My mother dropped back into her

wiping her eyes on her black apron
she only wept when my father was
present-proceeded to explain.

I've been up early and late and made

In his anger and Impotence my
father could listen no longer, and, in
his loud voice, he said:

TWELFTH CHAPTER.

IF our journey to Rome nothing
remains to me but the memory
OF sleeping in different beds in
different towns, OF trains screaming
through tunnels and slowing down in
glass-roofed railway stations, of end
less crowds OF people moving here and
there in a sort OF maze. nothing but
this and the sense Of being very little
and very helpless and of having to be
careful not to lose sight OF Father
Dan, for fear OF being lost--until the
afternoon of the fourth day after we
left home.

my journey to Rome. The old colored
rattern book was brought out again,
material was sent for, sewing maid
was engaged from the village, and,
above all, in my view, an order dis
patched to Blackwater for a small
squirrel-skin scarf, large squared
skin muff, and lose-fltting squirrel
skin hat with feather on the side
Of it.
A child's heart is a running brook,
and it would wrong the truth to say
that / grieved much in the midst of
these busy preparations. On the con-
trary, I felt a sort of pride in them,
poor innocent that was, as in some
thing that gave me certain high SUI
periority over Betsy Beauty and Mes
~ Macleod, and entitled me to treat
them with condescension.

that I must be a good girl to every

MY little woman would be sorry
to worry mamma, wouldn't she?" he
would whisper, and when l answered
that I would be sorrier than sorry, ne

"Wisha then, she must be brave.
She must keep up. She must not
grieve about going away or cry when
the time comes for parting"
A Sad Goodbye.

played was easier to me than to her.

business"
My mother was crushed Her lips
moved again, but she said nothing
aloud, and my father turned on his
heel and left the room, shaking the
floor at every step under the weight
of his sixteen stone. At the next mo-
ment Aunt Bridget, jingling her keys,
went tripping after him.
Hardly had they gone when my
mother broke into long At of cough
ing, and when it was over she lay
back exhausted, with her white face
and her tired eyes turned upward.
Then I clasped her about the neck,
and Father Dan, whose cheeks were
wet with tears, patted her dropping
hand
My darling mother! Never once
have I thought of her without the

piece of cold boiled potato on sheet
of paper with the fingers
Scorch marks on linen may be re-

at dawn and was at breakfast in the
room below.
My mother and / breakfasted in
bed, and then there was great com
motion. 1t chiefly consisted for me
in putting on my new clothes, includ-
ing my furs, and then turning round
and round on tiptoe and smiling at
myself in a mirror. I was doing this
while my mother was telling me to
write to her as often as I was al
lowed, and while she knelt at her
prayer stool. which she used as a
desk, to make a copy of the address
for my letters.
Then l noticed that the first line Of
her superscription, Mrs. Daniel
O'Neill," was blurred by the tears
that were dropping from her eyes,
and my throat began to hurt me
dreadfully. But l remembered what
Father Dan had told me to do, so
said:

Soon afterward we heard the car
riage wheels passing under the win

funny bag which he used for his sur
plice at funerals, and said through
little cloud of white breath, that ev-

who was standing at the threshold.
squeezed back the water In my eyes
and cried:
Good bye, nanny. I'll be back
for Christmas" and then darted
across to the door.
1 was just passing through it when
I heard my mother say Mary" in
strange low voice, and turned and
saw her-I can see her still--with her
beautiful pale face all broken up. and
her arms held out to me.
Then I rushed back to her, and she
clasped me to her breast, crying.
"Mally veeni My Mally veen!" and
could feel her heart beating through
her dress and hear the husky rattle
in her throat, and then all our poor
little game OF e-believe broke
down utterly.
At the next moment my father was
calling upstairs that ! should be late
for the steamer. so my mother dried
her own eyes and then mine, and let
me go.
Father Dan was gone when
reached the head OF the stairs, but
seeing Messy Macleod and Betsy
Beauty at the bottom of them l soon
recovered my composure, and sailing
down in my finery passed them In
stately silence with my little birdlike
mead in the air.

I intended to do the same with
Aunt Bridget, who was standing
with a shawl over her shoulders by
the open door, but she touched me
and said
Aren't you going to kiss me
goodbye. then?"
NO" l answered, drawing my
little body to it's utmost height.
And why not?"
Because you've been unkind TO
mamma and cruel to me, and because
you think there's nobody but Betsy
Beauty. And I'll tell them at the

my gracious!" said Aunt Bridget
and she tried to laugh, but l could
see that her face became as white as
a whitewashed wall. This did not
trouble me in the least until I reached
the carriage, when Father Dan, who
was sitting inside, said:
my little Mary won't leave home
like that-without kissing her aunt
and saying goodbye to her cousins"
So I returned and shook hands
with Messy Macleod and Betsy
Beauty and lifted my little face to
my Aunt Bridget.
That's better" she said, after she
had kissed me, but when had passed
her my quick little ear caught the
words:
Good thing she's going. though"
During this time my father with
the morning mist playing like boar
frost about his iron-gray hair. had
been tramping the gravel and saying
the horses were getting cold, so with
out more ado he bundled me into the
carriage and banged the door on me.

But hardly had we started when
Father Dan. who was blinking his
little eyes and pretending to blow his
nose on his colored print handker-
chief said, Look" and pointed up
to my mothers room.
There she was again, waving and
kissing her hand to me through her
open window, and she continued to
do so until we swirled round some
trees and lost the sight of her.
