would you say if a girl whispered, 4
love you, and nobody but YOU and 4
gave you a kiss that was like-like
wine and roses? Now what would you

would say. It IS a situation to make

family are pleased?"
Well, l never thought about my
family till / had Lucy = word. Then I
told mother. She knew I.ucy all thru
Mother has great respect for Indepen-
dents, and tho father sulked a bit
at first, mother had it out with him one
IN their room father comes to see things
Just as she wants him. I suppose that's
the way with wives. Lucy will be Just
like that. She s got sharp little tenn
per, too. Shell let me have bit Of
It, no %, doubt, now and them
Will you like that9'

would be no fun in living with a wo-
man of that kind. My father would
droop and pine if mother didn't SPUR
him on now and then. And he likes it.
Don t knows / we seen mother snappy
and awkward with him all breakfast
Line Lime, tossing her head, and rafting the
with men that let ali the good bargains ms
pass them; perhaps making fun of
us because we couldn It manage
to get along without strikes.
She had no strikes with her
hands, she'd like to see her women
stand up and talk to her about shorter

the mill together he ID laugh contented-
y and say Your mother was quite re-
freshing this morning, John Thomas.
She has keyed me up to right pitch.
When Jonathan Arkroyd comes about
that wool he sold us I'll be all ready
for him. So you see I'm not against
a sharp temper I like women as Ten.

round with little wilful thorns,' eh?o
Unusual as this conversation was, it's
general tone was assumed by Ethel in
her confidential talk with Ruth the fol-
loving u3g day. Of course, Ruth was not
brought her, for tho the lovers had
been individually sure they had be-
trayed their secret to no one, it had
really been an open one to Ruth since
the hour Of their meeting. She was
sincerely ardent in her praises Of Tyrrel
RaWdon, butIand there is always a
t paedsh she. wondered d; # Ethel had "1o-
tlssa oh Hhat quick ans temedr h Eb n5d
should not like him not to have a quick
temper. I expect my husband to stand
up at a moment notice for either mine
or his own rights or opinions -
:. And in the afternoon when all pre-
proved. Judge Rawdon expressed him
self in the same manner to Ruth
eyes, - he said, in reply to her timid
suggestion Of temper, you can strike
fire anywhere with him if you try it,
but he has it under control. Besides,
Ethel is just as quick to flame up. It
will be Rawdon against Rawdon, and
Ethel>s weapons are of finer keener
steel than Tyrrel s. Ethel will hold her
own. It is best 500
How did the squire feel about such
a marriage?' Is.
He was quite overcome with de-
light. Nothing was said to TyrreI
about Ethel having bought the rever-
sion Of Rawdon manor. for things have
been harder to get into proper shape
than I thought they would be, and it
may be another month before all is
finally settled; but the squire has the
secret satisfaction, and he was much
affected by the certainty of Rawdon
at Rawdon Court after him. He de-
but tprovidential, and, Of course, I let
him take all the satisfaction he could
out of the idea. Ever since he heard
of the engagement he has been at the
organ singing the One Hundred and
Third Psalm

IT cannot tell. When he bid u,
