Beautiful Jim laughed; "It Is impoeei- ikle to say," he answered. "I could bettor wmttwier your question next year this time." "Next year this time! Oh, we don't 'know what may happen in • year." she ,ki, quickly. "They tell me that Stuart will have • terrible time at first among the other officers." "I dare say he may End the first few months ty rough." answered Jim. Oent what wlU they do to him?' oho staked, anxiously. "They lltry his temper a good bit," eilin replied "Oh! Mr. Beresford," she exclaimed. '•I don't know how he will stand it -1» ins such a hasty temper." "He must have had a pretty fair test of bin temper already at tiwdhu lit," said sial. •'Well—I believe it was an awful stumbling block to him," Miss Earle ad- mitted; "and if I only knew that some ,Coe was locking after him it would be tomb a relief to my mind—I can't tell You what a relief. And he is such a dear boy —quite the dearest boy I ever knew." "I am sure be is," said Beautiful Jim, telling the lie boldly and promptly. "'And, of course, if it will make you feel more comfortable. Mai Earle, I will keep o eye upon him; only—if ,yon want to wake a first rate soldier out of him, you must let things take their natural course." But Nancy Earle. raring more in her steadfast and simple mind of the personal comfort and welfare of her precious boy, "the last of the isar•lea," than for the ad- vancement of his qualities as a soldier, did not heed the advice. In truth. she etearcely understood it, and certainlydid mot realize sufficiently how valuabe it was. To her. a first rate soldier meant .tine who would dash proudly on through fire and smoke, who would storm • bat - y single handed, and, if need be, die lith a proud smile upon his lips. That yeas Nancy Earl's idea of a first rate soldier; but to Beautiful Jim, who loved Its profession as his life, though he could d ole with the best at an extra field aymor at a court martial, and bated an inspection like poison, a first rate soldier was something very different. It meant somebody who would learn to obey before he should attempt to rule, one who would follow as well as lead, one who bad learnedthence and forbearance, and the value of that greatness which consists in ruling his own spirit. It meant, in truth, a good deal less dash and a good deal more sound, plain. common sense. However, Nancy Earle did not know all this, and Beautiful Jim was either too weak or had not the heart to tell her: so sbe got him to promise that he would be a sort of fairy—or at least a regimental— ether to young Stuart, ,and try to him out of harm's way. P' meant task! CHAPTER IS. A FIRST rt.tal:T. Taken on the whole the bazaar was i brilliant success, and the funds of the hospital were considerably increased by the pr eee.is thereof. A great deal of pleasure and fun had been got out of it. too, by many persons. and if there had been some pain attending it—why. nobody knew much about it. Polly Antro'ous. fur instance, in spite of her brave attire and the lavishfts of .Mr. Mandarin. which had made her out: and out the best dressed Swiss peasant in! all the show, had suffered a very martyr-( don of Iain—but atter all nobody was) any the wiser, and only one or two peopled "inspected what Pally never spoke of to aa, living soul.

But when she (-Lille home mad enlivened him with a ft;il description of everything, and of bow that beautiful fair haired gild with the fat fussy mut her. and the lovely sliver ornaments, had looked more beautiful that day than she had done on the day before, Lord Charterhouse found himself wishing that he had gone too, and made up his mind that he would go on the mor- row.

"You'll have heard what an irritable chap he was," Tommy repeated, tipping the wink to one or two of the less dis- gusted of the officers of the Blankshirs regiment, who were grinning with ex- pectation. Whether be had some Coke or catch about Macre dy's peculiarity of tamper or not it would be hard to say, but if he had. Urquhart nipped them in the bud after a fashion quite his own. He looked. up as courteously as if Tommy bad been a field officer instead of an unfieedged sub- altern, and fixed him with a pair of keen and clear gray eyes that seemed able to look right through him and out at the other side. "Yes," he said, gravely. "I believe Macready was an irritable man. Some men are born bad tempered—they can't help it, and. in fact, it is really not their fault. They are born so." he west on. mildly, so mildly that Marcus Orford: who was dining there that night. looked sharply up to hear if anything more sub- tle and smart the: usual was coming— "they are born so, and silly people irritate them by asking foolish ques;ions." To the surprise of the lad, who was not just then clear enough in his head. nor at shy time clever enough, to understand a shaft of quiet sarcasm, every man round the table burst into a roar of laughter. They would have laughed to a man at any joke of Urquhart's, whether they hail seen it or not: in this case, however, they did see it clearly enough; and the officer.. of the Blankshire regiment would each and all have thoroughly enjoyed "punch- ing" the lad's head for being such a young fool as to bring so severe a snub upon himself. Finally, when, still highly pleased with his performance and on the best terms with himself. he said adieu to Urquhart. that gentleman paid him • somewhat doubtful compliment. • • Good night, youngster. Your new regiment ought to be very proud of hay- ing you come among them." 'ha—inks," replied Tommy, accept- ing the words and not understanding the spirit. '•1 hoop,. I shall tlways"— •'Be a credit to them," ended Urquhart with perfect gravity. "My dear lad, you've only tee go os, as you've begun, to! find yourself hobnobbing with Lord Wolseley and the commander-in-chief is nest to uo time." In the midst of the roar of laughter Beautiful Jim, none too gently, bustled; his precious young charge out to the cab which was awaiting him at the anteroom door. "Get in, you young ass," he mnttered,i "before you do any more mischief." But the last of the Earles, on whom the! keen night breeze began to tell instantly, Was too much occupied in steadying him- self to catch the words which his host only spoke under his breath. "Good night, old chap," he called net, airily. when be had reached the comfort- able haven of the back seat—'alis) a dev- ilish good time. Urquhart's • blazing good fellow; only wish I'd gone into his tegimetnt"— Bat then the speech was cut short by; the cabman starting off his old horse, and as a matter of course pitching Tommy vio- lently backward. Beautiful Jim wheeled round with a disgusted exclamation, and found himself face to face with Col. Urquhart and Marcus Orford. who had, said good night and were going to walk! home together. "Good night, Beresford." said Urquhart., "I suppose i ought to feel immensely flat- tered, but i must say I'm very glad you are going to have the licking of that young gen"tleman into shape Instead of any of us. ••That young cub, you mean, colonel?" broke out Beautiful lief, who had but little patience with shorteomings of that kind. and was thinking, too, what she Not that be was drunk, mind you! He to make a decent soldier, or anything pulled up short on the first lauding. and glared at himself in • big square of look - lug glass which was set against the wall. as If his other self in the glass had charged him with being drunk, and i» meant to knock him down fur the insult! aim there for a minute he and his reflection stood, with one white face staring at another, with hair rumpled on end like a sulphur crested cockatoo, and wit h candle- stick held with elegant negligence on Cabe aide, so that the hot wax ran down in a stream upon the handsome Axminster carpet beneath. • D—d bad wine that," he muttered. "I believe it's gut Into my head, or upset my digestion, or something;" and then he bead • quirk, firm footstep on the flag of the portico. followed by the rattle of the key in the door. Oh no, be was not at all drunk! He blew out his candle and crept off to his room, only lurching once or twice against the wall on the wsy—th0C of course. wet_ bseNn he well not sea Aagway, he iodised his room in safety, and eat down upon the first chair he could find to ren cover his breath. It happened to be as easy chair, and his breath took a 1 time to recover; and, somehow, bed off to sleep, and slept like a top anti the daylight was streaming into the room. and the bells high up in the great tower of the parish were ringing for a saint's day celebration. Thns Tommy got uncommonly well over the episode: e. the dinner at the mess of his new regiment. But be thought he ought to go up and call, so that it Le had In the faintest degree upset L. command- ing that was to be, he would be able to set it straight, and not start. as it were, with a black nark against his name. So be went up to the infantry barracks and asked for Mr. &'reafurd. who was, he found, in his own room, whither he went in search of him. Beautiful Jim was lying in a big chair with a novel and • pipe, enjoying the first half hour of rest he had had that day. He looked up and laughed as Tommy entered. Italie. youngster, is that you! How are you"he remarked, speaking d a more friendly and civil tone than his feelings would have indicated had they been on the surface. Tommy sat himself down on the edge of the cut and informed Beautiful Jim. with a man about town air, that he fest "a bit chirpy." "And I don't wonder at it," returned the other, curtly. "Yon made • reruns splash here last night." It might have been the accent of re- buke in Heresford's tone, I know not, but certain it is that Tommy turned brazen all at once. "That's a good thing." be remarked, airily. "i never like putting myself for. ware', but anything's better than medi- ocrity:" and with that he got up and shook himself out as it were, s to the glans above the flreplare. and stand- ing there just in front of Beautiful Jim's disgusted nose, preening himself as you may see a peacock preening his feathers in the sun. It is este to say that st that moment be fairly stunk in Beautiful Jim's nostrils. "It's all very fine. youngster," be said. in a tone which lie tried hard to make] fairly civil; ••but the sort of splash yon made last night won't do any good in the regiment—not any good, but a good deal of harm. Why. — it, mediocrity will stand you in good stead long after that kind of splash has sent you to the devil." Tommy turned round with au innocent face. ••Khat did i do!' be asked. "I did*i stand on the table, did I" '•Worse than that," returned Jim. "I didn't call any one a -- ead, did "NO; but you might have got over that in time If you lad owned that your head wouldn't tetand liquor." "Then what did 1 dor' Tommy was be- ginning to get alarmed, and showed It. i didn't shy the knives about, or any - thing of that sort, surely!" Beautiful Jim burst out laughing.

"Janet" repeated Tommy, taking a rather brighter tune, "and who is 'Jane!'" ••Oh. we call the colonel 'Jane,'" re- plied Jim, with a laugh. ••I see.
