about Frithiof, it is a trying time ONLY/s. CHAPTER XXIX. It is of course P. truism that we never fully have, until some trouble or suite other loss shows grown familiar before, Frithiof had never until now quite .ealimd what it meant to him. But as cat-h evening he returned from wo'k. and from the severe trial of" an atmosphere of suspicion and dislike, he felt much‘ as the sailor feels when, after tos- sing about all day in stormy seas he anchors at night in some harbor, of refuge. Sigrid knew that he felt: this, and she was determined that he should not even guess her trou-i ble. It was with her certainly as she went about her household work, ‘ with her as she and Swanhild walk-v ed through the hot and crowded‘ streets, and with her as she played at Mme. Lechertier’s Academy. But! there was something in the work' that prevented the trouble from really preying on her mind; she was sad indeed, yet not in despair. Nevertheless, Mme. Lechertier’s- quick eyes noted at once the changel in her favorite. “You are not well, cherie,” she said, “your face looks worn. Why my dear, I can actually see lines in' your forehead. At your age that Is inexcusable.” Sigrid laughed. “I have a bad habit of wrinkling. it up when I am worried about any-l thing," she said. “To-day. perhasz I am a little tired. It is so hot and, sultry, and besides I am anxious for him.” “Yes, this heat is trying to the strongest,” said Mme. Lechertier. “Swanhild. my angel, there are some new bonbons in that box; help yourself.” - The child was never happier than| When hard at work at the academy; even on this hot summer day she never complained; and in truth the afternoons just brought the right amount of variety into what would otherwise have been a very mouo-, tonous life. “Sigrid.” said the little girl, as, they walked home together, “is it true what you said to Madame Lechertier about Frithiof feelingl the heat? Is it really that which] has made him so grave the last; few days?” "It is partly that,” replied Sig- rid. “But he has a good deal to trouble him that you are too young, to understand, things that will not5 bear talking about. You must try to make it bright and cheerful at home.” . Next morning (Sundavl was so bright that Sigrid persuaded him to- take a walk, and fully intending to. return in an hour’s time to his; translating, he paced along thex Embankment.
