l thought it a breach of courtesy to cough
or sneeze before her, and many a heroic
struggle have | had with self to avoid these
spasms.
Mary's mother was altogether different.
She was a small, fair woman, with merry
little ways, a continual laugh, and the
manners of child. The sort of person
that one must pet, and indulge, and ex-
cuse. Ny mother was also a very small
woman but her manner to Mrs. Steele was
that of tall woman bending to a midget
Year after year passed in pleasant, even
fashion, until | reached the age of -.
Mother wakened me as usual one New
Years morning, but, contrary TO her Gus
tom, seated herself on my bedside, and,
facing me, clasped my hand in hers
MY son" said she, ''you are old enough
now to bear responsibility, and learn manly
ways and ideas. Your father was gentle
man He was kind loving and tender; ever
ready to defend girl, woman. and the
right. He never drank to intoxication, and
hoped his son might also be exempt from
this temptation. If not, he prayed that
strength might be given him to leave It
entirely alone"
| wondered why mother was saying this
to me, when tears came in her beloved
eyes, and she continued
81 am telling you this, dear lad, because
you always visit the Steeles on New Years
day, and there are many young men whom
you may see there-young men who drink
too much, say too much, and whose man
ners are not always the manners of gen
tlemen."
Then understood and putting my arms
about her neck, pledged myself in the name
of my dead father to be temperate, faith
full and true. The bells of St. Margaret's
broke into a merry chime just then, and
mother ran away crying;
"Up up, Jack! My son must not be a
sluggard on New Years day"
The day had been dull and gray. A
Whitley sense of snow thrilled through the
sharp, wintry air, which made the Wa NTH

nine o'clock in the morning line of callers
had poured over the door-sill of the Steele
house. Carriages emptied their loads of
elegant looking men at their curbstone, the
tails of rich coats hourshed like black
wings behind the flying figures, while white
satin wastcoats and light gloves cleaned
in contrast as the callers rushed up the
steps. Few little boys were among the
guests and my jealous heart absorbed a
! grain of comfort from this knowledge.

hat and raglan, when mother called

Grandma Steele drew herself up very tall,
proudly So She smiled and talked. but her

Mrs steele smiled and tested gayly, ex-
changing badinage in her light-hearted
way, and looking very fair and pretty. She
rippled out a merry laugh, as one young
man fell to his knees while making a gal
LIANT speech over her extended hand. Across
Grandma Steele's face came a flash OF color.
