Her girlish bloom never faded under her sober bonnet, although ten years had gone by since her own marriage had been broken off. Barney used to watch furtively Charlotte going past. He knew quite well when she was helping such and such a girl get ready to be married. He saw her going home, a swift shadowy figure, after dark, with her few poor shillings in her pocket.

I leave you to imagine what he was to her. Yet before the week was out it was she who was helping me to pull myself together." "Is Mrs. Anthony in England now?" I asked after a while. He wiped his eyes without any false shame. "Oh yes." He began to look for matches, and while diving for the box under the table added: "And not very far from here either. That little village up there you know." "No!

I will write to one of the city missionaries whom I know, and ask him to " "No, but, papa dear papa, we must go. The city missionary could never say how very, very sorry I am that he should have broken his leg while helping me. And then I should so like to sit by him and tell him stories, and give him his soup and gruel, and read to him. Poor, poor boy, we must go, papa, won't you?"

Chaos, I don't think they'd even know to avoid something as simple as a trapper vine!" "This is no holo show," Tarlac cautioned him. "If they do find us, we've bought it." "I know but Mom was a Marine for thirty years and never even saw a live Ranger. I go on a camping trip, and end up helping one, against a bunch of rebels!"

And to all these various difficulties there is oftentimes one more, and that is, the ignorance of the midwife, who for want of understanding in her business, hinders nature in her work instead of helping her. Having thus looked into the cause of hard labour, I will now show the industrious midwife how she may minister some relief to the labouring woman under these difficult circumstances.

So long as we understand that happiness is the end of life, and that the best way to secure it for ourselves is by helping others to attain to it, we are travelling in the right direction.

Trelyon was pleased to lend her protégée a helping hand in decorating the church. One evening she said, "My dear Miss Wenna, I am going to ask you an impertinent question. Could your family spare you on Christmas evening? Harry is coming down from London: I am sure he would be so pleased to see you." "Oh, thank you, Mrs. Trelyon," Wenna said, with just a little nervousness.

And this was the way that he, Varney, had kept the coming of the Cypriani quiet in Hunston! "And think of the cursed bull luck of it!" cried Peter. "The most the rascal hoped to do was to ruin my plans for helping Hare by these dirty hints about both of us at the best to scare us away from Hunston. He never dreamed that he was knocking the bottom out of any private plans of yours!"

It is for this reason that persons of taste have taken pains to face their houses with weather-stained and lichen-crusted stone, or invent proper names for them, in imitation of the English manor-houses. But Nature is jealous of this helping, and neither the lichens nor the names will stick, for the reason that they never grew there.

"All my life I've wanted to run a store," she admitted. "I like the confusement."
