It was a bit of lowland, with the sea shimmering in the di-tanre, on which c u'd be seen the white sail of ship homeward hound. Her mother-in the happier days had been skillful with brush and pencil, and hid taugi.t the little that she knew to Hope. It had served to brighten man y a weary hour for both mother and daughter, and after the mother s death Hope bad gone on iu her own way paint ing all the old scenes she coiod remem-b'-r, often denying hersr-if manv coni foits that she might buy the few Lu he of color.
