By Sidney SmithM
She vas (Ircd and 'perhaps that is why
sho became angry, ,
"Yoji'so straight to your bed," she
said, with bcr mouth, hard and her eyes
glinting, llko cold flint, "and nono of
your nonsenbc, or 'you can go straight
back to town." ,
When l'e'arl a'galn reached tho little
stifling room, sue fell on her knees and
prayed. ' ,
.'Dcafc. God." shfl snlrl. . "HiKr..

Pearl braided her hair Into two little
'"l",,, uu,uer """? dilapidated
comb, n ben-sho brought out tho con-
lenis 01 too olrurairi. nml nnin,i' If In
search of her nightdress, tho oraugo
ruiieu oui,- almost irigntcnina Her. The
nurse, too, rhttlcd ou thc bare floor as
u icu.
Sho picked it up, nnd by going close
to the ily-spcckcd 'window she counted
tbo ten ten-cent, pieces, a wholo dollar.
NoveHwas u little girl moro happy.
"It was Camilla," sho whispered to
herself. "Oh, I lovo Camlllul and I
never said 'G.od bless Camilla,' "
with a, sudden pang of remorse.
f-ho Was on bcr knees in n 'moment
uud added, a postscript.
"I cnu, send tbo orango homo to ma,
and sho can put tho Bklns lu thc chlst

.Clasping her llttlu puree In her hand,
and with thc oraugo close bosido her
head. She 'lay down to sleep. The smell
of tho orange made her forget thc
heavy ale lu thp room.
"Anyway," alio murmured content
edly, "thc Lord is' attending to all
that." ' . . ,'
Pearl slept tho heavy sleep of healthy
childhood and woko in the gray dawn
before any on elso in thc household
was stirring. Slio threw dn some cloth
ing and:wut down thc ladder into thc
kitchen. She started the fire, Secured
the basin full of water and a piece of
yellow soap qud came back to her room
for her "ollver."
"I can't lave it all to the Lord' to
do," sho said, as she rubbed, tho soap
on licr uuio wasa-rag, n aacsn i ao
to impose on good nature." ,
When Tom. thc only son .of thc
Mothcrwclls, came down to light the
Ore, he found Pearl setting the table,
tho kitchep swept and thc kcttlo boil-,
lug.
Pearl looked at him with lier, friendly
Irish smile, which he returned awk
wardly. Ho was a ' fall, stoop-shouldered,
rather good-looking lad of twenty. He
had heavy 'gray -eyes, and a drooping
mouth.
Tom bad gone to school a few winters
when there was not much doing, but his
father thought it was a great deal better
for a boy to learn to handle horses and
'.'sample wheat." and run a binder, than
learn the "pack of nonsense they got in
school nowadaysV'and when the pretty
llttlp teacher from the eastern town
ship came, to -South-field school, Mrs.
Motherwell kn?w nt jone glanco that
Tom would learn no good front her. She
was such a-fllghty looking thlngl'FIow
cm ou the tndcr side of her hat I
So poor Tom 'grew up a' clod of the
volley. Yet Mrs. Motherwell would
tell you, '".Our Tom'll be tho rlchcat
man in these parts. He'll get every
cent we have .and all the land, too ; and
I guess thcro won'.t be many that can
afford to turn up their noses at. our
Tom. And. mind yc, Tom can tell a
horso as well as tbo next one, nnd he'6
a boy that won't waste nothin', not
llko , some wo know. Look at them
Slaters now! Fred and George have
been, off to college two years, big over
grown .hulks they are, aud young Peter
is going to the Agricultural uouege in
Guclph this Winter nnd the old mnn
will hlro 'n man to tako care of tho
stock and him with three boys of his
own. Just ns if a boy can learn nbout
farhiin' at n college! And the way them
girls dress and tho old lady, too. and
her not'pblo to spenk above a "whisper.
Tho old lady wears iiu ostrich feather
in her- bonnet, nml they're a terrible
costly thing. I hear. Mind jou they
duly Keep six rows, uud they send every
drop they don't uso to tin; creamery.
.Everybody can do ah they like, I sup

"Woof! That sounds good! I'll go
