"Him I yes; and I don't think you are ever lacking for either will or way, if there is truth in physiognomy," re- torted Clifford, smiling significantly. "A little too much, you imply. Ien afraid I am a terribly self-willed fellow, but I can't boast that my will hes al- ways found the way -what man or wo, man can?" There was an involuntary droop of the dark, long lashes, a half sigh on the lips. He was thinking of his wife, of his raue spent years and gloomy future. "As a question of ethics," said the doctor, lightly, "it is certainly best that our will should not be allowed too free sway; only the teaching can not begin too early, or it coins hard in maturer years," Falconer's smile was half sad. "Yes, very hard; the old precept must be followed in childhood or it conies too late; 'Optimum elige, suave et facile, illud faciet consuetedo' (Cheese that course which is best; habit will make it agreeable and easy). 1 don't know about the 'suave,' though; I'm certain I should never have though it so at any age." The very phrase, unconsciously or carelessly, told that his haughty will had never known early, or any, proper , control. It was not the positive "I did not think," but the conditional "I should never have." The doctor notieed that, and turned a quiet, critical glance from the nephew to -the uncle's face -a fine face without a line of real weakness; but still it was impossible 'for the mot cursory Physio- gornist not to see at once that the younger was the dominant will and brain -the inevitable master -spirit as boy and man. But before Clifford could reply, Mr. Orde' s mellow voice flpoke: • "Whist say you, gentlemen, to a quiet rubber or so? We are a niee little party for cards, and some of us, as I know, are good players" 'By all nieners, Mr. Orde," said the doctor, who was very fond of whist, and n very good player. "I second the motion," said the M. P. The bell was rung, cards were ordered ,up, and two tables set out, "If we play whist, two will be out in the cold," aedi Mr. Orde. "Shall we ;start some other game?" But St. Maur came to the rescue of the three whist -lovers, "No, no, Uncle Will; Northcote and I will teach each other eearte"-a laugh from Addison -"and you four can ab- sorb yourself in 'whist; only don't go in for awfully high stakes, or we two will have to correct your little morals. Prank, my son, don't laugh, but pre- pare for your game -here are the cards." "By Jove! you playing preacher is too good!" whispered Addison in his ear, as Falconer stooped over his shoulder to ley down tho pack. The other gave him a glauce, laughed, and turned on his heel as Dr. Cliffords came to the whist -table, and sat down. "Now, yeti two boys," exclaimed Me Orde, merrily, "go off to your eearte, I don't think the pair a you appreciate whist." "Doctor, will you be my partner?" "With pleaeure." The game once begun, there was sil- ence then; but at the other table the younger inen tallted in low tones as they played; and once or twiee Clifford heard e few words from Arthur Nortb. cote that showed the Derby was on the tapis, passingIy, at any rate. "King. fisher again, you think," came; then presently, "Oh, yes, if you back him take it --only you remember ssbat Tom Duke aaid-» The rest was quite low; but the doctor's glance saw St. Maur shrug his shoulders with a contemptu- ous smile, that said plainly, "I don't care, my dear fellow. ' A millet° later it was evident that the game was ended, and St, Maur the win- ner, for the cards went down, and Northcote pushed something very like gold ever the table, saying, with a Laugh "You're such a clever hand crud cool head. always," "Yet you had the game, my dear fel- 101T, a minute hack," said the other.
