The air was clear and dry on the hill, al
though the arista of uu autumn twilight were
settling down on the busy little town in the
valley below, and us Mrs. Hallett, from the

That paper had never been fonnd.

ofhia parents lie had brought hia bride
here, and hia children were born nnder the
roof he bad come to look upon on hia own.
11a did not deliberately scheme to wrong
hia brother; but he had never made any
search for the paper of which Lisbeth had
spoken.
And so years had rolled on without any
one disputing with John Hallett bis posses
sion of the home so dear to him. Lisbeth
made no farther allusions to the paper.
8he know that Master Tom was dead, and
not aware that it might have been of
importance to his widow and offspring.
And now. after all this lapse of time, the
children of John Hallett'e dead brother had
oometo England. For what could it be,
he asked agitatedly, but to claim their
own?
John Hallett started for town oppressed
with a new fear. Lisbeth might have fonnd
the paper, and inspecting him of fool play,
posted it to Canada.
How he got through the day noons knew
for Charlie pleaded a headache and etayed
at home.
The disappointed yonth would not risk
encountering his newly-fonnd relatives,
while he was unable to account to them for
his father's extraordinary refusal to reoeive
them at the Copse.
He knew how ranch they were looking
forward to his visit Had not their father
talked to them of his English home, till
they would bo able to recognize every an
tique piece of furniture in the home, every
fine old tree in the garden ?
Mrs. Ilollett's sympathies were with her
■on, but she wm too dutiful a wife to esy
so, and, seeing that she avoided him, Char
lie carried a book into the shrubberies,
shunnrag the eyes of his elder sisters, wbo, .
for lack of any other reason for his de
pression, decided that he mast have fallen
in love
And so he had. Already hia heart had

good woman should bo. Min wm a most
attractive girl; be would be a fortunate
fellow who won her, bnt she lacked the
indescribable something that made her sis
ter bewitching.
At last he went indoors to find his
mother, end—if he could get her by her
self—to confess how keenly he would feel
a separation from the pretty Nellie, who
wm rapidly becoming dear to him.
He hurried to the morning room, and
had entered it from the garden before he
became aware that the parlor-maid wm
wm just ushering in some visitors.
It wm too late to retreat, they were acta- |
ally in the room, Nell and Min gazing
around them with shy pleasure, and Mian
Mary Hallett, her broad face beaming with
smiles m she caught hold ot her sister-in-
law's hands and kissed her on both cheeks.
“My dearest Jennie, I have brought these
dear girls to spend a few days with you—

Take it yonng ladies! I believe, nay. bnt I
am sure it concerns your father.”
Mr. Ballet wm just Bitting down to the
early breakfast his wife had risen to share
with him, when Nell and Min came to his
side with the paper.
“We have not opened it, dear nnote; it ia
yon win should read it to us. Perhaps it
wm to let my father kuow that hia parents
had quite forgiven him for leaving them.
He use to say he had not acted well in de
serting them."
But John Hallstt pushed the paper from
him.
‘The hand of God is in this,” he
groaned. “Read for yourselves, and ease
my soul of the burden that lies heavily
upon it. Lisbeth told me that there wan
such a paper in existence, bat my searah
for it wm a half-hearted one. I valued my
home more than what ia right, but if I am
to lose it I will bear the loes without mur
muring, for 1 have had greater mercies be
stowed on me than I deserve."
Mrs. Hallett drew nearer and laid her
cheek aguinst her husband's, while
Min, in faltering tones, read the few feebly
traced lines the paper contained.
“I have thought over your wish, dear
wife; it is hard to say yon nay, bnt I cannot
let compassion for Tom make me unjust to
his brother. Do you know that if John
had not toiled early and late at the time of
that terrible crisis we must have been
ruined? It wm hia industry, hia perse
verance, that enabled ns to retain the home
that has grown so dear to us. When we
are gone let him reap the trait of his labors.
Tom will not love us any the leas because
are have nothing more to give him but onr
blessing."
Bo tho Copse was the property of John
Hallett, after all; but wno that taw that
face just then would have ventured to
congratulate him? He bowed it on his
hands, and the sisteri stole away, leaving
him alone with tho Under, faitbfnl wife
from whom ho never had a secret.
Nell and'Min went back to Canada at the
appointed time, bnt they did not refuse
useful gifts their ancle added to their lug
gage, for they saw that ho would bo a hap
pier man if allowed to take the plaoe of the
father they had look Charlie will follow
them in the spring to fetch homo his bride.

Now. about this meal I have to say that, if
partaken of elone by one's self, it ought to
ba an abstemious one. Even in company
it need not be a heavy one. No matter how
many connes there are, there is not tha
slightest necessity of making too free with
them. Bat it ie a feet, which every one
mast have felt, that even e moderately heavy
meal ia qaicklv and easily digested if ac
companied with and followedby witty or
inteUectual and snggaativt conversation.

On Monday morning Mr. Hallett pro
nounced himself sufficiently restored to go
to bMines*. He had repulsed hia wife when
she attempted to win hia confidence; he had
given no explanation to hia son; both,
therefore, wen feeling hurt and anxious,
though trying to conceal U from each other.
They would have pitied him had they
known what a Sunday he bad spent, shut
ting himself away from hia family because
every questioning look they turned upon
him seemed to pierce his heart and lay bare
that which be hid within it.
Yea, lb* upright, honorable John Hallett
bad a secret that ha had buried ao deep
down a* to be sometimes forgotten, until a
chance word or recollection would bring it
beck to bis memory. Ha bad a trouble of
which no ooe knew .anything but old lie-
bath, and even she did not suspect its na-
horered near hi* chair, they left off speak
ing when they heard his voice, and, when
complaining of fatigue he rose to go to hia
room, moved by th* earns impulse, both
girls ran forward to put their arms about
his neck and hold up their fair young faecu
for a good-night kta*.
It wu plain that he hail been mistaken
when he fancied they had come to wrest hia
Lome from him, bnt be waa none th* hap
pier for the knowledge. He tried to appear
calm and cheerful, to respond to the affec
tion with which hia nieces were disposed to
regard him; but when they talked, m they
did freely, of the trials and straggles they
and their mother had gone through with
before and after their bereavement, hit
heart fainted within him, and hia remoras
would beoome overpowering.
John Hallett would fain have made atone
ment He throat into Nell's hand a roll of
notes; but it wm promptly returned.
“Dear nuele, wa want nothing from yon
bnt your love. How can yon imagine that
while we are strong, and well able to work,
we would rob you ot what you have earned
for your children?”
No, ha waa not to be allowed to glaze hia
conscience by this kind of compensation.
Nor waa it any Me protesting that the very
act of leaving the Copse away from him-
the eldest eon—waa unfair, especially m
Tom's portion bad been jMtly meted out
to him at hia own desire. As long a# Tom'*
daughters were is hia bouse, keeping IUw
the old rteoUaction, how could he beet
|>cac* with himself?
Four data elapsed—anxious ones to
Charley anil hia mother, who watched Mr.
Hallett's changing mood*, but hesitated to
speak of them even to each other—yet very
pleasant ones to the yonng Canadians. At
tributing to their uncle's ill-health the
shadow they saw on his brow, and the
troubled looks his wife and son would in
terchange, they were always gentle and
sympathetic.
It waa the onl- cheek on their enjoyment 1
of their visit to their English relatioM.
Aunt Mary, in spite of her fidgety ways, waa
a lovable old lady. Mrs. HalleU wm very ,
motherly; and as for Charley, ah! Neu l
would sigh whanever she reminded herself |
bow soon their stay in England would draw
to a close.
One morning the sisters were on their :
w*y to the gunlen, when they saw Liabetb j
in the set of unlocking the door of the !
closed chamber.
They pressed into it with her. Why
should they not? They knew of no prohi-
tion, and ware so eager to hear all aha
could tell them about grandmamma, that
