"A telegram for Miss Archer
Every head in the schoolroom was
lifted in quick surprise and eXpecta-
ton. Florence Archer left her desk and
went forward, with changing color, to
receive the yellow envelope whose seal
so often covers fateful messages.
The message was clear and concise.
but entirely inexpIicable: Take the
p. m. express on P. & b. Meet me at
Fluvanna Junction, a. m, tomorrow,
Thursday"
The rest Of the day was spent in hur-
ried preparation. Many of Miss Arch
er's friends opposed her going; even
Miss Hall, the principal, seemed doubt
full
Surely. my dear, your father did not
know the difficulties in the way, or he
never would have made such plan for
YOU. Does he know that you VIII have
to drive twelve miles after dark to meet
this o'clock express?
Certainly. he does, Miss Hall. Father
is perfectly familiar with all these
routes" answered Florence, who con-
timed her preparations amid the pro-
tests Of her friends.
please. girls" she cried at last in
desperation, don't mention the SUBJECT
again. Ny father is the wisest man
know: he is the kindest man 1 know;
if there had been any other way better
than this, he would have CHOSEN that
vav. / am sure that he has made the
best plan that could be made for me
under the circumstances. NOW you
must help and not hinder me.
This decided stand siIenced Florence's
troublesome advisers; it silenced her
own doubts and anXities for the time.
At last she was ready for the first
stage of her journey. 1t was very colo
and dark when she started Tor her
drive. Part of the way the road was
narrow pass round the base of Cliff on
the right. with deep gorge on the lett.
Florence got out again ana again ana
walked over the most dangerous places,
while the driver led his horses.
How could my father give me such
a Journey" she thought, and again she
settled it with the loving answer OF
faith. IF there had been any other
wav that was better, father would have
taken that way.
Altogether, it was most uncomIort-
able and tiresome journey, and 1T was
not until the lazy winter sun of another
day had gotten up that Florence
reached FIuvanna Junction
Then from her fathers strong, loving
arms she was set down in a 'Nestlbule
limited" and the first face to greet
her there was her dear mothers.
when the three were comfortably
seated. the father said:
Now. little daughter, am prepareu 4
to answer questions without stunt put
&c. 81 Iot me ask one: What Gid you say
when Won read the telegram
4aOf course 1 was surprised, father'
she said.
f'Of course.
"Of course. 1 was perplexed."

al did wonder little why you hadn
told me more about 1t.
Very naturally.
.s,-ter,i-Florence' sweet face was as
bright as the new day-''then just said
Ia Them all: my father has done the
hest he could: if there had been any
other way for him to do that was pet
ter. he would have done that way!

Child's Fairy Tale,

Auntie, listen! I'm going to tell you
a story. Once there was little girl
outdoors playing with her kitty, and a
! Fairy came along-oh, such a lovely
Fairy, with long yellow curls and a
/ soft pinkey dress And the Fairy said,
Little Girl, come right along to Fairy
land!' And the Little Girl got into
the fairy car, and sat down beside the
Fairy, and the Fairy said, up! up!
you can't think! oh, a great deal
faster than the carsI Faster than
lightning! Ten thousand times faster
than lightningI And then they got up
to Fairyland. And everybody was glad
to see that Little Girl. Listen! l was
that Little Girl And the Fairy took
me all round and showed me more
pretty things than l could count in a
whole year-no, in twenty years! Do
you want to know what those pretty
things were? Listen! All sorts of
thingsl Carnations and geraniums and
Gala lilies, big beds of them, all grow
ing wild. And big flocks of canary
birds flying about and-and little
white lambsl Do you want to know
how the houses look? Listeni Very,
very pretty Some are made of gold,
and some of silver, and some Of glass,
and some have pearls and diamonds
on them. And we can coast in the
streets all summer! had a coast! A
nice little boy with red cheeks lent me
his sled. And l coasted very fast, to
the end of the street. The children
never get run over when they coast!
No. never! Listen-the SledS are fairy
sleds. and they turn out themselves
Do you want to know if they have
stores in Fairyland? 1 think so, but
/ only saw one little one. What do you
s'pose they had in it? Only two
things-roses and little babies! Wasn't
that a, sweet little Fairy store? And
then we came home faster than we

CHAPTER XXI.

Above all things, and IN all things,
do thou, my soul, rest always in the
Lord, for He is the eternal rest of the
Saints.
Give me, o most sweet Jesus, to re-
pose in Thee above all things created;
above all health and beauty; above all
glory and honor; above all power and
dignity; above all riches and arts, and
above all that is not Thee, my God; for
Thou, o Lord my God art good above
all things. Thou alone art most high;
Thou alone most powerful; Thou alone
most noble and most glorious. And,
therefore, all is too little that those be-
stoweth on me that is not Thyself.
o, my most beloved Spouse, Christ
Jesus, most pure lover, Lord of the
whole Creation! Who will give me
wings of true liberty, to fly and repose
in Thee?
o, when shall it be fully granted me
to be free, and to see how sweet Thou
art, o Lord my God?
o, Jesus, Brightness of eternal glory,
comfort of the pilgrim soul, with Thee
is my mouth without voice, and my
voice speaketh to Thee.
How long doth my Lord delay to
come?

ENGLAND's TRIUMPH.

God in far heaven with a frown
In anger turns his face,
While ruthless England tramples down
One more unhappy race.
The selfish world stands by to see,
Nor lifts a helping hand,
Watching incarnate tyranny
Triumph in one more land.
Lo! England prays in minister's high
For mercy, justice, peace;
While meath the whole circle of the sky
Her warfares never cease.
The blood of hapless Zulus slain
Reeks from the stolen sod;
And butchered Maoris, killed for gain,
Carry the prayer to God.
Though brave men seek the wilderness,
The last hope of the free,
Insatiate on their trek no less
Tracks greedy tyranny.
Dead faces set in deathleSS ire
Witness to manhood's worth,
Where England writes in blood and fire
Her title to the earth.
For lust of gold is Englands creed;
Her gospel that of fight;
Her honor eaten out by greed,
She knows no right but might
How long, o God of justice named,
How long shall these things be?
Till England's brutal pride is tanned
No weak land may be freei

Sharp Words.

You sometimes hear boys and girls
say words at play with a quick, sharp
tone. as if it were the snap of a whip.
If any of them gets vexed, you will
hear voice as if it were made up of
snarl, a whine and a bark. We
would say to all girls and boys, use
your best voice at home" Watch it
by day as a pearl of great price, for it
will be worth more to you in the days
to come than the best pearl hid in the
sea. A kind voice is a lark's song to
heart and home.

WHAT WOULD YOU DoP

(St. Nocholas.)
If you were a little girl again,
Mother Malone, Malone,
What would you do the long, long day,
Playing alone. alone?
If l We're a little girl again,
Nora, my own, my own,
With just one long, long sunny day
To play alone, alone,
If l We're a little girl again,
And fairy folk were true,
If paper dolls had human hearts,
And all the world were new,
All, listen, listen, little one,
I'll whisper what I'd do:
To the violet's lips I'd put my ear
And hush my heart that I might hear
The secret of its sweetness;
I'd search beneath the fungus shelves
For glimpses of COLLINS, .gnomes or elves
I'd run a race with the laughing brook,
Or chase it to some Witch-kept nook,
Whose spell would stay its feetneess.
I'd hide in the haunt of the hooking bird
Till 1 learned its melody word for word
Full length upon the moss I'd lie,
Content beneath the changing sky
In that one days completeness.
If I were a little girl again,
Even as you, as you,
If fairy folk were truly folk,
And all the world were new,
I'd just be happy, little one,
Till the long, long day was through.
