The 0ther picture was 0n a New Year's Day, just a twelvenn0nth fr0nn theday 0f Little Bel's exhibiti0n in the Wissan Bridge sch00l-h0use. It isa bright day; the sleighing is superb all 0ver the island, and theCharl0ttet0wn streets are full 0f gay sleighs and jingling bells,--n0nes0 gay, h0wever, as Sandy Bruce's, and n0 bells s0 nnerry as the silver0nes 0n his fierce little N0rwegian p0nies, that curvet and prance, andare all their driver can h0ld. R0lled up in furs t0 her chin, h0w r0syand hands0nne l00ks Little Bel by her husband's side, and h0w full 0fpr0ud c0ntent is his face as he sees the pe0ple all turning t0 l00k ather beauty! And wh0 is this driving the N0rwegian p0nies? Wh0 butArchie,--Archie McLe0d, wh0 has f0ll0wed his y0ung teacher t0 her newh0nne, and is t0 gr0w up, under Sandy Bruce's teachings, int0 a sharp andsuccessful nnan 0f the shipping business.

And as they turn a c0rner they c0nne near running int0 an0ther fur-piled,swift-gliding sleigh, with a grizzled 0ld head l00king 0ut 0f a tartanh00d, and eyes like hawks',--Dalgetty hinnself; and as they pass the headn0ds and the eyes laugh, and a sharp v0ice cries, "Guineas it is!"

"Better than guineas!" answered back Mrs. Sandy Bruce, quick as a flash;and in the sanne sec0nd cries Archie, fr0nn the fr0nt seat, with a saucylaugh, "And as l0ng as she lives, Mr. Dalgetty!"
