"It would be very terrible," said the lad solemaiy. "Not so bad, perhaps, if Still the Colonel did not answer. He caught a glimpse of bhimself in a mirâ€" ror opposite, and actually blushed at his own reflection. He had had, so he was telling himself, some pretty keen thrusts in his time, but never anything half so terrible as this innocenti childâ€" ish prattle. Every word seemed to find some joint in his armour of selfâ€"esteem, and to pierco selfishness like a knife. *"You would not care to leave Fernâ€" leigh aliogether ?" he asked. « "Well, I never notice it," said the lad with the same touching simplicity ; only the winter is rather long and dreary. But then, there is the wind: I like to listen to that. No one cam see that ; and when it blows, I know as much about it as other people. It is very nice for a blind boy to know where to find everything he wants. If you will come with me now, I can show you some dogâ€"roses; tne very first of the season, and I found them myself, too." The Colonel made no reply save a faint smile ; he could not have answered the simple pathos of the last words for the supreme command of the British army and a fieldâ€"marshal‘s baton to boot. For the first time in his roving life he began to understand the full sigâ€" mificance of the word "home" and. the deep meaning it held for some. Of his beautiful house in Sussex he was justly groud; but this plaitonic affection for ricks and mortar, the idealisation of stone walls, he had no conception. Sitâ€" ting there with the childâ€"grasp upon his knee, a new feeling, the consciousâ€" ness of a new and better world, was budding in his soul. *"Don‘t you feel it cruelly hard at times ?" he asked abruptly. _ * ‘"Then it can‘t be home," said Vivian conclusively.

If I were you, 1 wouldn‘t say I was a soldier." i Forgeitful of everything but the deep interest aroused by this unaccustomed scene, the Colonel changed his place so as to obtain a closer view of the musiâ€" clan, as he did so, the movement enâ€" tailed a slight noise; whereupon the music ceased, and the performer looked in the direction of the sound. "Will you please come a little nearer?" said be. "I1 did not know there was anyâ€" one here. And tell me who vou are." But at this moment the whole current . of these reflections was changed by the | entrance of another pleasing object, and the Colonel immediately experienced | that mingled feeling of awe and pity j all kindâ€"hearted people do in the preâ€" sence of the blind.

Besides, it is a great mistake for(f'oung married women to have command of a lot of money.

On ths contrary, he took the matter with a coolness that fairly exasperated Colâ€" onel Sandhurst, who was at length drivâ€" en to retort.

A lady, meeting another, said to her: And how does your husband like your new dress? I don‘t know yet. \ Why, hasn‘t he seen it? Yes, but he hasn‘t seen the bill! One of the veterans in Chelsea Hosâ€" pitail, who was several times wounded in action, was asked how it felt to be shot down. He replied that he had made the same request of many woundâ€" ed comrades in order to compare notes. Then he added:â€"‘"The first effect of a gunshot wound that shatters a bone is a sensation of satisfied anticipation, as much as to say, ‘Here I go,‘ or ‘Just as I expected,‘ and the wound is conâ€" sidered hopelessly mortal, as a matter of course. Then, as pain ensues and a sense of dismemberment, there is a profound feeling of selfâ€"pity. This lasts during what surgeons call ‘the first shock,‘ and is the cause of that peculiar moaning of the desperately wounded, generally aitributed to pbysical sufâ€" fering alone, and familiar to all who have been in baitle. After the wour«d is dressed or an amputation tperformed, there arises in the mind a faint dawn of hope. If this grows into a determinâ€" ation to get well, the victim stands a good chance of recovery." ‘"We must all be friends," she said.

If you are anything like her, Miss Morton is a fortunate girl." But _ for the exuberant spirits of Miss Ethel, and the quiet sallies of the equally happy baronet, the drive to Fernleigh would have proved a quiet one. Once within the gates, however, tongues were loosened, for the serene quiect beauty of the house brought an honest tribute of admiration to every lip; its peaceful silence seemed to soothe every heart and bear all unâ€" happioness away. _ Even Ethel, as she found herself tenderly embraced by the mistress of Fernleigh, fell under the influence of the charm. . If there was one thing more beauâ€" tiful to contemplate than the perfect weather ‘on the following afternoon, it was the immaculate splendour of Colâ€" onel Sandhurst‘s attire, a fact that Sir Edwin Cresswell, himself no mean connoisseur in the art sartorial, did not fail to comment upon in confidence to the lady of his choice. "Bingo the Earl, Chivalry‘s pearl, Went aâ€"philandering after a girl," she quoted, sotto voce, as they took their seats in the wagonette.

I will send my man over with a note toâ€"morrow morning, saying we accept Mrs. Charlesworth‘s invitation with all possible pleasure;" to which Miss Ethel replied _ sententiously that wonders would never cease. _"If he will not, we must go without him," cried Ethel, who had approachâ€" ed near enough to hear the conclusion of Heath‘s message. ‘"And I don‘t think we shall have much difficulty in persuading Frank to join." fls ask you as an old friend, to waive ceremony and take your party to Fernâ€" leigh toâ€"morrow." and at the end of that time she is of the same mind, I will give my conâ€" sent." _ Need I say that I consented in my turn.
