the most unlettered eye There was
Ounce in the corner with peaked cap,
mounted on the bad eminence of desk,
who was obviously and with much philoso-
ply solacing himself for the sorrows Of
learning with lump Of toffee.
John Glendonwyn, however, saw none OF
them. Instead, in the midst of an encom-
passing haze of round, red cheeks, round
childish eyes, and infantine mouths as
round with wonder as the letter o ITSELF he
saw a slender girl with eyes of azure and
hair golden-ripe coming forward to meet
him. He did not even notice the pale blue
ribbon, though he had a sense that it was
there. Something so moist, dewy and ap-
pealing was In those eyes. So coral red
glowed the mouth, the lips parted a little,
perhaps (who can tell0 with the more
quickly coming breath-perhaps with the
heat of the school room, which of course
grown so delicately shell pink, like the
curl of the dog rose ere it opens-that little
secret dimple where the dew lies on clear
mornings.
He was taking her hand Yes-he was
saying something. But strangely enough,
he could not hear what. Now he could see
her lips moving. She was speaking to
him. Yet he heard not a word, or at least
as In a dream. They were alone as it were
upon great plain.
Suddenly through the mist of fairyland
there came something which walked John
Glendonwyn as efficiently a bucket of
icy water. PhOnetically expressed this
was the interruptions:
'Oh, dust yook at teatzer! I'm is holdin
teatZer's hand.'
1t was little Johnny Colstoun, who from
his bad eminence of Ounce, and his priv
ileged position as the masters son (aS well
as the only boy who spoke English). could
both observe and feel at liberty to declare
the result of his observations.
A ripple of laughter passed round the
school, in which, happily and almost as
childishly as any of them, "Teatzer'

much indignation as he could express under
his breath. Pray, when did you forget
that my name was John?'

said the girl, smiling. She was now by
far the most self-possessed Of the two.

striving hard to control his voice, for the

Coronation Tiaras.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mall.
Society's interest in the coronation has
been greater since the change in the coro-
nation robes was announced, and the an
nouncement that tiaras might be worn as
well as jewels on the neck and corsage has
been eagerly welcomed on all sides. There
is no more apathy among the peeresses;
and the jewel trade has been given a stim-
illus which 1t has lacked for some time
past. The royal family have already had
designs and specimens submitted to them
for approval and order. The coronets being
regulation size, tiaras will in many cases
have to be specially made, as they must be
worn in the front of the hair which is to
be dressed high to permit of the coronet
resting inside the tiara for the few short
moments it will be worn.

Paris to arrange about the setting of a new
ornament, and the Countess of Aberdeen is

The Trojan Horse to Date.

Even in these latter days an intelligent
study Of the ancient classics may prove a
valuable asset to the conscientious student.
That at least, is what one gathers from
the exploits of the pair of Persian knights

horse from a saddler's shop and proceeded
to put 1t to the same use the Greeks did

quadruped was placed on a handcart and
wheeled to a house where an innocent con-
cierge consented to take care of it for the
night. Before morning one of the confeder-
ates had emerged from the interior of the
horse laid hands on such valuables as he
could find and regained his hiding place
to be duly carted away by his friend.

CHAPTER ~.
The Passion of Friendship.

-
1t is but little wonder that John Glen
donwyn felt himself ill used by fate and
generally at strife with the world as he
walked away from the manse of Kilgour.
He was generous lad and owned readily
in any company that Veronica was hun
dred times too good for him. But she
never could let either we'll or i'll alone,
which last John Glendonwyn was all too
ready to do. Then If Vera liked him, as
she said she did. she always liked him to
be something else than what he was.
Whereas the young mans mind was all
too apt to dwell in cheek of clear lily
white that turned to the delicate hue Of the
rose leaf at his approach, and lips that
never lectured or sermoniZed him either
upon sins of omission or commission.
So it was with something very like a
sigh that John Glendonwyn turned out of
the main streets of the town into parallel
road, scantily and irregularly lined with
houses, at the top of which stood the aca-
DENY of KilgOur.
John Glendonwyn's friend and former rec
tor, upon whom he was now proceeding to
call, was one Henry Colstoun, a man whose
name and fame will never be forgotten in
Kilgour while fire burns and water runs.
The friendship between Mr.. Colstoun and
John had grown to be the closest and
warmeSt kind, was indeed the case with
mCSt OF the rector s pupils. When Jonn
went to the university it astonished him to
find how little he had to learn far as
the classics were concerned. and how his
college exercises and examinations were
mere childs play in comparison with those
to which Mr.. Colstoun had accustomed him.
But the teacher had accomplished far more
for the lad than teaching him the use of his
tools. He had made literature to live for
him.
So it was natural enough that John Glen
donwyn should devote one of his first
mornings at home during the Christmas re-
cess to his friend the rector. With hands

while with one foot on the step of his desk
what earthly pleasure could surpass
that?
The school held it's breath while John and
the rector discoursed of high matters
who had got which bursary what he was
likely to do in his classes, which ella assic au-
thors Dunbar and Hasseltine were taking
up this year
Then came questions as to what he was
dolng and going to do. Had he Thought
any more earnestly about his call to the
ministry? If so, ought he not to trv to
his profession? "
