Trenire around the table, and Aunt Pike in her big chair near the window when suddenly the door was burst open, and Anna, whose absence had set them all wondering, walked in. "I have done it!" she cried excitedly. "I have told them all Lady Kitson and Miss Richards and Miss Matilda and and now," sobbing hysterically with nervous excitement, "I want to go away from Gorlay. I can't stay here.
When, though, they presently stopped at Gorlay Station, all her troubles vanished, for the time at any rate, for there on the platform stood her father, and Betty, and Tony, all apparently as well and jolly as could be, while old Prue and the carriage waited in the road outside. "Father is here!
"It was a wet night, and it was a very dark one, and such strange sounds fill a wood at night, and oh, I hope she kept away from the river! If anything chased her, and she ran, and in the darkness fell in O Betty, Betty!" Then "Gorlay at last!" she cried in intense relief as she recognized the well-known landmarks.
Trenire came up to say "good-bye," and at the end of a long, pleasant day together, happy in spite of the parting before them, Kitty bade him "good-bye" with a brave and smiling face, and sent him back to Gorlay cheered and comforted, and with at least one care less on his mind; for in his heart he had been dreading that day, because of Kitty's grief at parting.

"Oh yes," cried Kitty, much more cheerfully, "and I hope he will get off soon, for I know he will get no rest while he is in Gorlay. I have never known father have a holiday."
Henderson laughed. "No, missie; I mean the years we was courting." "How interesting," said Betty solemnly. "I think I shall work some for my house when I am married. Do you work them on canvas? Can I get it in Gorlay?" "Yes, miss; but you needn't hurry to begin to-night," said Mrs. Henderson, laughing.
