The dim doubt, however, grew sud

1t was stormy night nearing the new
year. The elder had gone to kirk
session, and Helen had given to the
CHEEKY home place wonderful air of
coy beauty. The fire danced and
blazed on the snow white hearth, on
the deal furniture, scrubbed with meal
till 1t was like ivory; on the gayly
patched cushions and crockery, on the
house plants in the window and the
prints and ballads upon the walls. Roy
came in out of the storm, laughing
and shaking the frozen snow out Of
his black curls he threw off his plaid,
took Helen in his embrace and then
Struggled comfortably down among the
cushions of the big chair she had plac-
cd near the fire for him. A little table
was spread with bread and milk, and
he ate heartily and related to Helen

Then Roy said GOOD nightw He
felt hurt, though he could give no rea-

himself by a very ostentatious appro-

said to herself, "but he will get over
it, and he will be just; whatever comes,
he will be just. That is all am want
