In my world there is only one person who can do that, and she is not jq by any means old enough to be my _ mother. If she were, she might feel *. equal to giving me adyice. l. It was a fortunate day for me when t Lois came to the rescue. I waB trying to live through the first half-year of . widowhood, just keeping the battered wreck of my life afloat with two small spars between me and death. The privilege of tears even was denied me ; for it made my boys unhappy, and they hung around me, lest I should be f10 alone with my grief, in a way that fcK0 nearly drove me wild. ^ My low was not a common one.

I had cried my face quite out of shape, and was angry that ^UD she should see me in that plight. rp "Only worried about the boys," I said, by way of explanation. fa? "Of course!" Lois'said. But she eou, smiled. Igaa It was no laughing matter to me, and I said so; but she assured me that i8te it would be next year. bg"But I don't live in next year; I live to-day!" I said warmly. kiD( "I see you do," said Lois, "and 1 know just how you feel: for I've tried tnn it myself." "But you were not left alone"- j0 ( And then I madly broke down agaiu. nefij "No, not alone," said Lois, consid- ^in ering; "yet the father ?f my boys was aQ(j often away for months at a time, and nejI could not go to him in small emer- out' fancies." don "None of mine are small," T said. tuo| And Lois did uot correct me. forj. "My boys are terribly headstrong" ? f, ("ThankGod!" added Lois, like the *r, "Amen" to the Te IJeum), "and I am afraid they are growing heedless. My word is not the law it usee* to be." for "Perhaps because it is only yon tlut, word," suggested Lois. is "Isn't that enough?" I asked. * "Is it?" she asked. "Your word must be the word of the Lord to 8jcjj ihem." . but "How can it be, always? That is Th just it. He says 'Thou shalt' and 'Thou shalt not.' " "That is because he knows all ono things." . der "But even you will say that I did ^ right in forbidding the boys to go on ^or the lake again." uot A second time Lois smiled; but it un(j was not in a superior way.
