Eat for the Eun of II.

According to Mr.. Herbert w. Fisher
in Worlds Work food is of no use to
us unless we enjoy it. Mr.. Fisher does
not, however, recommend us to be
gluttons. He says the less we eat the
more pleasure we shall get. The prin-
.ciple is that If we eat little we shall
taste much. And the taste of food,
not the amount, is, after all, the lure
of It.

CHAPTER vi.

Gormly Announces His Candidacy.
The hall into which Miss Haldane
stepped early the next morning had
been transformed into perfect bower
of winter beauty. There had been no
time to buy anything; but the most
available pine trees on the place, of
which there were several, had been
ruthlessly sacrificed, and under CORN
ly's personal supervision the hall, a
magnificent apartment under any cir
cumstances, had been lavishly decor
ated with the fragrant evergreen in
honor of Christmas.
Gormly had been busy during the
night. He actually had not slept a
wink. So soon as he had got the
party safely to bed, he had gone to
or anyone
else who could do so, he had himself
ridden across the country through the
snow and storm, which was even then
dying out, to notify the people at the
Haldane place of the predicament of
the family and to arrange that maids
and men with proper clothing should
be brought over to his own cottage
early in the morning.
Hence Miss Haldane was under no
necessity of appearing in evening cos
tune at eight o'clock in the morning,
or of making guy of herself in Mrs.
Bullen's extraordinary attire. She had
learned, of course, from her maid how
the news had been brought and how
she happened to be there with the
change of apparel.
Miss Haldane had not slept very
well; for one reason her thoughts had
dwelt increasingly upon that strange
conversation she had had with her
host. She had awakened earlier than
the rest, had dressed Immediately, and
had descended to the hall in hope of
seeing him. Her pleasure and salts
faction sparkled in her eyes as she
extended her hand.
How delightfully."- Christmaslike is
the room; how good it smells!" she
said after the first words of greeting. |
Il am glad indeed that it pleases
you," answered Gormly, smiling "And |
If you will permit me, will repeat my |
words of last night, or early this morn
ing. and wish you again a very Mer-
ry Christmas and a Happy New Year
as we'll"
And will give you back your wish
with interest" returned Miss Haldane,
''as l did last night / am sure that
we are all intensely grateful to you for
your forethought in having the maids
and clothes brought over. Felice, my
maid, has told me that you rode over
yourself very early this morning to
carry the news of our plight, and to
bring them. 1t must have been hard
riding"
1T took me back to boyhood days,
Miss Haldane"

luctant answer, although the greater
part of my boyhood was not spent in ]
