CHAPTER VIII,—(Continued).
Once he IIshiftedIede whip to his left
hand, and ,stretching out his eight'
hand, looked at it curiously: it seemed
to be still thrilling with the contact of
her email. warns palm. As he carne up
to "The 'woodman Inn" he remembered,
what he had forgotten in the morning,,
that he had left his cigar -case on the
dining -room mantel -shelf. He pulled
tie and giving Adonis to the ostler, w'ho,
rushed promptly forward he went into
the inn. There was no one in the hall,
and knowing that be should be late for
Iuneheon, he opened the dining -room
door and walked in, and straight up to
the fire -place. The cigar -case was
where be had left it and he turned to

lady was sitting in the broad bay-wln-
dow. Ile snatched off his cap and mur-
mured an -apology.
"I beg your pardon! T slid not know
anyone was in the room" he said.
The lady was young and handsome,
with a, beauty which owed a great deal
to colon Her hair was a rich auburn,
her complexion of .the delicate purity
which sometimes goes with that color-
ed hair• 'milk and roses," it used tobe
railed, Her eyes were of china blue,
and her lilts rather full, but of the rich-
est carmine. She was exquisitely dress-
ed. her travelling costume et'ideutly of
Iledfern's build, and one hand, Irom
which she had removed the glove, was
loaded with costly rings; diamonds and
emeralds as large as nute, and of the
first water.
:Fut it was not her undeniable beauty,
or her dress and costly jewellery which
impressed Stafford so much as the
proud. scornfully listless air with which
she regarded him as she leant back in-
dolently—and a little insolently—tap-
ling .Lhe edge of the table with her
g}ow e.

guidly. '"['his is a public room, I sup -

pleasant, frank way; "but one doesn't
rush Into it public room with one's hat
on if he has reason to suppose that a
lady is present. I thought there was
no one here—the curtain concealed you:
I am sorry."
She shrugged her shoulders and gave
him the faintest and most eondescend-
ing of bows; then. as he reached the
door. she said:
"Do you think it will be moonlight
to -night?"
Stafford naturally looped rather sur-
prised at the point-blank meteorologi-
cal question.
I shouldn't be surprised If it were."
he said. "You see, this is a, very change-
able climate, and as it Is raining now
it will probably elear up before the
evening: '
Thanks!" she said, "I •em much
obliged---"
"Oh, my opinion isn't worth much.
he put in parenthetically, but she went
on as if he had not spoken.
—•"I should be still further obliged. if

tenance. in the stableyaid beside the
carriage to which the ostler and the
heap were putting fresh horses. Stat-
ford raised his hat slightly.
I am the hearer of a message from
the young lady in the Ulnaigrroom,
he said. "She wishes eta to tell you
• that she would prefer to remain here
until the evening."
Tee man swung round upon itim with
an alert and curious manner, hair start -
•led half resentful
What the deuce— 1: beg your par-
don! Prefers to remain here: Well!"
He muttered something that sounded
extremely like an oath, then. with a
shrug of his shoulders, told the ostler
to take the horses out. "Thank your"
he said to Stafford grudgingly. "I sup-
pose my daughter is tired: very kind of
you."
Not at all," responded Stafford, po-
litely: and he gut on to Adonis, which
Mr, Groves himself had, led out, and
rode away. The gentleman looked after
him with knitted brows.
"What is the name of that young fel-
low?" he reeked of (;roves,
"That is Mr. Stafford Orme, Sir Ste-
phen's son, sir." replied Groves.
The gentleman was walking towards
the house, but he pulled up short, his
eyes narrowed themselves to elite and
his thick lips clusett tightly.
"A fine young fellow, sir':" said
droves, iiIth respectful enthusiasm. "A
splendid specimen of an English gentle-
man!'
The gentleman grunted and went on
to fhe dinin r coon.
"What whim is this Maude?" he ask -1
ed, irritably. •
She yawned behind her much-bering-
ed hand.
"I am tired, I can't face that stuffy
carriage agate just yet. Let us cline
here and go on afterwards in the cool."
Oh, just as you like," he said, 'It
makes no difference to me!"
"i know," she assented. Then in an
indolently casual way, she asked:
\rho Was that gentleman who rode
by jtist now?"
Her father glanced at her suspicious -
1y as he took off his overcoat.
"Now, how on earth should I know,
my dear Maude!" he replied, with a
short harsh laugh,- "Solite young farm-
er or cattle dealer, I imagine.
"I said gentleman," she retorted, with
something approaching insolence. "You
will permit me to know the difference."
Her father colored angrily, as if she
had stung him, -
You'd better go upstairs and take off
your things while I order dinner," he
said
CHAPTER IX.
As Stafford rode homewards he won-
dered who the strange pair could be.
It was evident they were not going to
stcy at the Villa, or they would have
driven straight there; but it was also
evident that the gentleman had heard
of lair etephen's little place," or he
would not have asked where it was;
but, es: Stafford reflected, rather rueful-
ly, it would be difficult for anv travel-
er passing through the neighborhood
not to see the new great white house,
or to hear something, perhaps a 'very
great deal of the man who had built .it,
Howard sauntered down the hall to
.meet him,
"Goode heavens, how wet you look.

"Four hope is not in. vain. young
man," replied /Toward, sauveiy: "but 1
will come and sit beside you while you
stoke."
• With Iteasont's aid Stafford ,was soon
into dry clothes and seated at lunch,
and, as he had promised, Howard drew
a chair to the table, and contemplated
him with vicarious enjoyment.
"What an appetite you have!" he
drawled, admiringly.., 'I. imagine it
would stand by you, even if, you were
in lave, As a specimen of the perfect-
ly healthful animal you stand pre-
eminent, my dear Stafford. 13y the way

Stafford looked up and smiled,
"Any more?"
"Oh yes. There are the two Belton

Stafford remarked that not a word was
said of either teeic; and Sir Stephen
told one of two' stories admirably and
set the laughter going.
"What sort of a night is it, Stafford?"
he asked, presently. •
Stafford drew the curtain from the
omen French window, and the moon-
light streamed to to. fight with the elec-
tric' lampri.
"Shull we go out on to the terrace?"
said Sir. Stephen. "Quite waren enough,
isn't it?" - •
They went out; "servants brought cof-
fee and cigars, and some of the gentle-
men sauntered up and down the terrace,
and others went down into. the gar-
den, Sir Stephen linked his aern into
Stafford's, and they walked a little
apart along one of the smooth laths.
"Not bored, 1 hope, my boy?" rie ask-

Stafford, . "1 don't think I remember a

very well, sir" said Stafford. "What a
lovely night."
They. had. reached it gate opening on
the road, and they stood and poked at
the view in silence for a moment' lis-
tening to a nightingale, whose (clear
notes joined with the voices and laugh-
ter of the guests, Soddenly another
' sound came upon the night air: a elat-
e ter of horses' hoofs and the • rattle of
wheels.

' said Sir Stephen.
"And coming a.t a deuce of a Pace!"
_ said Stafford. He opened the gate and
• looked up the road; then he uttered an
• ejaculation,

in Itis quiet way.
"What?" asked Sir Stephen, as he,
s too, came out. The carriage was tear-

GREAT. tJAP'S HINTS.

Late (General f oga s Sound hole
for Conduit.
The late General Nogi, who en-
joys the unreserved adm'irati+oli o,f
the Japanese, on the night of the
funeral of the late Emperor, issued
a mote of disciplinary instructions
for the pupils of the grammar grade
of the Peers' School. The note con-
tains - fourteen instructions, and
truly reflects the spirit with which
the late general led the pupils of
the school. The gist of the instruc-
tions is as follows:
Keep your mouth .closed. He who
has always his mouth open sihows
that his mind is blank.
Mind what you are looking at.
One whose eye is ,always wandering
tells that his mind is also wander-
ing.
When paying your respects, look
at the person whom you are salut-
ing.
Ifo not forget your coat -of -aims,
family standing and ancestors. Due
inspect to your ancestors is impor-
tant
mpor-tant
A boy should act like a boy.
Avoid becoming effeminate.
Neter indulge in Iuxlu'y. There
is nothing that makes a fool of a
man like luxury.
Ride in r•iki,sshas as little as pos-
sible. Even if .a rikisha is went for
you, try to walk home.
How many of you wash your face
with cold water in the winter You
should not use warm water.
When it is cold think it i4 hot;
and when it is hot h• , t is t think i
acold.
It is a shame to wear torn clothes
without mending them.. 13ut to wear
the torn part patched is` nothing to
be ashamed of.
Know what is shame; he who does
uob.know what is shame is inferior
to dumb animals. -
'While in good health, train your-
self so as to endure physical labor.
