Mr.. Methven had not seen his
they had spent abroad, although he
had twice gotten as far as England
In his journeys to visit them, when
he was recalled by urgent business.
So he was scarcely prepared for the
great changes the years had wrought
In their appearance. Mrs. Methven
on the other hand had been with
them constantly, both while they
were in school in Brussels and dur
ing their subsequent travels. This
with the exception Of three months
their Aunt Hattie had spent with
them, during which, knowing the
girls were in good hands, Mrs. Meth
ven had gone home to see her hus-
band.
"Jove!" said Marshall rapturously,
in an aside to Mr.. Methyen when
Doris and Marine were eagerly look
ing out of the carriage at the IA
miliar sights, and chattering the
while like magpies. "If those girls
don't create Juror among the
the gilded youth of this town, miss
my guess"
Mr.. Methven smiled with fatherly
pride.
''They are a bit young to go out
much" he said. But even though
they are my daughters, I must pro-
nounce them a stunning-looking
team"

CHAPTER XLVIII.

1t was Christmas morning and
Marine and Doris arose bright and
early; for besides inspecting their
own gifts, they had lots to do.
Marine had brought presents from
abroad for Mrs. Weber and Miss
Leavitt and Bertha Baker. for she
had by no means forgotten her old
friends in her prosperity. Indeed
she had occasionally written letters
to all of them, but she had not ap-
prised them of her intended return.
This morning she meant to visit
the asylum and surprise them. Mrs.
Weber was still the matron of st.
Luke's, and on Christmas Miss
Leavitt would be sure to be found
there, although she was no longer
the regular asylum teacher. AS for
Bertha, she had outgrown her right
to live at the asylum, (she was now
past sixteen) but the directors had
taken pity upon her on account Of
her helpless condition and al
lowed her to remain. In return for
this consideration, Bertha made
herself as useful as she could to Mrs.
Weber.
OF course the first thing for Mar
ME and Doris to do, when they arose
this bright Christmas morning, was
to look at their own presents. The
girls both received unlimited books
and trinkets and Mrs. Methven gave
each of her daughters a handsome
necklace from her store of family
Jewels Marines was Of priceless
rubies, and that which fell to the
lot of Doris was of pearls. Marine
thought that her cup of happiness
was about full, but she found later
that there was still more in store fol-
her.
You have not seen my present:
yet" Marshall announced after Dori.
and Marine had admired and ex
claimed over their lovely things.
They were rather large" he con
tinued, and I could not bring then
into the drawing-room. In fact 70,

and Doris in the same breath.

with the stable.
