through that stupid course, and I've
always said I'd act differently If 1t

- IAJOR CRANSION lived III an
EMI old fashioned, rOomy house at
the end of the widest and long
est street barley afforded. The
exterior of the house was not very at
tractive. though it stood on a spacious,
we'll kept lawn, but it was equipped
throughout with fine old furniture the
Cranstons had brought from Virginia.
There were rare pieces of solid ma
hOgany in the big parlor, piano when
was a relic of the days of Washington
and sofas and chairs quite as ancient
in appearance. On the white plastered
walls hung family portraits in massive
gilt frames.
1t was one Sunday night about the
middle of November. Lydia had retlred
to her room and the major was readinS
a newspaper in the lamplight before
cheerful fire in the sitting room Wheh
Mrs. Cranston came in from the parlof'
"WeJl. you may be satisfied. MAJOR

'Whats she done now?" The major

"She hasn't done anything-that's the
trouble" answered Mrs. CranstOn. If
she only would do and be like she was

as different as can be-"
"Why, I'm sure the child seems well

"Well enough? She's the picture of

YOU remember how she cried when we
