a to me absurd is that friendship

oor old Turner's adoration of
randson wag quite upon a level
that of Lord Staines, and .the
fellow was fond of him too, al•
gb their natures were so unlike.
fter Mr Turner had conferred a
words of patronizing encourage-
r upon me (he had a grefi't dis-
• tempered by benevolence, for
lers in Grub street) and after
ad ambled away with his um•
a under his arm, I began to feel

received our proposition favorably,
it only remained for us to beg leave
of absence for Sunning and let }lir
Turner know of the treat that was
iu store for him. The L'racknells
we did not ask ; because, for one
thing, they would certainly have de-
clined, and also(which was, perhaps,
more to the purpose) because we
didntt want then.
We all went down from Padding-
ton together in a saloon carriage,
Lord Staines as brisk as a bee, Mr
Turner benignly complacent, Sun-
ning dividing his attention with
strict impartiality between his two
grandfathers, so as to avoid making
either of them jealous,• and Lady
Mildred and Jim conversing quietly
in a corner.
We reached our destination pretty
early in tile afternoon; and eine* it
was such beautiful, hot summer
weather that no old gentlotnan could
possibly be the worse for being taken
out upon the river,we drove straight
to the Btocas. There we hired a
roomy craft, into which we packed
our party. Lady Mildred under-
took to steer ; Lord 'Stainep and Mr
Turner were inade comfortable with
cushions on either side of her ; Sun-
ning, after binding himself by a
solemn promise not to jump abort,
was permitted to crawl into the
bows, where he lay flat upon his
stomach, as good as gold, the whole
time; and Jim taking the stroke oar
wo pulled them all up to Surly.
I don't know what Jim may have
thought about it, but I confess that
to me the distance appeared to have
enormously increased Since the days
of my boyhood. However, we took
a gond long rest, which some of us—
two of us, I believe—employed in
strolling away across the grass, while
the others sat still and enjoyed the
peace and quietness of it all, after
the turmoil of London ; and then in
the col of the evening we dropped
leisurely clown stream toward Eton
Once more.
We dims( together at the old
Christopher and drank to the mem-
ory of former friends in the best
chamber that that establishment
could pro Ince. Probably the memory
of Lord Staines' school friends was
cherished only by a very small band
-of survivors, but the old man ran
over their names and their exploits;
ono by one, relating the merry life
that he had led with them and the
astounding breaches of discipline of
which they had been guilty, until
at length Mr Turner'
taking heart
of grace, ventured to doubt whether
the doings described would have
been tolerated by any head master
worthy of his high and responsiLle
post. -
11Iy der,r feilow,said Lord Staines,
with superb contempt, what do you
know about it? Head master in-
deed ! But of course you don't un-
derstand Eton traditions. You were
educated at Harrow, or some st,cll
place,weren'ty
you ?
But Mr Turner was flushed with
wine, and did not choose to be sat
upon. Harrovians may bo poor sort
of creatures in your opinion, Lord
Staines,he returned; but at any rate
we can generally show an eleven
good enough to beat yours at cricket.
Which was an extremely rude thing
to say, besides being very false.
I don't know whether the har-
nloily of the evening night not have
been seriously interfered with- by
this iii cxpeeted onslaught of the
lamb upon the o li on, had not Jim
jumped up, saying that if we were
going to take a look round Eton wb
really ought not to lose any more
time. Obviously, a single vehicle
could rot contain us all ; so Jim and
Lady Mildred walked on ahead, while
the rest of us packed ourselves into
a fly and were driven as far as the
entrance of the school yard. Here
Lord Staines insisted upon getting
out, and managed, with the help of
my arm and his stack, to hobble for
some distance across the flag stones
which have been worn smooth by
the passing feet of so many genera-
tions. Mr Turnor and Sunning
wandered away, it was getting late
and close upon lock up time, so that
we had the place to ourselves.
The old man, who was leaning
upon my arm, paused and looked
about him a little wistfully.
"I recollect," he said, "coming
down here ono election Saturday.
It was just before Bracknell left ;
and you and Leigh were leaving at
the same time, you know, I waTk-
ed back from Upper Club with
Bracknell and I remember that we
stopped and talked for a moment
just about the very spot where we
are standing now. He told me he
had backed my horse, Jupiter Ten-
ons, by Thunderer, for the Leger,
and I warned him that he had bet-
ter hedge, because, as I dare say you
aro aware, Thunderers novel stay ;
and sure enough, Jupiter Tonans
finished third. I thought at the
time that ho would have stood a
little more preparation—but no
matter. Well, you know, Maynard,
I suspect that what applies to horses
applies pretty much to ourselves.
One hears a good deal tabotit-edura-
tion and training, and example,
and this, that, and the other ; but
when all's said and done, it's breed-
ing that has the last word. Like
father, like son. I have been reek•
less and exttavrgant all my life ; he
has followed in my footsteps, and
the upshot of it is that we're both
deuced nearly ruined now."
I said I was very sorry to hear it.
Lord Staines shook his head.
"Bracknell ought to have married
money. I always told him so. Ho
chose to marry the parson's dat3gh-
ter,and it caused a coolness between

!I felt tolerably sure that I should
not Have to wait long before receiv-
ing a visit and a full confession from
(
Jim. When however he duly
pre-
sented
•
seated
himself at my chambers, his
avowal did not prove to be in all
-respects what I had anticipated, ,
Harry, old fellow, ho began,
after he had cast himself down upon
my sofa and had assumed a most
woe begone air, I've lost my self
respect.
I shall be very pleased to assis •
you in looking about' for it, I re-
plied cheerfully,and I dare say, be-
tween us, we shall manage to dis-
cover it again. It was mislaid, I
presume, somewhere id Windsor
or Eton on the afternoon or evening
of the 20th instant ?
tie nodded. Well, yes; I suppose
so. At any rate, I wasn't quite
certain of the loss until then. Of
course, with your sharp oyes, you
saw ling ago how matters • were go
ing with me; but I give you my
honor that I didn't. Not that it
would have made any difference if
I had; for one can't help these things.
If you had asked too,, any time dur-
ing the six years, whether I could
over love another woman as I loved
the one whom I was once se nearly
marrying, I should have laughed
at you. Yet that is what has hap-
pened to pie; and I confess that it
makes me feel a little uneasy and
ashamed.
I could not see wily a man who
has remained faithful all his life to a
woman who has deceived him and
thrown him over should have any
particular right to respect bitnsel£
for being suck a doll, and I said so;
but Jim observed that I didn't seem
quite to catch his moaning.
I owe nothing to Hilda, he said,
and it stands to reason that if one
bas been jilted, one is free. It isn't
to her that I have been untrue; it's
to myself. I'rn too stupid to ex-
plain mysrlf ; but six years is a
longish time, you know, and to find
myself madly in love ngailt, after
having been quite positive for six
years that that was the one sensa•
tion whiclt I never could possibly
experience a second time, is a little
upsetting. It makes mo feeltthat T
am not rho man I tool myself for
and also that I have been a mos,
stupendous fool, t
Yon have indeed, my dear fellow,
I agreed, with ready sympathy.
Yes, because, now that T to )k
have overlooked his' imprudence
and disobedience ; but, you see, I
didn't think he had behaved well.
It doesn't much signify now, I re-
marked.
Not much now, perhaps ; but it
was hard upon poor Leigh at the
time, and he felt it more than I
should have expected. Ile was
speaking to me about it not long
since. He is a good fellow, that ;
I wish he had a'little more money.
I looked at him and Mildred this
afternoon, and I thought to myself,
I wish he had a little more tuoney !
Only fancy, you know.
I suppose he hasn't nearly en-
ough money ? I hazarded.
Oh,Lord bless your seal, no ! an-
swered Lord Staines. Nothing like
its—nothing like it ! No—she will
have to marry Beauchamp ; and,
indeed, she might do worse. Come,
Maynard, we'll go on and get into
the carriage again ; we haven't much
_a.t, l.: trpin:
more than iiwe tu uu,,�.µ `
So we moved slowly away to
Weston's Yard, where the fly was
waiting for us, and where the other
members of our small party were
already assembled. Jim climbed up
on to the box and we were driven
away to the station, Sunning falling
asleep before half the distance had
been accomplished, and none of us
-talking much. - -It was natural that
we should be a little tired and dis-
inclined for conversation on the re-
turn journey. I myself, I believe,
had a nap in the corner of the saloon
carriage, -and even if I had been
awake I could not' have scrutinized
the countenances of my fellow
travelers in that dim light; but when
we alighted in the full glare of Pad-
dington station, I could not help
noticing how pale Jim was, and
that Lady Mildred's eyes wero sus-
piciously red.
Lord Staines shook hands with
me on the platform. Good night,
Maynard, he said, good night, and
thank you for giving us all a very
happy day.
Poor old fellow ! I think it was
the last happy day of his life. His
life is over now, and I suppose one
cannot say that it was'a well spent
one; yet, who knows the truth
about any man's Iifo1 Perhaps,
when all secrets are revealed, it may
be found that some of those whose
statues look down upon us in pub-
lic places, and whose names are re-
corded in history, have a less favor-
able account to show than this old
nobleman, who was worldly and a
spendthrift, who was of little use to
theo moult large, who took no
active part in polities, who excelled
in nothing except, to a limited ex-
tent, on the breeding of race horses;
but who never, e , to my knowledge,
was guilty of an ungenero,ls or dis•
honorable action, and Who, as it
seemed to me, 'save away more than
one received, both iu the way of
money and affection. He was by
no means a spec l
show ,'
to s unet
t of the
order to which he belonged, but he
possessed some of its good qualities.
The coming democracy will doubt-
less
oub -less be able to exhibit all these to
the world, combined with others
'1 the ba into
•a •
bargain, and, in the mc:ui-
time, I regret to say! that I have
more than once heard Lord Staines
spoken of as ii,' standing argument
for the abolition of hereditary leg•
islators.
C LIAP'l'EE 1 t,
back upon it :all, 1 am convinced
love I never was really io lc a wi th
Hilda. I thought I was, but it
seems to have been a gigantic �nsis-
take from first to last; and what
sort of opinion can one have of any-
body who can make such mistakes
as that ?
Be comforted, I replied; your case
is not without numerous precedents,
and so far as you have stated it,
seems to me to bo one for plen-
ary absolution. At the same time,
if you are so very anxious to frame
an indictment against yourself, I
think that might be managed with-
out going so far afield. I don't
blame you for falling in love with
Lady Mildred, for that you couldn't
help; but, since you must know as
well as I do that you can't marry
her, it might perhaps have been a
little more considerate not. to tell
her that you loved her.
Good Lord! ejaculated Jing; you
don't suppose I have told her, do
you ? `Ay, 1 nevem 1.:I1Aw it my-
self until the other day, down at
Eton, when the truth flashed upon
me all of a sudden. It may seem
very ridiculous to you, but I assure
you that up to that moment I had
been under the impression that I
only cared for her as a friend. And
it is only as a friend that she thinks
of me.
Really ? I said, somewhat stag-
gered by this announcement. Then
—excuse my curiosity, but what
made her eyes so red after you and
she had been talking together ?
Her eyes were red because she
had been crying, answered Jim,
curtly.
He looked so savage that I did
not like to press him- with further
inquiries; but he resumed by and by
of his own accord : She had been
telling me about her family affairs,
and a nice mess they seemed to have
got into There is no inducing
Lona ataines to economize: He has
left off racing, but I believe that is
the only expense that he has put
down, and of course he has to
support the l3 icknells. In point;
of fact, I didn't come herr( to speak
to you about myself and Lady Mil-
dred, because that is a perfectly
hopeless business, alllimfoeither you
nor anybody else can hells mo; but
I'm troubled in my wind about
Bracknell. He has been very kind
and pleasant to me since I have been
back, but I know ]to is in a sea cf
difficulties, and—
I expected this, 1 interrupted, in
some vexation. So much for his
promise. Of course. he has been
borrowing money front you, and he
is just about as likely to repay you
as if he were a South American re-
public. Yon may as well make up
your mind that you will never see
that looney again,
Du let a Atari finish his sentence,
remonstrated Jim. In the - first .
place, be hasn't
t borrowed a shilling
of me, eilcl'in the second, it wouldn'
distress we in the least if he had
borrowed a thousand pounds. But
do you know, Harry, sometimes I
am half afraid that Bracknt11-4s a
scoundrel.
lle said this so hesitatingly and_
.with such a look of anxious depre-
cation on his honest face that I hail
not the heart to toll Lim how ex-
tremely probable it was that his ap-
prehensions wore well founded, al-
though I could not go so far as to
meet him with the contradiction
which he evidently hoped for. So I
only begged him to be more explicit.
• I suppose pilose yon know, he said, that
Bracknell has boon several times on
the brink of a smash, and that his
father has paid bis debts, over and
over again. Lord Staines is the
kind of man who would cheerfully
give away ninety-nine pounds if he
had only ahundred left in the world,
and he seems to have gone on meet-
ing these periodical demands with-
out a murmur, until one fine day
he discovered that he couldn't raise
another £5 note by hook or by crook.
Then he took to his bed and said he
was going to die. Bracknell wanted
a lot of money—hots much it was
Lady Mildred doesn't know, but she
thinks it was a very large sum—to
save him from immediate bank-
ruptcy; and the poor old man was
so cut up about it that he almost
went off his head. He declared
that he was the only person toblame;
that he had squandered money which
ought to have been saved for his son;
that lie brought Bracknell up to be
extravagant and was bound to see
him through,and so forth; and when
he was in the midst of his despair,
as luck would have it, Alfred Beau-
champ cane in to seehim. I sup-
pose," added Jim, with a touch of �
reluctance,that Beauchamp must be
a good fellow.' Anyhow,he insisted
upon lending his uncle the money;
and so"—

After the severest teat at the late
fair in Clinton, it was universally ad-
mitted that FOR PERFECT AND EASY
ACTION, BEAUTY OF FINISH, AND SWEET-
NESS OF Tr INE, the EXCELSIOR was
away ahead of all others, and destined
to be the popular instrument of the
day. This, along with the fact that a
special prize was awarded it, certainly
speaks volumes for the instruments,
and parties purchasing should see the
EXCELSIOR before buying elsewhere.
