The style was seen first when three

to pull a girl to pieces. We didn't do it

CHAPTER XIV.


There was merry breakfast on the
veranda next morning, and Alison, in her
white dress, with some dewy roses as a
breast knot, looked the picture of hap
piness as she poured out the coffee.
Directly it was over, Greville took her
and Roger to see his grandfather.
Mr.. Moore was eagerly expecting them
even before Alison's foot had passed over
the threshold his sightless eyes were turn
ed to the window, and his Welcome,
Sunny" reached her ears.
In another moment Alison was occu-
plying her old footstool at his feet, and
his fine wrinkled hand, little more trem-
bling than of old, was placed on her hair,
with half audible blessing.
Dear Mr.. Moore, l am so glad to see
you again"
"Have you missed us, little one? Not
half as much as we have missed Sunny
And as she pressed her lips to his hand
in mute contradiction of this. he said, half
sadly: "Child, l never thought to have
heard your sweet voice again, but the
good God would have it otherwise. Be-
fore the message reached me it was re-
called: the gates were almost closed in
my face"
'"Thank God for that" she whispered /;
"but they never told me that you were
i'll until you were we'll again"
"Ah, Miss Darlington is wise wom-
an; she thinks it wrong to burden young
spirits with sorrows that do not belong
to them. My boy there nearly broke his
heart about the old man can you believe
it, Sunny?"
"You are like his own father" she re-
turned, softly. 'He is outside on the
yeranda with Roger. Are you well
enough to speak to Roger?'
GAY, ready and willing; he has grown
a fine lad, 1 hear" And as Alison beck
oned to them the two young men came IN
through the window, and Roger sat down
by the old mans side.

Opposition to this bill is expected
to materialize In plenty. Many hold
that the present system Of separating
the sexes In the State educational In
stitutiOns is much the better and
more practical plan. Better results
are obtained, and then a separation
of the sexes seems to lend to the
individual institution distinction and
dignity that places II high above the
standard Of the cOeducational schools.
