Southminster was ten miles from Warpington, eleven according to the Loftus Arms, from which it issued, the owner of which was not on happy terms with his "teetotal" vicar. Yet it had been absolutely necessary to have the fly, in order that Regie, who so easily caught cold, might return in safety. The dusk was already falling, and more snow with it. It was quite dark when Mrs.

Hester felt that the subject would be quite beyond her powers of explanation if once the gate were introduced into it. She laid Regie down and covered him. "And you will go to sleep now. And I will ask Uncle Dick when next he comes to show us how he did the game with the half-penny." "Yes," said Regie, dejectedly. "I'd rather know what there is to be known. Only I thought it was a flying one.

Bert took up the book again and fingered it thoughtfully. "Could I get one if I wanted to?" he asked, presently. "Why, of course," answered Regie. "There are many more at Gossip's where I got this, I guess." Bert said no more; and the two boys soon began talking about something else.

Begin at once without." "Very well," said Polly. There was another break down, and then she seemed fairly grave. "My dear brethren," she began. "There's only one of us," I ventured to observe. "Now, Regie, you mustn't speak. The congregation never speaks to the clergyman when he's preaching." "It's such a small congregation," I pleaded.

Aunt Maria did not like dogs; Uncle Ascott too said that "they were very rural and nice for the country, but that they didn't do in a town house.
