Tiad parted less coldly. The susponso
was almost intolerable; but she did not
want to look like a victim, and she went
and came as usual, dressed as prettily
as over, and wore her mask of cheerful
ness with unflinching bravery. Her
sweetness and courage went straight to
tho hearts of tho Wakes. Mrs. Wake
was so stirred that sho was lifted quite
out of her melancholy little self, and
astonished her husband by displaying
unwonted tact and wisdom.
Sunday afternoon camo round again,
And the three wcro sitting in their par

although sho could not read aline. Sud
denly tho house bell rang loudly, as if
it had been pulled by an impatient
hand; and the sound drovo nil tho color
out of Olive's face. Mrs. Wake was off
the sofa with a bound.
"I will go and sec who it is," she said,
and was goue In nn instant.

soothed her, and said that they must
wait patiently until the girl came of her

And sho did come, sooner than tlicy
hod thought to sco her, and sat down
in her old placo by Undo Wake's bide.
"Uncle," she said, softly, "If you see
Strand wcro unknown to. her; and It
was with a senso of surprise that sho
found herself at tho open gates of a
sunshiny churchyard. Within, thero

trees; tho dark gray tower of tho an

quiet light of tho autumn morning;

watching tho ceaseless como and go of
London crowds! Ollvo Btood spell

Sho was not thinking of herself only
ns she stood there. Sho thought of tho
many homeless wnnderers who had
paused on this very spot, hardly nblo to
benr tho throng of Images that started
up around that peaceful Ranetuary.
(Irny walls and fresh grnss and trees,
they muko tho background of memory's
holiest pictures. Tho phuutoms of old
happy days went trooping along thoso
quiet path's and vanished within the
'gloom of tho low'-browed door; fathers
and mothers who had gono to rest long
ago In Uod'B acre; little children who
had grown up to bo careworn men and
women; boys nud girls who luui lovou
uach other onco with tho fresh, un
worldly lovo of youth these were tho
bIuuMvs that passed slowly ' through
tho green old churchyard every day.
Tho sdvrows of ono human heart aro
tho sorrows of all; iho longings of ono
human soul after Its lost paradise aro
tho longings of all, and it isthroligh
these common sorrows and common
longings that tho lost sheep arc brought
back to tho fold and tho wandering spir
its nre drawn softly homo to Owl.
Idoas camo to her very slowly that
day, and sho had lingered for some
minutes by the gate before sho realized
that this little gray church with the
quaint low bolf ry was the Savoy Chapel
Itoyal. In that old churchyard, and on
the ground now occupied by all tho
neighboring buildings, tho famous
Savoy palaco had stood once; but Ollvo
was In no mood just then to recall his
torical associations. It was enough for
her to feel that she had suddenly
lighted on a nook that was completely
out of tho world, and "not ono man in
live hundred who fastlo along tho
noisy Strand over dreams of its exist
ence." Tho restful influence of tho place
drew her within the open gato and
alomr tho treo-shadowed path to tho
chapel door. Sho went timidly down

Thoso who lovo and are loved aro novcr

Thero are also inward solitudes. A
crowd Is not company. Thero aro many
whoso uontnet makes no sympathetic
chord to vibrate In our hearts. Thcli
hands may press ours, but that Indif
ferent eln'sp touches nothing within our
spirits. Thero nro voices and faces
which do not charm us even though
they vouchsafe us conventional words
and smiles of courtesy. Knees may
only bo as a gallery of pictures, and
voices only tho hum of ninny sound.
Thero is an important sense which
makes this Inward solitude to, bo
hpeclally felt In tho crowded life of a
grent city. When William Wordsworth
came to London ho was astounded that
people lived close to each other and
scarcely know tho names of their
neighbors. Charles Dickens said that
loneliness was as possible In the streets
of n crcat city ns In the desert of
Arabia. Tho Latins have a proverb,
"Mugna clvltas, magna solltudo" (a
great city, a great solitude). Hence,
oven wo who llvo In a busy hive of
workers and sufferers aro not denied
tho power to find nud foster a solitude.
I do not know a more pathctte reflec
tion than this, that wo nil live, even
as we must surely all die, In a very real
and requisite solitude. The experience
of ages has never falsified thu word
spoken nearly three thousand years
ogo: "The heart knoweth Its own bit

Not many days afterwards n letter
did come, and Samuel tore It open with
a muttered word of disgust. It was not
a long letter, nor did Michael appear
to think that Ollvo would suffer much

Uncle Wako proposed a holiday In
tho country; his wife had sorao rela

Olive was sent to stay with them for a
few days. They wcro kind, tho nlr
was sweet, and woods nnd fields wcro
beautiful as of old, but comfort did
not como to tho soroly-trled heart. Tho
voice of pcaco did not speak to her
here; sho could hear only tho echoes of
tho past, and think ouly of "tho touch
of the banished hand." It did not
gladden her now to stand looking over
tho htllos down tho long meadow's;
there was no hope In tho sunbeams, no
promlso in tho whisper of tho grass.
Michael, tho traitor, did not dwell in

Do not depend on itho pasture pro

It will bo a loss of heed to plant ten

string beans, squash, cucumbers und
lima beans will not grow until tha
ground has become well warmed so as
