on Wednesday afternoon last Mrs.
Henry had occasion TO send her young
son. Arthur, aged between 2 and 3
years. down into the cellar after a loaf
OF bread. The child was barefootcd
at the time and was gone an eXcep-
tlonally long time. The mother. nm
ally, after having called the youngstcr
"a number Of times, went down 10 soc
what was the matter with the child.
The sight that met her gaze as she
went Town into the cellar was enough
10 make he strongest man tremblo
with a large rattlesnake wrapped
around his legs. with its head up to-
the child's face, while the child
fondly pctting the snake along
the back of the neck.
The mother screamed. ana tho snake
unwound itself from around tho
yonngster's legs and struck twice M
Mrs. Henry. She succeeded In keeping
from getting bit and, grabbing the
child. got out Of the cellar as quickly
as possible. Mr.. Henry was called
and, taking q shotgun. went into the

Tut, tut, my dear old mother goose!
Surely you don't expect sentiment from

The following morning every one went
early to the church to help in decorat-
ing it, except Moyra, who was detained
by some household duties. She was just
leaving the Rectory to join the others
when the postman arrived with a parcel
of letters and packages. one Of which was

all her life had Moyra been so tempted
as she was then. She would have given
a fortune to keep the book from Bride,
and she went to the church feeling very
miserable and depressed, with nervous
anxiety gnawing at her heart. The work
of decorating was in full swing when she
reached the church, and, after eXchang-
ing greetings with each merry group,
Moyra joined Angus and Bride at the
altar rails. Bride looked up with a very
happy smile Angus glance was more OBJ
servant.
You look very tired and worried" he
said, in an undertone, as Bride went of
to compare progress with some other
workers. "Why did you come? You
should have rested. You think that looks
pretty?'
"Yes-very,' she replied. with a sigh
that had nothing to do with the subject.
II shall not allow you to do a thing"
he said decisively. I'm going to put.
these 'kneelers'-isn't that their manner
together, and you are to sit down and
watch others working just for once"
But I should like to make the coffee

But he did not introduce the subject
