CHAPTER Xll.—(Continued.) And that weak mother, who nnder her husband’s influence, had for the last week done all. she could to abet the sale of the daughter she loved so. wept bitterly now her end was accomplished. "Don’t cry, mother.” said Maude, gently ; "I wilf do all yon wish. I would rather not know more about it than I am obliged to just yet. Anti one thing more/ I must—when all’s settled, you know; there can be no harm then —I must write to bid Gren good-by' you’ll let me do that, mother, won’t you?” Xlt was all over: The bright Maude of jMjme few weeks back, with her high spirringing latfgh, was scarcely to be recognized in the .pale spiritless girl who moped about the house now. Hearts don’t- break nowadays; but when young ladies dispose of their affections injudiciously, the intervention of’the authorities is wont to be followed by a short interval of sorrow and sadness. / Harold Denison.. upon hearing his daughter’s decision, made a -mighty gulp, and, swallowing as much pride as might have sfet up two or three county families, panned a letter to lawyer Pearman. It was an awkward epistle to compose, out the squire showed himself quite equal to the occasion. The sum of it was .this; He first apologized, in a haughty m&hner. for what be w.ds pleased to term his curtness at their lilst interview. In the encumbered state of his property he had thought it but right to lay the proposal before Miss Denison, who, it appeared, took a different and perhaps more sensible view of it I than she had done in thefirst instance. ■ He should, therefore, be happy -to welcome the visits of Mr. Pearman, junior, ti> Glinn. , ' ' “Told you sip. Sam—told you so,” said old Pearman, when he received this precious epistle. *‘He only wanted time and line enough. Eve done-my part, boy. It is in-your lianas now; but I think you’ll find it all pretty, smooth sailing.” CHAPTER XIII. A little after six in the morning. The April sun has just succeeded in freaking through the morning mist, . and the air still has crickle of frost in it. At the foot of a small knoll, surmounted by a little clump. of Scotch fir, stand three men. engaged in earnest conversation, fiprefully sheeted, with stable bOys on Sheir backs, some seven or eight thorough-’ nyeds pace, majestically round and round the little tjillock. On the side these men are standing, stretches a considerable expanse of velvety turf-down. A series of (» ler 'white poles mark out a wide oval Id; somewhere about a mile in eircumtence. That broad, green, fibbon-like. track is what is termed the Mannersley Rlallop, and the ground upon which Mr. Pearman’s horses take their daily exercise. . The gentleman in the pepper-and-salt suit, single-breasted coat, longish waist--coat and low-crowned hat, is Martin Pycroft, trainer. He- fiddles with the ashplant in his hand, and seems rather to demur to something that his companion—Sam Pearman—seems to insist on. As for the third member of the conference, a bright, wiry, dark little man, he looks as if his opinion must be asked pretty decidedly before he intends committing himself on any point. He is a jockey of some considerable eminence in his profession; “Can’t do any harm, Martin. He might just as well have a spin with the old horse as go his usual gallop.’’ “Well, I’d rather Mr. Pearman wait tin he is quite wound up before trying him. You must do as you please, sir, No horse can be doing better; but continually trying does take the heart out of them, you know, sir.” “Os course it does; but mind, we haven’t galloped Coriander beside another this year. We suppose him to be quite as good and better than he was last autumn, but we’ve never ascertained. I mean to know this morning.” In the meantime the string has halted, the sheets are removed, and then, led by the head lad on a veteran of four seasons', standing, the youngsters proceed in In-’ dian file round the course at.a half-speed Then comes more walking for itegentv minutes or so, succeeded by anrjtiier steady 'canter, toward the finish of r which the pace is considerably improved —the rate of progression being always regulated by the. rider of the leading horse, who has, of course, received his instructions, from the trainer beforehand. More walking, then more cantering, at the conclusion of which Martin Pycroft gays quietly: “Take ’em home, William, and tell those boys to bring Loadstone and Coriander up here.” Merely replying, “All right, sir,” William turned his horse’s head in the direction of the stables. A minute or two, and a couple of stable boys walk the horses to where Pearmhn, Pycroft and “the rigid rider to orders” are standing. “Jump off and strip ’em,” says the trainer. The boys slip off the backs of their respective mounts, and hold them iby the head while Pycroft unlooses Coriander’s surcingle, whips off the sheets with a dexterous hand, and proceeds to adjust , a light racing asddle on that equine celebrity’s back. Jimi, assisted by Pearman, performs the same office for Loadstone. - “Now, sir,” says Martin, “before we Bee how they are together, we had better just let ’em have a quiet canter. Jim, you get up on Coriander. You, young ’un,” »he continued, addressing the jad'who had ■been upon Loadstone, “get on your own horse, and lead round a nice, strong canted making it a little quicker from the bush home than in the dip; but no galloping in earnest, mind.” “Looks and moves well, sir, don’t he?” said Martin, as Coriander, under Jim’s masterly hands, after two or three angry .matches at his bit, settled down into
Race / fOT a Wife BY HAWLEY SMART
the long, low sweeping stride characteristic of the most thoroughbred horses that distinguish themselves on a race course. And now the pair come striding-along towards the knoll, where they are pulled up. “Go kind?” inquires Mr. Pycroft. “Nice ’oss tlo ride—cau put him anywhere.’* observes Jim. sententiously. “Walk ’em -about a bit, while we get the saddle cloths ready.” Jim and the, boy duly go into the scale. Another muttered conversation between Pycroft and his master; then the saddles were removed; the leaded cloths carefully adjusted, the saddles replaced over them, the long surcihgles passed carefully over, and .Coriander! and Loadstone were ready for their trial. “Give them their orders, Martin, and then come here and see it. Mind, they're to start from- the three-quarter-of-a-nrile post. Who’s to start ’em?” “All right, sir; I told William to come back, -and here he is. You go down with ’em, Will. Bush in, mind. Here, .'Jim, you ride the old horse, of course, this time. Get off, and come right along. 1 don’t mean ride his head off, but take the lead, and keep it.” “All right!” And .Tira walked the grey leisurely dowp alongside William, to the starting post. ~ « ‘ “Now, look here, boy,” said Mr.. r Pycroft, advancing to. the stripling who was on Coriander ; /‘you have au idea of riding, you have. Now, don’t go and make an exhibitiori .of yourself this morning. Mind, if you do it here, I shall take care you don't get much, chance of doing it in sublicl 'Attend to, what I say to you. Get off as well as you can. Jim's pretty safe to do you there; but, eVen if he. don’t, mind, you’re to wait on him till you come tp the quarter-mile post from home. You know itJ Run up to him then. But,, whatever Jim does,-whether he begins riding of whether he doesn’t, you're not to begin in earnest till within fifty yards of home. I’ll forgive you if you wait too long, and lose it that way; . but if you come too soqn and ride him to a standstill, we shan’t want you for light-weights at Newmarkte or anywhere else,” The lad walked his horse ajfter Loadstone with a very serious face. Like all boys in a racing stable, of course the height of his ambition Was tb become a jockey. He was not a little proud of being in'charge of such a celebrity as Coriander.- feor, be it known to the uninitiated that every race-, horse in a big stable is looked after by his own boy, and that these boys, when their horse is one of distinction, are immensely proud of him. They groom him, ride him at exercise—in short, almost live with him. Coriander was the first crack that had fallen to young Allen's care, and he firmly believed Such a flyer never existed. Now —anxious moment I—he1 —he was to ride
him in hi-s trial. He looked even at that as a great |rise in his profession. It is true he had ridden in two or three trials, before, but then be had generally been on something that had had no earthly chance to win. Suppose he should make a mess of it this morning; Mr. Pycroft would never give him another chance, perhaps. No wonder the boy looks'rather serious. But they are at the post. A couple of false starts ta'ke place, in consequnece of young Allen’s eagerness to get well off. “Stop a bit, young ’un,” said Jim, laughing ; “be a little steady. Mind, it ain’t a rate, and I won’t want to get the best of; you. I only want to get away fair. How a starter would walk down your throat if you carried on like this!” The remonstrance l|ad the desired effect, and the next time they were away, Jim having a little the best of it, though not much. Once off. the boy’s nerves steadied directly. He waited patiently till he came to the quarter post, and then ran up abreast of Loadstone. Locked .together, they went for the next two hundred yards, and then Jim began what is termed in racing parlance “fiddling” at his horse; it means riding him a little. He drew near a length ahead, but the boysat still. “Wait till within , fifty yards of home, whatever Jim does,” he muttered, “and I will, if I’m beat for it?’ A few strides more, and he saw that Loadstone could hardly hold the lead be had obtained. Gradually he was creeping up to him again, though still quiet on his horse. A little more, and Jim began to ride his horse in earnest, and this was the hardest trial the boy had undergone yet.. For a moment Jim forged ahead, and looked like leaving him altogether; then he seemed to hang; and now surely he was within fifty yards of home. Was he? Yes! He sat down and shook up Coriander, passed Jim easily, and went past the knoll a couple of lengths in front. ■ “Yon’ll do, young ’un,” said Jim, goodnaturedly. as they pulled up their horses. “Don’t quite know what orders you got, but can pretty well guess. You stick as "close to what you’re told to do, and keep your head as cool 'as you did this time, aqd you’ll find yoarself first past .the post at Epsom some of these days.” “Well, Martin, I think that’ll about do,” laughed Pearman, as the trial finished. “It will be a good horse that has the best of Coriander three weeks from this.” “Yes, sir; he’s better even than I thought he was, ! and I know I haven’t worked him up to his best yet. I’ve no fear of his not going on well, for I never trained a better Constitutioned colt in my life; and though we didn’t r try him quite the full distance this morning, I’ve no doubt of his getting the Rowley Mile as well as he’s - done his three-quarters this morning.” “You did that very well, my lad,” he continued, addressing Allen. “This, morning’s ride will be a little in your pocket, if we’ve luck, and you pay attention to my next orders; and they are—-Hold your tongue. You’ll get riding before you’re
many months older. Well, Jim, what do you think?” The jockey jumped off his horse and handed him over to the boy that had first been on him. When out of earshot, he replied, “I'll win the Guineas, bar accidents. unless there’s a great three-year* 01-a whose name we haven’t heard on.” Sam I’eartnan, in the meantime, seated on the soft grass, was busily glancing a neat memorandum book. "Yes,” he muttered, "stake* and all, it will be a goodish bit to win. It’s a bigger thing than I ever pulled off yet, and I have had some very tidy wins in my time. We’ll be off home now.- Martinf-teh? Good enoughs Jim, isn’t it?” “Wish I’d your book on it, sir,” was the that worthy's reply. "Well, you and Martin will find that I’ve not forgotten to do somethingin_ that way for you when it’s landed?” laughed Pearman. "For the present, goodby.” “Must win—eh?” said the trainer. "Can't lose,” responded the jockey, “Unless I’m knocked over.” CHAPTER XIV. . Ohl Pearman had shown perfect knowledge of mankind on the receipt of Denison's letter. He had gone-over to Glinn the next morning. The old lawyer was quite master of the situation. The squire felt quite grateful to his visitor for the tact and delicacy with which he paved the way for his retreat '.from an-awkward position. It was, perhaps, this wonderful quality which had helped Pearman on in the world more than anything. Even those who had been I most closely shorn were always impressed to their dying day that, if they could have pulled through the swamp of impecuniosity their recklessness had plunged them into. Pearman would have done it. Denison was no fool where his interests were concerned.. He had, it is true, been guilty of the grossest folly in squandering a fine property; but he was not weak enough to look' upon the; lawyer as a benefactor. , . - . “Well, Mr. Pearman,”, he said, “we had best let-bygones be bygones. If I was sharp upon, you the other day in speech, you retaliated on the mortgage; and you had the best of it. Come in and lunch.” So the old gentleman lunched at Glinn, and was introduced to Mrs. Denison and his future daughter-in-law. Maude took but little notice of him; but her mother, having now made up her mind to the match, was favorably impressed. Mr. Pearman.' in fact, dressed quite as the old respectable confidential solicitor, and acfed the part extremely well. Poor Mrs. Denison, having made up her mind tomeet her ideal of a low turf attorney, derived principally from novels, was most agreeably astonished. ■ ‘ That the son would quickly follow in his father’s footsteps was a matter of course: jmd here again- the Glinn family were destined; to be pleasantly surprised. Sam Pearmaii,. though he had not all. yet inherited a fair proportion of his father’s fact. The old gentleman, too, had given him one or two valuable hints. He pre-" seated himself very quietly, was very subdued and respectful, but by no means demonstrative in his attentions to Maude; talked just a shade of racing, to gratify the squire, letting it drop as quickly as opportunity served; chatted pleasantly on all the topics of the day, and took his departure after the delivery of a neat anecdote that made even Mrs. Denison smile. ■
Poor Maude, she had sat very pale through- the visit ; but even -she felt & species of mild gratitude for the little her accredited suitor had sought from her on this occasion. She felt that she could marry the man to save Glinn to her parents, but that any lovemaking beforehand would be unendurable. If he would continue to treat her with quiet courtesy, she could bear it; but to yield her lips to him, she felt was beyond her. That lovers claim such favors she knew; but the girl had a strong touch of romance in her, and vowed no kiss should be laid on her cheek until, she was irrevocably severed from Grenville Rose. She still clung to an undefined hope that he might rescue her .yet. Poor child! her case looks sad enough now; .but there are a good many fitful changes in this world’s great kaleidoscope. Men cut their'throats prematurely, and humanity generally declines struggling, just as better; times are about to dawn. “More judicious to play the game out than throw down the cards,” holds good in life (To be Continued.) Experienced. “How in the world could you understand what that conductor said when his mouth was full of transfers?” queried the short man on the back platform. “Bachelor, eh?” asked the tall man. “Sure thing!” “Thought so. You see, I could understand him because his words sounded exactly like my wife’s when her mouth is full of hairpins.” Too Much for Mamma. “What’s,the matter w'ith your eye, Tommie?” “The boy next door struck me, mamma.” “What for, pray?” “He said I struck him first.” “And did you?” “No; honest, I didn’t, mamma!” “Well, why didn’t you?”—Yonkers Statesman. » Gentle Hint.

For High-Heeled Shoes. High heels on shoes and slippers lost their favor with the women simply because they found they could not wear
them without spraining injuring the ankle. Shoemakers know that the high-heeled shoe is much preferred to the low heel—in fact, the higher the heel the more it is liked. A Virginia
HEEL ATTACHMENT
woman claims that anyjughdieeled shoe or slipped, especially, can be made perfectly safe for . the wearer by the introduction of a small supporting plate placed inside the 1 shoe, close to the heel. This plate is of metal and curved to conform to the heel of the foot of the wearer. It is. placed in the shoe in combination with the sole, the plate lying under the heel and extending upward at each side, ending in a T, which epgages the side of the foot, immediately" below the ankle. Women True to Themselves.® Mr. John M. jOoulter, head of the department of botany) of the Chicago University, who with his wife and children was In the ill-fated Republic, says that the heroic conduct of the women was something that can never be forgotten; When the order came to put on life preservers the women put them on as coolly aS if they were shirt WaistsJ There was no fainting, no panic and they even joked among themselves to conceal any fear they might have as they adjusted the unusual preservers. They conducted themselves, he says, in a manner to make one forever proud of American womanhood. It gave one an understanding of the nobility of woman’s nature, he declared, that does not present itself often in an ordinary lifetime. Handsome Afternoon Cdstnmo. 7/Oii 'iHL\ Ili w Chiffon broadcloth, in a delightful shade of brown, was- used for a costume suitable for informal luncheons, matinee, etc., and from which our sketch was made. It employs the popular tunic effect in front with long trained skirt. The short-waisted bodice is elaborately trimmed with navy Russian lace, and the entire tight-long sleeves are made from allover lace, matching in design that used on the bodice. The finish at hand is 1 band of sable. A white-faced brown satin hat and sable muff complete the costume. A Candy Pull. A nice party to have is a candy pull. When inviting- the guests ask each to bring an apron. Boil the candy for an hour. It had better be put on before the guests come. While waiting for the candy to cook a lively game of cards may be played, such as "pit” or “old maid.” When the candy is all pulled put it on a. marble slab to harden. Refreshments may now be served. After this a game or two of charades may be played. . Purpose of Exercise. Exercise should be taken to increase the circulation and tissue change; to stimulate the elimination of waste products; to develop the muscles; to promote healthy action of the digestive organs, and to clear the brain and head, thus fitting us to do more work and better work than we would otherwise be able to perform. Put Tbought Into Meals. One mother of growing sons learned almost too late the folly of so catering to an individual peculiarity. The husband and father liked neither soups, dessert; fish nor salad, and the family ‘ meals consisted of a dreary round of meat, coffee and a vegetable. Thea the mother found that her boys, iissatis-
tied with such plain fare, were seeking ; a more-varied menu in restaurants and gay hotels, with none too desirable companions. 1 It pays every housekeeper, if only to spare herself family grumbling, to put more thought than she does into ordering the meals. If systematized it takes little time, even in a busy life, to provide, more varied cooking, and the trouble pays from an ethical as well as health standpoint. ■lib aabnaes Shot velvets in wonderful two-toned effects are high in favor; ■ Wide tulle strings finish the hat de signed for the picturesque girl. Coyded silks are making rip waists for street coat and skirt suits. Jet. butterfly buckles are tlie latest and daintiest things for slippers. With the black tailored costumes gold embroidery is in. great favor. The popularity of suede is waning and richer colors are in evidence. Embroidery in heavy worsted or silk is employed on many new cloth gowns. The butter bowl shape hat is still shown and threatens to -stay another year. Women, young and old. are wearing jet jewelry with gowns -black and white. Nowadays, nearly all women wear jabots and among the prettiest is the grandfather frill. . Open-meshed stockings are now little favored, filet net in lisle and silk being the rage. Royal blue, golden brown, mulberry and maize are fashionable colors in high-class costumes. Embroidery dots of various sizes are used in dainty ties. The dots may be white or a color. Nearly all of the hats are mane' withQUt bandeau, and must be worn with the fiat hair dressing. Thin wools, which make up into charming house gowns, are found in all the fashionable shades and tones. are being worn again in quantities and this year they need not match in design, size or material. There is nothing newer in veils than the -directoire veil and ruff combined. The veil is drawn into a band of bon around the thyoat or ends in a thick ruff hiade of the veiling. The breakfast cap is a dainty fad of fashionable women. It is of lace of the finest quality, hand embroidered, and is ornamented with a nosegay of old-fashioned flowers made of ribbons. Costs Less to Feed Women, , In a small Philadelphia restaurant that caters to persons on economy bent the bill of fare is headed by this notice: “Regular dinner—Men, 25 cents; women, 15 cents.” “How is this?” asked a chance customer belonging to the sex most heavily'taxed. “You charge us fellows 10 cents more than you do the women. What have-we done that we should be so discriminated against?” “You eat more,” was the plain rejoinder. “It doesn’t cost nearly so much to feed women as men. but we are the first concern in this part of town that has been brave enough to say so in plain print. Many foreign restaurants have recognized that fact, and have regulated their charges accordingly.” Sardou’s Opinion of Women. “I have the highest opinion' of the fair sex. I consider women superior to men in almost everything; they possess the intuitive faculty, to an extraordinary degree, and may almost always be trusted to do the right thing in the right place. They are full of noble instincts, and, though heavily handicapped by fate, oome well out of every ordeal. You haye but to turn to history to realize the truth of what I say.”'—The Strand Magazine. k HEALTH £ BEAUTY fl Keeping the feet warm and dry will aid in making the cheeks red. Cold feet will bleach out the skin and bring color to the wrong place, namely the nose. A glass of hot water before breakfast is a cleanser and tonic for the entire system. For an oily, greasy skin, squeeze half a lemon into the water, drink without adding sugar. Spirits .of camphor dries up fever blisters when they are just commencing. It is well, however, to cover the lips lightly with grease, to keep the camphor from irritating the surround--1 ing flesh. , Warts and wens are sometimes cured by rubbing them two or three times
dally with (in Irish potato. Cut off one end of the; potato and rub the tumor with the pared surface. After each operation rjemove a slice of the potato. If the cubicle about your nails seems tough and there is a tendency to “hang nails.” rub; in a little, vaseline or cold cream every night before retiring. Soon you will see a marked improvement in the condition, of the nails. ' The worried housekeeper should go out on the!veranda for a few moments, take several 1 full breaths of fresh air, shake the stiffness from fingers, wrists,elbows and all other joints of the body, stretch, yawn, smile and laugh -if possible—a good, deep, muscular laugh. “' 1 ■■■■/>■ ■ Takys Pessimistic View. Prof. Hagerty, of the University of Ohio, said at the -meeting, of the Sociological Society in Washington recently that. educated women did not marry as early in life as women used to, that they had fewer children and the offspring are not' as strong. The State has| taken care of the education of the Ohiid, the kitehen. is practically the only Survival of the old industrial aspect of ithe home, children being thus relieved of household duties: The re suit, with the tendency to live in hoarding houses and flats, tends to destroy the solidarity"of’ the home without aiay apparent advantage.

There is no trimming save two ssilk frogs for closing purposes. China silk, challis dr silk mhslin With lining, would also serve fdr this piece of daintiness. y Protect the Finger. Every woman who sews or embroiders objects to the roughened first finger of the!left hand, which seems impossible not to prick. Not only is the roughened edge unsightly, but it catches on the work, especially when doing silk embroidery, and is almost impossible to keep clean. There is a new protector for this finger that seems to protect without getting in the way of the sewer. It is made in a specially prepared glass that does not blunt the needle, comes in several sizes and, best of all, is cheap enough for every sewer to own. Reducing Flesh. Whatever else fashion hints there is not the slightest rumor that flesh is to be stylish in the near future. Therefore women who are not thin are keeping up all kinds of methods to make .them -i so. Live on noodles, is .the cry. Consequently-this diet is strictly kept by women who are willing to sacrifice anything to be thin. The latest remedy, however, is to drink camomile tea without sugar, an hour after eating. This is said to cure the most rebellious case and turn one of shaped proportions into sylphlike lines. Clean. Shields. Malny think it is impossible to wash dress shields in other than cold water. They! should first be dampened with cold water and covered with white soap rubbed into the covering. Put. them into a basin and pour very warm water over them and 'let them stand until the water begins to cool, then scrub with a staff brush. Rinse in cold water and let stem gradually dry away froni artificial heat. Do not attempt to press them. ■ 4 Dry Scalp Causes Gray Hair. Nothing will so quickly cause the hair to turn gray as an absence of nourishing oils, and it is for this reason that tonics containing such ingredients are invaluable. When there is a decided tendency to whiteness a formula that has been found useful, if massaged nightly into the head, is one dram each of terebone, borax and sulphur and six ounces of lavender water. Homemade Clothes Hanger. Excellent shirt waist and coat hang, ers can be made by cutting small barrel hoops in two. Half-barrel hoops are the best. Wrap the hoop with cambric and fasten in the center of same a loop or wire to hang it up with. The advantage of these over the wire ones is that they do not crease the garments-
