IN A HUNTING COCNTSI. Sleen beino? entirelv out of the anas. tion, I was early antir, packed my portmanteau and joined Hawks at the breakfast table, he imagining the while that I merely meant to accompany him to the station. On my way ap-stsira to exouse ts.j departure to Georgia I encountered Mrs. Armstrong. She appeared on the lookout for me. "The mistress has getten a sick headache an' does na wish to b? dist orbed," she said. 'But I'm going from home for throe day. s. Mrs. Armstrong Weel. Bor. aa' that's ae news. She tolled me so hersea." Edna had done this she had made the way easy to me, God bless herl "Can I neither ass my wife nor Mils Lynton, then?" "Ha. Ye jurt canna," The carriage was announced, sad we set off. Hawks, aoticinirmjgag, asked an explanation, and I toldaim I intended going as far as 'York, adding, vaguely, that I had heard of ahorse for sale there. I deemed it wisest to make no mention of Leicestershire even to Charlie. On parting company at York his last words were, "I guess you'll not forget the tip I gave you last night, eh, old chappie?" I laughed, said, "All right, Charlie," then set about making inquiries as to how I could best reach Whitmore Park. After considerable delay I obtained the name of the nearest post town, aad for that I took my ticket; but fonnd, on my arrival, there was still a branch line to travel before I coald get any way near my destination. ' It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and almost dark, when, wearied and impatient with the long, slow journey, I alighted at a small wayside station. With the exception of a female who got out of a second or third class,carriage, the rest of the passengers went on. "How far is it to Whitmore Park Mr. Hargreave's place?" I asked of the ticket collector before passingthronghthe turnstile. "Whitmore Park is about three miles off; bat Mr. Hargreave's been dead these two years an' more." "Indeed! Will yon inform me who lives there now?" "Major O'Neil, sir." . "Is he a bunting man?" "He's a master of hounds, sir." "Ah, Mr. Hargrsave used to be. Did the Major keep on the same huntsmen and whips, I wonder?" I asked, with studied carelessness. "Not one on 'em. Major O'Neil brought .his own with him all Irish," he said, with some disdain ""oven to the stable toys." I wish I could have seen the old huntsman, or some man who had been ia Mr. Hargreave's stables," I said, musingly. "That's easily doae, sir," he replied, with animation. "There's a good inn a mile and a half down yonder road kept by Tom Little, the late master's hunisman 'Little Tom' he ased io be called in the old Squire's time, an' he's best known by that name yet. Beg pardon, sir, bat you'd be very comfortable there if you happened to want a bed for the night. He's got good stabling, too." I thanked tho man for his information, and was abont to push on in the direction indicated, whoa I saw him turn to receive a ticket from a female who. hitherto unobserved, had probably overheard our conversation. I looked at her, and there was yet sufficient light to see she was a little woman in a 'large cloak and bonnet; that she wore spectacles, carried a basket of oranges, and leaned on a stick. Then I set off at a swinging pace, and never slackened it until I reached the inn. At the open door stood a small, 1 '.ry man, with a weather-beaten, good-humored face, who looked as though he might have been bom and bred in stables. Mine host, assuredly. I ascertained that I coald be put up for the night, and he at once inquired if I required stabling. No; I had merely come on a voyage of discovery, adding, as insinuatingly as I could; "To speak perfectly frankly, Little, my chief object is to have a chat with yon. I want yon to tell me something about the Major's kennel, end what sport he has been Bhowing. The fact is, I have some thoughts of bringing my hunters next season. That, however, will depend on your report." The rose succeeded. I was at once invited into the best parlor of the inn, and while some supper was being prepared for me, the ex-huntsman and I sst at oposiie sides of the oheerful, blazingfire, oth smoking, and I listening, with wellassumed interest, to such inf ormation as a man anxious to hunt in that conntry might be supposed to want. At last, however, without, I believe, manifesting any undue eagerness, I said: "And now tell me something about the old days. You'd rather speak of them, I fancy. "I'm not so snre I would, sir," he said, shaking his head, while a cloud seemed to fettle on his hitherto cheerful face. "There was that terrible catastrophe, you "And what was that?" "Don't yon know? Didn't you hear of it when it happened? Why, the whole hunting world was ringing with it." "I was out of the hunting world for a time; that may account for my ignorance. I have only taken to it again this season," I explained hurriedly and somewhat lamely. "Tell me the story. Do." He laid his pipe down carefully, and seemed preparing for a long yam. "She was just the handsomest girl you ever saw, was Miss Hargreave, sir, bar none! 'Squire Hargreave had kept hounds ever since coming to the property, and his daughter had been used to the saddle from a baby, hut, when the young

I wont go into particulars of the why and the wherefore how, 1 believe he was in the right frobi what I learnt afteiward, but that's neither here nor there. Anyhow, he get rid of her hunters and made her drive out with her stepmother instead. She had a high spirit, she had, and resented it. ,' 'Tom,' says she to me one day, the end of Decamber of the sesson '78, 'what'll you bet I don't get a mount before this year's out?' 'The master's bad to move, when's mind's made up,' said I. 'I don't mean to ask him, but I'll be out, you'll see, Tom,' says she. And rare enough she "She'd plenty 8f mdney at command, any amount of pluck, and what does shd do but goes and bribeq that sneakiug horsedealer fellow Brown to buy her a horse. He bought her one and they kept it dark. But this didn't come out till afterward, you must know, sir. The meet was at Cowley's; a fox was found in Winlow Willows. A grand old sly boots he proved, and gave us a ring or two before the oatastrophe happened. My mind was occupied only with my work, and I never gave another thought to Miss Hargreave when I saw she didn't show up at the meet. Now this is the story of now it all happened, which I heard from more than one eye-witness, sir. . "The master had ridden his horse at a very large and deep drain, when Hiss Hargreave appeared suddenly, front heaven knows where, riding at a very great puce. She gave A shout of laughter, they say. as she set her horse ttlsO at the place;, close on the master's heels. Too close, for the Squire's horse, though

It's no secret I'm eonildinir to vour keen ing tho whole field vouched for the truth of it Kiss Hargreave, sir, rode on " "Good God! She did not know she could not, I burst out, as a cold, creepy sensation almost paralyzed the words upon my lips, "That's fust the worst part of it, sir. I'm afraid, she did." "Imnossiblel cried 1. startins ud in my etoitement. "No woman in' her senses" Bat t was interroptod by the door of the room being quickly opened, and a man putting his head in. "Wanted," he said, making an imSatient sign to Tom Little; and leaving ib door open, he disappeaied. Tom got up to go -"One moment," I cried. "Close that door and finish your tale." "Beg pardon, bnt it seems to have rather affected you sir. Yon don't happen to be" h paused and looked at mo uneasily "in any way related I was about to ask?" "Go on. For Godls sake, go on!" "Party won't wait. Wants you thjs instant," said the man, this time grinning, as he again put his hsad inside the door. I placed myself between him and "mine host." "My business must be attended to first, sir," said the latter, looking at me curiously. - "If you'll sit down again, I'll finish the story when I come back." He passed me and went out, closing tho door behind him, but not before I had caught sight of a woman standing outside. Though her face was turned away, I recognized her at once as the person I had seen at the station. She had a basket on her arm, and was leaning on a Btick. j CHAPTER XVL MY WITS AND ill PHI END, That I am not endowed with a superabundance ot coolness . and" patience the reader, doubtless, has already discovered; hut also that the position "in which I found myself was a trying one cannot be denied. Barely touching the supper that hid been brought for me, I priced the little room in a fever of impatience until Tom returned. The moment be came I was struck by the change in his expressive face. There was an ominous tiehtenine about the corners of his mouth, and an evident desire to avoid looking at me. Iat down again beside the fire; he also Jropped into the chair be had occupieu uexorv. "Now, sir, I can go on with my story. Bnt, after all, there is not much mora to tell. - Let me see. Where was I?" He spoke with some embarrassment. quite at variance with his manner before he left the room. I was silent. I would not assist him byword or look. That something had occurred to alter his first determination of telling me tho whole truth I felt convinced. Possibly the strong emotion I bail shown was the cause. I would manifest less interest: by this means perhaps I might learn most. lie resumed; "The poor squire was carried home. He only recovered consciousness an hour or so before he died. And what made matters the more painful, you see, sir, was this he knew very well it was that kick from his daughter's horse that had done for him. immediately after the funeral, Mrs. Hargreave and her stepdaughter left the Park: evervthinp; about the place was sold, and I've been told the l.rfi.. want: travalinO on Ilia nnjn... "is that alii1" 1 asxeu. "Well, yes, sir, that's about all." "You had. in point of fact, finished the story before you left the room?" "If there is anything more you would like to know that I can tell you, I'll do so, sir." Clearly the answer was evasive. You said that Miss Hargreave rode on. Would you mind explaining what yon meant more fully?" I inquired. "I said she rode on, and that all the field could testify to it. I suppose the excitement of finding herself on horebaok once more caused her to lose her head. I con give no farther explanation on that point, sir. Is there anything more you'd like to know?" What had come over tho man I knew not, but felt it would be useless topursue the subject. I would try him on another track. "Do you know the name of Gasco'gne?" I asked, abruptly. "Gascoigne?" be repeated, end seemed considering. "No, there's never been any one of that name hereabouts to my knowledge, and I've been in this part over six years now." "Yon never heard of a Dr. Oasooigne, then?" "No, sir." "Who was attending Mr. Hargreave when he died?" "Dr. Wilson, from C s and a great London dootor came down when it was too late." "Where is Dr. Wilson now?- Possibly I could hear of Gascoigne through him." "He's dead, sir." "Did he attend Hiss Hargreave? Yoa see I'm taking you at year word, and asking plenty of questions." "If Miss Hargreave needed a doctor, he would at: end ner, naturally, as he was, yon may say, t'je family or. But the young lady was never ill enough to require medioal attendance. She'd one of the grandest constitutions going." "But uf .or that terrible tragedy, for instance, was she not ill? Did no medioal man attend her on that occasion?" I inquired, vividly recalling to mind what Mrs. Hargreave bad told me of her daughter's attack of brain fever, of the shock her nerves had-undergono, of the doctor's advice concerning her. ' "You give mo credit for more knowledge than I posses; sir," answered Little. "I told you Mrs. Hargreave and her stepdaughter left the Park immediately after the funeral. I wonder what's got them now?" he said, looking at me keenly. Involuntarily I winced, feeling that the tables were being turned on me, I rose nnd triod io laugh. "Evidently your too graphically told tale haa had a depressing ett'ect," I said. "I'll go outside now and try to walk it of?. Alone and in the darkness I would think over what I had just heard. Alone and in darkness 1 How tinly did those words describe my own condition! It was evident thete was no further information io be gathered from the exhuntsman.

naunt mer This, than, was the story which, a few seasons agd, Had been the talk of the sporting world! , , When a certain Mr. and Mrs. Dudley took up their abode in far-off Northshire, and the huntingmen, who were so cordial with Jack Dudley in the field, wished their wives and mothers to call upon his wife, they inquired first, "Who was she?" "Lester Hargreave's daughter." Why, every M, P. H. in the ki-jgdom would remember the tragic tale the very moment the name was spoken. And how th news would Kprsstdl Need I wonder any longer that no callers earns tn Longdate Grange? Need I wonder now what Edna LyntOfl meant when she tried all woman could to dissuade me from this fatal marriage? Fool! Blind, infatuated dupe that i had been to sell my liberty for the sake of a beautiful face and Mammon! But, alas, more remained to be discovered. The part Dr. Gascoigne played in this wretched drama wts still to be explained; and I vowed to heaven I would neither sleep nor rest til) the mystery surrounding him was solved. I left Leicestershire by the first train next morningt How long the return journey Seemed how wearisome all the changes and dalays? It was nearly 9 at night when I found myself once more at Wexham. 1 had telegraphed from York for a cab to meet me, and two were waiting oatside the station. Selecting that to whieh a pair Of horses was attached) I Was about to enter it, when the driver stopped me. It was engaged, he said, for a lady. I therefore took possession df the other, and we were soon' passed by the twohorse cab, which I could not help noticing was being driven at unusual speed. About half a mile from the Grange we raet the same vehicle returning; a ray of moonlight glinting in showed me that it was empty. The entrance to the grounds was reached. The gates stood open. A few seconds more and I should be in the prestinoe of my wife. Sadden conviction that I was not prepared assailed me. I called to the driver to stop; I paid him, took my bog. and walked slowly along the moonlit carriage-drive, I did this to gain time to no other motive can I assign the action to gain time to frame the words which could best excuse my absence and explain why I had returned a day earlier than I had named. It was supposed I had gone to York about a horse. I had not bought the horse. The less said the better. Still brooding Over my somber thoughts, almost unconsciously I turned along a favorite walk which led round the Side of the house. All here lay in deepest shadow; but a broad flood of light from the music-room window crossed the path and lost itself in the shrubbery beyond. Georgie is In there, I thought; bat, instead of hastening forward, I stood still. One minute more with the fresh March wind blowing on me on minute more, and then I was close by the French window; I had even advanced a step with the intention of tapping on the pane to be let in, as I had done numberless times before, when it was flung suddenly open, and a shadow fell along the illuminated apace. "There, that is better. The air will soon revive von." And the voioe was the voice of Gascoigne, but he spoke with a tenderness I hod never heard from him before. "Yes I I can breathe now." And these words were spoken by my wife. The shadow seemed then to separateto form two; and I felt certain that ho, Gascoigne, my friend heaven save the mark! had been holding her in his arms! The conversation that ensued was clearly a continuation of one that bad been going on inside the room. to bb ooamioBD.1 Seme Badly Broken English. The dear women, G. b.

A Kentlomaruwos telling about stopping at a Western Kansas farm some years ago. It was during the pleuro-pneumonia epizootio among Texas cattle. He was discussing the cattle fever with the farmer while the tatter's wife bustled about getting supper. Happening to mention that Texas cattle were quarantined, she pricked up her ears. "Hal That is the new cattle complaint we bear so much about, aio-'t it? Qnar'ntine, you say?" This is no worse than a patient in Providence Hospital perpetrated. Bhe was suffering from severe pains in the stomach, and what are called by the nurses "stupes" were applied. A "stupe" is simply a heavy flannel oloth wrung out in boiling water, and applied hot to the seat of pain. Stupe is pronounced as though spelled "stoop." The patient was so much relieved b their application that she wanted them continued.

Browne, of the Postoflloe Department, told another in the same line. "I used to travel for a grocery house out in Indiana, and frequently went down into tne uaojc country, we drummers get together once in a while and have a good time. One day the head engineer of (i line whioh was being projected down through that section got in with us. " 'Which two of you,' said he, 'were down through R last week?' te asked, ' "My partner and I acknowledged that we bad been there. , " 'Well,' said the engineer, 'it is a great country, isn't it?' " 'Yes, it is that? ' " 'The people are right innocent and unsopbistocated, aren't they?' " 'They certainly are.'
