It is cold in Patagonia for a gently nurtured person like Mr. French. Simeon is poor in friends he only had one besides his wife, and that one is a fair-weather friend. But I'll go I am not afraid of privation. I'll entreat the Argentine Government for help I'll make friends with the Indians I'll " "Hush," he said, "you have said enough I will go." Having gained her point, she burst into tears.

Great, white, billowy, fair-weather clouds rolled up in open order before the fresh west wind, and the shadows of them trailed across the face of the earth, moving swiftly, sharply defined, sweeping patches of shade against the green and gold of a clean-washed, sunny summer world.

Desert the young people, toward whom she had come to feel almost like a mother? Never! "You may depend on Malcolm and me, my dear," she declared. "We are not fair-weather friends. And, after all, it is not so very bad. Affairs might be very much worse." "Worse! Oh, Mrs. Dunn, how could they be? Think of it! Stephen and I are dependent upon him for everything. We must ask him for every penny.

Old Man Curry fought his way through a mob of reporters and fair-weather acquaintances to find himself face to face with the only real surprise of the day. A sharp-faced youth, immaculately dressed, leaped upon him, endeavouring to embrace him, shake his hand and congratulate him, all in a breath. "Frank!" cried the old man. "Bless your heart, boy, where did you come from?"

Slip up on your job and she'll be down on you like a thousand of brick. She's a fair-weather sailin' craft that's what she is; floats along nice as anything until something goes wrong and then my soul but she kicks up a sea. Yet with all that you'll like her. We all do. Almost everybody on the place would get down and let her walk on 'em.

She put little nosegays from her garden on his desk, and tried in every way to show that she was not a fair-weather friend, but faithful through evil as well as good repute.

"The enemy would doubtless aim at so important a mark," said the lady, smiling, "but go now, your valour will never win the spurs of knighthood." "I am not ambitious of such an honour," he answered gaily; "you know I am but a fair-weather sort of page, fit only to hover around my lady's bower, in the season of flowers and sunshine."

But, when explanations were made, how did her brow clear and a fair-weather smile efface the frost!

But Aunt Harriet was firm. She was not a fair-weather friend, and since Jennie was good enough to offer her a home she felt she ought to go at once. "You'll have to get married right away," she finished. "Goodness knows it's time enough! For two years Harvey has been barking like a watchdog in front of the house and keeping every other young man away." Sara Lee smiled.

She shook the rein, for the sleek mare was nozzling her shoulder and pawing slightly, "Let us be off." She put her small booted foot on his palm and vaulted into the saddle, and he swung on to his mount. He stuffed his cap into a pocket, for he was no fair-weather horseman, but loved the tingle of the wind rushing through his hair; and the two cantered down the clear sandy road.
