unkind thought-are the flowers of

ter with him these days. He was as
white as a ghost, and as thin as a
shadder, and no wonder, neither, for
he didn't eat enough to keep body and
soul together
Yesterday itself she had cooked him
a chicken as good as l could get at
the Big House; done to a turn, too,
with nice bit of Irish bacon on top,
and a bowl of praties billed in their
jackets and a basin of beautiful new
butter milk" but no, never a taste
nor sup did he take of it.
It's just timpting Providence his
reverence is, and it'll be glory to God
if you'll tell him So"
Whats that you're saying about
his reverence, Mrs. Cassidy" cried
Father Dan from the upper landing

self with your fasting and praying
and your midnight calls at mountain
cabins, and never ha-porth of any
thing in your stomach to do II on"
whist, then, Mrs. Cassidy, it's tay-
time, isn't it? SO just step back to
your kitchen and put on your kittle,
and bring up two Of your best china
cups and saucers, and a nice piece of
buttered toast, not forgetting a Thin
bleful Of something neat, and then it's

tOirely to be waiting for once on the

He was laughing Is he let loose his
Irish tongue, but l could see that his
housekeeper had not been wrong, and
that he looked worn and troubled.

his coy study and put me to sit in
the big chair before the peat and
wood fire, l would have begun on my
errand, but not a word would he hear
