She was quite badly in- jured, and was laid up in bed for a month, Mother and I had her work to do, while Julia tock wing to New- port. “Things are strangely ordered in this world,” I said, as I laid down a half-read letter from her one day in October, full of her gayeties and suc- ceeses, and glanced at Christina, be- ginning to limp heavily about in the kitchen, “They always come out right,” said mother, quietly. “ What is that on the other side?” 1 turned the letter and read: “Oh, by the way, I thought I owed ‘Old Norje’ some reparation for her injuries in my behalf. So I wrote to our consul in Christiana to pay Jan's debt for me, and to send him and his mother out by the next steamer. You told me that old Sanders had finally grumbled himself into his grave. Why not take Jan as farm hand and put him and his mother into the tenant house? 1 have ordered from New York a few odds and ends to make it comfortable for them.

We had grown very fond of the patient, affectionate crea- ture with her everlasting chatter ‘of “ mutter and Jan.” The “odds and ends” proved to be a very complete, though plain, plenish- ing for a house.

From the sides of this room arc found several apertures similar to the main one of entrance, which lead to as many sleeping apart- ments. The appearance presented by these houses is, to say the least, unique, and more strikingly so by reason of their great contrast with those of the usual Indian village, which is always built on low sandspits. The principal means of livelihood of these natives are fishing and walrus and seal hunt- ing. To these people the walrus is the more important animal, inasmuch as from its hide and intestines they obtain the covering for their houses and boats, and the ivory they sell to traders is the most valuable article in demand.
