1T must have been q wonderful

1T was indeed, sir-so great that she
can never to this day bear to recall that
dreadful time, and refuses to talk about
it to any one.
CHAPTER Nv.
Ethel Mallet knelt on a chair, her
bonny face pressing closely against the
window pane. The room being on the
second floor, 1t was only by SO doing
that she could see the steps that led up
to the front door. 1t was a quarter past
eight, and she was watching anxiously,
| as she had done for several mornings
past, for the coming of the postman. She
left her position presently, and hustled
about, putting little finishing touches to
the breakfast table.
1T Is hard on poor dear dad to have
to put up with petty Inconvenience"
she said, affectionately, as she laid the
morning newspaper next the roses, and
looked to see IL she could do anything
further to beautify the unlovely lodging
house breakfast table. II know the sight
Of stain on the tablecloth takes away
his appetite. With the very next few
shillings l make by my copying I'll buy
a couple of tablecloths, and then we can
have an extra one without asking Mrs.
Philpott for 1t and risking black looks
Tor the rest of the week. Oh, here you
are, papal thought you were going
to be late-and 1t IL your Kensington
day, too. All, there's the postman!
wonder If he has letter for me? Isn't
1t strange that Jack has written only
once In a whole week."
Young fellows always find plenty Of
occupation In the country; you must not
worry about 1t, my child" This remark
was rather uncalled for, as Ethel, the
whole week through, had scrupulously
avoided mentioning the subject Of Jacks
neglect. THE country round Mallingford
Is particularly attractive, and can quite
understand that Jack is feasting his soul
on its beauties"
"Oh, papa, do you know Mallingford?
You never said SO beforehand Ethel
was just about to launch out into
string of questions when her thoughts
were diverted by the appearance of the
servant with the fish for breakfast, and
q letter.
"For me, and from Jackw she ex-
claimed, breathlessly; but she did not
attempt to read It until she had attended
to every little want of her fafher,s and
