France. Switzerland :nd italy, visiting the storied scenes which had charmed her imagination. as she had read of them in her faihi-r‘s old books.
Sometimes she would almost doubt
her identity and whether what she saw were not the baseless faliric of a dream which might fade away in a moment.
Her wandering o’er she returned to
Scotland to revisilhei' aunt before rt- turning to America.

she said to herself, as well dressed and handsome she entered the gaily lighted parlor leaning on her uncle‘s arm.
‘When the evening was over and the
ts gone she heaved a sigh of re-
lief and after being kissed by the whole family retired to rest.
Then the face that had followed her
in all her wandering. the noble face with its blue eyes bent upon her .so earnestly. so eloquently. Had she read arlght the meaning of those eyes as they met her in parting? The same eweet sharp pain, that was not ali pain, shot through her heart and the consci- ousness of something blindly missed, something perversely thrown away, came over her.
The next morning farewells were
said and Christine set sail for home.
Over a year had passed but it had
made little change in the appearance of the girl. She looked fairer and fresher, and certain rusticities of speech and dress ,hed been lost-worn on as the marks of toil from her slender shapely hands. But to all intents and purposes she was the lame girl.
When at last one evening in July
Christine found herself safely landed in her native town, a troop of better thoughts came rushing upon her as if they had been waiting to give her a re- ception. Ne one h_ad_bee:i informed of her coming and so it was not strange that no friendly face greeted her. an d ` etas she walked along the quiet road hor heart fainted within her.
Weary and sick at heart she knocked
etthe door of the farm house where sh e had spent the last weeks before leaving for Europe. She was admitlef by the good natured datne and a troop of un- Woehed children, with noisy demonstra- tions. _The next day was Sunday and on the ple! of fatigue she kept her room. That. wel a long day-the longest of her life. she thought.
Monday came and with it the p_ro-
.-,hlomsef her _-thread butter.” Tie in the community .were lldlller many nor varied and for a time it seemed that every door was closed against her. But the girl was made of good stuff; she made a brave fight and elmo off conqueror.
Before the end of the week she had
engaged with D tvld Croncher to attend e general supply store and do spinning ill the back shop when not busy in the other department. _
The next Monday morning she went
to work, and as trade was not very brisk most of her time was given to spinning. She had served a good np- pfilltioenhip at the wheel while with her aunt and so was proficient in the art; Bud since she was not tied down to it lteadily she found it quite agreeable work.
But the evenings,-especially Satur-
dly evenings in the store. amid the to- bacco smoke and the course chatter of the men who made it a loafing place Ind every now and then the nnscience of I drunken man,wearied and sickened

to settle beneath her dark,sad eyes; and her heart would sink as she would think 0! spending the long winter evenings in that “den” as she called it. Salurda about two months after her arrival she snjd to herself as she trndged home in the darkness, ‘It is no use 1 cannot en- dure it any longer,-it is all so much harder than I expected’
She had not been to church since her
return. In fact she had not seen theo- inside of a church many times since her father’s untimely death. Her f-ether had been _considered unsound on nis logical_matlers andjpeople said Christine had inherited his ideas. But the facts were that the Georgetown pastor be longed to the old school of Scotch preachers. and was one of that class Who felt_hin1self called upon to preach the terrors o_f tbe_law, the doctrine of fore ordination in its most: extreme phase and to denounce every one who dared to think other than he did. He would pray Sabbath after Sabbath that the Lord might help him ‘to cry aloud and spare not ,’ and from some source he always got the help.
He had buried Christine’s father and
presuming that Mr. Cameron had taken his own life the reverend gentleman md °°l18l£l1ed him to ‘outer darkness’ mlmh 10 150 of Mrs. Cameron
