account of glass being transparent, 1t
is the most difficult to repair, because
it must be mended so carefully that
the cracks will not show.
For, clear glass the best kind OF
glue is made from a solution of isin;
glass and gin, Of which two ounces
of the former and one-half pint OF the
latter are dissolved in a bottle. Az
it will take some time to accomplish
this, the bottle should be placed in
the sun and shaken daily. The liquid
should then be strained through a
fine cloth. The glass to be mended
must be well washed in hot suds, we'll
dried, and the glue applied with a
small hair brush. When the pieces
have been fitted together they should
be held in place by strips of muslin
until the glue dries.
For mending bric-a-brac good
paste can be made OF sifted plaster OF
paris mixed with the beaten white of
an egg. The repairing, however, must
be done quickly, as the paste hardens
rapidly.

CHAPTER Xxx,

CHAPTER AAA,
When the new schoolhouse was
completed, it was decided: to hold dedi-
catory exercises amid much pomp and
ceremony. For after great deal OF
talk the school was at last fact,
The settlement had been startled from
river to blum; its inhabitants shaken
out of their torpid summer calm, by
such an Innovation.
But after the first shock was over,
they had lent willing ear to the plan.
The lads and lasses themselves were
delighted; less it must be confessed
from desire for knowledge than be-
cause Of the immunity from work
which the hours Of school promised.
The parental consent was usually
given with good-humored tolerance
for a prejudice If there were those
who believed :: In education-why, so
were there believers in: the ultimate
accomplishment of steamboats, and fly
ing machines. It was easy enough to
humor such outlandish opinions; and
the three RS could do no harm, they
supposed. And after this negative fash

Winslow's hand. It contained but a line:
THE promise was anothers: may its
fulttllment be mtne?"
Lavender brought the letter to he,
mother, and told all the story.
And in her listeners eyes, was re.
flected light, like that which neve,
shone on land nor sea-" the light Of
proud JOY In Z mothers face.
Then the daughter raised her head
and, >patting the pale cheeks with both
hands, said with solemnity: "And now
dear mother, do you realize that the
prayer Is to be answered? That the
gift have begged Of Heaven is to be
ours1 You are going back-going home
with him-and me-"
A silence fell between them: their
hearts too full for words.
: Suddenly whippoorwill sounded his
,plaintive note from an elm outside.
The sun sank until the tree-tops were
lost In the somber eastern sky-only
the trunks cast long pillars Of shade.
Through their gigantic colonnade the
last yellow beams poured a food OF
light straight to the cabin. door where
sat mother and child together.
Think, daughter she: whispered,
''that sunset is even now shining. on
the sloping roof, on the vine-covered
porch of home! Imagine how it's rays
empurple every Nicholson daisy, and
glorify the golden-rod! For there is
hint Of autumn there already, dear
"Under the trees the grass is soft
and brown with needles, and the
grapes are ripening. The stone steps
are worn-one is falling away at the
side. Perhaps the old red gate is open,
child, open for U.S."
She looked out into the garden, all
sunset llumined, and her voice was
clear, almost triumphant, as she sang
the refrain:
"Ano she thought of her flowers. and she
thought of the well,
Where the cool waters dashed DER the
large white stone,..
And she thought it would soothe like
fairy spell,
Could she drink of that fount when her
fever was. on"
