. BY HAROLD .CHAPTER X. X'fter a flercfe struggle" vVarburton succeeds In mastering Pirate in the presence of Mips Annesley but receives no word oY praise. Interview between Col. Annesley and -daughter in which he tells her that he ha invited the young Russian Count Kartoft to dine with tfva on lie marrow. CHAPTER XI. I THE FIRST RIDE. The next morning Warburton wts shown Into a neat sfx-by-elght. Just off the carriage-room. There was a cot, running water nd a wasbstand. and a boot-blacking apparatus. For the rest there were a few portraits of last herses, fighters, and tee-dancers (the adjective qualifying all three!) "which the senator's sporting groom had collected ami tacked to the walls. For appearance's sake, Mr. .James had purchased a cbekp trunk. Everything inside was new, too. His silver military brushes, tils silver 'shaving set, and so forth and so fcrth. were in charge of a cafe-deposit storage company, alongside some one's family .'Jewels. The only incite, inntins things lie retained 'were his. signet-ring and his Swiss timepiece. "Have yeu had yowr "breakfast, sir?" asked William, the fble-boy. "Yes, my lad. Now, as Miss Annesley has forgotten it, perhaps you will tell me 'of just vttfi my duties hero will eoiiiilst." "You harness. rL'e and drive, &Jr, and take rare of "the metal's. I 'Clean the leathers ani carriages, exercise the horses and keep their bides shiny. If anything is purchased, sir, we shall have to depend upon your judgment. Are you given to cussing?" "Cussing?" related Warhurtoa. "Yes sir. .Hiss Annesley won't Etand for it around the stables. The man 'before yousir, could .cuss most beautifully; anfi'I think that's vtfhy he was fired. At least, it ws one TB-ison." Warburton flmoothed ihla Switching mouth. "Don't you worry, William; it's against my religion to use profane language," Wllliam wiinked, there was an ani Bwering wink, and the two became friends from 'thai iccnuit on. "111 bet you didn't say a thing to : Pirate, yesterday, when lie bolted over the wall with you.-' "Well, I believe I did address a few remarks to Pirate "which would ot sound well on !resa-purade; but so i long as. it wasn't wltlin thawing Cistaute, William, I suppose it doesn't J . matter." "No, sir: II suppose not " "Now, wihat kind of a master is the 3 colonel?' A-ked Waxhurton. strapping on his English leggin. "WelL Hie hard to say Just now. Ton t

see, I've heen with the family everj'ly. "You will have to teach me the. lay

? since I was six. The colonel used to . be the best fellow I .ever knew. Always i looking out for your comfort, never . an undesenved harsh word, .and always a smile when you pleased him. Bui :he's changed in the last two years. "How?" "He doesn't take aixr interest in the 'things he A;sed to. He goes about al ;lf.he had acvmethlng on his:mlnd; kind i of absentrciinded. you know; and for- 1 gets to-morrow what he says to-day. ;He always puts on a good faoe, though, 'When Miss Betty Is axoundT" "Ah. What night lo I hare off?" of. a mind i that a Question VI ike this would souad eminently professional :in William' ears. "Sunday, possibly; U all depends on ;Mlss Annesley, sir. In Virginia nearly every night was ours. Here It's different." Wllllaan: hurriedly pulled on his TUbber boots and gloves., grahbed up -the carriage aponges, aad Taniched. "Warburton at on the edge of the .cot and laughed silently. All (this was 'very amusing. Had any man, sbice the beginning of'thne, found himstlf in a like position? He doubted It: And he was to be butler besides! It weuld be something to remember in his aid age. Yet, once or twice the pins of hU conscience pricked ihim. He wasnt treating Nancy just right. He didn't want her to cry over his gracelessneas; he didnt want her to think that he was heartless. But what could he do? He tood too deeply committed. He was puzzled about one thing, howerer, and, twist It as he would, be could not solve it with any degree of satisfaction. Why, after what bad happened, had he hired him? If she could pass over that episode at the carriage-door and forget It, he couldnt Hie knew that each time he saw her the jnemory of that embrace and brotherly salute would rise before his eyes and rob him of some of his assurance an attribute which was rather well developed In Mr. Robert, though he was loath to admit It. If his actions were A mystery to her, hers were none the less so to him. He made up his mind to move guardedly In whatever he did. to practice control over his mobile features so as to avert any shock or thoughtless sign of interest- He knew that sooner or later the day wouldcome when he would bo found out; but this made him not the less eager to court that day. He shaved himself and was wiping his face on the towel when Celeste appeared In the door-way. She eyed him, her head inclined roguishly to one side, the exact attitude of a bird 7 that has suddenly met a curious and s disturbing specimen of Insect life. ,'! "M'sleu Zhames. Mees Annesley rides j thees morning. You will prepairre j yourself according." and bhe rattled ; on In her absurd native tongue (every ' other native tongue Is absurd U us, jon know!) .

"Chuck was right; IVe maiia a mistake, and I am 'beginning' to "regret it rtSie very first mcrn3rcg." He snapped his fingers and .proceeded 'to the rhj&t wing, where the Ihorses nwere. At nine o' clocks e led Jane anfl"Dick out "to the porte-cochere and waited. He hafl not long to Iplter, for she -came out at once, drawing on her gauntlets and taking in 'long breaths of the mcrrhtag air. She nodded "briefly, 'but pleasantly, amd -came down the eps. Her i riding-habit was of the (conventional black, and her small, shapely bootB were of - patent-leather. She wore no hat ?cn her glorious Ifaead, whiffii showed tfaer good sense and her -scorn for freckles and sunburn. lWe shall ride north, James; 'the roada are better and freer.

"Yes, Miss If he tould have got rid'.of the.idei of Karloff and the possibilities whifii his sine suggested, all" this .would have appealed to him as exceedingly funny.

Wv tli ink of nourishment as foc-d meats, soups, vegetable etc., hut that's only haif. It's not the iood alone that counts but the good that we get from food that furnishes nourishment. A pound of steak is of less value to a weak stomach Ahan a crust of bread is to a strong digestion. But weak stomachs can be made strong. Begin by eating less; have regular hours for meals; avoid fancy things and about a half hour after eating take a tablespoonful of Scott's Emulsion. It's a fact of medical history that people have lived on not much else but Scott's Emulsion for a long time not only lived but gained flesh and recovered their strength and health. From the pure Norwegian cod liver oil to the last drop of glycerine, Scott's Emulsion contains just the strengthgiving and health-building elements needed for low vitality, weak digestion and poorly nourished bodies.

west and a dust-settled read. Warburton confessed to ce afterxv?rd that this first ride with her was oue of the most splendid he had ever ridden. Both animals were perfect saddlehorses, such as are to be found only In the south. They started up the read at a brisk trot, and later broke into a canter which lasted fully a mile. How beautiful she was, when at length they slowed down into a walk! Her cheeks were flaming, her eyes dancing and full of luster, her hair was tumbled about and tendrils fluttered down her cheeks. She was Diana; only he hoped that she was not Inclined to celibacy. "Have you ever ridden with women before, James?" -Several times with my major's daughter," thoughtlessly. "Your major's daughter? Who was yo:tr regimental colonel?" James bit his lips, and under his breath disregarded William's warning about "cussing." "Permit me. Mis? Annesley, to decline to answer." "Did you ride as an attendant ?" "Yes; I was a trooper." "You speak very pood English for a stableman." "I have not always been a stableman." "I dare say. 1 should give a good deal to know what yon have been.

I I

'I HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN A STA BLE MAN." Come, James, ten me what the trouble was. I have influence; I might help you." "I am past help;"" which was true enough, only the Teal significance of his words passed over her 'head. "I thank yon for your kindness." If she was piqued, sheTnafle no sign. James, were you once a gentleman. in the eense of being well-born?" "Miss Annesley, you would not believe me if I ttild you who I am and what I have fceeni" "Are you a deserter?" looking him squareJy in the eye. She saw the color as It crept under his tan. "I have my :honorab!e discharge," briefly. "I shall a3k you to let nvi see it Have yon ever committed a dishonorable act? I have a right to know." "I have committed -.one dishonorable act. Miss Annesley. I shall always re gret it." She gave him a penetrating glance. "Very well; keep your secret." And there was no more questioning on that ride; there was not even casual talk, such as a mistress might make to her servant. There was orlv the clock, clock of Loofs and the clink of hit raetal. Warburton did not know whether he was glad or orry. She dismounted without her groom's assistance, which somewhat fiisappolnted that worthy gentleman. If she was angry, to his eye there was no visible evidence of it. As he took the bridles in hand, she addressed him; though in doing so, she did not look at him, gave her attention to her ganntj lets, which te pulled slowiy from "her caching fingers. "This afternoon I shall put you in care of Pierre, the c&ok. I am giving a -small dinner on Monday evening, and I E-hall have to call on you to serve the courses. Later I shall seek a butler, but for the present you will have to act in that capacity." He wasn't-sure; it might have been' a flash of sunlight from behind a cloud. If it was a smile, he would have given much to know what had caused it. He tramped off to the stables. A butler! Well, so be it. He could .only reasonably object when, he called upon hlin to act in the. capacity of a chambermaid. He wondWs why Jhe lead no desire to laugh. (To be Continued.) r i CAMBRIDGE CITY (Palladium Correspondence.) Cambridge City, Ind., Jan. 31. A large audience . composed of the best citizens, assembled Tuesday evening to hear Opie Read the writer and story-teller. The distinguished gentleman was given a hearty welcome, much enthusiasm being shown in each story. Being a Southerner himself, the southern dialect came to him very freely and almost unconsciously and his interpretation of the negro dialect is true and rich. He is full of wit and humor at all times whether in a lecture or during' his daily life. Most of his readings were taken from his humorous sketches, although both, I "An Arkansas Hanging" and "The Bronsons'' were received with great'

It's Richmond evidence for Richmond people. It's local endorsation for local readers. It will stand the most rigid investigation, Xo better proof of merit can be had. Robert Gray, 524 South Seventh street, says: "My back hurt me nearly all the time and there was a constant dull pain through the loins just over the kidneys. The secretions were irregular; I could not rest well at nights, but kept turning over as often as a dozen times at night. In the mornings I felt stiff and sore all over and there was also spells of dizziness. I tried different medicines, but did not get any better, and seeing Dean's Kidney Pills recommended,! srot a box at A. G. Luken's drug store and started to take them. T soon noticed an improvement in my condition. My back was stronger and the secretions became normal and regular. Doan's Kidney Pills did me a lot of good and I highly recommend their use to anyone troubled as 'I was.'" For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
