.hiuS dpouI IL. oue Expressed ueT
loving sympathy for her sons betroth-
ed and all ardent longing to see her.
1t was a kind letter of grief-stricken
mother, and contained a promise that
she would visit America as soon as
she could recover from the cruel
shock, stating that she already had a
great affection for the young girl
whom her son loved so dearly.
1t was fearful shock to Heartsease,
but life triumphed over death, and in
her sad, womanly ways, continually re-
minded her father of his dear Con-
stance. He had never realized how
dear she was to him till he was about
to lose her.
Heartsease knew she was pitied but
she bore her cross like a martyr. She
was so changed. The little innocent
girlish ways were gone and there was
a sad, sorrowful expression in the blue
eyes. One could scarcely realize that
she was the same light-hearted girl
OF few months past.
No one suspected how deeply she
suffered, she was so calm, so uncom.
planning and always so anxious to
make others happy that as she moved
about in her quiet way she silently
taught lesson to all.
AS Janet performed some extra kind
ness for her she would smile-one
of those Misunderstanding smiles so
much sadder than tears.
AS summer waned, she could endure
the grief that was silently gnawing at
her heart no longer, and with a sigh
like that one breathes when all hope
has vanished, Hugh Lorridale saw his
Heartsease-hisp pale, tender flower
droop and fade, and ere the dead
leaves of autumn had fallen he had
been twice robbed of his dear ones
by the grim reaper.
One by one the servants left the
Manor, all except the Scotch nurse
and Hugh Lorridale became a wan
derer in foreign lands.
The grasses of many years have
waved over the grave of the gentle
Heartsease, but when the fires are
kindled on the hearthstones at Christ
mastide, parents tell their children
the story of the unfortunate maiden
and as they question her sad fate, or
| linger about her tomb, would it not
be well to quote the following lines OF
the poet:
'If any born of kindlier blood,
Should ask: What maiden lies below?
Say only this: A tender bud
That tried to bloom in the snow,
Lies withered where the violets blow"
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
| The End.

Varying Weight of timber.

The weight of most t'nber varies
