DdDOdlullh6 sllllneSS, III the DeauIY OF
the scene, in the peaceful satisfaction of
her heart, moved Alison to kneel down
among the roses, and breathe brief
thanksgiving for the duties she had been
strengthened to perform, for the fatherly
goodness that brought her back to the
home of her adoption, and for the human
love that was but dim reflection of the
Divine.
She did not hurry to go down, though
her luggage had not yet arrived, and there
was no possibility of changing her travel
ing dress. But when she had brushed her
brown hair, and put on her breast knot of
roses. she looked trim as ever, and her
bright, smiling face, as she opened the
studio door, brought the name Sunny TO
Miss Carrington's mind, for she looked
as all young faces should look-the very
essence of a sunbeam.
"Oh, Aunt Di, the dear. lovely room
And, oh, that is the new picture" spring
ing to the easel to gaze delightedly on
golden cornfelds, with scarlet peoples
struggling among the wheat like gaudy
promises never to ripen into fruit, and
under the hedge a little brown baby
sleeping, with its dimpled hand full of
weeds, and a sheep dog watching its
slumbers.

sold already. Lady Franklin fell in love
with it, but l want it to hang in next

from life; the original belongs to Barby,

away, you foolish child, and let me give
you something more satisfying than paint
ed canvas. The chickens came from Bar
by's farm, with the strawberries and this
jug of delicious cream"
Alison looked round rather bewildered,
for none of these tempting viands were
in sight but Miss Darlington, who knew
her love for meals al fresco, had had the
supper table laid in the wide veranda,
and not only chickens and strawberries,
but other delicacies were provided for the
hungry travellers.

Roger. as he carved for the ladies. mo

young things TO forget everything but
