Anstruther took stride toward his little
love, who was looking, if possible, more
beautiful than ever with her hazel eyes, and
the pretty color coming and going in her
delicate cheeks.
"Mother is right-she reminded me in
time-you are My Lady Lettice now,' he
said, as if to excuse his sudden halt.
She bowed her pretty head. She had
spoken Once-had given him his chance.
1t was he who must make the next move,
in whatever direction it should please him.
AT that moment shadow darkened the
pathway outside. Lady Lettice looked up
nervously.
Father p she cried piteously.
And Geoff, remembering all that she
had suffered, was standing by her side,
when the earl was announced minute
later. The face of the latter bore un-
mistakable signs of uneasiness; it was
white and drawn. and there were fresh
lines about his mouth, and heavy sleep
less look about his eyes. A light dawned
on Lady Lettice.
"Father p she said again, holding out
her hands.
A smile crossed the Earls face; he
looked at his daughter, then at the
young man who stood protectingly at hel
side.
"You found her, understand he said,
land saved her, my poor little Lettice,
from what might have been an ugly fate.
I feel l owe her life to you, Mr.. Anstru-
ther, and am not insensible to the fact,
believe me-
"Lettice," turning to the graceful gir
whose beauty he seemed to recognize fol
the first time, ''are you coming home with
me ?''
She looked once more at Anstruther,
who stood knitting his brows in thought,
while queer smile played round his mobile
clean-shaven mouth. He was not hand
some-this ordinary looking young English.
man-but to Lettice he represented all that
was desirable at that moment
"My lord, he said suddenly" you car
pay that debt, if you will, by giving me
your daughter. love her, my lord, and
L am Tar from poor. Are you TOO pFouo
to let me win her p
Lettice raised heseeching eyes to hel
father face He had suffered much from
his conscience during the past week; he
must make amends now, whatever it cost
him.
"Lettice, you hear-are you willing p
he asked slowly.
The daughter he had known so little
threw her arms round his neck
81 love him, father she confessed,
and without more ado the Earl gave his
consent.
"After all, my lord, she will still be My
Lady Lettice,'' the happy young lover
said, when an hour later her parent carried
Lettice off to her own home once more.
And My Lady Lettice she still is-Lady
Lettice Anstruther.

His Name for it.

I was once teaching a class Of small
pupils in physiology in rural school and
asked the class what name was given to
the bones of the head as a whole. A little
girl raised her hand
"What it is, Lucy p 1 asked.
'Skull p she answered
Correct said 1 ''but what other
name has it?' expecting someone to
answer "cranium. All were silent for
a while, then little fellow who seemed
to be in deep study quickly raised his
hand, his eyes sparkling and confident
smile spreading over his face.
"What it is, Henry p | asked.
'Noggin,'' was his immediate reply.

Shocked into Generosity.

A small church was in need of repairs,
and meeting was being held to raise funds
for that purpose.
The minister having said $500 would be
required, wealthy (and equally stingy)
member of the congregation rose and said
he would give dollar. just as he sat
down lump of plaster fell from the cell
ing and hit him upon the head, whereupon
he rose hastily and called out that he had
made mistake-he would give $50. An
thusiast present, forgetful Of everything,
called out fervently, go Lord, hit him

NATURES WONDERLAND.

o wondrous and grand are the mountains fair.
That range away in the distant air,
And touched with the suns own colors rare,
In the skyfields OF eve and morn.
And Alp-like some their SUBMITS raise.
Their pinnaces and crowns abiaze.
With glory beams and purest rays,
AS ON temples old and grand.
And others, hill-like. range afar
By golden seas, whose ripping bar
Reflects, perhaps, the morning star,
That CLEANS so pure and mild.
And here and there the mountains through
Are placid lakes of deepest blue,
And opaline, and crystal, too,
That waveless, tideless, CLEAN.
Then over all there softly grows
crimson Lighter chance of rose,
That fiushes mount. and lake, and giows
Through all the cloudland fair.
And off through wonderland away
CO. at eve, or break of day,
Where nature holds her wondrous sway.
And charms my very soul.
Thus God doth grant me here at home
By mountain, sea and lake TO roam,
Till to Mount Zion's sea come
And view his wonders there.

All through this vale beneath the willow trees,
You weave your loving tangle ever fair;
Like cool green couch DER famed by scented breeze
Whereon lie, and look through depths of air.
Your cunning skill cannot but admire,
AS o'er the couch you place the yellow flowers,
And mid the green they glow like dying fire,
And drowsed, l rest through summers happ!
hours.
My thoughts run in and out like weaver's loom,
And all the clouds seem ships OH ocean blue.
You weave a tangle in fair natures room.
And in my thoughts you weave tangle, too

LADY Ruth's Last Card.

There are two letters" Aynesworth an
nounced which I have not opened. One,
think. is from the Warehouses of West
hampton. the other from some solicitors at
Truro. They were both marked private"
Wingrave was at breakfast in his fiat
Aynesworth had been in an adjoining room
sorting his correspondence. He accepted
the two letters. and glanced them through
,, without remark. But whereas he bestowed
scarcely seconds consideration upon the
broad sheet of white paper. with the small
coronet and the faint perfume of violets,
the second letter apparently caused him
some annoyance. He read 1t through for a
second time, with a slight frown upon his
forehead. -
You must cancel my engagements for
two days, Aynesworth,' he said. II have
to go out Of town.
Aynesworth nodded.
There's nothing very special on" he re-
marked DO you want me to go with
you?"
1T is not necessary" Wingrave answered
l am going" he added, after a moments
pause Ito Cornwall"
Aynesworth was immediately silent The
one time when Wingrave had spoken to
MIN as an employer was in answer to some
question of his as to what had eventually
become OF the treasures of Tredowen. He
hao always since scrupulously avoided the
subject.
