A Holiday that Will Last a Week.

There is a movement afoOt in New England to establish, a new holiday "Old Home Week" Our great country has grown wondrously since the Civil War, and in the rush to people the will derness families have been broken up and scattered. Sons, daughters, sisters and brothers have left their native towns and gone thousands of miles away to begin life for themselves. Hardly a family in the older States but has given loved ones to the rayenous West, and New England has given more than all. So now it is thought that one week in each year should be set apart for family reuniOns-a week in autumn, perhaps-when harvest is done and the children of New England can come together under the old roofs, meet their old playmates and live their old lives. All through the Western States people are becoming interested in the new holiday, and last year one of the New England governors issued proclamation setting aside an "Old Home Week" The homecoming was general enough to warrant the belief that the holiday can be made perma- nent one.

CHAPTER III.--(Continued.)
Arley Ransome had de- ded upon
telling his daughter OF the future that
awaited her. He was not quite sure
Of her. He had studied law in all its
branches, money making in all its
forms, but he had not studied charac-
.er-his daughter was almost strang-
or to him. She had been educated
abroad. Her mother died onsafter
her birth. and he. devoted to business,
had not cared to have child to dis
tract his attention. He lived then at
his chambers. But when Hildred was
seventeen he went over to Germany to
see her, and was charmed with her. He
found her highly educated, brilliantly
accomplished and intelligent, and in his
opinion. she gave great promise Of a
beautiful womanhood.
He decided at once on taking house
In the outskirts OF London and INSTALL
ing his daughter as mistress there.
It was done at once, and then Mr.. Ran
some began to put his scheme into
action. He knew that the young earl
had come to the end Of his resources.
1t would all be plain sailing for him
now. Sea-
But there was one person he had
not taken into account. and that was
his daughter. He had never dreamed
Of anything except blind submission.
Now he began to ask himself, "Will
she object?" She had plenty OF char
acter, plenty of spirit, life, activity.
energy. Would she submit to his bar
ter and exchange? Would she blush
and smile after the fashion Of girls
who are delighted? Would she be
pleased to be countess. or would she
draw herself up in disdain, and ten
him she was to be neither bought nor
sold7 He was doubtful as to which 1t
would be, and he therefore approached
the subject with some little hesitation.
That same evening-for it was rule
of Arley Ransome's to do quickly. what
required doing at all-he told her. He
remembered it long years afterwari-~
as did she. 80
Hildred had gone through the
grounds down to the banks of the
river she sat there watching the
color of the water change as the twi-
light deepened. A tall beech tree with
superb spreading branches grew near;
the grass was studded with white and
golden flowers. Arley Ransonie found
her, the daughter on whom he had
built all his hopes of fame and fortune.
her dark eyes fixed on the tranquil
stream. her white hands lying listlessly
on her knees. :,
"Hildred," said ArIey Ransome.1'I

keen interest, and the sharp-witted,
keen, shrewd lawyer, who could fright
en- a witness into saying anything he
wished him to say, shrank before the
dark eyes Of his daughter.
She looked up at him now with some
little curiosity. What had he to say
tn her? How was it that the clear gaze
OF those dark eyes troubled him so
greatly?

peated, dreamily. You could not have

The dark, eloquent eyes Travelled
slowly from his face to the river, ant
then back to the shrewd. eager counte-

"And this is the dream of your life

Then why does he not marry one OF

quietly. 49,

She thought for few moments in
silence. and then she said:

"All marriages would be happy il

hastily.
She knitted her fair, white brow
while she thought deeply, silently.
The Earl of Caraven wants to
marry me, papa did he say that he
loved me?"
Gentlemen seldom speak to lawyers
about love-" he replied, impatiently.
This is not mere sentimental, non
sensical love affair; it is of far greater
importance. Give it your serious at
tention, Hildred; put aside all the non
sense"
