"Very well, then that is 'settled. Let us come across and see if any one has stepped in before as." Cecil, in great excitement, flew upstairs to tell hr mother, and re- appeared in a minute or two in her hat and jacket. Then the father and daughter crossed the quiet su- burban road to the opposite house, where such a different life-story had been lived. The door was opened to them by the nurse; she had evi- dently been crying, and even as they entered the passage they seem- ed conscious of the desolation f the whole atmosphere. "Oh, miss, have you heard the I verdict?" s.iid the servant, who 1 knew Cecil slightly, and was eager ifor sympathy. "And what's to be- ONLY A MONTH; OR, A CURIOUS MYSTERY EXPLAINED. CHAPTER VII. (Cont'd) "And I'm sure I don't know what I should do without you if you did get married, " said Mrs. Boniface, driving back the tears which h.vi started to her eyes, "BO I don't know why I am so anxious that it should i.ii:.- about, except that I should so like to see you happy." "And o I am happy, perfectly happy.' aui Cecil, and as he> spoke she suddenly bent forward and kissed her mother. "A girl would have u> fee very wicked not to be happy with you and father and Roy to live with. 1 ' Mr* Boniface was a Devonshire woman, and. notwithstanding her five-and-twenty years of London life, she still preserved something of her western accent and intona- tion ; -In- had also the gentle man- ner anil the quiet consideration and courtesy which seem innate in most west-country people. As to educa- tion. he had received the best that j to be had for tradesmen's daughters in the days of her youth, but she was well aware that it did not coine up to modern require- ment*, and had taken good care that Cecil should be brought up very differejitly. The opportunity for suggesting Cecil's plan to Mr. Boniface came soon after they reached home. Cecil was in th drawing-room, playing one of Chopin'a Ballades, when her father carae into the room. He stood by the fire till she had finished, watching her thoughtful- ly. He was an elderly man, tall and spare, with a small, shapely head, white hair and trim, white beard. His gray eye* were honest and kindly, like his son's, and the face was a good as well as refined face. "It is not to be supposed that every one should see from one point of view," he said to his wife. "We are all of us looking to the same sun, and that is the great thing." Such divisions must always be a little sad, but mutual love and mu- tual respect made them in this case a positire gain. There were no ar- guments, but each learned to see and admire what was good in the other's view, to hold sfoanchly to what was deemed right, and to live in that love which practically nul- lifies all petty divisions and differ- ences. ''And so I hear that you want to be mothering those little children over the way," said Mr. Boniface when the piece was ended. Cecil crossed the room and stood beside him. "What do you think about it, fa- ther t" she asked. "I think that before you decide you must realize that it will be a great responsibility." "I have thought of that," she said. "And of course there is the expense to be thought of." "Never mind about the expense; I will undertake that part of the matter if you will undertake the re- sponsibility. Do you quite realize that even pretty little children arc sometimes cross and naughty and illl" She* laughed. come of my little ones no one seems to know." "That is just what we came to in- quire about," said Mr. -Boniface. "We heard there were no relations to take charge of them. Is that truel" "There's not a creature in the world to care for them, sir," said the nurs. "There's the lawyer looking through master's papers now, sir, and he says we must be out of this by next week ; and that he must look up some sort of school where they'll take them cheap. A school for them little bits of things, sir, isn't it enough to break one's heart? And little Miss Gwen so delicate, and only a lawyer to choose it, as knows nothing but about parchments and red tape, sir, and hasn't so much as handled a child in his life, I'll be bound." "If Mr. Grantley's solicitor is here I should like to apeak to him for a minute," said Mr. Boniface. "I'll be with you again before long, Cecil ; perhaps you could see the children." He was shown to the study which had belonged to the master of the house, and unfolded Cecil's sugges- tion to the lawyer, which proved to be a much more fatherly sort of man than the nurse had represent- ed. "Things have gone hardly with poor Grantley," he remarked. "And such an offer will be the greatest possible surprise to him. I shall be seeing him once more to- morrow, and will let you know what he .says. But of course there can be but one answer ; he will thank- fully accept your help." Meanwhile Cecil had. been taken upstairs to the nursery. The nurse had gone into the adjoining room, but she quickly returned. "There are asleep, miss, but you'll come in and see them, won't you V ' Cecil had wished for this, and followed her guide into the dimly lighted night-nursery, where in two little cribs lay her future charges. Lancelot, the elder of the two, was just four years old ; he had a sweet, rosy, determined little face with a slightly Jewish look about it, his curly brown hair waa long enough to fall back over the pillow, and in his fat little hand he grasp- ed a toy horae, which was his in- separable companion night and day. The little girl was much smaller and much more fragile-looking, though 108 Cheques Will be Distributed Among Canadian Farmers. Will You Get One of Them?

MoairraJ The One Best Sugar for Preserving is Granulated When you pay a good price for your strawberries, and spend a lot ot time preparing, coolcing and bottling them, isn't it too bad only to get after all, preserves that "might have been better" ? Yet that is what you do get, unless you use the very best sugar as well as the finest fruit.

They were etill talking about the matter when Mr. Boniface rejoined them, the lawyer also came in, and. to the nurse's surprise, even looked at the sleeping children, "Quite hu- manlike," as she remarked after- ward to the cook. "Don't you distress yourself about the children." he said, kind- ly. "It will be all right for them. We shall know definitely about 't to-morrow ; bat this gentleman has very generously offered to take care of them." The nunie's tearful gratitude was interrupted by a sound from one of the cribs. Lanee. disturbed per- haps by the voices, was talking in his sleep. "Gtoe-up!" he shouted in exact imitation of a carter, aa he waved the toy horae in the air. Mr. Boniface and Cecil, after a few parting words with the happy servant, recrossed the road to Ro- wan Tre House. "Oh, father, it is 00 very good of you," said Cecil, slipping her arm into his; "I haven's been so happy for an age I" "And I am happy," h* replied, "that it is. suoh a thing aa this which pls>sos my daughter."

"You all sound very merry." said Roy, opening the door before the laugh which greeted this story had died away. "Why, how nice and early you are, Roy!" exclaimed Cecil. "Oh! mother has been telling us no end of stories, you ought to have been here to listen to them. And. Roy, we are moat likely going to have those little children over tlvo way to live with us till their fattier ; out of prison again." Roy seemed grave and preoccu- pied, but Cecil was too happy to notice that, and chattered on con- 1 tentedly. "X ou are tired to-night. Hoy," she said, when Cecil's story had ooruc '- an end.
