"Oh, very well," said the latter carelessly, "then I don't care to play any more. It's a very stupid game, and only fit for boys." Things did not go on pleasantly at Easney just now, and the longer Ethelwyn stayed the more frequent became the quarrels; she had certainly brought strife and confusion with her, and by degrees there came to be a sort of division amongst the children.

Ethelwyn and Elizabeth, quite unused to suffering of this sort, sat soberly by, during their first visit, and watched their mother bending tenderly over the feeble little invalid, and ministering to his needs. In a week's time they had changed things marvelously.

"And I'm fall," said Nan, tumbling down, "that hurts the worst," she added with pride. "I'm Christmas," said Bobby, "and I know now why it doesn't come in summer. My! I'm hot!" he continued, mopping his brow. "I'm Fourth of July," said Beth. "And I'm Thanksgiving and turkey " "There isn't a thing but April fool in spring, I do believe," said Ethelwyn, disgusted.

So Ethelwyn and 'Vada went for a run on the beach, and mother Elizabeth, with a look of happy care on her face, and her beloved six dolls in her arms, came out on the porch, where she had already taken a basin of water, soap, a tiny sponge, and towels.

It's full of joy for dears like you." So they woke up laughing, at least Ethelwyn did, and told Beth what the birds sang; but Beth was sleepy and uttered her usual "Uh huh." "You are a very lazy child," said Ethelwyn in a superior tone, "and are not thinking about your presents at all, nor the making of good revolutions." "What's them?" asked Beth, still with her eyes shut.

I don't know that it would have done you any great harm, Miss Ethelwyn, to have made my acquaintance when I was in the worst of my doubts concerning the truth of things. Allow me to tell you that I was nearer making shipwreck of my faith at a certain period than I ever was before or have been since. Mother. What period was that? Father.

I should like to know everything about auntie Ethelwyn. Isn't it pretty?" "So pretty that I should like to know something more about Aunt Ethelwyn. What is her other name?" "Why, Ethelwyn Oldcastle, to be sure. What else could it be?" "Why, you know, for anything I knew, Judy, it might have been Gladwyn. She might have been your father's sister." "Might she? I never thought of that.

I know you mean it for my room, where I can ask you to come when I please, and where I can hide when any one comes you don't want me to see." "That is just what I meant it for, my Ethelwyn, and to let you know what I would do for you if I could." "I hate the place, Percivale," I said.

"I'm a double widow, and a orphing to-day," she said, "and I don't reserve a single child to my name!" Nan and Bobby came to the funeral, and Bobby chose to be undertaker, while Nan insisted on preaching the sermon. "You preached yesterday," she said to Ethelwyn, who also wished to. "And you did the day before " "I think I ought to," said Beth, "because it's my fam'ly."

When evening came, Ethelwyn dressed in her best white frock, a little later than the hour when she usually went to bed, came down the staircase with grandmother, who was more stately and lovely than ever? In her black velvet gown, with the great portrait brooch of Grandfather Van Stark, surrounded by diamonds, in the beautiful old lace around her neck.
