There {fore her Faithful Heart lost some- thing of his joy in the joyous summer day. He knew every change of the eyes—beautiful brown eyes, dark and liquid, set under arched brows and curtained with long, soft, straight lashes. Most lashes 80 long and thick bave a trick of curling upward. Mor- na’s rather lay in soft dusk fringe over the splendors underneath, or made & fairy shadow against the healthy pal- lor of her oval cheeks. Faithful Heart, of course, had an- other name—indifferent folk called him John Speer—“Honest John” more commonly. He was as honest as he was sturdy and ugly. It was an en- gaging ugliness, that made children hold out imploring arms to him, and dogs follow him, wagging the tail in Joy. He had grown up knowing Morna and loving her. He could not recall the day since he was ten and she & fairy of four that he had not been conscious of somehow having her in charge. After a sort she belonged to his people, being orphan step- daughter to the aunt who mothered him most.

Morna was looking out for the Ware dinner baskets, helped by a slim darkiéh young fellow wholly strange. John wondered, raging inly, if the dark fellow could be her perplexity. He was lithe and light on his feet, moviug as If on springs. Yet there vas something tense in his face, an edged timbre in his voice when he flung gay banter right and left.

In England a mile means the fa miliar 1,760 yards, but in Iceland 1t means 2,240 yards, and ia the High- lands it may mean the old Scots mile of 1976 yards. In Switzerland the || bardy mountaineers think 9,153 the proper thing, even when, as generally is, it is very much uphill. The Swiss is the longest mile of all, being fol lowed by the Vienna post mile of 8296 yards. The Flemish mile is 6,869 yards, the Prussian 8,237 yards, and in Denmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mile. The Turks are satisfied with 1,826 yards and the Italians shorten the distance of a mile to 1,7¢€.
