for me. She is little girl-an only child
so the teaching win be easy and light"

Helen, and beg her to excuse your"
"Oh, no. that must not be-" Miss Ar
cher answered, hurriedly; Il must go"
"Then you shall go just for month"
said Nora, with regret; ''and you viii
leave them then and come to me. l shall
fetch you when | come back from Ire
land. Where are the rooms you have
taken, Helen?'
Il will give you the address" said
Helen, writing it as she spoke. You
you will not give it to any one else, dearF
mot TO any one,' said Nora, making
the promise readily, and resolving silent
ly that these two rooms should be made
comfortable before Helen went to occupy
them.
'.Who is with you here, Nora"' inquir-
ed Miss Archer, after little silence,
during which she had found it hard TO
realize, even yet, the fact of Nora's ten

Mrs. Pennington and Celia"

Ito look healthy all my life, dear. And
but l must go. Good-by. dear little
friend"
Her eyes were quite dry, though lit
tie feverish. when, with the gentle kiss
of her pupil on her lips, she turned
away, and felt that all the world was
better and brighter, and more faithful for
| that houl she had spent resting by the
lake. And Nora stood for few minutes
looking after her and thinking, while
Mark came slowly up. She repeated to

Il hope you are immensely hungry,
Nora" whispered Will, as he seated him

of the fun; and then they spoke lazily of
leaving in another hours time, and
strolled out to hear the band in the CEN
