The Best That Could
Be Done Under the
Circumstances
By F. A. MITCHEL
Margaret Brlerley was brought up
by a couple of mnlden aunts, sisters,
who wero well off and Intended Hint
after their death Margaret should
hnvo their belongings. Theso were in
part a comfortable house and grounds
in tho vllinge, In which they lived
Mnrgaret proved nn apt scholar nnd
wns graduated with honor. Since life
with her aunts was very dull she
yearned for something livelier. After
a your of "sitting around holding her
hands," ns she expressed it, she de
termined to go to tho city to teach.
Iter mints combated her resolution
They reminded her that they had cared
for her since sho was nn iiifnnt, edu
cated her nnd given her everything
sho wanted. All in vain. Ono morn
ing when Aunt Sarah went into her
room to nwnken her the bird bad fiown
Three yours passed, during which
there was no communication between
the aunts nnd the ,iilece. Margaret
was getting on well ns a teacher when
she fell 111. Having no menus to pro
vide n substitute for Lor school duties,
sho wns dropped from tho salary roll
Then tho poor girl began to regret that
she had yielded to tho impulso to be
Independent. Nothing reranlned for
her but to go back to her aunts and
ask their forgiveness nnd help.
Tnklng ndvantngo of a Blight rally,
sho spent her last funds for a railway
ticket to iier former homo. Sho ar
rived nt tho houso ns darkness wns
falling. How comfortable everything
looked! There were tho daluty white
house, the porch nnd lattice covered
with vines, tho tlowcr garden to one
side, tho kitchen garden in tho rear,
tho whole inclosed by tho low picket
fence. Sho went as fast ns bor condi
tion would permit up tho walk, opened
the door nnd entered. All was still.
"Aunt Elizabeth!" she called, with
no reply.
"Aunt Sarali!" Still no answer.
She went through tho house, but
found no one. Thinking that her mints
bad gone out, sho took off her wraps
and sat down in the living room bo
fore the open fireplace, in which wore
Ilvo coals.
Presently she heard the front door
open nnd shut. Sho nrosc, intending
to greet her mints. Instead a young
man entered. Seeing her, he paused.
"Whero aro my aunts, Misses' Eliza
beth and Sarah Stacoy?"
"Are you Margaret Brlerley?"
"I am."
"Miss Elizabeth died a few months
ngo, and Miss Sarah followed her in
two weeks."
Mnrgaret sank back in her chair
and covered her face with her hands.
It was some time before she spoke
ngnln; then sho said:
"Who lives here now?"
"I do. I am Roger Blackmore, a
distant connection of the two Indies.
They made mo their heir."
"Whnt shall I do?" moaned Marga
ret, forgetful of the presence of nn-
other.
"Hnvo you not been successful?"
"I am ill and without a cent in tho
world."
"You nro welcome to remnin hero as
long aft you like. I will leavo you and
send some ono to take caro of you."
"What claim hnvo I on you?"
"I will show you."
Going to a desk, ho took out a pa
per and hnnded it to her. It was the
will of her aunts, leaving nil they
possessed to him. There wns n clause
stating that if their beloved niece, Mar
garet Duncan, over returned in need it
wns their desiro that tho snld Roger
Blucknioro should relieve her wnnts.
Sho looked up nt tho heir.
"How can you relievo the wnnts of a
woman near your own ago without"
"I think your mints were mindful
of that."
"Then why this request?"
"Perhaps they fancied"
"Whnt?"
"That wo might pool our issues?"
"Pool our issues! Whnt do you
mean?"
"Mnrrlnge."
Margaret made no reply to this. Sho
felt that sho would bo willing to mnr-
ry Polyphemus for n homo nnd rest.
Presently she nroso slowly nnd with
dlflleulty.
"Whero nro you going?" nsked Black-
more.
"I don't know. I can't stny here."
Ho went to her nnd gently forced
her back in her chnlr. "Tho good la
dles," bo said, "told mo that if you
failed In your work they would bo
plad If you and I could occupy their
ld home nnd enjoy their income to
gether."
Mnrgaret sat silent for nwhlle, then
looking up nt lilm, said:
"As for mo, I can do nothing else.
It remains for you to decide -whether
or no you caro to nccord with the wish
expressed."
Without reply ho left her nnd went
to tho tolephono booth. She heard him
nsk: "Is tho Rev. Mr. Stnrk nt home?
Toll him to como to tho Stacoy place
Immediately." Then, returning to her,
ho snld; "You can't lenvo hero In your
present condition. If I permitted you
to do so your mints would turn in their
graves. You enn't stny hero alone,
nnd I can't stny with you without
Bcandul. You'll hnvo to tnko my un
worthy self. It's hard luck for you,
but It can't be holped."
Sho put out her hnnd to him, and he
bent down and kissed her.

product of the largest tree that grows
in the forests of the littoral, a species
of the genus Erlodendron (allied to the

of its branches near the top, nnd the

"Now, for Instance," said he, "what

That was an easy question, and all
the children shouted:
"A man!" nnd then looked around
triumphantly.
"Yes, but what else?" said the in
spector.

"A littlo man."
"Yes, but there is something more
than that"
