(Oopjrlfbt. by JoMpb a Bowlm)
Letty’s proud, sore heart, was the
real, true and only reason for the
sudden uprooting of the Lavender
family. For years she and Stephen
Squire bad been playmates, and lat-
terly undeclared sweethearts. 8teph
en had been learning farming—be now
managed bis father’s land—he was a
smart, good-looking young yeoman
and his father expected him to marry
well. He would never fulfill their
wishes, by loitering in the lanes with
Letty Lavender, the daughter of a
widow in humble circumstances. His
sisters could not forgive her for her
pretty face, his father could not over-
look her empty pockets, but nothing
could be said against her family—
for it was known that a hundred
years ago, the Lavenders were great
people—and gentlefolk; their Impres-
sive monuments covered half the
walls In the village church—but gamb-
ling and the bottle, brought them
down to the rank of cottagers In less
than three generations; and all that
remained to Letty, was her beauty,
her self-will, and her pride. She was
aware that Stephen, her old playmate
was "warned off” from her Boclety.
His sisters had insulted her In public
—whilst his father had sought but
and brought home an acceptable future
daughter-in-law. But still Stephen
was staunch. With eager eloquence,
he suggested to Letty that they should
marry, and go out to New Zealand,
and make their home there, but she
refused. She would not leave her
mother and brother, and make a sort
of runaway match. Then she and
Stephen had sharp words. He was,
he said, ready to sacrifice his family,
and all his prospectc, but Letty would
not even meet him quarter way—and
she was so cold and distant, he be-
lieved she did not care a straw about
him. At this crisis. Miss Bulger ap-
peared on the scene. Stephen was
seen In her company—at church—and
flower show—and the breach was com-
plete.
Letty felt that she could not endure
to remain in Sllverstream, receiving
the compassion of the villagers. After
a final scene with Stephen, she made
up her mind to escape from her old
life and make a fresh start elsewhere.
As a dressmaker In London, for In-
stance. Her mother would not listen
to the word "separation;” If Letty
went, they would all go. Dan, the
lanky, shock-haired boy, was of no
importance In family councils. Let-
ty’s imagination was active, she
planned the move entirely. When the
place was duly advertised, and a suit-
able purchaser found—she decided
that they would take a nice little flat
In London, where marketing was
cheap, and everything was ao conven-
ient. She would go Into the dressmak-
ing business.
In London she would forget Stephen.
Mm. Lavender, a thin, fair woman
—Dan, her shr-k-headed, half-witted
son of 19. and Letty—her pretty, en-
terprising daughter, came to London
in the month of August, accompanied
by “Muff,” the cat They took two
furnished rooms In a house near the
VauxhIU road, and prepared to enter
on their new kingdom.
October erme—with nrwa of the
war in South .uica—London filled,
but trade was sUIl alack, and faces
were long an-* gloomy. Christmas am
rived—and found the Lavender fam-
ily still in the two squalid rooms, still
unemployed, and one and all secretly
yearning to be back In Rosedale. Bad
news had arrived with the New
Year. Mr. Tonk—who was Insensible
to letters, or even telegrams, had sud-
denly bolted, having quietly disposed
of all the effects at Rosedale. He
owed two hundred and thirty pounds
—he had only paid twenty on account.
This disaster, so entirely unexpected,
was a terrible blow to Mm. Lavender,
whose meager savings were rapidly
diminishing la London. dad the
gone—Tonk had
—and no more—1 ant off for the frost
now.” Thus Steve departed— hla
hopes postponed—but not dispelled.
Meanwhile Letty had sufficient
trouble on her hands at home. Her
mother's health was indifferent, she
Buffered more than ever from bron-
chitis, and funds were depresslngly
low. Dan had taken to the London
streets—aa a fish to water, and be-
came the pal aod friend of sandwich
men and newsboys— finally a news-
boy himself—not being such a fool aa
he looked!
The year 1900 was a black one for
many familiee^-rindudlng the Laven-
ders. They bad no near kin abroad-
no one fighting and fainting on the
South African veldt—hut they had
ample anxiety near home. It was now
a question of keeping the wolf from
the door, and Dan a was the hand
that beat him off. Dan took round
the Evening Scream, and his voice
out-bawled that of the most leather-
lunged in the district, but his earnings
were scanty—enough for one—but a
pitiful supply for three.
Summer came with sunshine and
gay parasols, and the usual London
season,” but to Letty and her mother
It brought nothing but agonising mem-
ories of the pretty rose-clad "Hose-
dale.”
Christmas came round again, and
found Letty doing "slop-work” with
her machine—assisted by her mother
flannelette shirts, threepence >a
dozen.
Mother!” she exclaimed, "yon and
Dan ought to hate me, though this Is
the season of good will. I had a quar-
rel with Stephen—all because his sis-
ters were rude to me, and I resolved
to come to London, and be a success
—look at me! Do I look like a suc-
cess? And I have dragged you and
Dan from your comfortable home,
and simply worked on your affection,
and you left Rosedale with me—left
comfort—for—for starvation. Oh!
oh!" and she bent her head upon her
hands and sobbed aloud.
“What’s this?” Inquired Dan—’’’Ere
la a nice Christmas dinner, sis! and
I have brought you a Christmas pres-
Int!" and in his (I regret to add)
grimy fingers he held up a little
brown paper parcel. This he opened,
and proudly displayed what looked
like a diamond spray—and oh, how It
glittered and shone—red, white and
two Thousand five hundred pounds. It
had no history—most fortunate fact
—and no claimant, ao It belonged to
Letty Lavender. Who, needless to say,
sold It—and with the proceeds In her
hand, suggested to her mother that
they should return to Rosedale. The
business arrangements connected
with U>e sale of the ornament were
necessarily protracted, but by the end
of May the Lavender family had re
tutned to Rosedale. Fortunately their
,old house still stood empty, and they
I lost no time In taking possession, and
collecting their belongings—dog in
eluded*—and settling Into their usual
groove—almost as If they had never
left the village.
Stephen Squire had recently return-
ed from South Africa with three
wounds, two medal*, and a heart still
loyal to Letty Lavender—and old
John, hi* father, no longer objected
to the match. Forgiveness Is never
so easy as when convenient—the girl
was a lady by birth—and had a tidy
little fortune of two thouaand pound*.
He dispatched his son to the ene
my’s camp with a flag of truce. In the
shape of a fine home-cured bam—and
all Is now—peace, good will, and proa
parity.
TEACHES WORK IN METALS.
School
Gives Finest
■tion.
An exhibition of the work done bj
the pupils of the Hat at Worker*
school In Rosswein has recently been
held at Freiberg which showed the
thoroughness of the Instruction at thh
splendid technical Institution. The
pupils are chiefly from Prussia and
Saxony and one of the conditions ol
admission that is noteworthy Is that
the applicant Hhall have had three
years of practical experience.
Many of the German states are
lng the school library and granting
free scholarship to deserving young
men. The Institution la provided with
one of the finest teehnlcal llbr&rler
In Europe and has a large supply ol
the most complex apparatus.
Extensions are frequently made tc
the large factories and mines In the
neighborhood. The course at the
school lasts from 18 months to two
years and embraces four departments
—architecture, machine building,
electro-technics and the line art*. A
great deal of attention is given to
create and In order to simulate the
Inventive faculties the German patent
office supplies the Institution free of
charge with ooptea of patents pertain

trical apparatus. In addition to spe-
cial branches In metal work, etc., at-
tention Is given to mathematical

Rule for Hospitality.
In Washington, Gs„ the first town
In America named after the father o(
his country, lived General Robert
Toombs, one of the brilliant lights
of hospitality in a country where so-
cial instinct Is second nature, says
the Youth’s Companion.
A committee once waited on Gen-
eral Toombs to consult him about
erecting a hotel In the town.
“We have no need of ones” said
General Toombs, simply. "When re-
spectable people come here they can
stay at my house. If they are not re-
spectable we do not want them at

Lloyd’s Blackest Day.
Sir Henry Holler, who ha* Jutt re-
tired after 32 years’ service aa secre-
tary of Lloyd's, said not long ago that
the blackest day he could remember
was In October, 1881, when 108 ves-
sels were posted as lost In 12 hours.
When a vessel Is lost It Is announced
by the tollng of the bell which hangs
beside the crier’s box. It is tolled
once when a vessel is lost, twice whee
a missing vessel comes to port.

WHEN REAL WORK IB DONE.
Periods of Absolute Reet Lead to
Ideae That Win Success.
Growth le predominantly a function
of rest. Work Is chiefly an energy-
extending and tearing-down process,
says a writer In the World’e Work.
Rest following work Is chiefly a build-
ing-up and growing process. Work
may furnish the conditions under
which subsequent growth may occur,
but in itself It la destructive. By
work we do things In the world, but
we do not grow by work. We grow
during rest. Rest la not the only con-
dition of growth, but It Is one of the
essential conditions.
The best work that most of ui do hi

desks, but when we are wandering in

directed thought*. From somewhere
