LET us pay a flying visit to Kelmersdale to see how it fared with "grandma. " Mrs. Rayburn has not hitherto appeared in a very amiable light in these pages, yet she was not an altogether bad woman. She had a heart, though it was so overlaid with selfishness that she herself hardly knew that it existed, and she had a conscience, though she made but little use of it.
And now, as she sat alone in her snug room, and ate her comfortable meals, she failed to get the slightest comfort or enjoyment out of any of these things. The faces of the two boys-Frank's gentle smile, Fred's saucy laugh-rose up before her, no matter what she was doing or where she was.
