Around it Was a coarse white hand- kercief, within a faded flower and some withered sprigs of rosemary—she who used to carry it each sunday was lying in the grave far away. Peter ‘stood looking ut it; then Dending his head down, he said, “Ob, Milly, cau’t ye help me—tain’t a wife 1 Want, but a mother for your boy.” 1 Several things had happened by the time Mon- ay came round. Peter had made up his mind; Jenny had got her dismissal, the two of them were starting from Winsco°t on the same day. ‘The hearts of Doth were heavy, and the lovely Morning seemed to mock them with its bright sun- ‘suine and clear blue sky. Jenny, still lingering, ought to have started an hour ago; she was to Walk to the station. Peter, riding, Was unnecessarily fidgety about being early.” “Valor will come and gu,” and ike Bob Acres, Peter felt bis beginning to doze out rapidly. He ran upstairs to bid good-bye to his little son, who, ready dressed, was standing om Uptoe @t the Window shouting vigorously. “Take me, take me!” he eried; ‘Peter wants to go, Wants togo with Jenny.” The Ch had dressed him, in her endeavors to keep him quiet shook him roughly. “Jenny's going away,” she Suid, “where you Won't see her hever uO More, DOF father neither, if yon ain't a good boy; so there!” and at this moment P ter entered, and, as he thought, saw in the child’s eyes the dead mother looking so reproachfully that, with no time for re- feetion, he caught the smal! creature tn bi: comforting him by saying, will take him.” “And Jenny, too?” “Yea, Jenny has gone on, but we will soon get up wich her.” ‘A certain amount of tact had stood Mrs. Grant in good stead all her lifetime, but, certainly none of it was forthcoming in the ensuing argument with her son. “Take the child! Carry the boy with him—to ‘See Selina! Ridiculous, impossible! What would she think, What would any One think, at such a Lon bare done?” “Think that I am very fond of my child, mother, and that I Wantto see whether she can be the same. “You know well enough that Selina’s never been accustomed to children, and "tsn't her habit to take much noice of them.” Lin spend remembered ; it had struck him before, but mother’s words put the seal on his reso- lution. ‘Had Mrs Grant only used mild opposition or been contented to laugh at him for the overin- duigent father he knew himself to be, little Peter would have most surely been left at Winscott. As it was, with a determination which those about him haat rarviy witnessed, he called for the child's Rat aud coat aud ordered the girl to dress bin. “You aint going to take him as he is,” said Mrs, Grant furiously; “at least let im have his best things put on.” ‘But no, Peter was contented that the boy should ‘be clean and tidy, and tis manner was so decided that Mrs. Grant saw she bad best give way.
