agreed upon at so per ton. This is an
increase of about 80 per ton over the
price received by the farmers last

I Think hope-Anna-may be able ia

what makes you think SO, dear?" she
thought had occurred to her.
1T is Rogers manner; it has changed
so much of late. Once he used to be as
friendly with Anna, but now he never
mentions her name if he can help it, but
when any one talks of her I can see the
way he listens, and the look that comes
into his eyes; he is always so pleased
when 1 tell him she is coming to The
Holms, and he is so nice with her, speak
ing so gently to her, and anticipating all
her wishes; you could not doubt what
it meant if you saw them together. And
she is just as sweet to him as one could
wish-very shy, but SO simple and child
like"
"She is dear little thing, and dare
say she has improved"
Eyes, indeed, even Missile owns she is
almost pretty sometimes; not that that
matters, when she always looks SO sweet
and good. Oh, Aunt Di, have grown to
love her So"
Roger is a wise man." observed Miss
Darlington, thoughtfully eff he chooses
Anna for his wife he will find her GER

of kindness in her lips; l never knew
any one so perfectly gentle"
"Missie is actually growing fond OF
her; they will be nice companions for
each other when leave home. oh, Aunt
Di, how beautifully everything has turned
out. Papa is better, and Missile is grow
ing more amiable every day; Rudel is not
so rough, and Poppie is the dearest little
SOUL and Miss Leigh is so much more
cheerful"
Heaven has accepted our sacrifice,
Allie" returned Aunt Diana, solemnly |;
"a blessing has come down on your Ell
forts in a way we never expected"
"'Give and it shall be given to you

Darling, l never loved you so much
