CHAPTER II.

Goodbye, Arthur! God bless
her tears
The whole family had accompanied
him to the station. There they stood,
all thirteen of them, on the platform.
Arthur thought to himself that they
were an uncommonly good-looking
family, and he wondered how far
sixty pounds year would go to re-
place the shabby, black cashmere
gowns that Janet and lola wore.
Reginald was so Disguised at their
all having come that he walked off
to the upper end of the platform and
tried to look as if they did not belong
to him. He did not think them good
looking at all; on the contrary, he
thought the children hideous, and as
for Tommy-the vulgarity Of that
boy!
Take care of yourself, my boy"
said his father.
give Aunt Betsy my blessing"
said Tommy; and when the train
moved off, he flung an old slipper
Janet slipped away and joined
Reggie.
"Oh, Reggie" she said, Il wish it
had been you"
Thank you for nothing, my dear!
am thankful it isn't"
But, after all, perhaps, if Uncle
Alfred had only persevered little, he
would have seen what pity it was;
so much talent!"
Cannon" said Reggie, who, with
all his faults, was too much of an
Englishman to stand fiattery. Good
gracious, Janetl there is Colonel Cur
tbs, and you are, such guy. Do, for
goodness sake, efface yourself among
the rabble.
Janet drew up her naughty little
head.
IF he cares about my Dress
she said.
Dress by hanged" said Reggie
sharply. "At least you should look
like lady"
Colonel Curtis was advancing to-
ward them. Janet meant to stand
her ground, but her brothers words
brought the tears rushing into her
eyes, and she was obliged to retreat
quickly, and take refuge among the
children.
Colonel Curtis eyed the retreating
eleven wistfully, but it was more than
he could do to join them. That
would have been too formidable.
Reggie was advancing upon him with
a cordial smile, but he was too much
disappointed to wish to talk to that
vapid youth, so he only nodded to
him and went on, and Reggie walked
home by roundabout route to avoid
the cavalcade.
Arthur arrived in Liverpool about
Z o'clock. He was full of interest and
curiosity about his new home, and his
mind was too much occupied with the
hopes and fears which chased each
other therein, to have room for shy
ness, even when the moment arrived
in which he found himself being con-
Quoted by footman into the library
of his uncle.
Poor Arthur! A little pang shot
through him as the contrast struck
him forcibly between this solid, hand
some, comfortable apartment, rich
with useful and interesting books,
and the poor, old, shabby room at
home. The contrast between the two
brothers was much the same. The
shabby, gentle, peevish Squire, with
his sad face and threadbare coat, and
the smart, stout, dapper, old gentle
man with his thick black hair
brushed into formidable cockatoo
tuft on his head. and his clothes of
the best make and quality. Mr.. AL
fred Denstone was not alone; his
wife and one guest were already as
sembled for dinner.

There are plenty of boys and girls
for whom education is the best thing,
who have but a limited power of abb
sorbing cSlture and on whom 1t
would be thrown away They can
easily be picked out by the time their
school days are over. They may as
well be plunged into education at
once. The necessity Of earning a
living, sr the satisfaction derived
from learning something useful is
probable the only motive that will
drive them to acquire knowledge, and
this should be appealed to remorse-
lessly, argues Emily James Putnam,
In Putnam's. Every sort of profess

AS an example of this quiet but
steady entry of women into public
life, the writer, suggests the New
York Evening Post, might have cited
the election in the most conservative
of all English cities, Oxford, as town
councillor, at the head Of the poll. of
Miss Merivale, daughter Of the dis
tinguished historian, an expert in the
matter of hygiene and of housing the
poor. Certainly, no breaking up of
meetings or attacking policemen, or
raiding of the House of Commons,
brought about so revolutionary an
election as this. 1t would not have
been possible had there not been
the years of quiet preparation OF the
British public for such change.

"You are clever, and, like most
clever people, a little heartless. You
know how things are different down
there. The people are different-why,
we are different ourselves. And it is
lust the difference of which you
speak-the difference between these
flowers and flowers of silk and satin,
between those lilies out there and lily
stems of wire and paper"
You are a little unkind, Jack" she
said. gently.
The soft reproof, more suggestive OF
tears than anger, brought the story
to his very lips. He wondered how
he should tell it. Then an old schoolboy
trick came back to him. He brought out
his penknife. Beside them was a little
spruce and in the soft, flaky bark he
carved a heart. Within its lines he
dug deeply the initials of two people.
The girl caught her breath and blushed
a little, which are the proper and Gus
tomary things for a girl to do at such
a time.
Then he told her what was in his
| mind. It left her a little panic-stricken
and she took the refuge her sisters al
way have taken-she asked him to
wait for his answer.

She thought she was putting him
on a most proper probation. 1t was
only a woman's reluctance to give w
her freedom.
But he took her at her word. Next
day he went away.
Back in town again, at first. he saw
her often. His restraint she imagined
was resentment. In November, {

they quarreled. That was six weeks
ago.
All that six weeks he pondered thu

to end the suspense and still keep hi

and who is now doing his level
best to help keep that town
straight, for picture of "Rock

the representation of what looks
like a small canary bird cage on
rollers, sitting way out in an
open prairie. with a couple oil
old mules, both sound asleep
attached to one end-of the cage,
we mean--not of the prairie.
Between the sleeping team and
the cage ,and at safe distance
from the heels OF the former,

GuaI OF unknown color. The
entire outfit might easily be lost

only possible basis, foundation

Last winter, when William

attended an informal reception,
for men only. He had told
number of clean, witty stories,
when suddenly man, a strang.
er, edged through the crowd
and began to joke with Mr.. Bry-

this, as it was game of CONVEX
sational give and take. Sudden,
ly from the lips of the stranger
there fell single coarse remark.
The Commoner's jaw set like
steel trap, and his eyes snap
ped. The stranger was quickly
hustled out of the room.
"He was a stranger, Mr., Bry-
an" said one present, "and had
no business here. We beg your
pardon for this occurrence.
"Never mind me-" said Mr..
Bryan, his eyes softening. "The
mans ill judged remark did me
no harm, and | know he had no
business here, but" pointing

watching the scene and waiting
for a handshake-"it was not
just the sort OF speech lor the
