| or kind. In their still more mschie
vous moods the boys, and even Cathie
and Matilda, would sometimes tickle
her face while she slept, saying, "Red
head, sleepy head, go to bed"
Naturally Marion grew to dread the
presence of her cousins when she fell
herself becoming sleepy. Strictly speak
ing, her hair was not red, but beauti
full shade of auburn. Aunt Patienc,
presently called up the stairs, "Ain't
you got the beds made yet, MarionT
Eyes, ma'am," answered Marion. Hel
voice trembled, for she was crying.

she said.
81. should love to teach you," said
Mrs. Quinette, who was a fine perform
er herself.
Meanwhile Mr.. Quinette arrived at
the home Of the Croftroads, bringing
his strange piece Of intelligence. Yes;
they had missed Marion, but they were
not very uneasy as yet. He was q
shrewd man, this Mr.. Quinette, almost
as good judge Of people as he was Of
old furniture, and he had not talked
with the Croftroads very long until he
saw that it wound not be hard to per-
suade them to part with Marion alto
gether.
He approached the matter very deli
cately, however; told Mr.. Croftroad
who he was and proved his respecta-
bility and business standing. He told
Of his wife's longing for a little girl
and of their long cherished intention to
adopt a child. When he came home.
his face was beaming.
"Will they let Marion stay until after
ChristmasY asked Mrs. Quinette.
81 think they will let her stay for
good and all. OF course nothing IL
settled yet, but believe there will hb
no difficulty. So you can have yoE,

Mrs. Quinette was in one Of these

Of the window she could see the peo-

fashioned country dwelling without
anything Of the nature of a heater in
it. There was a good fire down stairs
in the dining room and one in the

Happily none of the Croftroads were

ART AND ARTISTS.

Two portraits by Rembrandt have
just been added to the British national
gallery.
The British museum has bought a
collection Of the drawings of the late
George Du Maurier. The drawings in
clude the originals of many of Din
Maurier's best known society car
toons.
The remarkable statement is now
going about that since MeIssonier's
death his pictures are rapidly dePre-
ciating in value, and only the most
moderate prices are being realized for
those pictures still in the hands of his
widow.
The Rembrandt society of Holland,
which held its yearly meeting lately at
Amst erdam. reports an expenditure of
30.025 forms during the year upon the
purchase of paintings which would
otherwise have gone into the collec-
tions of foreign purchasers and been
lost 70 the Dutch nation.
Nearly all the recently deceased
English artists have left good-sized
fortunes. Edward Armitage was
worth $1.532.310; Sir John Gilbert. SILL
