There was a suspicious twitching about the mouth, but she looked hard at her embroidery and was Bllont. "That is not fair, Marian, with your devoted father and Dudley," reproved re-proved Nell. "Perhaps not. It's hard for me to take a normal view of things with the fumes of the volcano inside of it rising in my face all the time. But leally they are all changed. Daddy Is not himself. He is such a loyal old soul and Is so afraid he will not be fair to all sides that he lives in a state of perpetual constraint, except when he is in Dudley's blessed den."

Every night after the store closes Daddy goes up there and smokes a pipe with Dudley and I go down and have a visit with them. There Daddy Is himself. We stay there till bedtime. I feel sure I shall not do anything to annoy Daddy when I am In bed " The girl made a wry face. "Everywhere else in the house J can hear my chains of constraint clanking behind me." Marian's Ma-rian's laugh had no mirth in it. Nell tried, but could think of nothing noth-ing comforting to say. "At first I did not care how much trouble I made poor Daddy, but now : I know he has all he can manage. J I must not add to it. If she made i him happy I could learn to tolerate her for his sake, but now ." The girl broke off her sentence and resumed re-sumed in a lower voice: "Poor Daddy, Dad-dy, he must walk as he can and carry his burden." "You must help him all you can," said Nell softly. "Yes, indeed. There he comes now. I will run and walk home with him." The girl gathered up her work. "There Is one comfort, as Mrs. T. cares nothing for him, she is not jealous over any attention we show him. "Good-bye." Marian sped down the walk and tucked her hand confidingly con-fidingly in her father's arm as he t lifted his hat to Nell. (To be continued.) FASHIONS IN LINGERIE. Silk Lined Albatross.
