THE MAN BY HAROLD A a- -

CflAPTKTl Xn.-The French chef fflves Warburton leon In serving at table as h Is to act as butler at a dinner the next week. Miss Annesley gives her Rroom a shock when she orders him to drive her for a call on his sister. Fortunately he is not recognized by any of nls relatives. CHAPTER Xril.-Four days pass and Warburton bfcomes an accomplished butler; has met Count KarlolT twice and has not been recognizid. Miss Annesley takes a notion to ride Pirate who runs away and she is saved from a bad accident with great difficulty by Warburton. , And Pirate surprised them both. During tha flust mile he behaved himself In the most gentlemanly fashion; and if he shied once or twice. waltzed a little, it was only because he was full of life and spirit. They trotted, they cantered, ran and walked. War burton, hitherto holding himself in readiness for whatever might happen, relaxed the tension of his muscles, and his shoulders sank relievedly. Perhaps, after all, his - alarm had been needless. The trouble with Pirate might be the infrequency with which he had been saddled and ridden. But he knew that the girl would not soon forget his interference. There would be more humiliations, more bitter pills for him to swallow. It pleased him, however, to note the ease with which Dick kept pace with Pirate. . As for the most beautiful person in air the great world. I am afraid that she was beginning to feel self-imporU ant. Now that her confidence was fully restored, she never once spoke to or looked at her groom. Occasionally from the corner of her eye she could see the white patch on Dick's nose. "James," she said maliciously and suddenly, "go back five yards. I wish to ride alone." , Warburton, his face burning, fell back. And thus she made her first mitttake. The second and final mistake came immediately after. She touched Pirate with her heel, and he broke from a trot into a lively gallop. Dick, without a touch of the boot, kept his distance to a foot. Pirate, no longer seeing Dick at his Hide, concluded that he had left his rival behind; and the suppressed mischief in his black head began to find an outlet. Steadily he arched his neck; steadily but surely he drew down on the reins. The girl felt the effort and tried to frustrate' it. In backing her pull with her right hand, the end of her crop flashed down the aide of Pirate's head the finishing touch., i Th re was a wild leap, a blur of dust, and Mr. Pirate, well named after his freebooting sires, his head down where he wanted it, his feet rolling like a snare-drum, Mr. Pirate-ran away, headed for heaven only knows where. ' 'For a brief moment Warburton lost his nerve; he was struck with horror. If she could not hold her seat, she would be killed or dreadfully hurt, and perhaps disfigured. It seemed rather strange, as he recalled it, that Dick, Instead of himself, should have taken the initiative. The noble sorrel, formerlyji cavalry horse shot forward magnificently. ' Donhflpus his horsesense took in the situation, or else he did not like the thought of yonder proud, supercilious show-horse beating him in a running race. So, a very fast mile was put to the rear. The girl, appreciating her peril, did as ail . good horsewomen would have done; locked her knee on the horn and held on. The rush of wind tore the pins from her hair which, like a golden plume, stretched out behind her. (Have you ever read any thing like this before? I dare say. But to Warburton and the girl, it never occurred that other persons had gone through like episodes. It was real, and actual, and single, and tragic to them.) . j The distance between the two horses began slowly to lessen, and Warburton understood, in a nebulous way, what I

the girl had meant when she said that plied James, inordinately happy; and Dick could outrun Pirate. If Pirate he helped her to the saddle and adkept to the road, Dick would bring him Justed the left stirrup, down; but if Pirate took it into his So the journey home began, head to vault a fence! Warburton Strangely enough, neither seemed to shuddered. " Faster,' faster, over this care particularly what had or might roll of earth, clattering across this become of Pirate. He disappeared, bridge, around this curve and that mentally and physically.; One thing

angle. Once the sight of a team draw- j ing a huge grain-wagon sent a shiver to Warburton's heart. But. they thundered past with a foot to spare; The old negro on the seat stared after . them, his ebony face drawn with won- j. der and the whites of his eyes showing. Foot by foot, yard by yard, the space lessened, till Dick's nose was within three feet of Pirate's flowing tail. Warburton fairly lifted Dick along with his knees. I only wish I could describe the race as my jehu told it to me. The description held me by the throat. I could see the flashing by of trees and houses and fields; the scampering of piccaninnies across the road; the horses from the meadows dashing up to the fences and whinnying; the fine stone and dust which Pirate's rattling heels threw Into my Jehu's face and eyes; the old pain throbbing anew in his leg. And when he finally drew alongside the black brute and saw the white, set face of the girl he loved. I can imagine no greater moment but one In his life. There was no fear on her. face, but there was appeal in her eyes as she half turned her head. He leaned across the intervening space and slid his arm around her wftjstThe two horses came together and twisted his leg cruelly His Jaws , $n8j?pcd. , ' "Let the stirrup go!" he cried.

0?j THE BOX MacGRATH. Khee from the hornf T can'f keep them together any longer. Now!" Brave and plucky and cool she was. She obeyed him instantly. There wa3 a mighty heave, a terrible straining of the back and the knees, and Pirate was freed of his precious burden. The hardest part of it came now. " Dick could not be made to slow down abruptly, lie wanted to keep right on after his rival. So, between holding the girl with his right arm and pulling the horse with his left, Warburton saw that he could keep up this terrible effort but a very short time. Hef arms were convulsively wound around his neck, and this added to the strain. Not a word did she say: her eyes were closed, as if she expected any moment to be dashed to the earth. " But Dick was only a mortal horse. The fierce run and (he double burden began to tell, and shortly his head came up. Warburton sfopped him. The girl slid to the ground, and in -a moment be was at her side. And just In time. The reaction was too much for her. Dazedly she 'brushed her hair from her eyes, stared wildly at Warburton and fainted. He did not catch her with that graceful precision which on the stage is so familiar to U3. No. He was lucky to snatch one of her arms, thus preventing her head from striking the road. He dragged her to the side of the highway and rested her head on his shaking knees. Things grew dark for a time. To tell the truth, he himself was very close to that feminine weakness which the old, fellows, In their rough arid ready plays, used to call "vapours." But he forced his heart to steady itself. , And what do you suppose the rascal did with nobody but Dick to watch him? Why, be did what any healthy young man in love would have done; pressed, his Hps to the girl's hair, his eyes filling and half a sob in his parched throat. He dolefully pictured himself a modern Antiochus,' dying of love and never confessing it. Then he kissed her hair again; only her hair, for somehow he felt that her lips were as yet Inviolable to his touch. Fainting is but transitory; by and by she opened her eyes and stared vaguely into 'the face above her. I do not know what she saw there; whatever it was caused her to struggle to her feet There was color enough In her cheeks now; and there was a question, too, in her eyes. Of Warburton It asked. "What did you do when I lay there unconscious?" I'm afraid there was color in his face, too. Her gaze immediately roved up the road. There was no Pirate, only a haze of dust. Doubtless he was still going it, delighted over the trouble he had managed to bring about. Warburton knelt at the girl's side and brushed the dust from , her skirt. She eyed him curiously. 1 shan't say that she smiled; I don't know, for I wasn't there. Meanwhile she made several futile tfamnta tn nut nn hrr hair and An B. 'm gh braIded u and let lt hang t . . . i down her back. Suddenly and unac countably she grew angry angry at herself, at James, at the rascally horse that had brought her to this pass. Warburton saw something of this emotion in her eyes, and to avoid the storm ne walked over to Dick, picked up the reins, and led him back. "If you will mount Dick, Miss," he said, "I'll lead him home. It's about five miles, I should say." The" futility and absurdity of her anger aroused her sense of the ridicu- ' lous; and a smile, warm and merry, flashed over her stained face. It surprised her groom. "Thank you, James. You were right. I ought not to have ridden Pirate. I am punished for my conceit. JJ lve milca ; 11 win uc a ivug vra.i.. I shan't mind it in the least." reKNELT AT THE GIRL'S SIDE. dampened the journey for Warburton. His "game leg" ached cruelly, and aftar the second mile (which was traversed without speech from either of them), he fell into a slight limp. From her seat above and behind him, she saw. this Jimp. -

You have hurt yourself ?" she aslced 1 gently. . : . '

"Not to-day. Miss." briefly. "When he ran away with you? "No. It's an old trouble." "While you were a soldier?" "Yes." "HOW? ; ..' V He turned in surprise. All these questions were rather unusual. Nevertheless he answered her, and truthfully. "iVas shot in the leg by a drunken Indian." "While on duty?' "Yes." Unconsciously he was forgetting to add "Miss", which was the patent of his servility. And I don't think that just then she noticed this subtraction from the respect due her. It was eleven o'clock when they arrived at the gates. She dismounted alone. Warburton was visibly done up. "Any orders for this afternoon, Miss?" "I shall want the victoria at three. I have some shopping to do and a call to make. Send William after Pirate. I am very grateful for what you have done.". He made no reply, for he saw her father coming down the steps. "Betty," sa'd the colonel, pale and woiried. "have you been riding Pirate? Where he is, and what in the world has happened?" noting the dust on her habit and her tangled bair. She explained. She told the story rather coolly Warburton thought, but she left out no detail. "You have James to thank for my safety, father. He was very calm and clear-beaded." Calm and clear-headed! thought Warburton. The girl then entered .the house, humming. Most women would have got out the lavender salts and lain down the rest of the day, considering the routine of a fashionable dinner, which was the chief duty of the evening. "I am grateful to. you, James. My daughter is directly in your care when she rides, and I give you full authority. Never permit her to mount any horse but her own. She is all I have, and if anything should happen to her" "Yes,' sir; I understand." The colonel followed his daughter; and Warburton led Dick to the stables, gave orders to William, and flung himself down on his cot. He was lead tired. And the hour he had ireaded had come! He had to drive her through the shopping district. Well, so be it. If any one exposed him, very good. This groom business was decidedly like work. And there was that confounded dinner-party, and he would have to limp around a table and carry 30up plates! And as likely as not ha would run into the very last person he expected to see. Which he did. (To be Continued.) Men are quite as eager as women to cultivate good looks. We know of hundreds of men in this vicinity that are taking Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

ATHLETICS AND FRATERNITIES

CONDEMNED IN HIGH SCHOOL OF TODAY BY SUPERINTENDENT COTTON. EXERCISE IS BADLY NEEDED But Censu res the Opening of College Ways Claiming They Tend Toward Rowdyism. In a bulletin just issued, Fassett A. -Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, says: "The tendency on the part of high schools to ape - college life is to be discouraged ahva3-s, for the reason that most frequently the least desirable phases are copied. ' Secret societies have no place in the high school and should not be tolerated. Class yells and class colors and excessive class spirits are very frequently breeders of rowdyism. ' "It is not the intention at all to convey the impression that there is to be no fun or joy in the high school. On the contrary every day should be full of joy and cheer, but it should be joy and cheer that comes with doing good work and living for something that is worth while. Class 'scraps,' hazing and rowdyism are neither humorous nor conducive to real manhood and womanhood. "Athletic work has assumed a place in the school world that is simply out of all proportion to the merits. I has taken possession of our colleges and universities to such an extent that in the student world an institution is judged by its athletics. However, there is a tendency just at present on the part of some colleges and universities to throw off the yoke. This intense athletic spirit has taken hold of some of our high schools and in some instances seems to be the dominant force. . However, every high school should be equipped with a good gymnasium and the boys and girls should have constant and systematic training in physical culture. 0 This training should, be supplemented with play. Inter class games can 1 be made healthful and helpful sports can be kept secondary to the real purpose of school life." Discussing the purpose served by the high school and what it does for the people, the bulletin runs: "It is the people's college and tries to do the best thing for the boys and girls, whether or not they are to go to college. It tries to make the student all he can be to give him the greatest power he can take on in that time. It tries to give him as complete control of himself as possi ble, and in doing this prepares him best for life or college. In the high school we need manly men and womenly women capable , of teaching high ideals by their very presence. "Mere graduation from a college is by no means conclusive evidence of fitness to teaeh in the high school However, every teacher in the high school should have the scholarship of a college graduate." The bulletin issued by Superin tendent Cotton is theNfirst of a series to be given under the general head of "Secondary Education in Indiana. U UNCLE JOE'S "GALLUSES Will Place Them in a Glass Case and Preserve them for Posterity. Washington, D. C, Feb. 4 Speak er Cannon does not intend to wear the home-knit "galluses" which were recently presented to him by Representative Aiken, of South Car olina, on behalf of W. W. Russell, one of his consitnents. Uncle Joe prizes the present too highly to soil and wear them out by using them. Instead he intends to place them in a glass case and preserve them for posterity. He has written a letter to Mr. Russell acknowledging the gift, in wnicn ne says: In material and m name I recognize them from my familiarity with tnem in tne eany aays wnen nomespun ana ganuses were tne oraer, made and. knit by our mothers, andj in almost universal use.

Tized, Nezyous Mothezs MaKe Unhappy Homes Ttieir Condition. Irritates BotH Husband and Children-How Thousands of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and Made Strong and WelL

22 ImmmmmmlmmbaBmmmmmmmmmmBbmmmmmmKbt, Mrs. Chester (Purpy f A nervous, irritable mother, often on ! the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children ; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing children involves ; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently ninetenths of the nervous prostration, nertous despondency, " the blues," sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying? r Do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound ; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders : bearing-down pains ; nervous dyspepsia and almost 'continually cross ana snappy t If so, your, nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's vege table Compound: thousands and thou sands of women can testify to this fact.
