IF she would only consent to stay here

DO you think she would?'
Go and ask her" said l.,
She was asked but DR.. Awdrey was
tae negotiator. for Flermore had not the
courage Of a mouse. And Nurse Gertrude
Misunderstanding aside all other con-
siderations for the sake of the child whose
love had won her heart So DR.. Awdrey
put 1t; for my own part / could not SEQ
what sacrifice she had made In exchAng-
ing a close hospital ward for . pleasant
and airy house, and an ili-paid slavery
for very remunerative position where
she was free to do just as she liked. No |;
looked upon it that the young lady, to-
gether with other very good qualities, had
very clear perception Of her duty to
herself and that she foresaw as plainly
as | did that sooner or later she would
become Mrs. Flexmore.
However, to stick to the facts Of the
case that day Nurse Gertrude came down
to dinner without the becoming little cap
which had previously distinguished her
as an official nurse; and II we had come
to think her pretty in her cap, we were
| bound to admit that she looked still nicer
without it--her pretty hair drawn neatly
up and coiled plainly on her head.
We have flower show In our town
once year. The first day is the best,
| of course, and, the prices excluding the
poorer kind of people, only the upper sort
are there. There was a rumor that titled
visitors were staying with the Casely's,
and that probably they would visit the
show In the afternoon wherefore you
may be sure that Mrs. Yeames and her
"superiah" set were all there IN full
| feather. N
About three O'Clock l saw Miss Dali
rympie come in with Laure; she never
missed any occasion of giving pleasure to
the child, or of taking 1t herself for that
matter. She was plainly dressed but
to my mind, there was no more elegant
young lady there. Mrs. Yeames with
three OF her finest friends stopped them
and with the most distant patronizing In
clnation of their heads to Miss Dalrym'
pie, bent down to kiss Laure, and ask
after her poor, dear papa. Then Mrs
Yeames, taking the childs hand, - hel
to bank of cut flowers, asking hei
whether she could spell the labels at
tached.
In the midst of this instructive displa,
of her own requirements there was fut
ter amongst the visitors, and word wa.
whispered that Mrs. Casey had arrived
and had brought Lord Dunover with her
And there, sure enough, was Mrs. Casely
with tall, white-haired, aristocratic ole
gentleman, coming right down upon tn,
little party. There was not time to ge
away from little Laure and that horrit
nurse Gertrude, when Mrs. Casely me
them and introduced his lordship. Dun
over bowed stiffiy, but suddenly catchin,
sight of Miss Dalrymple. his face becam,
illumined with smile OF heartfelt pleas
ure, and exclaiming, What, Gertie. m.
dear, you here - he took her by boil
hands and kissed her pretty lips. Ther
turning to Mrs. Casely, he said:
MRS. Casey, let me introduce you I,
my mecca little democrat who almos
shakes my class prejudice, for she prefer
independence as a hospital nurse to shar
ing the fallen fortunes of her family"
Then 1t was known that Miss Dalrym
pie was actually the niece of an earl
And she and Laure spent a week a
Casely Manor, where Mrs. Yeames an,
her "superiah" set had never been allow
ed to stay longer than half an hour.
