was taken direct to the home Of tbe
Misses. Coverdale, in Groevenor

these good ladiee, and welcomed as
cordially as though they bad known
her all their lives. She was accepted
md treated as on equal, and their
greetings, Rnd their treatment of her
was 80 cordial aud sincere-so free
from pretense and cant, that she at
~once forgot that che was of a differ
ent race and realized that she was
only woman. Seated in comfort

OF the eldest OF these ladies, she told

the time Of the birth of her boy Phil

when the boy was but ttr5e years of

immersed i'm an important case and she
was not expecting him. Nor was she

Only occa sionally did she visit Aline.

Aline did not care much for her, but she
looked at her with ungrudging admira-

Aline fed to her room. There was no

have her demolished dreams discussed,
even though Aunt James angry words
were reused by love.
The next day was long and dreary.
