The evening was warm—the sort of
evening that makes oné think of green
fields and placid meadows and the moon
rising over fiower‘inghedgos. .
Bell, watching by the window from _:
whence she could ,ioo'nest nous step
which earns not, smothered a' sigh.
She was not much addicted to signing,
surely. Her days were too busy. But
this particular day had been so long
and trying and the children had been
so troublesome. Aunt Boll's hands had
been more than full. Not large hands,
either. Rather very small and delicate
though the lingers were a little rough-i

Vane Stephenson had resented the
amount of helpfulness volunteered by
those small hands more than once.
“Why do you drudge all?" he had
said angrily.
Then Bell, patiently, would explain—

aposition, and c children—what else
could she-do?‘ .' " -4 <
Vane would be silenced.
“ You‘ re a little saint, Bell!"
This, or any other ward of endear:
meat from him, was always enough to
bring the roses to her cheeks, even
though the charming face might have
looked a, trifle pale and wan before. .
The color came now, with a' sudden
rush, as the well-known form turned
the corner—at last! .
Vane was absent-minded tonight.
He took no notice of her pretty dress,
made by her own deft fingers. incclors
his artist’c eye approved. Ithsd cast
her many a deprivation, that dress,
cheap and simple as it was; and it had
been made only that she mightbopretty

was unkind wilfully, only she did not

to a lighter tone, in which there was
perhaps the least little sign of ember-

The plazzas of the hotel were full of
graceful forms in thin dresses and a

Wealthy Classes are Unknown—Norwegian
Peasants Compared With Those
of England.
In a country like Nol'Way, where there
is no very wealthy class, bringing with
them the most modern appliances'of
civilization; wheres railroads 1 are few,
inland communication very slow, and,
above all, where the physical geography
of the land divides it into sharply de-
fined separate dis'trlots, there is little to
connect the life of the peasant with the,
outer world. ' Thus he is ruled in all by
what his father didbefol'cthVlm, and
advances only slowly step by step, con-
tent not to advance at all if he can
remain "sufficiently comfortable where
he stands.- In no'one particular is the
