that slands over our school-houses.\u201d The star starting in Vermont has woved on from one state to another unlil it stands over every one excepl two of the forty-four states in the Union, and sheds its benigy rays upon eighteen millions of children.In the near future all of the youth of our land will come under ivstruction in regard to the nature of narcotics, and thus be fortified against their use befure a vicious appetite is formed.It is believed that when children have thoroughly mastered the truth that \u201cTemperance is the moderate use of those things that are good in their essential nature, bul total ah- stinence fiom all things that are bad in their essential composition,\u201d and have learned to know the bad and its effects upon the mental, moral and physical man, the **ounce of prevention\" will then be put to a larger and and more vital test than in all the ages heretofore, and that it will not fail.That it sball not is the praver of faith woven into the faith of law, running through warp and woof, duu- ble stayed and battened by thoughtful, hopeful men and women.These temperance luns put the future of our Republic into the hands of teachers ag never before.To-morrow the scepter of power passes lo the millions of children whose springs of action are touched to-day for good or for evil, and they become the sources of weukness or of strength in our va- tional as well as our individual life.The seed thought of compulsury education in the line of in the line of temperance dil not originate until about 1880, and there was nol a single temperance education law until 1882.This was pussed down in Vermont, aud was so feeble, probably on account of the stony soil on which the seed fell, that there bad to be a replanting in 1886, or, in other words the law had to be amende.No general opportunity to study the results of this and similar laws passed from time to time in other states, presented itself until the World's Fair was opened.Even then the resullr, 80 far as expressed, were bidden facts, in that dense forest of beautiful, vigorous, mature aud im- mature\u2014but always promising\u2014in- tellectual growth installed in the gallery of the Manufactures Building and spreading out into some of the stale buildings.Results were as hard to find as the historic needie in a haystack, but when found well rewarded the seeker.Only great factg can be noted here.Of lhe thirty- eight states having mandatory laws at that time thirty-five bad school exhibits at Chicago, but as the temperance laws of three of these did not become cffective until after the Fair opeoed they could show no results.Of the remaining thirty-two states, all but seven included the subject of scientific temperance in their exhibitions.Of the work of the twenty-five states which included this subjects, it way be said in general that while some schools indicated a lack of training upon vital points, due probably to the use of inferior texts, the major part of the work described and Mustrated the subject jo such a way as to show careful and accurate training with good books in hand.In a number of cases tbe primary grades, by especially meritorious work, revealed the teachers interest and proficiency in the subject, as well as that of the pupil.Two-thirde of the twenty-five stales had essnys aud examination papers which indicated not only a good knowledge of structure and function, but excellent knowledge of the consequences to tbe human system of the violation of hygienic law in the use of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics, including cigars and cigarettes.The states showing the highest excellence in this particular subject were Pennsylvania, Massa- cbusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Maryland, Iowa, Montana, South Dakola and Washington.Several of the six states not having temperance education laws at that time, exhibited good pupil work on the subject ; this was especially true of New Jersey, which has since then passed such a law ; while five of the states having laws and showing no work in this study, were reported by superintendents of public instruction or other officials to have the subjects taught according to the requirements of the law.From the foregoing it seems only fair to eonclude that the subject le not so unpopular as some have aflirm- ed ; in fact, that it ie not at all unpopular in any general or extender] sense.When teachers are unprepared, and especially when text-books are not good, it is reasonable that there should be an effort to shirk the responsibility of the law, and that teachers and superintendents should make *up-hill\u201d work of it.From the quantity and quality of the exhibit it may safely be concluded that the laws had been enforced about as well as the diflicnlties attending would permit, as in many of the states suflicient time had not elapsed in which to thoroughly introduce the study, instruct the teachers apd select the best books.Temperance cducalion laws were sterile plants of necessity, until the pollen of proper text-books was fully matured and fell into the hands of school boards, teachers and pupils.When the first\u201d law was passed in 1882, there was no.a single bouk 10 the world that met its requirements.At the Fair there was shown a large variety of good, well-graded school texts on this aa on any other subject, and (bey were awarded, as was also the pupil work of the schools.\u2018There is now under process of growth a plan for poet-graduale trainiog\u2014a department of scientific temperance ROCK ISLAND, (STANSTEAD) P.Q., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1895.in a great university, where specialists way prosecute their work in all lines pertaining to the subject\u2014biolo- gv, chemistry, physiology, pathology, and in time law, economics, reform, ete.Such specialists in research and original experiment, would naturally hecome the greatest pedagogical lead- crs in the presentation of scientific temperance truth and a school of an- thority such as does not exist to-day.Sweden, Finland, Canada and parts of Australia have followed the example of the United States and framed similar laws making scientific Lemper- ance instruction mandatory.The mission schools of Turkey, China, Bulgaria, South Africa apd \u201cDanish West Indies are introducing the subject, while philanthropists of England France, Russia, Denmark, New Zea- land and other countries are inquiring and agitating.American text-books lave been translated inlo the language of six different foreign countries and are now in ibeir schools.Books and cuts of illustrations bave been sent by request to still other countries where they have served as the basis of school texts written from a native standpoint.The children of Japan, Sweden and Norway, tbe Sandwich Islands, Siam, Iodia, Finland and China are to-day using physiologies prepared for them in America.So far as laws Lave been enacted in other countries, they are, as are all of their prototypes in the United States, the product of the hand and brain of Mrs.Muy H.Hunt of Boston, superintendent of the department of Scientific Instruction of the W.C.'I.U.In her brain originated the plan of compulsory scientific instruction in the schools, to execute which \u2018called fur tbe ability of a stalesman, à acientist and a philanthropist.\u201d These have made the United States the pioneer of nations in giving his instruction to every boy and girl under its government; and will itis believed, make it the pioneer nation to banish the drink habit from is subjects.The idea of scientific temperance instruction in our schools has crystal lized into law.It has become a part of the government to be executed in due and regular form.Behind the schioul authorities and the schools and the laws sland a favoring public sentiment and the hopes of many reformers.Among these are Uncle Sam's silent partners, 300,000 women, who, without government recognition or relation to the scheme, nevertheless are pledged to a peaceful, faithful warfare of which tbis temperance instruction is an important part.They with otheis calmly await the coming century for the fruition of the method \u2014A fiuition which it is hoped will be nothing less than the cure of 8 great national evil hy an educational preventative.\u2014[ Union Signal.Communication, THE BEEBE PLAIN CHURCH \u2014TO WHOM DOES IT BELONG ?To the Editor of the Stanstead Journal ; Sir,\u2014I bave seen recently an article in the Journal from the pen of Mr.A.W.Lorimer with reference Lo the methods adopted by the Baptists of Beebe Plain to get possession of the Adventist Church there, and I wish to state a few facts with reference to it.First, that church was built by subscription as an Adventist Church\u2014not as a **Union Church.\u201d Some have called it so, but that was pot the fact.\u2018The constitution and articles of agreement, which 1 have seen and heard read, are that the Adventists shall control and have the use of the house whenever aod as long as they wish.Other devomina- tions may arrange Lo use it wheo the adventists do not want it, through the trustees, by special agreement, but never for more than one year at a time.The arrangement must be by special agreement, but never s0 as to deprive the Adventists of the use of it whenever they want it.This the Methodists undsrstood when they occupied it before they built their first house.\u2018The Baptists took possession of the house withou! any agreement, and when Mr.Harry House, before he died, raised money to paint and shingle the huuse, he told me that the Baptists would do nothing towards defraying the expenses thereof.Now it seems they want to get and claim possession of it.It is the old story of the elephant first getling his trunk into the tent, and then walkine in himself.The Baptist people know how it has been.When I was pastor of the Adventist Chuyeh there I had always the first right to the use of the house and it was recognized.Mr.Lorimer says lat to be honorable they asked pew owners Lo sign over to the Baptists.But that does not signify, they had no legal sight to do it.Suppose a plant is built and a company incorporated to manufacture whips, and some of the corporators should sign over their shoice to somebody to manufacture shoes, would the fact that they did change the status without legul process and repeal make a new corporation law?Guess not.\u2018The Baptists could not ussess the pew holders any way.The trustees might do it, but repair as much as they liked the Baptists could not assess anybody.The SI pewholders out of 43, therefore, who signed over to the Baptists did it without value in the transaction.1 would like to ask Mr.Lorimer if Mr.Spear of Minneapolis.one of the largest pew holders in the house, signed over to the Baptiste?Guess not.Did M.D.Spear sign over?Do tho trustees consent to euch a change?Guess not.Let tbe Bap- tista, therefore, take into consideration the statement that I, in all kind- neas, have made and use the house by the permission of the trustees, and not try to coatrol it.Will say in closing that I appoint to preach in the house by arrange- ment with the trustees on the 22nd, at 10.30 a.m.and 2 30 p.m.if not more, which will be arranged then.With kind regards to all, I am Yours truly, Levi C.McKinstry.Mouthing Jingoism.From Harper's Weekly.There is nothing that move effectively promotes righteousness than a timely outburst of exaggerated and grotesque sin.Such an outburst will arouse n shiftless community wore quickiv than a hundred sensible sermons directed to the general proposition that lo be bad is wrong and to be good ie right.\u2018The lazy-mind- ed who may have been drifting slowly towards piracy, for example, are likely to be thoroughly avoured to the Lorror of their position, and the imminent peril of their souls by the news of a shocking wurder on the high seas.This country has heen speeding along with a jingo wind, until foreigners have begun 10 hail us and ask our destination.It will probably seem strange to sober-minded citizens who take the jingoes at their worth, and understand that loud words do not mean fight any more than fine words butter parsnips, that a good many foreigners are taking our jin- goes seriously.They are asking if we really mean (o recoguize the Cuban insurgents as belligerents, and if we really mean to go to war with Great Britain if she inelats on what she claima to be the boundary rights of British Guiana.There bas.heen a great deal of noise in the country of late of which no sensible American can be proud.This country does pot long to fight Great Britain or any other power.Not only bas it no cause for a war with her, but there is nothing in the world\u2019s current history that indicates that we are likely to have a war with ber, It is true that her colonies on this continent are often uncomfortable neighbors, and that the imperial government does vot treat us well when it sustains the offensive acts of irresponsible colonies, but no cause of war has been given ant none is likely to be.Nervous foreigners who are inclined to expect the Ucited States to burst into the arena of war, or if there is no such arena in operation lo make one for herself, may rest assured that the war spirit lies rather in the mouths than in the hearts of those who do the shouting, and is not present at all ip the hearts or minds of a very large majority of American citizens.Nay, we will go furtber and state that tbe jingoes themselves are not really for war.They are for votes and for increased appropriations for tiie navy, and their noise is entirely for howe consumption.We have in miod the late Mr Blaine, who was the founder of the modern jingo sect, whose humble follower and fur- off worshipper, Henry Cabot Lodge, became after he was convinced by Mr Blaine\u2019s success that personal character is not much of an issue in polities.Mr.Blaine was very spirited when he was a candidate and a campaigner, and those who mistook him for a statesman used to say that he wore a plume, and that he was à \u201cknight.\u201d But when the **knight\u201d bad the responsibility of executive office thrust upon him, the plume turned out to be a white feather.Mr.Blaine was the gentlest dove of the Garfield and Harrison cabinets, aod pothing caused Lim so much trepidaticn as a suggestion that strong and violent language shouli be used toward a foreign power thal possessed more than one iron-clad or thal was pot al the feet of a conquering foe.Most of the other jingoes are like Mr.Blaine, although some bot young heads are in possession of good \u2018men who, In turn, possess stout hearts.But, as a rule, even the jingoes do not want war, Some Clever Children.The children of the town of Clitb- eroe, in England, are not afraid to ask for what they want.According to an item in the Lancashire Daily Post a meeting of the children of Clitheroe was recently held in the market place 10 petition the Town Council to provide them with .pilay-grounde.There was à fair number present.A boy named John Yates presided.It was decided to send the Mayor and Corporation the following memorial : \u201cWe, the children, of Clitheroe, in public meeting assembled, beg to lay before you our needs in the watter of play-grounds.We have none; if we play at all, we are forced to play in the stieets.Then, by your instruc- tious, we nre liable to be pouaced upon by the police and prosecuted.Such a state of things, we venture to suggest, is very unfair lo us, and seeing that you are elected to your positions by our fathers and wotbers, and as we ave sure they would not object to paying a little extra in taxes for our benefit\u2014we are perfectly aware that to provide playgrounds would incur expensc\u2014we beg of vou to take this matter into your ecrious consid: eration.and do honor to yourselves by recognizing our needs and provid- wg us with play-grounds.\u201d It would seem as if it ought to prove very dificult to the autborities to refuse to yield lo so reasonable and respectfully framed a request as this.Certainly the future of the town of Clitheroe should be an interesting one, seeing what style of citizens itis likely to have when these brave little boys and girls grow up and \u2018run things\" to suit themselves.\u2014 [Har per's Young People.ee a ene Firat boy\u2014I'm smaller than you.Second boy \u2014No, you're not.Third boy\u2014What's the matter with you fellows?I's

used to take it for granted that the real {nterests of life were such ae belonged to getting on in it, to making or saving money, to rear: ing families of children, to preserving the health, to obtaining an education, to experiencing religion.But I think that either we have greatly changed, and no longer care for things that once vitally interested us, or else that we were in an illusion as to the facte in the past, and were vitally interested only in the things that did not concern us.It bas long been voted how the affairs of others attack us; and the innate altruism of the wind will account for much that is contradictory in our attitude towarde things that are no one\u2019s affairs in particular.Here the well-known position ie reserved, and what is nobody's business ie everybody's business.Of course, there is nothing in the world that ie not somebody's business, but there are certain things tbat involve 80 very few people compared with the vast number of people who involve themselves in them that hey way very well be classed as nobody's bus- iness.Some of these, in their hold upon the wilnees may be accounted for as human «vents.But is a fool.ball game one of these?Is a boat.race oue of them?Why should the elevator-boy be excited about such things, and wish to tell ice which side has woo?He is on duty all day, and has much less chance to see tbem than the man in the woon has.I myself can in the nature of things care nothing at all about a buat-race between the two great universities, but I have suffered several defeats of Harvard with 8 shame and grief which I should not like to have Yale men know, and I have followed the course of the rival crews ina tumult of feeling which bo affaire of my own his ever aroused io me.Wiy do such multitudes of people gather in front of the newspaper office when they are flushing the vote on election night in figuris of fire?Ninely-nive-bundredths of the spectators cannot possibly gain or lose anything by the result.They will be neither richer or poorer, better nor worse, wiser nor sillier, when all is over.Why do we crowd and jostle ove apolber for a glimpse of some celebrity who could do none of us any good, if he could miraculously become aware of us, and wished to do it?Why are whole communities, nations, civilizations, convulsed from lime to time, about things that never come to anybody's business or bosom ?It is well enough to say that we abandon ourselves in most cases oul of curiosity ; but I think there is a deeper reason than this.We give ouraclves to them because they take us out of ourselves, and because the real interests of life are for each one of ug the things that do not personally concern us.Half-Price.From Hurper's Round Table.It is very difficult even for a dealer in cheap clothing to get the better ot Pat, as the following story, told by a London journal, well illustrates.Pal was a witty Irishman, who had just arrived in Londun from the Emerald Isle.He was aimlessly wandering ahout the town, when he perceived n suit of clothes at a shop door in- scrihed : \u2018\u201cThis superior suit For half- price.\u201d So in Pat walked and inquired the price.**Just sixteen shillings, sir,\u201d replied the shopman.**Begorra, that's chape enough!\u201d said Pat.I'll take it.\u201d When the parcel was tied up, he putit under hig arm, and laying eight shillings on the counter, was going out the door, when the shopkeeper intercepted him, and demanded another eight Shillings.- **Didn\u2019t you say, you spalpeen, that the price of the ruil was sixteen shillings, and shure haven't I given you the half of it?And by this and by that, I won't give up my bargain!\u201d A scuflle then eosued, and Pat was taken to the police court, where be pleaded his cause so ably that the magistrate dismissed the complaint, and advertised the tailor never again to ticket his goods with \u2018Half- price I\u201d The Girl who Comes to Earn a Living in New York.From Harper's Round Table.The wardrobe needed by a girl who in New York for woik instead of play is very simple, and not al all expensive.The serge or cloth tailor gowos, | of a skirt and coat, has grown to be a8 much a uniform of the well dressed business woman as (be simple regulation morning suil is that of the buei- ness mun.These can be bad at prices ranging from $12 to §30, ready made in big shops, or can be ordered from a tailor for about $35 or $40.The latter is the more advisable purchase, as the material is so good and the cut so recent that à serge gowa.if of medium weighi, can be worn summer and winter for two years.An u.ddition of a heavy outer coat or cape makes such a costume snfli- ciently warm for any weather one is exposed to in New York, and by leaving off the coat and wearing the skirt with the bodice the hotest weather of summer can be endured.If added, lo this, one possesses a pretty silk costume, with oue high neck and one low neck bodice, one is provided lo meet ali social as well as work-a-day demands upon one's wardrobe.In New York one either wears street dress and a bonnet, or else full dress.A demitoilet is not necessary except when

repeated and insisted on that we have almost come to helleve it ourselves.The fact that it is vot true, either in general proposition or in detail, hae not sufficed to offset the weight of authority, which is on the side of the accusers, The charge has gone, so tered a plea of guilty and thrown ourselves op the mercy of the court, if pause and consider.These experiences, briefly stated, are, first, that the nation which is most urgent in reproaching us as money-worshippers has recently made itself most consapicuous in the devoutness of its worship of the American dollar; and second, that

Stanstead Journal, \u2014 eran THURSDAY.DECEMBER 19, 1895.THE JOURNAL COMPLETES ITS FIFTIETH VOLUME.\u2018The iseue of December 19th, 1895, completes fifty vears of the publication of the JourNaL, under the management of the present proprietor and editor.The history of the JOURNAL is vir- tuslly that of the country in which it is published.When it was started in 1845, the provinces of Ontario and Quebec were known as Upper and Lower Canada, and both were recovering from the effects of the Rebel- lov of 1837-8.There was still some feeling of animosity belween those who bad taken an active part as revolutionists and those who had stood for the flag of England.Fortunately, under the wise policy of thoere sent out to govern the country, the irritation subsided aod harmony returned.The union of the two Provinces (united Canada) followed and continued until Confederation took place, uniting all the Provinces under one head, resulting in an united country from the Atlantie to the Pacific\u2014an immense extent of territory, the greater part of which is fertile and productive, rich ip forests, fisheries, mines, and agricultural products.With Confederation came the adoption of a Parliament for the whole Dominion, with a Governor-General representing the Crown of Great Britain, and Canadn became & self- governing country in effect, the people ruling through their represcnta- Lives in the Commons and Senate.As in the United States each state bae a government, so in Canada each provioce has a legislature, with two houses and a Lievtenant-Governor, and the right of suffrage is nearly universal.So much for progress po- tically during the past fifty years.Financially, the country has also been progressive.Agriculture, commerce, manufacturing have all progressed with the growth of the country.Educational institutions have kept up with the growth and improvements in material mutiers, When the JOURNAL was llret puh- lished in 1845 there was but one other newspaper in the District of Saint Francis.the Sherbrooke Gazette, published by Joseph Walton.There are now a dozen or so, English and French, and a considerable circulation of metropolitan papers.Several of the large towns have good circula- tibg libraries, and the people rank well in intelligence with any \u2018other section in tbe world, \u2018The JourNAL commenced without capital behind it, and has held its own in this respect remarkably well, \u2018The change of prices from $1.50 to $1.00 was a serious blow to the country press, and was uncalled for al the time it went into effect.The Government conferred a boon on both publiehers and subscribers by removing poslage from newspapers.\u2018The most annoying feature conncet- ed with the newspaper business (o- day is tbe dificulty of contracting wilh newspaper advertising agencies, a8 some of them want the cream in tbe business, leaving the blue milk for the printer.There are some however, disposed to give the publisher a fair margin for his space and labor.We return thanks to many friends who have staunchly stood by us for many years, and especially to those who have kindly recommended to their friends the JOURNAL, ard Lave materially aided us by furnishing local items from their neighborhoods.To these and all our subscribers and corresponrlents, far and near we return our thanks.The JOURNAL still does business at the old stand and we hope will continue to do so for fifty years to come.Col.E.G.Prior, M.P., member for Victoria City, B.C., has accepted a portfolio in the Otlawa Ministry.His position has not yet been made

the colonies.His object is to ascertain the amount of trade of the different colonies with Great Britain by the sale of their own commodities and the purchase of manufactures from Great Britain.And to tbat end he has sent questions from one to eight to be answered by the representatives of the Imperial Government acting as Governors of Colonics.The North Ontario bye-election beld on \u2018Thursday

Isn't it almost time to turn back?\u201d \u2018*And I am afraid yoa will never die of goodness, Lesley,\u201d he said.\u201cWon't you go home this way?\u201d he added dis- ingenuonsly.\u2018\u2018It's much prettier, and it must be nearly lunchtime now.\" \u201cNo, I won\u2019t,\"\u201d\u201d said Lesley, turning the mare and throwing him a bowilder- ing smile over her shoulder that, for the first time, convinced him she was u born flirt.\u2018I haven't said goodby to Mr.Yelver- ton or thanked him for the troat I've bad on this beauty,\u2019\u2019 and sho whispered something ju the beauty's eur that made her dance sidelong und arch her neck and play off ns many tricks as a belle at her first ball, Ronny said nothing, adapting his horse's pace to Misa Coquette\u2019s, till the pair, tired of caper, condescended to range themselvos sedately by his sido, and the first remark, us is usual when a woman is entirely in the wrong, came from Lesley.\u2018I'm glad Bob is pot as cousin,\u2019 she said.\u201cWhy?\u201d \u2018\u2018He might think himsolf privileged to be\u2014horrid 1\" \u2018I think Mr.Bob has got his work cut out for him,\u2019 suid Ronny, who looked so disturbed, so altogether unlike his usual careless self, that Cynthia, in a deliciously cool, blue cambric gown, who saw them coming, told herself that the blow had fallen at last, and this girl, who was turning all the men\u2019s beads, wan turning his also.\u2019 *\u2018Goodby, Mr.Yelverton! Thank you 80 much for the treat you have given me!\u2019 she heard Lesley say in that spontaneous, sincere way natural to her, and then Ronny's volee, inquiring, *\u2018Could you look me up at the Rag after lunch, Yelverton?\" Then, without waiting for an answer, he galloped off after Lesloy, who bad, a8 was generally admitted among tbe left behinds, \u2018\u2018taken the cake'' in all round cheek that morning.CHAPTER VL \u201cRonny,\u201d said Lesley when be joined her (and it struck him that this was the flrat time she had thus addrussed him), *\u2018will\u2014will she be very angry, do you think?The mare just danced off with me when I was trying her paces, and I didn't think\u2014no more did she!\" Sbe looked then ns she had done on her arrival, apprehensive and proud and shy, all in one, aud Ronny 's heart smote him.She had no mother, aud à mother is able to teach her daughter so much and keep from her so muc} that she may not learn, and the girl had been thrown entirely among men; so much was apparent in her supremo mastery of their little ways and the lightness of her hand with them.Perhaps, if she had been constantly with nice women\u2014 But bere he stopped, knowing that, in that case, the originality, the freshness of her mind would bave been lost, and to Ronny originality of character was the one precious mental good on earth.\u2018It is a pity,\u2019 he begun, then paused again.Really, for such a remarkably cool young man, Ronny was getting himself into a good many holes that morning.\u2018\u2018Would you like to have the mare, Lesley?\u2019 he said in so reasonable aud kind a voice that tonrs started into her proud eyes.\u2018\u2018She isn't up to Yel- verton's weight, I know, and he might sell her\u2014to please you,'' honddod, with a smile that made his glance pure sunshine.**Oh, Ronny!\u2019 exclaimed the girl, torning upon him a little face whose delicious glow of color dazzled his eyes.\u2018How lovely that would be! I'll writo home today and ask dad to buy her for me!\u201d \u2018But 1 want her for myself,\u201d said Ronuy\u2014Losloey's face fell\u2014telling the Jie without winking, \u201c\u2018and meanwhile I'll lend her to you.But, of course, I don't know if Yelverton will part with her till I've asked him.\" Lesley leaned over and stroked Coquette's glorious neck, and when Lesley confidently informed hor that she was much too beautiful to be ridden by a rude, cross, heavy man Ronny smiled away the last remnants of his §11 humor, and they arrived at Park lane in the best of spirits, a good deal to Lady Ap- puldurcombe's wrath, as she watched ! the return of the prodigal (for once, a female\u2014why are most flagitious examples and emblems of rascaldom invari-> ably of the masculine gender in grammar?) from the balcony.Since Ronny bad rushed in to an- sounce the full measure of Lesley's de- liquencies and rnshed out ngain to got a horse saddled to follow her his mother had been enduring not one but nearly four shocking quarters of an hour, and now, culprit and envoy came home laughing, on the best of terms evidently with ench other! To an outsider it all looked so entire: ly right, the two young aristocrats, with the groom bebind them, whose face wore that air of impenetrable calm po- culiar to all well bred servants and only faintly to be imitated by their masters, though inside Carleton was one broad grin and wished the young lady well out of the \u2018\u2019row.\u2019\u2019 Ronny begged the girl off all he could.Still for a nasty flve minutes Lesley's youth suffered eclipse and she winced under her aunt's icy reproof like & child who, not knowing the meaning of blows, suddenly finds them showered apon him by a hand that he trusted.She made no defense.She shed no tears, and Ronny.admired her pluck heartily as she sat at table making n pretepse of eating what was put before oa Swen hér, Lier proud lfttle héad held as hign ns ever, the only scrap of color in her face being her blue eyes.Perhaps a little ache of jealousy in the mother\u2019s heart helped to harden it against the girl, for was not Ronny hers, her very own boy, who had never left her like hex other children, and now Was she to lose all his time and company becanse Mulinconrt bad foisted on her a femule scamp whose only accomplishment seemed to lie in getting woe length of every man's foot that op- proached her?\u2018Auntie,\u2019 said Lesley very quietly when the servants had withdrawn, am going to write to father and ask bim to let me go home.I don\u2019t want to\u2014 disgrace you any more,\u2019 Her voice was quite steady, and her eyes as kho looked at her aunt were just as indomitable in their sheer, downright, dogged British pluck as Rouny's own at times, Indeed for a moment a strong likeness flashed out between the cousing and Lady Appuldurcombe saw it, colored, wavered and suddenly caved fn.She wus of a different order from Ronny and Lesley and consequently much more eusy to manage, a fact of which her servants took liberal advantage.\u2018+ Huve we buen so inhospitable, then?\u2019 said the poor lady and sank into tears behind her dinner napkin, which in her flurry she mistook for her pocket baud- kerchief.But Lesley jumped up so quickly as to upset her chair, and crying out **No, nn, no!\" threw her warm arms round her aunt's neck.\u2018\u2018It isn't you\u2014i is I\u2014who have been mad and rude and wicked nnd get into muddles wherever I go!\u201d Ronny softly closed the door on them, and as he did 80 hourd his mother say plaintively : \u201cMy dear, if only people did not know you us Ludy Appuldurcombe's niecel\u201d\" Wihureupon he smiled, though there had been something suspiciously like moisture in his eyes just now, Then he went round to the Rag, where he found Yelverton, looking mie- erable, \u2018I'm awfully sorry, Kilmurray,'\u2019 said that gentleman, with n good deal of color in his face.\u2018\u201cl'ho fact is, the mare started of her own accord, and what could 1 do but follow?I ought to have staid bohind, I suppose, but I felt an- easy nt Miss Malincourt's going into the park alone.I told the groom to come on as sharp as possible, and he did.\u201d Rouny nodded; he looked quite his usual, good tempered self again, to Yel- verton's intense relief.\u201cI suppose you wouldu't part with the mare?\" he snid tentatively.Yolverton's tace tell, nnd he hesitated.The mare was the upple of his eye, and only yestorday ho would have refused a kingdom for her.Then he thought of how Lesley and sho had looked together; of the girl's swnying figure, as, benonth the trees, she tulked alternately to her admirers und Coquette, but he cleared his throat as he said: \"She's roully not up to my weight, you know, and { shun't bunt this winter.Off to ludiu, with some other fellows, shooting big game.I'll take n hundred for her, if you really fancy hor.! \u2019 But hoe spoke heavily, und Ronny, as men will understand men, thoroughly undorstood him.After all, what was a girl\u2019s caprice to come between a man and that trusty friend, his horse?Lesley must make shift to do without her.\u201d\u2019 \u201cThat's unwise, Yelverton,'' said Ronny.\u2018*She is worth at least 800 guineas, and I couldn't take her as a gift.Wo'll guy no more about it.\u2018\u2018And Iany it is not a gift,\" said Yel- verton stubbornly.\u2018I\u2019m pretty sure she's a bit groggy in that off leg.Did you notice?And you will really confer n personal favor on me by buying her.Stony broke, you know,\u2019 ho mumbled.\u201c\u2018Money un object just now.\u2019 For half a minute the two looked straight into each other's eyes.Then Rouny said kindly: \u201cSo hard hit, old man?Woll, then, if you'll tuko a couple of hundred, you'll lay me under uo end of an obligation and make Miss Malincourt supremely happy.\" Then ensued a somewhat protracted and animated wrangle, but the end of it all was that Miss Coquette ate her corn in Ronny Kilmurray's stables that night; also several pieces of sugar, Lesley fell asleep happy, while Lady Appuldurcombe, waking frequently, congratulated herself on a scandal having been neatly nipped in the bud by Ronny's admirable generalship.And to all whom it might concern was made known in the park next morn- {ug that Ronny Kilmurray had bought Yelverton's famous mare for his cousin, Miss Malincourt, who liked her paces, while report added that Yelverton would not have parted with her under any consideration but that he was head over ears in love with tho Malincourt.He certainly did wear the smartest waistcoats and own the best seat in the saddle in town.CHAPTER VIL \u2018Heaven, '\u2019 said Lady Appuldurcombe to her old crony, Lady do Salis, *\u2018must certainly be un place where there are no relations!\" And she glanced acroes to where, by the open bow window, Lesley, quite out of earshot, was drinking tea with Cynthia and talking with keenest interest to her companion, who on her side was smiling nnd without the weary air that usually distinguished her.-\u2018\u2018Who is she going to marry?\" said Lady de Salis, putting up her piuco nez to look at tho pair.** Yelverton seoms n little in advance of the rest.But the noble army of lovers swells daily.\" \u201cI don't know,\u2019 said Lady Appul- durcombe.\u2018\u2018IwishIdid.It isn*t'\u2018How can ye gang lassie?\u2019 with her, It's \u2018Where will ye gang, lassie?\u2019 \u2014yon see 1 can't help occnsionally dropping into Scotoh\u2014and where she chooses to gang, she will gang, and there's an end of it.\u2019 \u201cConsole yourself,\" said Lady de En- lis, *\u2018Thero are only three weeks more of the season.And where is Rouny today\u2019 she added, with an effort, ho being the one subject who was never discussed en plein cœur between the two friends, \u2018\u2018\u2019Oh, horses, ns usnal.He can\u2019t keop ont of the saddle, and I believe is going to ride some trumpery race at Sandown next week.He and Lesley are decidedly blood relations in one particular\u2014they both prefor horses to humans, It's vory trying for him that there are no race meetings now worth mentioning, nothing before Donenster,\u2019\u2019 added his mother, who wonld cheertnlly have geen the pensons advanced or put back to please him, \u201cThe cousins seem to bo great friends,\" said Lady de Salis, with something peculiar in her tone.*'I seldom see one without the other nowadays,\u2019 \u2018Ronny is more nt howe than usual certainly,\u2019 said Lady Appuldurcombe, hastily, *\u2018but that is only to help me look after her, becauso neither of us knows what she will do next! After her boxing that man's ears at Berkshire House the other night''\u2014 \u201cHe is & nasty man!\" said Lady de Balis, with a gesture and look of disgust.\u2018All the other women, including Cynthia, had longed to do it, but they had not Lesley's courage.A few hundred girls like her would work n wholesome reformation in the men\u2019s manners, and, unconventional as she ia, from head to foot and in every word and action she is a thoroughbred, like all your family, Jane,\u2019\u2019 she added, smiling.**A buck,\u2019 Lesley wis saying meditatively; \u2018\u2018wodldn\u2019t it be nice to bave an admirer who was à young buck of the old school, white sutin continuations, seals and embroidered waistcoat of the briefest, a rolled stock and a gor- goous coat, like the lovers in Marcus Stone's pictures?\u2019 \u2018They would usurp our privileges,\u2019\u2019 said Cynthia, whose colduess was fast melting before Lesley's friendliness, \u2018\u2018and think how it would dock a woman's clothes if two sumptuous wardrobes had to be provided!\u201d \u2018\u2018Well, the men are dreadfully monotonous, \u2018\u2019 gaîd Lesley, with a dissatis- fled afr.\u2018If they wonld only weur red ties or something to prevent one's imis- taking them for the waiters! And often the waiters look so much more like gentlemen than the real ones do! It's a treat to see à man in his racing colors.Are you going to see Ronny ride at San- down?\" she added, looking away from Cynthia, who was beautiful today in a tawny pink muslin gown that made one think of a softly glowing topaz as one looked at her.*\u2018 Does he ride?\" Cynthia's voice was steady, but into her Dark eyes\u2019 splendor, Whero the warm light loves to dwoll, came tho look that only Rouny Kilmur- ray out of all men living had been able to bring there and bid stay.\u201cYes.Isn't it a pity he is 80 spoiled?Because he is the first gentleman rider in England, und because be just did his duty, it seoms to me he is in danger of becoming a very solfish, disagroeable young man indeed.\u201d \u2018It isn\u2019t either of those things, \u2019\u2019 said Cyuthia, coloring and looking out at the park.'\u2018It is because he is such a splendid fellow all round.He is the very type of the best wort of Englishman,\u2019 \u2018\u2018He is just an extremely clean looking, obstinate, high principled, masterful Briton,\u2019\u2019 said Lesley, nodding, \u2018and if some woman who didn\u2019t care a button for him licked him into shape he might make à fairly decent husband to some other woman some day, but his mother and sisters have spoiled him, and he'll want no end of discipline first.Lesley waggod her head with an air of the deepest conviction, und Cynthia's spirits flew up as she aid, laughing: \u2018You know a great deal for 18, Miss Malincourt.\u201cI'm 20.Auntie was a good bit out in my age, but it isn\u2019t necessary for mo to disabuse her mind of the error.It's the country lifo I've led.And to do whatever you like, and how you like, and have no one to hamper or oppose you in any of your whims, is the finest recipe for bloom and good temper imaginable.\u201d Cynthia sighed.\u2018We can't ull let ourselves go,\u2019 she said.\u2018\u2018Some people have got to have self control, and onee they've thoroughly, learned that lesson,\u2019 sho added in a lower tone, \u2018\u2018thoy have about learned all there is to know.\u2019 \u201cI think I could learn that lesson, too, if I'd got to,'' said Lesley, with something strenuous in her young fuce and voice.\u201c\u2018And I suppose I shall have to some day, for all the women must, and the men, never!\u201d \u2018' Ronny has learned it,\u2019 said Cynthia.And Lesley longed to shake this glorious cronture whom love had humbled to the point of making herself cheap.\u2018And is it wise to tel} him so?\u2019 she said.\u2018You must keep a man hungry\u2014 hungry\u2014or he will never do this best, or love you his best-\u2014nevar! A man\u2019s self control lasts just so long as ho does not want a thing.He clamors and cries for it like à child when once hiscye has coveted it.\u2019 \u201cHow yon hate men!\" said Cynthia, under her breath, \u201cIdo.WheneverI find a bad woman, I say, \u2018A bad man has passed by there! Lady Cranstoun says I am mad on that point, and they are all so good to me.But it isn't me; it's my little face! When it gets broad and middle aged, men's eyes will look past it, with their life love seeking for some delicate morsel to satisfy their pleasure!\u201d \u201cBut some men will love you for your heart\u2014yourself l\u201d\u2019 cried out Cyn- thin, to whom this country girl wus a revelation, \u2018\u2018And you nlways look so boundlessly, intoxicatingly happy!\u201d \u2018Yes, I am happy, But I go much among the poor at Malincourt.Isee life a8 it is, and perhaps for good, perhaps for ill\u2014who knows?\u2014I have been tho close companion for years of a woman who knows the world and turns it inside out for me like a glove, with every seam showing.So I have youth and no illusions.\u2018And, thus panoplied, your friend has let you forth as a sconrge on mankind,\u2019 said Cynthia, who had beard of Lesley 's oxploits in the country.\u2018\u2019And yet\u2014I am sorry!\" \u2018Don\u2019t be!\u201d\u2019 cried Lesley earnestly.\u201cI feel\u2014I know-\u2014I shall come out all right in the end.Would you send a soldier unprepared into battle?And I find teaching invaluable now that dad has launched me on my relations in town.\u2019 They were so engrossed in each other that they did not hear the door open or see Ronny, who stopped short at sight of Ludy de Salis.But retreat was impossible, and having received that lady's cool salutations he advanced to the bal cony, where a white and a topaz colored back just then presented themselves for his inspection.They looked friendly, intimate even, those two girlish bucks, and he survey- od ono of them with that forocity, displayed only to reptiles and the woman tvho has given him a love he does not want, that a strong man feels and dis- playa to his inward shame and astonishment on occasions.Tho weak man is flattered; he sometimes dallies with the sappliant and ro- wards the woman by becoming her tyrant.But the virile, selfish, masterful man will stoop to pick up no handkerchief dropped to him; he will throw his own wheresoever and howsoever he just pleases, and usually it is picked up by the right woman.It was Lesley who turned, feeling some one near her, and exclaimed tartly, \u2018\u201c\u201cWhy didn't you speak?\" and looking so decidedly sorry to see him that Ronny felt it a rolief to turn to Cynthia, who, for once, showed no nnduo joy nt his approach, though under tho broad, black lace hat her face was full of wost delicate color, \u201cWe were nbusing men,\" said Lesley calmly.\u2018Did you-\u2014hear us?\u201d \u201cYet, though you detest, you cannot leave us alone,\u2019 said Ronny lightly.\u201cWe had exhausted chiffons, and when every other subject had been tulk- ed out the least interesting is bound to They looked friendly.have its day,\u201d said Lesley, frowning.\u201cThe fact is, the old ludies\u2014I beg your pardon, Ronny '\u2014 won't leave each other, and Charville has worn out his two young gentlemen in sending up cups of tea! But why this honor?I thought you were capering before a glass in Bond street, trying on your new jacket \u2014and deciding that blue became yon'\u2019\u2014 Ronny looked black.Lesley wus making herself just as odious as she knew how\u2014and Cyuthia, shy and gentle, actually shone in comparisen with her at that moment.Ho turned to Cynthia wow, asking some question about one of her brothers, and Lesley\u2019s eyes filled with satisfled miechief as she luoked on\u2014really, Cynthia was cupuble of being taught, after alll Warmly, loyally, with that loyalty to her own sex that is rare in woman, Lesley had espunsed Cynthia's cause, and nothing would have given her greater pleasuro than to see Ronny brought to his knees and left lamenting there by the girl whose gift he bad scorned.\u201cMr.Yelverton!\u201d announced Char- ville, who always looked like a hand- e+ bishop in disguise, and Cynthia b ur aware that while actually stand.neg oa the flesh on the balcony beside Jer Ronny's spirit wns really in the ruom behind them, straining his ears to catch every word Roger Yelverton said and Lesloy auswered.CHAPTER VIII Bighing, dying, lunguishing toward one mun, as flowers ut daybreak lean toward the sun, un audience, composed mainly of women, sut in one of the big drawing rooms of a house in Lancaster Gato and drank in tho notes of his voice ns he sang ove of his own songs, which was of love, us indeed most of his songs were, The man renlly was a thoroughly good follow, nu splendid son, a stanch friend and a born musician, but the crowd of women, not of the first order, who prostrated themselves before him had begot in bim a profound contempt for the whole sex, that showed in every line of his face as his nrrogant eyes, with that knack of rolling upward which made most men Jong to kick him, wandered over the silly, fluttering, adoring crowd gproad out before him.\u2018It makes one's blood boil! Look at that girl, Her very hairpins aro falling out!\u201d enid Lesley in a fierce aside to Roger Yelverton, whose black cont was the only one in the row of chairs where they sat.\u2018\u2018Such a man could not be if woman had not made him what ho is! Yet there's something warm, human, magnetic about him, *\u2019 She spoke slowly, studying the singer very intently.\u2018And if he got his hair cut and didn\u2019t roll up his eyes\u2018 \u2014 Sho paused, then said, looking roully tragie, \u2018\u2018After all, I do believe there is a class of women who like being\u2014kicked !* \u201cMy dear!\u201d said Lady Appuldnr- couibe, who, on her cther side, had caught the words and looked alarmed, for Lesley hud Loon so good the last few days that a burst out in the wrong direction seemed fo be inevitable.\u201cThey're very rummy,\u2019\u2019 said Yelver- ton, shuking his smooth, fair head.\u2018Something in aman catches their vanity, or their fancy, or tasto, and off they go\u2014yon can't stop \u2019em! But a man must give out somehow that he doesn\u2019t mind being ndored, like this follow, just as another mun, without saying a word, refusos, like Ronny, now, for example.Where would he be if, with all-his fame, he\u2014cr\u2014or'\u2019\u2014 \u2018Encouraged us?\u2019 said Lesley dryly.\u2018But Ronuy is not a lovable person.He has not large\u2019\u2019\u2014she extended her hands in on sweep \u2014 \u2018ull entrancing, grand ways.He does not roll his oyes or make & point of saying, \u2018I love you,\u2019 instead of \u2018How do you do?\u2019\u2019\u2019 She stopped to laugh.\u2018\u2018Heis one of your concentrated, deadly reticent, Brand's ossence sort of person, is Runny!\u201d \u201cAU the better for tbe woman he marries,\u2019\u2019 said Roger manfully, for he carried a vory roro heart about with him in those days, only occasionally hoaled over by such a happy position as he found himself in just now.\u2018When a man like that does fall in love\u2019'\u2014 \u2018Ah, when?\u201d mid Lesley gayly.\u201cThat will be when cap and pigskin have vanished off the face of the earth not before! A littlo less than his horso and dearer than his dog, you know!\u201d She spoke discreetly low, for Lady Appuldurcombe was on her other side, though just then in deep conversation with a distant relative, Mra.Fane, Roger Yelverton stole a glance at the girl's unconscious face as sho sat beside him.Ho never could quite make up his mind whether he liked her best in her fresh morning gown of cambric, or her foamy ball gown, or riding Coquette\u2014 his two darlings, as in his heart he called thom\u2014or ns she locked hero, all in whito, with brocaded sleeves of exactly the same color as her wonderful eyes and \u201cfinished\u201d with all those little minauderies of uw young girl's dress that are so grotesque on older women.Her month had fallen into those curves that would have heen petulant with a weaker character, and her round, firm chin eame boldly ont a little in advance of tho tip of her small, straight nose, that had the proudly cut nostrils peculiar to brave, sensitive tem- poraments, \u2018Did yon ever seo such a room?\" sho said, glancing round at the pink satin panels, heavily incarod in gilding, that decorated the walls, and the massive silver gilt coffer and tublos in the window; tho mantel board, also gilt, supporting ormoln candelabra, and more gift monstrosities, \u201cHow thankful we ought to bo that the hostess has not gilt tho cut glass chandeliers!* \u2018Tam afraid of you,\u201d suid Roger, laughing.\u201cDo I not sce Cynthia de Salis ufur off?\" \u201cYen; isn't it horrid?pected to sit together, * \u201cYou are great friends, yon two,\u201d said Roger, with a certain wonder that he fult unable to hide, \u201cYes; I\u2014I'mm educating her, *\u2019 said Lesley, turning a saucy young face round on him.And so she was, though the name of Rouny Kilmurray, save casually, was never even mentioned between them, \u2018\u201cSho's years older than you are!\u201d blurted out Roger, who ofton found it difficult to reconcile Lesley's distracting youth with the extreme agodness of her conversation, \u2018\u201c*Sho is 25, and she has wasted, four whole years of her life and shan't waste any more,\u2019 said Lesley onig- matically, though she often said to Yelverton things she never dreamed of saying to any one clse.Ho was so safe, dopendent, something like Bob, as men often are like one another, much oftener than women aro like women, \u201cDid you seo her snub Rouny yesterday?\" said Lesley in great delight, \u2018\u2018I pever suw a man Jook so astonished in all my life.If only ho had been taken in hand earlier!\" And Lesley sighed as if she Lad been bringing up men in the way they shonld go ever since she was born, \u201cYou're foarfully down on us poor devils,\u201d\u2019 snid Roger, with the air of having discovered something quite original and greatly calculated to mstonish bar We quite ex- [To DE CONTINUED.)
