All this time havi

seenied in trouble himself in mi way about
her, and rarely looked at her even w hen Ic
niw her in my arms, or clinging to mv

She slept ill my niiiis. and was minis
tered to by me nlmie; and now. as 1 take
up the thread of my simy again, she was
three years old -a little Minny hailed,
fairy hk" crenini-e, who seemed in me the
very t iul o iiliiiu ii t nf infaiitiiie .. elim ss.
It was nearly f hristnias again, the
snow lay thick upon the inooi's. nnd in
the glow of ilie lirclight I ami a:l..s

I 'our day s had passed, find Snndny had
ci'ie, ami this Sunday was Christmas
day. It was a dour, bright, frosty day,
with brilliant sunshine that spat id. I mi
trees and hedges, nnd the diamond icicles
that beiiiititicd their bareness.
Parby was standing by tile window,
ready .-.pupped for church in crimsmi p.--liss"
and furs, out of which hrr gol.l. n
ln ad nnd sweet white rose face lit'.-. I
themselves like a flower. The child knew
perfectly well when I was dressed and
r.-.-idy for her. Al times really it ni
c to Ilie as if she must lie able to see. "
keen were ln-r instincts nml so Infallibly
cnlTei't.
I was settled in the family pew. where
generations and generations of Temple
tons had worshiped In their time, and
Parby had nestled close to mo. and with
awe struck face, was listening to the ih ei
rolling loin s of the i.tgiin. As the clergy
man entered mid took his place I saw two
figures appear ill the groat s.piare pew
opposite our own. At the same instani a
nudge from T. d and a whisper nf "The
Kmcr" sent the color flying to my face
mid mi Twin-lined me with a sudden til of
shy ness.
I emild not for worlds nnve investij P.-.l
Ihe newcomers with the i-nol, critical s'-ire
.f my brothers. It was not, in fact, mi"!
the service was half over t lint I sniniii-.u-cd
up courage to look ill their direction.
Thou I saw a bright, handsome face, w i'li
laiiuhitig eyes, that met my own iw if
claiming ncipniililallcc with me, nml in
renewed confusion I dropped my lowered
lids upon my hook, thinking M myself:
"So tlint is the nephew." J had tint m-ou
the nude nt all.
Aftcl' tile service We filed nut "f the peW
ind 1 1 1 il r. 1 1 ' I down the aisle n family

up by Pin by nnd myself. Close upon n il

As .'.(. left the church p.. roll and etnerg.-l
into ilm bright, frosiy it ir. 1 -aw a ta:!

There was a brisk shaking of hands, a

"And what is j.uir name, my dear':" he
llslild, holding tin- w.-e linn. I in his great

'.-Il so uaily.
"I is Parhy," she says, in her pretty,
ilainlive M.icc; "ami dis is .loan," taking
lei- hand awny and pulling it in mine.
Sir Ralph looked nsl.. pished.
"Parby and .bum!" he echoed. "A ii"W
