Tue Friday, the 18th, dawned clear and mild for Miss Cynthia, and the early hnorning breezes that ruled the tar hale on het pillow breathed no_ hint of adventure, though they. wakened her long before the usual bour. She opened her eyes on a window-framed Jindseape with the downriver hills and banks in the distance. She had the feeling that she was going on vith a dream in the top of the barn in which she hed been Just about to roice her admiration for the picture toa tall and glorified Miss Selina Lue in gray knlekerbockers, when her con- sciousness formed complete connec: tion and she sat up and stretched ‘her white arms with a smile. The im: pertinence of the man to presume to mix in her dreams, even it his ple- tures were wonderful! ‘Aa Miss Cynthia dressed in’ « Ils urely way she found it hard to keep her thoughts from straying to tho blutt and the barn. She had for more than a week controlled the inclination of her feet to wander in that direc. tion, and now she felt impelled to see iilss Selina’ Lue and. Blossom—and— On dear! how she did love those ple tores! On her way downstaits. she looked eauilously in her mother’s door and found her awake and in the act of taking her morning nourishment, Brerything Mrs. Jackson Pago did ‘was in the way of @ ceremony, and the recetved Miss Cynthia graciously —in a potnt-lace breskfast-cap. “How ere you, mother, this lovely morning?” she:tngulred gently. Mrs Jeckson Page preferred to be spcken ‘to in cadences of deepest sympathy at all times, “As well as T can ever hope to be.” she answered languidly, though she ‘Apped with a degree of relish the seo- ond cup of coffee and began a busl- nessitke attack on a substantial tray of breakfast the maid had set before her. “Are you golng in to town to- day Thad hoped you would look at that house on University avenue.

After a proper degre of concern and consolation, Migs Cynthia beat a hasty retreat down the steps. The telephone stopped her on her way to the outslde world and an animated conversation ensued, conducted by Byelyn Branch, ‘Who was up and doing far earller than was her wont. “You dear thing," she hailed across the city, “to be awake so early! Did You get your worm ail right? I was just calling to leave my number for you, Iam so exclted—I—" “Then I infer you ld catch your “Worm,” laughed Miss Cynthia into the teleptione. “It {en't a worm 1am after; it's a man.” “Too early then, dear, unless you Want a brisk farmer.” “Anything but, cherie!

Miss Cynthla finally reached the door of the grocery and paused a moment ‘on the steps. Nobody being in sight, she called softly. ‘Miss Selina Lue poked her head out of her little lean-to-bédroom and greeted her In a yolco of bustling ex- feltement. “Til be thero tn a minute ‘Miss Cynthia, honey. “Mr. Dobbs have ‘got a holiday and he wants us to go ‘up to the Lock with him to three ‘o'clock meeting on the gospel-boat what's tied up there this week.

She rarely went to town and then only on the most urgent bust ness. She had a decided aversion to the cars even with Mr. Flarity sand ‘Mr, Jim Peters motoring and con- ducting. “Not that they aln’t good drivers,” she always hastened to say, “but I prefer to travel with a thinking crit- ter a-pulling of me, instead of being druy by a Uttle box of lightning that ain't got no conscience about running away with me, Besides, there are more ways in the city to git kilied two or three times a minute than a body could dream up ina week, I should think all the town folks would be mighty good, and live lives prepared to 60, I never draw a free breath hardly, with being snatched to the top, of houses with seventeen stories and coming down all the time trying to swoller my heart.” ‘“{ hate’ thoso fast elevators in the skyscrapers myself,” Mise Cynthia fhad answered her sympathetically. “phey are all jest a part and a par cel of the running around of things ‘They ain't no peace in it all, and I am fone that holds that peace are the afr that religion breathes, and when {t fits shet off from it it sholy cles.

King George now was divested of his crimson robes by the lord great chamberlain and seated himself in the chalr of King Edward I, which contains the anclent “stone of des: ‘tey.” The dean of Westminster brought from the altar the golden ampulla and. spoon, and the arch- biahop anointed him on the head, the Drensts and the palme of both hands, and blessed him, ‘The king was next invested with the coloblum sindonis of fine linen and the supertuntea of cloth of gold, bis heels were touched with tho golden spurs and the sword of state was girded upon him, after which the armill and robe royal o! cloth of gold were put upon him,.

Next the princes and peers did thelr homage, led by the archbishop of Canterbury and the prince of Wales. Each of these and the premier duke, marquls, earl, viscount and baron Kissed the king upon the cheek. The anointing and crowning of Queen Mary was a short and simple ceremony. Following the example of Queon Alexandra, she was anointed ‘on the head only. She was invested with the ring, was crowned by the archbishop of York and received the scepter and the ivory rod with the dove. Few Americans In the Abbey. Of all the Americans who have deen attracted to London by the fes- tivities of the coronation season, only a very few were admitted to tho Abbey.
