For Little Folks
The DalzeJls of Daisydown
By CHARLES SCHEUER
(Continued)
How the fresh young voice thrilled
the willful lad through and through!
“Could any lark sing clearer?" asked
Houghton of himself. He was in
real wonder now;, he sat up behind
the screen.
The song ceased; there was a
grumbling comment of fault-finding
from the exacting teacher, and -a.
turning of music leaves. “Try this,”
said the professor, “it is simple and
old, but it carries the expression j
you want.
Old, indeed; it was a lullaby that
famous lips have sung; but to
Houghton it only brought the
memory of his mother’s voice singing
' by his bedside the self-same melody
for the last time. The hot tears
gushed from his eyes, big boy as he
was; and the last remnant of his
wearisome pride faded out of his
heart. An hour later, when Molly
sat alone by the piano, Houghton
came to her with his hands full of
music.
"It was my mother’s,” he said
simply; “she died when I was ten
years old. Will you sing some of
these?”
The hazel eyes looked for a moment
into the black ones with the earnest
ness of real sympathy, and then
without a word she complied.
When Ranald and Phil came back
from Daisydo\Wi, the contralto and
a clear boyish tenor were blending
beautifully from the parlor. Hough
ton’s better self had come back.

PART III.
Peace and harmony now reigned
at Dalzell Hall. The four young
people were inseparable, and for
Houghton geologizing had lost its
charm. Mr. Tripton Dalzell saw
with satisfaction that his boys

were becoming more refined, more
thoughtful. There were long horse
back scampers over the downs,
sailing, fishing and rowing without
end, picnics on Bear Island, daily
plunges in the surf, and evening
“sings" in the long, cool parlor, when
Mr. Tripton Dalzell would listen, in
a retired nook with his hand over his
eyes, to the fresh young voices. '
Neither was the ' two weeks’
yachting trip left out for the three
lads. They all went, though Ranald
heroically offered to stay at home
with Molly, a sacrifice which she
with equal heroism refused.
“I shall feel very lonesome while
you’re gone," she said, “but never
mind; I shall ride and practice, and
the time will soon pass. I wouldn’t
have you miss the trip for anything.”
So Miss Peabody was brought up
from Daisydown to sleep with Mrs.
Merriam, and Peter removed from
his stable chamber to a room near
the kitchen, because of the lone
someness of the big house; for Mr.
Tripton Dalzell was to accompany
his boys. And off they went.
Breakfast is late at Dalzell Hall
on the morning of their rfeturn,
about two weeks later. It is full
half-past nine when they rise from
table—all but Mr. Tripton Dalzell,
who, after a couple of hours’ sleep in
a chair, has taken an early train foi
town and business.
“Now, what shall we do?” says
Molly. ) '
"Go fox-hunting," answers Ranald.
“Peter was telling me just now of a
fox that Teddy Capen saw on the
hills beyond the ledges. Let’s take
Prince and Poppy find hunt him up.”
“We're not in England, my fine
fellow, where the lords and ladies
ride straight over everybody’s land,”
objects Phil, while Houghton laughs.
“But maybe we’ll have some fun
out of it. It’s a nice cool day, and
I'm in for the hunt, if the rest are.”
