" How old do you think I am then ?" I asked, struck by something in ber tone. "I know that," cooed the girl, tuckâ€" ing hber bhand lovingliy under the maâ€" ternal arm. Then, after a pause, she said, "What a lot of nice places and nice people you must have seen in all the years you have travelled about, Mr. Maude." "Perbaps not. But all mothers are not like yours." "Wasn‘t ste in rags, too, _ then?" asked Babiole. "Oh. no, she was rather pleturesqueâ€" ly got up." _ "‘Then I should think she was not his mother at all." The rest of the evening passed pleasantly enough in the ransacking of ‘my cabinets ol curiosities ; Mrs. Elimer, who proved to be a connoilsâ€" seur of more things than china, took delight in the value of the treasures themselves, while Babiole pleased herself with such as she. thought beautiful, and _ enjoyed particularly the stories I told about the places I had found them in, and the ways in which I had picked them up. She grew radiant over the preâ€" sent _ of a Venetian bead neckâ€" lace, â€" such as can be bought In _ the _ Burlington _ Arcade _ for a â€" few _ shillings; but when I told her it was a souvenir from a woman whose child I had saved from drowning, het joy in her new treaâ€" sure was suddenly turned to reverâ€" ence. How did I do it ? It was a very simple story ; a little boy of four or five, had slipped into one of the canals, and I, passing in a gondola, had caught his clothes, or rather his rags, and handed the choking, squallâ€" ing manikin back into the custody of a blackâ€"eyed, brownâ€"skinned woâ€" man, who had insisted, with impulsive but coquettish gratitude, on _ preâ€" senting me with the beads she wore round her own neck. " Yes," said Babicle, naively , " {for how could Ido you any haria ?" * Yes, how indeed ?" said L.

We saw very litile of each other since that chill to our friendship ; but 1 soon began to find that the little pale woman, who was too acid to excite as much liking as she did pity and respect, bhad no idea of allowing the obligations between us to lie all on one side. Under the masculine regime which had _ flourâ€" ished in my bhousehold before the irâ€" ruption of Mrs. Elimer, her daughâ€" ter, and Janet, the art of mending had been unknown and ignored, and the science of cleaning my study had been meglected. With regard to my own raimecst. the Brass Age, or age of pins, succeeded the Bone Age, or age of buttons, with unfailing reguâ€" larity ; and when, with Janet, the Eteel Age, or age of needles, came in, 1 sometimes thought I shoald prefer to go back to primitive barbarism and holes in my stockings rather than hobble about with large lumps of worsted thread at the corners of my toesâ€"which was the best result of a process which the old lady called "darning." The road to Ballater was for weeks impassabl> with snewvdrifts; no I enjoyed that evening so much that I was quite ready, to go through anâ€" other preparatory penance of smokâ€" ing chimneys and general topsyturâ€" veydom to have anothem like it. But Fate and Ferguson ruled otherwuse. I mentioned to him, one day that I proposed inviting the ladies again for the following evening, and he said nothing, but when 1 made a statec call on Mrs. El‘m>r that afterâ€" onon, she brought forth all sorts of unexpected excuses to _ avoid the visit. Cireumstances had made me too diffident to press the point, and I had to conclude, with much mortification, that the sight of my ugly face for a whole evening bad been too _ distressing to their artistic eyes for them to undergo such a trial again. They, however, invited me to dine with them on Clhristmas Day. but L was too much hurt toâ€" accept the invitation. It was not until long afterwards _ I [onund ,out that on learning my inâ€" tention of giving another "party." my faith{ful Fergus>n had posted off to the cottage and informed Mrs. Ellâ€" mer that his poor mother was so ill she could scarcely keep on her legs, and now master had ordered another "turnâ€"out" . and he expected that it â€" would do _ for her altogethâ€" er. l oirly knew, then, that when I told him there was to be no party, his woodeu face relaxed into a faint but happy smile, and that my feet ached to kick him. The rest of the child‘s passionate answer I could not catch, as they went further away."> But I wondered what the secret was that I had been so near learning. "You want to get us turned out to spend another winter like the last, I suppose. What did you tell him about your {father ?" "Nothing, _ mother, nothing. inâ€" deed !â€"â€"" "Woun‘t you tell me? Would you rather not ?: "I would rather not." At that momeni Mrs. Ellmer‘s voice was heard calliig, in sharp tones, for "Babiole! "Here we are, Mrs. Ellmer, taking a last look at the pictures," I called back. and I led the child out into the hali, where her mother gave a sharp glance from ner to me, and wished me goodâ€"night rather curtâ€" 7. I stood at the door to watch them on their way to the cottage, as they would not accept my escort ; and through the keen air I distinctly heard this question and answer: "It‘s nice, sometimes, when one hase a part one; likes ; but, of course, I only got small parts, and it‘s dreadâ€" Tul to have to go on with nothing to kay, or for an executioner, or an old woman with just a line." " And don‘t you like travelling ?" " I like it sometimes in the summer; but in the winter it‘s so cold and the places all seem alike> and then the pantomime â€" season comes and you have nothing to do." "What do you do, then ? What did you do last winter, for instance ?" "We went back to London." ‘"Well ?" But Babiole had Frown â€" suddaniy shy She seemed scarcely to understand me at first, as she repeated, in a bewildered manner, "Excitement !" Then she said simply, "It‘s very exâ€" cliing when you miss the train and .the company go on without you ; but " But the acting ; isn‘t that excitâ€" ing ?" P Wliin. 2 . h â€"Anliheriraitiiaiint 6c itc d "A ud M sls it‘s dreadful, too, because the manâ€" ager might telegraph to say you needn‘t come on at all." "Well, are you as bappy at the cottage as you thought you would ba?" 1 agked. " Oh, happier, a thousand times. It is too good to last," with a frightâ€" ened sigh, **Don‘t you miss ‘the constaut change of your travelling life, and thne‘ excitement of acting ?" Bablole looked much astonished at this interpretation, which she â€" unâ€" derstood very imperfectly, and Mrs. Elimer shook her head in arch rebuke as she rose to go. They went upstairs together to put on their cloaks, but Bablole came flying down before her mother to have a last peep at the portraits which had fascinated her. I followed her into the drawingâ€"room, where lamp and fire were still burnâ€" ing, and she started and turned as she saw my reflection in the lofit glass which hung between the picâ€" tures. "Here‘s a subtle and cynical little observer for you," said I, glancing over the child‘s head at the mother. ‘"She knows, you see, that benevoâ€" lence is the last of the emotions, and is only tried as a last resource when we bgve used up all the others." "I only guessed what I did, Mr. Maude, because you are so very kind; you seem always trying to do good to someone.‘ Bhe evidently thouglit I should be pleased by this, the good lady flatâ€" tering hersel{ that she had taken off at least fivre years. My first impulse was to set them right rather indignantly, but the next moment I remembered that I should gain notiiâ€" ing but a character for mendacity by telling them that I should not be thirty till next year. So I only laughed again, and then Babiole‘s voice broke in apologetically. â€" Â¥ested in a small voice, "Sirty ?" "* Well, I‘m sure you can‘t be a day from thai, Mrs. lgllmer?' Both Mrw. Elimer and I began to laugh ; and the child, blushing, rubbed her cheek agairst her mother‘s gsleeve.

"Helen!t" yelled the conductor, as the street by that nams was reached, where an old woman slowly rose and got off. When it started again the Irishman approached the conductor, "Oi want to get out at the Grand Trunk Staâ€" tion," he said, tapping his arm, "me foorst name is Moike."â€"Montreal Herald. , Anu Irishman with a large carpet bag and carrying a big umbrella had just landed from a Dominion liner. Wishing to get to the Bonaventure depot, being booked west, he was several times directed to go up the hill to Notre Dame street, and take a car going west. Reaching the Notre Dame Church, he boarded the first car that came along (as luck would have it, it was the right one), and sat down gingerly near the door. Five or six other men and women completed the list of passengers. Wlen the snow melted away from all but the tops of the hills, and there came fresh little sprouts of pale green among the dark feather foliage of the larches, a change came over Bhe tiny household of my tenants. From early morning uutil the sun began to sink low behind the hills, Babiole was never to be found at the cottage. Someâ€" times, indeed, she would dash in at midâ€"day to dinner, as fresh and sweet as an opening rose;, but more often she would stay away until evening began to creep on, taking with her a most frugal meal of a couple of s#andwiches and a piece of shortbread. Even that was shared with Taâ€"ta, whom 1 encourâ€" aged to attend the venturesome little maiden on her long rambles ; the dog would follow her now as willingly as he did me, and could be fierce enough upon occeasion to prove a far more despicable bodyâ€" guard; while I generally contrived to be about the grounds some where when she started, and, havyâ€" ing noted the direction she took, I went that way for my morning ride. Often I passed them o:: the road, the girl walking at a sori of dance, the cdog leapfug end spripging abput her. At sight of me, Taâ€"ta would rush to her master, barking with joy ; then, sgeeing that I would not take the only sensgible course of allowing her to follow both her favorites togethâ€" er, she would run from the one to the other, in delirious excitement until by a few words and gestures I let her know that her duty was with the beauty and not the beast. Strain and Anxiety I saw that I had made some fearâ€" ful blunder, and said no more ; but 1 afterwards learned from Babiole, as a great secret, that her mother had prevailed upon Janet to yield up her daily duties as cook as far as my dinner was concerned ; and _ my heart began to melt and soften as the winter wore on towards the strictly anonymous littie chef who had delivered me from the binding tyranny of haggis and cockâ€"aâ€" leekie. possibilty of replenishing one‘s wardâ€" robe, eren from the â€" village‘s meagre resources. At last, being by this time lamer than any piiâ€" grim, I boldly out out the lumps in my stockings, and thereby enlargâ€" ed the holes. This {flying in the face of Providence, must have been an awiful shock to Janet, for she relatâ€" ed it to Mra. Elimer with some acriâ€" mony ; the résult of this was that the active little woman overhauled my wardrobe, and everything else in my house that was in need of repair by the needle; she tried her hand successfully at some amateur tailâ€" oring ; she hunted out some old curâ€" taing, and by a series of wonderful processes, which she assured me were very gimple, transformed them from crumpled rage into very handsome tapestry hangings for a draughty corner of my study ; she carried off my old silver, piece by piece, and polâ€" ished it up until, instead of wearâ€" ing the mouldy, rusty hue of long . neglect, it brightened the whole room with its glistening whiteness. I believe this last work was a sacred pleasure to her; Babiole said her mother cooed over the tankards and embraced the punchbowli. ‘The way that little woman made old _ things look like * . new . savored of sorcery to the obtuse male mind. _ Ferguson would take each transfigured article, neatly patched tablecloth, worn skin rug, combed and cleaned to look like new, or whatever it might be, and hold it at arm‘s length, squinting horribly the while, and then, with a sigh of disâ€" may at the disappearance of the old familiar rents, cast it from him in diegust. The climax of his rage was reached when, one evening at dinâ€" ner, surprised by an unusually sayâ€" ory dish, I sent a message of conâ€": gratulation to Janet.

Patienceâ€"Either way. â€" Youkers Statesmaun. ; A new hardwood floor, before it is I varnished, can be eflectively decorâ€" ated with coored, transparent stains which will give the appearance of ? Dutch marquetry, as the stain,when varnished and waxed, takes on a meliow tinge that is most harmoniâ€" ous. A border, for instance, imâ€" _ proves a yellow pine floor immenseâ€" ly, and makes it look like an exâ€" tensive parquet, while it is so simâ€" ple that anyone can make it. The first thing to do is to draw a line about a foot and a half from the wall all around the room. ‘This can easily be done, either by snapping a chalked carpenter‘s string, or layâ€" ing a straight lath between two given points and drawing the line with pointed chalkâ€"white, not black, as the latter leaves a smut. This ling when parinted should be about a half inch wide, and should be repeated next to the surface against the wall. The border should be a simple, conâ€" ventional design, stencilled, but if stencils are not to be had the proâ€" minent shapes in the design can be ecut out of brown paper and outâ€" lined with a pencil, repeating them at regular intervals, the intervenâ€" ing spaces being filled out afterâ€" ward. Any ordinary _ transparent paiut, mixed with turpentine, makes a good stain, if care is taken not to get the coloring too dark. It is a good plan to have some motif to folâ€" low. The colored border on an Engâ€" lish porcelain plate proved a good mods! in one instance, and the ornaâ€" meniation on a Dutch cabinet was equally effective in â€" another. A | pretty effect on a hardwood floor was produced by the use of colored ; stains and a â€" pyrographic pencil. The ornamentation was on an othâ€" erwise plain floor, and consisted of simulated rugs laid before the fire-l place and furniture, the burnt outâ€" lining being particularly suited tnl such work.
