The result Of it all was that fell

o'clock in the morning. My father
met me with carriage. He was in a
cheerful mood, such as rarely attain
at that hour in the day, and cheer
fulness is a great advantage More
over, my courage is always weakest
before breakfast. I dreaded our inter-
view.
We shook hands, and inquired re-
garding his health, which knew to be
perfect by the look Of him. Then I
said, ''How is Sibyl?" because the ques-
ton would please him. He replied
that she was very well at the last re-

Last report!' echoed, pausing, with
one foot on the step Of the carriage.
"DO you mean that she hasn't come
home yet?'
"Sibyl is out of town." said he, ex-
tending hand as if to help me up.
Here was a chance for procra stina-
ton, which is my favorite amusement.
With a feeling of relief I sank into the
seat beside him, and we conversed up
on unimportant topics until we reached
the house.
The old home looked much the same
from the street, but found consider
able changes within. The furnishings
were more luxurious, the arrangement
of the rooms upon the ground floor was
different, and at the rear a very ele-
CANT library with a domed roof had
been added.
The stairs sweep round and bring one
