XVH NO. 12 4' I A FAIR REVENGE. Sir. Churchill did not go anil look after his own affairs, audsuch an idci never wmiied to terhiJ ImmiI. Purh.iiN the utter norelty of the t-xpedit'on was as dclighl-f ill to him as to Anyhow, he never looked ah if he fouutl it.

"poor entertain inent" to watch Slaisie's intense pleasure over her father's gifts. Seeing the gratification some new hats and gloves and frocks gave her he came to understand pretty clearly how en tirely empty of such joys her life must hare beeu dn the past, and, recalling the elegant toilette of turquoise blue he had seen on the Tiight, a spitefuLJittle fury filled his heart against the wearer. If Slaisie would only let him make up to her for those long loveless years! 0 They went to a delightful place delightful to Slaisie's uuvitiated appetite for enjoyment; and had the most enjoyable luncheon she had ever partaken of. After that a carriage and pair made its appearance, and they went for a drive, then drove to the depot, for they were to, dine by invitation itli Sliss Marche at seven o'clock. "I'm going into a smoking cai-riage, Slaisie," said Mr.

Marche; "I'm ieally dying for a smoke. This has been your day, and I wouldu't bieak into it by leaving you before, but really I can't hold out any longer!" Slaisie looked remorseful. "I wish I had known," she said; "but I'm not used to our ways yet." Site wanted Sir. Churchill to go too; but he declared that he was not in need of a smoke, and that he meant to bear her company on the journey. "This day has been a dream," bhe said when the train had started, clasping her hands ecstatically "one iong dream of delight! Oh, Sir.

Churchill, what a lovely thing it is to have a father and such a father!" "I don't think he would have stajedaway so long if he had known how rejoiced you would be to see him," he said gravely "I mean if he had known how terribly you weie in need of him. You tee. he thought He stopped and looked at her for a moment with a rather embarrassed smile. Slaisie met his smile without embarrassment, -but a look of consciousness replaced the radiant joy of a moment before. The perfect frankness of her look made him decide to go on.

"After all, why should I not ay what I mean, Miss Maisie! He thought SIjss Marche would have made things more pleasant for you." cried Sraisie, thinking he might be going to make some excuse for his lady-love and wishing to spare him if possible "Aunt Con and I have got on all right; but you know nobody is ever quite like one's own parents! Sir. Churchill guessed the mo tivc of his speech and determined to do awav ith any misappre hension that might exist in bisiipart in it!" compaaion's mind. "No," he said, with a sternness that awed Slaisie a little "nobody is quite like one's own parents; but there are degrees of difference. We heard a good deal about the past from the landlady at the inn last night, and though your father will never speak to M'ss Marche on the subject, be- causp he prinks more to ))ame than sie is. his heart is Very sore about it." J'Qh, I'm so sorry!" cried Jfaisje.

"JJe should not have donn jt before you." ''Ah, you are thinking there is still some of the old infatuation left 111 me! It is a mistake, Miss Maisie. A beautiful face of itself alone would never attract me again. Of course I don't deny that I was terribly 'gone' at the time she lefused me; I was just of the age when calf love gets its strongest hold on a man. I look back now with very deep gratitude for my escape. Heartless- ncss is one of the failings 7 can least forgive in a woman.

She is, I believe, one of the most heurt-less women under the suu!" "Not so bad as that," interposed Sraisie, with generous warmth But Sir. Churchill would not listen. "Ah, well, he said, recovering his lighiei manner as quickly as he had lost it, "we won' waste time on unpleasant subjects' How do you like your father's suggestion of a week's sight seeing in town!" This question brought back the smiles and the sparkle to Slaisie's lips and eyes, as Churchill had known it would, and they Bad1 not another grave moment during the journey. That night, as Maisie was going to her room, creepiug quietl) past her aunt's door from sheer force of habit, because Sliss Slarche had once complained of her heavy tread, she found the door open and her aunt on the watch for hei. "Come in for a minute, Slaisie; I want to speak to you," she ssaid.

Only two days before such a summons would have set the girl woudering as to what bhe had done wrong. But there was no such thought in her mind now, as-she went in with her arms full of the pretty things from town, which had been unpacked down stairs. "Cau't it wait until to morrow, Aunt she asked. "I am so sleepy I can haidly keep my eyes opeu." "I won't keep you a minute, Sliss Slarche replied. "It was only a word or two about Sir.

Churchill I wanted to say. You kuow the old romance between him and me, Slaisie!" Slaisie signified assent. "Well, I have very good reason to believe that he has come to England for the express purpose of resuming the old relations, if I am willing That is all. I wanted ou to know so that you might not put yourself in a false position. It is so objectionable to feel you are not wanted; and a man has such a contempt for a girl who can't see that she is in the way.

So I thought I had bet ter tell you, and save you from committing such a mistake." Slaisie looked down demurely at the drooping roses in her waist-belt Sir. Churchill's gift. "Did I commit the mistake tonight, Aunt Con!" "Well, it would have been bet- ter perhaps if you had left us together when he came and sat in front of thp couch after dinner." "I sev," said Maisie meekly, though her eyes, carefully hidden from Sliss Slarche's sharp observation, were brimming with merriment. "I will not run the rsk of Sir. Churchill 8 contempt again.

Good-night, Aunt "Good-night! Oh, Slaisie, one minute! Win was it that chose my beautiful bracelet!" "Father." "Mr. Churchill had no voice or "None." Sliss Marche was a very resolute person. When in the course of a week, she found that as often as Maisie left her tete-a-tete with Gilbert that gentleman immediate ly found some excuse for following her niece, she made her next move. Having carried Churchill, a reluctant captive, off the lower end of the garden to show him some rare plants, she found that he had but a very divided attention for her and her conversation. "You are adiniring SJaisie! she said, on looking up in the midst of a description of a fern and find ing him watching the girl, who was sitting in the shade of the verandah talking to her father.

"She is a pretty child. Don't you think so!" 'I should rather call her lovely, he rejoined quietly. "I suppose she is," observed Missjilarche, as if, the idea were new to her. "Yes I suppose one might call her lovely. What, a pity she should have tied her self down by such a premature engagement, Oh," she cried abruptly, breaking off in sudden dismay, "what have I sail! I have broken faith with Slaisie; she will never forgive promise not to me! You must betray me, Gilbert not to reveal the child's poor little secret to a soul! She is so afraid of any one knowing she is engaged!" "Is she! said Churchill indifferently.

"W-o is the happy man!" "I inusn't tell you that. He is away in India. He is coming back for heriby-andjjby." to the marnagef-Miss Marche! "Yes." "And Maisie was content to wait! She did not dismiss him uu-couditionally because he could not place her in a palace!" Miss Slarche would have given a good deal to see his face when he said that, but he kept it resolutely turned from her, and she could judge of his meaning only by the tone of his voice, which was by uo means reassuiing. He told himself that he knew the iles of this woman too well to be taken in by them; yet he was forced to admit that she had scaled him with her falsehoods; anyhow, he would settle the matter before he slept, that night. "So, presently, when Miss Slarche was occupied with the tea-tray, he called Maisie to him to show her a wonderful beetle.

But, when she came, he put his hand under her arm, and drew her gently away out of ear-shot from the tea-table. "Xever mind the beetle just now," he said; "I want to tell you something I've been hearing about you. Aunt Con has been giving me the history of a certain young gentleman in India." For a moment his heart sank. There was something in it after all. Slaisie was deathly pale, and she clasped her hands convulsively.

"Did she!" she asked, in a whisper. "I wonder why! Why does she drag up that old trouble now! Churchill's face brightened. "An old trouble, is it! That means that it is no longer a trou ble to you!" (iCn if. 1Q rtn Inntrnr ffinHlo ir me," she echoed quietly, but with perfect candor, while the color stole back to her cheeks. "I could not go on caring for him when he was another girl's husband, you know.

It was a great trouble to me for a long time, though, and for months and months I felt that I could not forgive Aunt Con for separating us." "Oh, Aunt Con separated you!" "Yes. She said I was too young. Yon see it was long ago; I was only just seventeen. Perhaps she was right; but she might have done it in a different way, you kuow." "Yes I know," he answered significautly; and then he added, very gently indeed, "I'm glad that other fellow married another girl Slaisie awfully glad! Never mind why just yet" as she raised her eyes inquiringly to his "I'll tell you some day Maisie however had evidently found out for herself, judging by the blush that spread over her cheeks and biow as she met the look he gave her. A few days later Sir.

Slarche carried off his little girl for the promised week of Londqn gaieties; and Maisie never returqed as a resident to her aunt's house. Be fore Aqnt Con had got over her first sharp sense of defeat, she re ceived the following letter "My dear Aunt Con I am going to be married to Mr. Churchill this day month. 1 am afraid this sounds very abrupt; but indeed the whole business has to be hastened, as Gilbeit is due in Sydney by the end of September, and wants to take me with him. Father is going back too; so we shall be quite a family party.

am happier than I ever thought oue could be in this world. Father says you are not to worry about my trousseau, as Gilbert's aunt, who knows all about such things, has undertaken Jthe management of everything. Of course you will come to the wedding. Father says he -will allow fifty pounds for 'finery' for you ii you will accept it- We tay here until the happy day. Gilbert sends a message to don't in the least know what it means, but he says you will understand it.

It is, this, word for word 'Slaisie not afraid of any one knowi she is an engaged young Write soon to Ycarjiaffpctionate Maisik." Handsome Sliss Slarche sat for a long time with the childish letter before her. What a mistake she had made! If she had only let the girl marry George Slalla-lieu. (THE END School Report. Second monthly report of Green Grove school for the month beginning Slay 11, and ending Tune 5th, 1S96. Number of days taught, 20; number of pupils enrolled for the month, 40; number of days attended by all pupils, 572; average daily attendance, 28.

The ftet have more to do with comfort during hot weather than the wind and the thermometer. Tight shoes will destroy peace of mind more rapidly than philosophy and virtue can create it.

Tight shoes will make even moderately warm weather trying and will render the record-breaking days absolutely unendurable. The feet follow the, example of other things and are expanded by the heat. It is therefore, necessary to buy summer shoes a little larger than winter ones. They should be changed frequently A pair of fresh stockings and a pair of fresh shoes frequently are cooling as a cold shower bath, and are far superior to cold drinks. The woman whose laudable ambition is to be cool during the hot weather should study the methods of the dwellers in hot climates.

They do not devour ices and cold drinks, but on the contrary eat hot, highly seasoned dishes, which so raise their temperature that a sirocco would seem cooling to them. Hot drinks which have this effect as well as that of including perspiration, are declared to be the most cooling of beverages. After a perfectly cold bath the temperature of the summer air seems warm. The seeker aftei comfort will therefore take her baths slightly warmer than the air. Hot baths are not healthful, for they are apt to be weakening on hot days, and all of one's vi tality is needed to resist the en nervating influences of the sum mer.
