Dorcas Caledon, THE HEIRESS OF CAIEDOX HEIGHTS. AN AUTTOBIOGR.APH - BY FLORENCE E. DIAMOND. CIAPTER IV. Mrs. Clayton turned to a servant who was -in the room, and said quietly: "You may take this child to the school-room for to day, Ann. Tell Miss Dallas she will at tend to her as to others. I obediently followed the girl to the school room, which was a handsomely-furnished apartment on the second floor. The servant opened the door and gave me a shove inside. "'Mistress said she was to study here to-day," she cried, and shut the door, leaving me standingin the middle of the floor. I raised my head and loolced around. At a desk in one end of the room, a grave, plain-faced girl of perhaps two-and-twenty was sitting listening to a recitation from one of the three children under her charge. When she saw me she bado me be seated, but she' neither smiled nor gave me any word of welcome. Ier thoughts seemed far away, I thought, for her voice. though even and well-modulated, never raised or fil be low the same quiet monotone. When she had finished the lesson upon which she was engaged when I entered, she came forward and questioned me somewhat in regard to my studies. This done, she gave ue a book and requested me to read a certain passage. "YOU UNDEnSTAND EX. N I did so. When I had finished she made no comment, but bade us now give our atten &tion to mathematics. We did so. She was odparently a good teacher, for she took much pains to explain the problems and the rules that governed them; but her voice never lost its automatical ring. It w.as as though a wooden image were uttering those mhiggs, and consequently tge structions she gave were dry and uninteresting, and I d nopwonder that the children gave a sigh of relief when the lessen was over. But they had evidenty been taught implicit ob dience to-their teachers rules, for they were silent and respectful, paying strict atten ion to their books after their first stare of welcome to mhe when I was broufght in. She now gave us intermission, during which sheleft us alone together. The children at onceethrew off all restraint and approached mo with loud questions. "What's your name?" asked the oldest boy, looking into my face with his wicked bckeyes. 'told him. Are you going to live here"' he inquired nest. I did not answer. His ton, was jering and unkind, and I felt ready to cry. "Why don't you answer me? he asked, boughly. "Do you suppose," he continued, S o'reo going to have you here without I did not aser. ste was janding and brnthe, andrIgolte arad ucr ye inWtrng dontat you ansdrk skinh asdt bolack "Dor yhtaespoud$ heconud andowinIdi whotd; and t Icould exyeetdi net sk.nns She wfriending fro her, I saw at once.

The youngest boy re mained He was a sweet little fellow, with blue eyes and dark enrlingt hair. "Don't cry," he said, coming cl1ose to me and laying his little dimpled hand on my shoulder. "It'11make your head ache; it does mine," he continued, wisely. -I felt comforted somewhat by his gentle, n~idly words, and I sat up and wiped my "ccame from a long way ofL. didn't yon?" ho inquired, seating himself beside me. "And did my mamma bring you, and wha made your mama let you come?" "Ihave no mamma," I replied; and then - iexplained to him how we lived at the home and the circumstances of his mother's adopting me, though why she had done so, when she had three children of her own, I couild not imagine. "Now tell me about yourself," I said, when I had finished. "Are those your brother an-I sister who were here a moment ago?" "Not my real brother and sister," he said, gravely; "only my half brother and sister. They're twins, you know; c'ne is just as old as-the other, Irma and Irving Barrett that's their names." "And vour name?" I inquired. "Is Bertie Clayton, he answered, s'o gravely and manlike, I could hardly help smilng. "You and I'll be friends," he went on. "I like you. You mus'n't mind if they are cross and mean-they always are. Bunt I like you. I think you're nice, nier than Irma; not so pretty, for she is like a pict ure; I heard mamma tell papa so to-day. But she's cress to me. Are you ever -cross?" I assured him of my usual good nature, -and we soon became good friends.

When the bell rang for lessons I ran in feeling much more cheerful and content than before. Our lessons for the remainder of the fore noon were very short. Attwelve we dressed with the governess; but, with the exception of Bertie, who chattered to me in his artless way, no ono spoke to me or recognized my presence in the least.

(To D co'rS PED] The Love and Respect of' Children. If mothers could only realize what a critical period their children are passing through from the third to the sixth year, they would exercise more than orinary care during that time. Not only physically but mentally and mor ally are they undergoing a change; a change for better or worse, according to the care and attention they receive from their mothers and fathers. A father is no more exempt from certain duties towards his offspring than the mother. He should always bear in mind that his assistance in the control of the children is of more value to his tired wife than the presentation to her of a costly gift. It is at this time that children begin to notice papa's and mr.mma's bearing towards one another; let this always be one of perfect court esy and respect. Nothing so quickly. destroys respect for parents as constant bickering in the presence of their chil dren. The first thing a child should be taught is respect for his parents and elders; affection comes naturally with most children and is the most valuable aid in gaining control of their actions; next to that is respect, without it very little can be accomplished for the child's welfare. Parents should bear this in mind that children lose respect very soon upon hearing them disagree; using bitter, cutting words to each other. This is inflictinig the first actual pain these baby hearts have been called upon to bear. In the presence of this the child experiences conflicting emotions, which ends in pity for one parent and con tempt for the other. 0 parent, pause, consider before you lose this hold on the little being who has heretofore con sidered you perfect. Let there be unanimity of purpose in act, word and~ deed before these little creatures, who are so susceptible to every new imnpres sion, if you would preserve their love and respet.-Mrs. Ellis L. Mumma, in Good Bousekeeping. "You have insulted me, sir, and .i demand an apology," ang"rily said onc politician to another. "How?" inquired the other. "You said I was a liar, sir." " did 1?"
