"Let us sit down and talk about it." "There is nothing much to talk about. This is it " taking in the room with a wave of her hand. "I am it. Ughtred is it." "Then let us talk about England," was Bettina's light skim over the thin ice. A red spot grew on each of Lady Anstruthers' cheek bones and made her faded eyes look intense.

Pickering, who was sitting with us at the time in Bettina's cozy parlor, turned to me, laughing, and said: "You would suppose, from Betty's remark, that I am master here, but the truth is my soul is not my own, and now her modest request for permission is made for effect on the company."

Overwhelmed with grief, and unable to take a decision, I sat down on the last step of the stairs; but at day-break, chilled, benumbed, shivering with cold, afraid that the servant would see me and would think I was mad, I determined to go back to my room. I arise, but at that very moment I hear some noise in Bettina's room.

To Bettina's thinking, justice had been deceived; if not, how could it have sentenced a man who had loved her for six months? loved her to distraction in the hidden retreat to which he had taken her, that he might, we may add, be at liberty to go his own way. Thus the dying girl inoculated her sister with love.

Lilly was at home, I having sent word of our coming, so when we knocked, the servant opened and directed us to the waiting parlor, saying that the Doctor would soon come down. We started upstairs, I in the lead, the Abbé following ten paces behind. When I entered the room, I found Bettina and Frances sitting by the street window. They came to me quickly, and Frances explained Bettina's presence.

Scott is the prettier!" When he felt Bettina's little hand slip into his arm, and when she turned toward him her delicious face, he said: "Miss Percival is the prettier!" But his perplexities gathered round him again when he was seated between the two sisters.

The dowdy little woman answered her indifferently, staring at her a little. "I am Lady Anstruthers," she said. Bettina opened the carriage door and stood upon the ground. "Go on to the house," she gave order to the coachman, and, with a somewhat startled look, he drove away. "Rosy!" Bettina's voice was a hushed, almost awed, thing. "YOU are Rosy?"

Miss Sallie Jenks is sitting with me while grannie's out." Bettina's tones were energetic. She turned to me. "You needn't stay back on my account, Miss Danny. Aren't you going?" "Yes I'm going." I walked toward my bedroom. At its door I stopped. "I'm sorry, Selwyn, but I'll have to go. The woman is dying." Selwyn's teeth came together sharply and in his eyes were disapproval and protest.

After dinner we went out on the veranda, and under cover of showing me a sunset Jasper took me round the corner of the house. Once there, he entirely forgot the sunset. "Miss Lizzie," he began at once, "what have I done to you to have you treat me like this?" "I?" I asked, amazed. "All three of you. Did did Bettina's mother warn you against me?" "The girl has to be chaperoned."

'Taint only the water what gets froze " "Why don't you cover a bucketful of it with one of those tubs?" Again Bettina's forefinger pointed. "That would keep the wind off and the water wouldn't freeze if it was covered up." "I never thought of that. Get back, Rosie!" Mrs.
