was too nmrCi fnrngei to enjuy much of
Aunt Piaim's rompnny, but Miws Carrlng
ton inrtisted that ahe sliould resume lier

fontrived lliat she and Alison should hav
on of thMr old rffresliinj talks ns eften
s possible. Notiiinc rstd Alison so
snmih as Intercourss with Miss Carrinir-
ton's stronjr, rigorous mind.
Aunt Diana qui.-kly found her war Into
Missit's wayward little heart, and ah
soon turned her influence to good account.
One afternoon, when Alinon had been
spending aome hours at Maplewood, she
found on her return that Missie had gone
bsek Into hfr old room. All Alison's
books and pictures had been moved; Aunt
Dianas lovinj hands had evidently been
rmployed in her service no one elss
would have arranged the bowl of dark
rhrysanrhnmams on the little round table,
hnd the pretty, fresh cretonne on the
couch and easy chair spoke of tin saws
tate.
Alison's voice trembled as she thanked
11 ism'e.
'Yon ouL'ht not n have done it. Mabel.

rather have waited until you were reaJlr

"I always tnnnt to do It." returned
Mimie, solemnly. "I thought about It
every night, and then I made tin my
mind to speak to Aunt Diana, and sht
said she would help me. Have you seen
tlin beautiful illumination site has Mint
ed for you?"
Yes, Alison hud seen it.
"Ho not weary in well-doinz" that
vtaf- the text tbst Miss Carrimrton bad
chosen "for in duo season w shall reap,
If we taint not." Well, was not Alison
reaping a rli;h harvest? Would she evor
repent that she had come back t her
own people for loving service and minis
try, when ahe had won Missie's affection.
and found her way to her father's heart?
That he loved and trusted her, that she
was growing daily dearer to him, Alison,
with all her humility, could not doubt;
but Missie was still his petted darling
be very suffering she had caused him
brought thnia nearer together.
It was a lovely (right, Miss Carrlntton
thought, to se Missis sitting for hours
atiently beside her father's ceuch read
ing or talking to hi in. Hut for her aunt's
vlsllant care her health would have been
permanently injured by ber devotion to
him; before she left she made Missl
faithfully promise to take her daily walk
and to resume her singing.
"Tou must leave soniothing for Allie
to do," she said, with a smile; "I can
not sanction monopoly. We must watch
against sellisliness, dear child, even in
our best actions : we must not be over
exacting In our affection love sometimes
compels one to efface one's self for love's
sake." '
Anna was a constant visitor to The
Holms during Miss Carriagton's stay;
they hud taken a great fancy to each
other. Anna told Alison privately that
she thought Miss Carrington was the
most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
'I don't know about her features,"
Alison had answered ; "I don't think peo-
plu consider her handsome, but It is s
dear face, and that Is all I care about."
"I am never tired of lookinc at hor."
returned Anna, with girlish enthusiasm;
one sees the thoughts coming before she
speaks ; her eyes talk to one, even when
she Is silent. There is something har
monious, too, In her voice, and even in
her walk; she never jars on onej I am
sure there are no discord In her nature.
Alison repeated this speech ; she
tuougut it so preriuy woraea. ana so
true, lint Miss Carrington shook her
head over it and let it pass; she knew
much better how the chords of her being
had once been jangled roughly out of
tune. "No discords in her natur 1" when
every note had been dnmb and tuneless
until the Divine Hand had brought the
jarred chords Into harmony.
"When Cods will is ear will, then we
shall know peace, she said to herself;
"I have learned that now. But she
spot a very kindly of Anna, and praised
Alison's discernment in the choice of a
friend. "Shs Is a simple, Uvabls little
soul," she sold once; "It is quit a treat
in this decided ago to meet with a girl
who distrusts her own judgment, and be
lieves other people's experiences before
her own."
"Anna is rally very clover, Aunt tl."
"I am sure of that, my dear; and she
shows her cleverness by not advertising
her best wares, lu talking to ber one
Is not dropping over buckets Into empty
wells there Is good sense and a clear
knowledge of facts at the bottom. I.lv
lug in an uncongenial atmosphere has
make her shy and awkward; she Is like a
poor Utile plant brought too suddenly Into
th light ; In another year or so ah will
b lexs paMid end depressed; all will
hav learned to believ in herself a lit

"I nin afraid you think her plain," ob
served Alison, anxiously ; for hrr artistic
ta.s itaA her lay rather an undue liu
portauct oa Sairy ; "bet really, whu
she talks and brightens ap ah Is quite
pretty."
"She has a lovely lo k sometimes. Tou
sr wrong, Allie, I do not think her
plain. M Utile's apple blosmm face makes
ber a little colot'les, but there Is a dull
rate white rose bloom about ber that
not without beauty. I like her face, my
dear."
"Io yon know, Aunt I1" hesitating a
little, at though ah foared how her
words mlgbt ba received, for Mis Car

half afraid that ther is s new trouhl

"No, I meant something quit different.

bave r. notion that, step-father or no

:nlled a queer little smile that mystified
Alison, but she said ne nnre.
There were some things of which Miss
arrini'ton never spok te youig people.
Si.e often raid; "A girl's mind ought to
s as clear as crystal and hold no re-
ret a crystal reflects everything. I
wlch elder people would remember that."
And nothing displeased her more than
the careless talk of some mothers. "They
uen't seem to care what they put into a
fill's mind," site would say. Indignantly,
ai d then they wonder that It la chocked
up with rubbish."
CIIAITICIt XXI.
Mis Carrington took a great deal of
notice of Itoger, and sought every oppor
tunity to bo with him; she had a grvat
rocptct for his charectcr, whica, ah said,
was a most uncommon one.
'Itoger differs from th young men of
hi generation," she said one to Alison;
he care little for other people s opin
ions, unless he knows them to b In the
right mere criticism dor not In 8ueu.es
him In the leant."
She took a great interest In his work,
and made herself acquainted with tbe
details ef the business. Itoger wondered
little at the quiet pertinacity with which
he questioned him; she even followed
hiin to tbe mill, and sat in the timber
ard watching the men at work.
After a few conversations with Roger
she spoke very seriously to her bmther-In-law;
she told him Roger was very
ounit for such a responsibility. Its is
a good lad, and would wear himself out
In your service, Ainslie, and thnt without
word oj complajnt, but he looks too
old. aa careworn for bis age; you must
remember he is only two-and-twenty yet
he must have hia play time, like other
lads."
"Iiut bow am I to help him, Diana?'
rsked Mr. Merle, fretfully. "It la not ;ny
fault that I am lying hero like a .og.
Th boy must work, or what would be-
ome of us all?"
'Mr denr Ainslie, yon misunderstand
me," she replied, gently. "Of course Roger
must work, but surely he needs help for
so large a business. Have yon put no
one In your last manager's place?"
No. not yet," he returned, evidently
struck by her practical good sense. "Rog
er never proposed it, and I was too in
dolent to think about It; but there Is
Murdoch, a Scotchman he has been with
ns a long time, and he Is an honest fel
low. I dare say h would be glad of a
rise in bis salary ; he has a large yeung
family. I will ask Roger what he thinks
of putting Murdoch in the manager's
place. I think he would watcn over onr
Interests."
"I wish yon would do so." she returned
earnestly; "Roger la rather too bard
worked for his age. ne tells me he 'ms
no time for cricket or tennis, or for mut
ing in winter. I I have set my heart,
Ainslie. on his bringing Alison for a long
visit to Moss-side in the spring. You
will be better by that time, and if you
have a manager Roper will be able to en
joy a holiday ; he tells me he has not left
Chesterton for two years.
"I am afraid 1 hiftt 'been very remiss
and neglected his Interests," returned Mr.
Merle, rather sadly. "You shall have
your wlsii, Diana ; I will manage to spore
Roger for a month."
'Come, now, that is generous or you,"
she replied, brightly; "I shall ewe you a
good tnrn for that Supposing I promise
to come and spend my Chriitmas and
New Year with you; shall you car to
hav me?"
"Try me," was his only reply. But he
said it with one of bis rare smiles, and
Miss Carriugton felt she would b wel
come.
The prospect of having Aunt Diana
for Christinas, and still more the promise
of a long visit to Moss-s Je in the spring.
want far to reconcile Alison to li-j part
ing when th day came for Mlsa Carring
ton to leave them, but when the last hour
arrived AUsor.'s heart failed her a little.
"Yon must not I00& so pale over it
AUIs," Miss Carrington said to her anx
iously ; "yon know it I had the power I
would willingly take yon back with me.
"Yes, hnt I could not leave papa lying
there. There can be no question now
about my duty; It is a comfort to know
that"
"Ye, dearest, your place must be here
a little longer; they could not spare you
to me yet Do you know, I sometimes
doubt whether the old days will ever
come baok."
"Oh, Annt Dl! Do you mean I shall
never be able to live with you again?"
asked Aliaou, in an alarmed voice.
Miss Carrington looked at her In a
strangely moved way.
"I do not think yon will live at The
Ilolnuf always; Missie will replace you
by and by. I am quite sure we shall be
together, even if It be not in the old way.
Don't look so perplexed, Allie, darling
la this life, with its manifold changes and
chances, things are seldom quite th
satoo.,,
"You and I will never be different J
am convinced of that," exclaimed Alison,
not in the least understanding the drift
of Aunt Diana's strange speech. "Oh,
Aunt Dl, hew delicious the spring will
be! To think that we shall be rowing
on the r'ver again to Long Island, te
hunt for forget-ma-nots, and that we shall
bear the cuckoo In Aspy Woods, and I
shall be sitting in the studio watching
you painting, and Itoger will be with us."
"That's right ; look forward, Allie darl
ing; It Is your birthright. The young
must always look on to a happy future.
Now say good bye to me, for 1 hear the
enrriuge coming round. Christ maa will
soou be here, and, heaven willing, we shall
meat agaiu." And pressing ber tenderly
iu her arms, Aunt Diana turned nwtty.
ClIAl'TKIt XXII.
Miss Carriugton, indeed, scnt her
Christmas and the opening duys of tbe
new year at Th Holms, to Ihe mutual
enjoyment of hcm-lf and Alir.nu; but it
waa not until the end of June that Alison
and Roger paid their promise. 1 visit to
Moss-side not until the sweet fresh days
of spring had patted Into the glory of
summer. Miss Carrington li.il written
again and sgslo, pleading the comimct
she bad siade with Mr. Merle; but neither
of tha young people had found themselves
tl'H.
. "When we come it mast be with a
quiet conscience, and uot with a burden
of unfilled duties, dear Aunt Dl," wrote
Alison at last. "Missie can do without
me, but Roger can not leave at prrsrot
lbr la such a preaaure of business at
tb mill ; and if you do not mind, ( would
rather wait for him."
Mi Carriugton' reply was curt sad
t tb tlnt: "Wait for Roger, by all
I sa Got young aougk U tear
deferring an unexpected pleasure, of plj
enough to dread that 'by and by' ma
mean never. There la danger In harrying
cn thlugs too much ; w need not crowd
our lives. I wjll have neither of you
until you can put your cares In your
pockets, snd take the full meaning ef
these sweet, sunshiny days."
Aunt Diana's unselfishness and patience
were rewarded when at last the dired
letter from Alison arrived. Its ,brkht
sentences Bounded to her lik a rippU oi
soft laughter from youthful lip- "We
are coming, coming, coming !" Oould any
repetition be sweeter than that?
It was one of the loveliest evening ia
June when Alison and Roger arrived at
(he Riverston station, and ptood for a
moment looking round them In a pleased
uncertainty whether any familiar fa
would greet them. Miss Carrington had
hinted that sb preferred receiving her
guests in her own porch fihe hated th
tt.stlo ami noirte of a 'railway station. But
still Alison's dark eye would Scan the
platform und the sunny station room, half
In delightful recognition and half in girl
ish ctirlosify.
"Allie, who Is that handsome fellow
j.irt getting down from the dog cart?"
aked Itoger. "What a neat little turn
out I I I ke a chestnut mare. Halloo I
do von know him'.'" as Alison smiled and
boned.
"It is Greville Moore," he said, hur
riedly, and a bright look of pleasnre Croat
ed her face at the sight of her old friend,
which was certainly reflected in the yonng
man's countenance as be cam forward
and greeted them.
"You are punctual to a minute," h
said, joyously, "rather befor your t'nie,
for 1 hav only just driven np. Mia
Carrirg'on told me I might oring th
dig carl, and your luggage m'ght go up
by tho omnibus. How are you, Ufa All
son? You do not seem at all fagged by
your long journey. I expected t find
a pair of dusty, jaded travelers."
"Alison is as fresh as a lark,'' return
ed Roger; "she has been chirping like a
whole nest ful all the way np. It is a
good tnnoy years sine w met, Moor. 1
should hardly have Identified you the Erst
minute but for my sister's recognition."
"I believe I should not hav known
jou," replied (Jreviile, with a qnick, Bern
tinizing glance. "You don't look first
rate-does be, Miss Alison? He lias an
overworked appearance. We mntrt giva
luru plenty of tenniB and boating, and
make him look younger."
"All work and no play makes .Tack a
dull boy," laughed Roger "Two of throe
weeks of Idleness and fresh air will make
a different fellow of me. I meuta to for
gU that there are such things as sawmills
iu existence."
"Come, thst Is sensible," returned Gr
viile, heartily. "Miss Alison, will you
take the front scat? Merle, the groom
is going to look after the luggage, so yon
need not trouble your bead about it."
And. springing lightly to his place, h
touched the tusre, and in a moment they
were driving rapidly down the shady
road.

no panic nnd they even joked iininng
themselves to conceal nny fear they
