Mrs.  Bagley  now  declared  that  she

                                  should  go  at  once  to  her  work.            All
                                  the  young  men  had  come  in,  she

                                  said,  and  they  would  soon  be  calling
                                  for  lights.

                                     Wilifred  went  into  the  hall,  where,  as

                                  Peggy had  told  her*  she  found  a row  of
                                  lamps  and  a  big pile  of towels.  Taking

                                  some  of  these,  she  went  up-stairs  and
                                  boldly  knocked  at  one  of  the  doors.

                                      A  voice  cried,  11 Come  in,”  and,  enter­
                                  ing  the  room,  she  saw  Mr.  Bolander

                                   seated  at  a  table,
                                        Wellj  chicken f  you  are  late  to-night.

                                   W hy  did n’t  you  come  for  your  les­
                                   sons?'’  he  asked;  and  then,  looking  up,

                                   he  suddenly ejaculated,  11  Ton  my  word,

                                   that  little  sister of  Moran’s  looks  more
                                   like  yon,  Peggy,  than  you  do  like

                                   yourself,  so  to  speak.      I t ’s  a  wonder­
