mastered by her emotion, she had sud-

"That if he ever saw me with the
Englishman he would kill him and me"
A low moan escaped from Olive Dunn

into her eyes.

She paused once more, as if hesitat-

AS the stranger entered with slow
and firm tread, a composed and grace
full mien, the two women gazed at each
other intently, eagerly, scrutinizingly.
At her entrance the woman had made

stood waiting, her arm laid for sup

"About your husband" the stranger

Olive Dumbarton sank into chair,
scarcely knowing what revelations were
about to be made to her.
She pointed to chair, and said, when
the visitor had seated herself:

than any other one element of their ma

To play with your children in this way.
You can teach them uneonseiously many
a little lesson OF politeness; TO some de-

all you can give to them in this way a
sense Of companionship, and by and by
when they have gone out into the world
for themselves, you and they will recall
the childhood days in which both parties
gave and received more than either side
then realized.
