This vision, with his mothers Bible,
and Lite Of Napoleon that had been
his fathers, we're the equipment Of the
circuit rider who brought his strong
handed, strong hearted wife into the
pioneer states along the Mississippi,
sixty years ago.
His courtship had been Napoleonic.
When Eliza Ann Gardiner, his cousin

the funeral. to put his room to rights, it
was a: her mothers bidding. She would

When she deity and silently washed all

were also by order of Rebecca Gardiner.
To James, lying on the cot whence
his mothers face had looked away for
ever. this other appeared as il summoned
by his need. 1t was by order Of a des-
tiny which he never questioned. He
was never even aware that after his ulti.
matum had been announced to Eliza
Ann, the week that he left his Canadian
hills, that same maternal court decided
his case. To him, it was but the utter
ance Of destiny when he sat in bis arm

James, and il James should 60 back to
sin!
James had no notion Of going back to
sin. He turned leaf in Chronicles,
and said to Eliza, Il must be about my
Fathers business. Send your brother
or your father tonight to tell me the
answer. It's now or never.''
All the way home Eliza Ann saw the
chests Of white linen laid by for day
not such day as tomorrow. The spruce
trees hung clear drops Of white within
her touch, but she did not look at them.
The face Of great Duty looked upon
her and put all her evenings of tatting
by the fire light and all her mornings Of
spinning aud dyeing and carding and
milking and churuing the milk, sudden
Iy into world Of small things. Besides,
there was but an hour for deciding.
After all, there is no lure like that of
making q great sacrifice. Something
that is worth stalking our all upon, is
what we wait, and the greater the stake,
the more We have made of the life. It
is for spending, and when Eliza Ann
weighed the pounds Of wool and tallow
candles against the souls Of settlers and
savages by the far of river. she decided
very simply in her own mind. Her
mother looked at the five sisters OF Eliza

of them had thought OF repeating the
