"You must let me help you with your preparations for bed." "Thank you, Lu," returned Grace; "you are such a dear sister--always so kind and helpful to me; but I am sorry that for my sake you should lose the pleasure of going to the Court of Honor with the others to-night." "O Gracie, you know we always find out in the end that papa's way is the best for us both, and he refused my request for my own sake as well as yours." "Yes; he is the very kindest and best of fathers," said Grace; "he never refuses any one of his children anything he can give them when he thinks it good for them."

"He does it at sunrise too, doesn't he ?" asked Evelyn Leland.
"Yes; but we'll never get over there in time for that.

Some of our American folks don't know what he is about,--not understanding his language--and imagine that he's selling popcorn or advertising the dance-house, or maybe calling for somebody to come and help him down." "How, Uncle Wal ?" asked Neddie.
"With a ladder, I suppose." "Do they bring it to him ?" "I don't think they have yet, Neddie; at least I haven't heard of it.
