" Why am I not good i” she asked. “ You never say your prayers and you laugh at things.” “ My dear child, to complete all, you should have your hair cut close, and a broad rimmed hat: you are quite a Puritan.” “ I say prayers,” he continued with an air of patronage; “and I do not tell liesâ€"Mr. Dorman says they are cowardly." “ You do not seem inclined to hide your light under a bushel,” said “mi- ladi,” with another laugh. “ You have been learning at a fine rate.” Vivien almost trembled for the re- sult, but Lady Neslie seemed more amused than anything else. She had been at home two or three days before she found out about the lessons, and during. that time they found a great difference in her.

Therefore she sent it down by means of a strong metal wire, stretched from the val- ley up to the mountain-top.

Just as the mother had fastened the first bundle to the wire, and had launched it on its downward course, her wedding ring the rope with which the bundle was tied, and in a flash she was carried off her feet.
