"He thinks that good taste tries to conceal a sorrow, doesn‘t make a parade of it." ‘"Really!" Mrs. Thompson‘s tone was friendly, but Marah divined that she had little reverence for either Dr. Langdon or his. opinions. This pained her, but she did not resent it She felt that |it was part of the blind prejudice of the world in general against a great man. "You don‘t look like your father," eald Mre. Thompson, turning so that che might take a etill more careful survey of her young cousin,. "Nor like your mother either. You are very dark, aren‘t you!â€"as dark as I am fairâ€"we make a good conâ€" trast." Again her gaze wandered to the mirror. ‘Not on our side, at any rate," proâ€" tested Mre. Thompson. "Our family are all fairâ€"but of counse you weren‘t gerioue!" My two children are like their poor fatherâ€"In everyâ€" thingâ€"looks and disposition. ‘They are fih{i too, as he was, and coldâ€" very ew â€" England,â€"so different from me!" She laughed with an air of apologising prettily for her weakâ€" ness of character. ‘"You must see Phobe," she went on. "I want you to know us all as eoon as you can. Bhe was out here on the porch half an hour ago. I will call her." The windows at the side of the room opened on a small veranda. Mrs. Thompson went to them and pushed open the gréen shutters, letting in the warm, eweetâ€"scented, Outâ€"ofâ€" doors air. ‘"Phebe!" she called in her high shrill volce; ‘"Phebe!" There was some inaudible response from outside, then the eound of a light, approaching footstep and a tall but childish figure appeared in the opening between the shutters. "I expect I had an Indian ancestor somewhere," Marah said, laughing. "You are surprised, perhaps, to see me in white?" she asked. Marah made some incoherent reply to which Mrs. Thompson paild no atâ€" tention. "Izdo it for the children‘s sake," she went on. "They hate to see me in blackâ€"and in these warm days!â€"* . ‘ ‘"This is _ Phebe," said _ Mrs Thompeon. 7 The young girl came forward slowly, like a shy but wellâ€"broughtâ€" up child. Then she turned e0 that the light fell on her face and held out her hand: "I‘m e0 glad tat you have come, Cousin Marah," she said. She had a ~ Marah could distinguish little more than an outline and a halo of waving hair br‘l‘htened into copper colour by the light behind it. "Emeline‘sâ€" daughter," were her j finst words, not breathed with any excess Of sentimentality, but as an ‘ amiable statement and acceptance of fact. Marah kissed her cpysin and observed that her cheejg was firm and peréumed and that hef blue, paleâ€"lashed éyes were lees childlike than the general blonde eoftness of her personality might Have led one to picture them. Mrs. Thompson put her arm through Marah‘s and led her into a large, front room which seemed to the girl very dark and close and overcrowded with furniâ€" ture. Hugh‘s retreating footsteps, accompanied by low, but exultant whistling, could be heard from the hall. His duty was done and he was retiring from the. scene. "What a little creature you are!" said Mrs. Thompson, still holding Marah by the arm, "like a child, and «o thin. ‘But you have plenty of time to grow etout in. I only weighed ninety pounds when I was of your age." _ _ "I don‘t think you arpe very fat now, Cousin Cora," replied Merah. She had clearly said the right thing for her cousin gave a pleased laugh. «‘"Nonsense!" she cried. _ "No one thinks of looks at my age!" Her glance stole sideways to her dim reflection in the mirror over the chimneyâ€"piece. Marah jumped down from the moâ€" torâ€"car, without waiting for Hugh‘s assistance, and ran Impulsively up the steps while her cousin came forâ€" ward to meet here. _. Marah had barely time to take in these first impressions when the fiâ€" gure Of a lady appeared behind the door which had. been opened by a servant. > « ) 2 This lady was short and rather plump, with a great deal of yeliow hair arranged in elaborate puffs and curle. She had small features, a thin curved nose like the beak 1{1. finch, and a soft little double chin. Her complexzion was very pink and white and she had tiny hands and feet.

With a kind of ecâ€" wtaey she drank in the eplendour of this sudden revelation, absorbed by it. forgetful of everything else, for she saw it with the intensity of feelâ€" ing given to those whose past holds nothing to regret and ‘whose future is all expectation and the promise of joy. â€" The first few weeks Marah spent in the ‘Thompson‘s home passed quickly enough though little oc curred beyond the usual routine of life in a quiet suburban villa. Marah, while she talked and walked with frer cousins, was makln}thnt careful Inventory of new surroundings which She kept her mind scrupulously unprejudiced and receptive. If anyâ€" thing puzzled or astonished her she put it down to her ignorance 0f New York customs and modes of thought. She was even prepared to be shocked, admitting the narrowâ€"mindâ€" edness of her village point of view, but so far this had not happened. Everything in her cousin Cora‘s house was almost selfâ€"consoiously decorous; there was a careful reâ€" pression of impulse and spontaneity which nearly resulted in dullness. .She went to the window. Her room was at the back of the housée and looked out over a stretch of amoothâ€" ly clipped lawn to aong Island smind. The sun waa‘@etting and the sky and water glowed with delicate, evanescent colours, rose and blue and violet. BEven: the air seemed throbbing with colour more than light. A few hazy and delicate clouds crifted across the evening sky. It was one of those magical moments when nature seems to grow imagiâ€" uative, forgets her routine and, givâ€" ing way to caprice, transforms the universe into some miracle of unâ€" fathomable beauty. with human ‘beings is as customar} and instinctive as with the animals. Miso Turner of Union Boulevard, Kitchener, a passenger in a sedan car driven bÂ¥ Ed. Buchholz, in the Waterloo Park, was the victim of a ball thrown filrou&h the winâ€" dow. George Hauser, the thrower, told the police he would pay all dlnmages caused by the broken glass. Mre. Thompson had evidently a high conception of the proprieties and lived up to it in the most painâ€" staking manner. Marah assenting to this, she went with ‘her to a room on the top floor, pJainly _/ butâ€" _ prettily _ furnished, showed her where the bell was and where the electric light could be turned on. She was all kindness and warm consideration, Marah‘s heart glowed. "How sweet she is!" che thought, girlishly, after Mre. Thompâ€" son had left her alone. "I am going to be very happy here." "Yes," essented Phebe, "I like stories." . ~"But you must be tired after your long journey, and I‘m sure you want to go to your room. They have taken up your bag and your trunks will be here, soon, I dare say!" There was a moment‘s silence, during which Marah thought again of her father and sisters as they had looked standing in a row on the station platform that morning, then Mre. Thompsomsaid briskly: eays‘" She laughedâ€"as she spoke and a dimple showed in her cheek. Marah lost thefeeling that she was unugual in any way and was consâ€" clous only that she ceemed a very nice little girl. ‘‘Fourteen is the storyâ€"book ago," she said. "Story books are ‘never as nice as when one is fourteen." ‘"You were reading one when I called you, weren‘t you?" asked Mrs, Thompson. ‘"What was it?" _ _ Her mother looked at Marah, sigâ€" nificantly, â€" with raised eyebrows. She seemed to be saying again, but without words: "You see she is not in the least like me." "It waen‘t exactly a story," said Phebe. "It was ‘The Book of the Scented Garden,‘â€"just names of flowere." M f "I am fourteen," Phebe replied, "too old for dolis and too young for anything else,â€"that‘s what Mother "She will eoon be grown up; such & m& girl!

Wa Dawson, now living retired at Brantford.« Ordinarily this would seem just a bit of news but in turnâ€" ing back the pages we find it to be more than an every day occurrence. It is nearly fiftyâ€"five years ago that Mr. Daweon daunched the "Indepenâ€" dent‘" on the.sea of newspaperdom and we were pleased to see him look so robust and hearty at his adâ€" venced age. The "Independent" was primarily started by Mr. Dawson to enhance the prospects of the elecâ€" tion of Samuel Merner of this town in the Federal election of 1878. Mr. Merner, a former etaunch liberal, ran Re an. Independent candidate against the Hon. James Young, Liberal. Mr. Merner was elected and joined the forces of the then Premier Sir John A. MacDonald, by whom he was laâ€" ter elevated to the Senate. That the efforts of Mr. Daweon in that camâ€" paign bore fruit was evidenced in the fact that only 13 votes were cast against his candidate here and old timere maintain that Mr. Merner‘s brother was one of the thirteen.
