That is the beauty of it ; there is no wrenehing,as with Indian -clubs or dumb -bells. And yogi caro have just what weight to pull against that you like ; you canhave the exercise as gentle as ever you please. See here !" In the zeal of his .. proselytism he pulled off his overcoat and threw it to his man ; he stooped down and removed some of the weights ; he got up, took hold of- the two handles, stepped back a space, and began vigorously to box the air between hire and the wall, while the weights slid . easily up and . down the .. metal grooves. _ Then he turned his back to the wall, and again pounded the air in front of him, and shot out his arms sideways, and hauled at the ropes from over his head, and jerked them out from his elbows, and went through all kinds of diverse movements, until he' sud- denly released the handles, which went rattling back to the machine. " Do you see that, now ?—..k for a child !" he exclaimed, though hi was him- self puffing and blowing, and laboriously drying to conceal the same. But what's the object?" Nan's father said, with a good-natured smile. " What's the use of going into training for no end ? For no end ?" Dick Erridge repeated, indignantly. "I say that a man with a splendid build like yours, with such splen- did strength, should keep it up for its own sake. You should be proud of it for its own sake. It is a possessiona wonderful pos- session. What a fine thing it must be to go about with the consciousness that you are the master, that you have the power, that you can always get elbow -room for yourself in a, crowd, and that if there's a row raised yon can make it kingdom come for any rough who is juggins enough -to bump up against you ! Is that nothing ? There are some men think a heap of a pot o' money, and there's others think no end of,a lump of land, but for my part I'd as - lief have some- thing I could carry about with me—some- thing a part _ of myself—something that would enable me to hold my own if there was need. It's nemo me—neuro me imp— Ah, well, I tell you this, Miss Summers," he continued (and in his eagerness and en- thusiasm he left the Latin phrase behind -- it was really a beautiful eagerness and en- thusiasm—in Homeric times it would have soared and found expression in long - rolling hexameters,) " if your father had any ambition that way, and if be went into training for it, I believe he . ,could claim to he the strongest man in England—apart from the professionals at the halls, of aanessa and they're only one or. two. Why," said he, mid iib 1-1T14 forward and gripped Mr. Summers between tilt Pibow ail? .shoul- der, " there's muscle for yea ? .'These's an arm ! I shouldn't like to be the Johnny that got that sledge -hammer on to the top of his little cocoanut. And yet I'll be bound he never practises -with anything. I'll take my davy there isn't a dumb-bell, in the house—" Nan's father movedaway, with a bit of a quiet laugh. " My good fellow," he said, " I don't want to send any of my fellow - creatures to kingdom come, even if I were able." And then he turned to Nan. "What clo you say, Nan ? Shall we show Mr. Erridge round the garden now ? Run away and put something about your head, and then you can come out and tell him all the fine things we are looking forward to." Now when Nan went quickly away to fetch her hat, her first hasty impressions of this stranger were of a distinctly mixed character. In respect of his profound and declared admiration of her father (she might have said) she liked him well, but in re- spect of himself he was naught. And she might have added, in the phraseology of th e philosopher, that in respect of his dis- position, it appeared to be a very good and amiable disposition, but in respect of his manner, 'twos a very vile manner. It cer- tainly was not the nianner of the folk whom she had been accustomed to meet at the -vicarages Even his accent seemed alien and strange. But everything was outweighed by this attitude of his towards her father. In the brief time that she was absent she had resolved to be as civil and kind to this visitor as she knew how to be. She would think only of his good points, and shut her eyes to others that did not quite so com- mend themselves. Was not this the first of her father's friends who had taken the trouble to come and see him ? - - When she went out again she found the two of them in confabulation with the old Scotch gardener, who was discoursing learn- edly about early peas, asparagus beds, and what not ; and she waited, listening to the universal calling and trilling of the black- birds, and thrushes and linnets, and to the more distant karrooing of the wood -pigeons from among the lofty beeches, that were now gathering'about them the silence of the evening and a premonition of the dusk. But presently she interposed, and said, " Mr. Erridge, you can't be driving back to Richmond to -night ?" " Oh, not at all," said he. " Only down to Henley—the Red Lion—they treat me well there. I feel like a lord when I have the corner sitting -room, with the Charles I. coat of arms in it, all to myself." " But Won't you stay and dine with us !" she made bold to say, to her father's aston- ishment. " You won't find it dark to -night driving in to Henley- There will be moon- light—nearly a full moon—and once you have macre your way down to the Oxford roacl, it will be all gi>'ite clear and simple." "I shall be most happy," he answered, with gallant promptitude. "Suit ,ine to a tutu, if I'm not putting you out in any way." It may be only a chop, or something of that kind, you know, Dick,". Mr. Summers said, intervening to save Nan from any re- sponsibility or danger of failure. " We're hardly' settled down here yet. But you won't mind." _ " The best of everything is good enough for me," said the young man, with airy con- fidence. " And the best of everything is a chop with an old friend." And therewitli,al Nan sped swiftly - away, to hold earnest converse with the cook. It was as rash experiment, perhaps ; and this Children Cry for was the first of her father's friends who had. come to -the house. Rut the young .anan looked amiable and tolerant, and,- besides, ' she had a kind of notion that whatever hap- pened; and in whatever chance fashion he was treated, the sitting at, her father's table would be for him- quite a sufficient pleasure and honor and glory. And, as it turned out, the little dinner was in every way successful, no matter what anxious fears may have possessed the young hostess, and her father seemed- gratified ; while as fog their visitor, happy in his self- importance, delighted with bis company, 'and perhaps alittle desirous of impressing this remarkably pretty girl, he fairly ex- celled hiniself in displays of wit and humor -=of their kind. Only once he ' blundered. " Of course yon will drive over to the Windsor meeting ?" he asked,in his gay way, of Nan's father.' " No, no," Mr. Summers said, shortly. Indeed, Nan had noticed that whenever races orhorses were mentioned, her father bad made haste to change the subject, and that with something of ill -temper. " Oh, I quite understand that you have retired from active busittess," the garrulous -young man proceeded. " I quite under- -'stand that. And no one more pleased than myself that you were able to- take such a step—no one more ready to congratulate you. But I thought you might be driving over to the Windsor meeting merely to see some Of the lads." " Why not, father ?" Nan interposed, boldly. The frown on his face deepened, but he would not speak roughly to her. He only repeated a curt " No, no !" and would have turned the 'talk to something else. But Dick Erridge had already resumed. " At all events," said he, in his evident desire to please his smiling -eyed young host- ess—" at all events, you will take Miss Summers to Sandown for the Grand Mili- tary ? You must, really.,Think of the fiaddock, rank and fashionyouth and ,eauty, the pick 'o the swell }nob—the very thing to interest her." The dark look on Mr. Summers' face hail still further deepened ; and yet, impatient and angry as he was, he kept a firm hold over himself. "I want my daughter," ho said, in slow and measured tones; " to form her own cir- cle of friends and acquaintances. And she is not going to begin by attending r`ace- meetings." The young man _instantly perceived that he had blundered. And he was quick and ingenious ; in about a minute he had the conversation miles away from Sandown, and steeple chases, and all therewith connected. And Nan, who had but rarely beheld that sombre and threatening expression on her father's face, was -glad to see it disappear ; indeed, her mere presence,=with the radiant sunniness of her look, was quite sufficient to dispel it. Soon those_ three were on the easiest of terms again, and the evening passed quickly by—all too quickly for the guest, as could be gathered from the evident reluctance with which he rose to bid- them adieu. "I must not keep you up too late, or you'll never ask me back again, said he, in his chirpy way, as he went to fetch his coat. "Andd Miss Summers must not spoil those country roses in her cheeks, though, indeed, she's not likely to lose then u among these woods... And I'm going to look up again some- day soon, if you will let me." The moonlight fell clear and cold on the semicircular path, on the white gate, and on the rhododendron bushes, that threw shad- ows of intensest blackness on the lawn. The bird world was hushed now. - And here was the tall dog -cart, the unnecessary lamps lit, the groom at the leader's head. Jim Sum- mers (as, he w-a,s generally called by his as- sociates --his former associates) and Nan came to the door to bid their visitor good- bye. . " The most charming evening _I ever an , as hein ygot life," p and possessed e gay himself of the reins. ".Awf'ly good of you to take me in and do for me in that hospitable way. Ta, to ! I thinkonthis occasion I will .let Jakes- walk by the leader's head until we get down into the Henley Road. "' For though on pleasure he was bent, He had a frugal mind.' Geed -bye, Miss Summers ! Hope I haven't bored you to death, I will promise to do so no more." And thereupon the two horses, with the groom leading, _ walked slowly aloiig the drive, the black cortege on the dully sil- vered road having rather afunereal appear- ance. Mr. Surnrnera followed to shut the gate ; therd was a final farewell called from among the darkness of the trees, and then Nan's father came back to- her. She did not want to go in just yet, the night was so clear and beautiful. She put her hand within his arm ; she would have him go for a little: stroll up an.i down in the perfect and welcome silence. ` "Now, Dodo, Pan going to talk seriously to you—" she began, when he interrupted her. " But first of all, Nan," said he, in rather a timid fashion, •` I wish you would tell me what you think of him—of Dick Erridge, you know." And then she made answer bravely, though perhaps with.a little qualm of conscience : " Oh, he is well enough ; I like him very well indeed. .I was quite glad to have a friend of yours call on you, particularly a friend who seems to have such a warm and. honest admiration of you as he has, You must ask him again : I hope he Will come often. And on his side I think he appeared to enjoy the evening ; didn't you think so too, Dodo ?" He seemed a little relieved ; yet he went on, with some touch of anxiety : " He is really a good fellow, is Dick. And that slang of his is all affectation it is done to amuse yon ; the least hint—front one like you, Nan—would stop it in a moment. Perhaps he is a trifle blunt and off-hand— it's a way some of the young fellows haVe— there's not much harm in it. Oh yes, a very good chap is Dick—only—only I was afraid he mightn't be quite your sort, Nan." " The world is made up of all sorts !" she exclahned. " And that is just what I was coming to, Dodo. Why should you keep away from any companions of yours .on my account ? Do you think I consider myself such a superior person ? Why shouldn't you bring your old friends and acquain- tances here ? Why shouldn't you go to the Windsor meeting or to Sandownd I will go with you, if you like ; I never saw a horse -race ; why shouldn't I see one—and be introduced to any of your friends you might meet ? I am so afraid, Dodo, you will find this place dull. It cannot be dull for me so long as you are here, for I have plenty to do, and I am happy all the day long. But for you ? And why should you consider me as something to be taken such aare of ? Why, draw such ,a line ? Don't you know, that the great saints of the world were nes er respecters of persons—that they saw the good in every kind of humanity— that • the beggar by the way -side was as much io them as the king ma the throne ? Don't make ine out a superior person, Do- do ! You mast get all your - old aequain- ta,nces to come here, just as Mr. Erridge has done and if they have the same opinion of you' th'at he has, then they sha'idt want for a welcome—from me, at least !" He patted her band that lay on his arm. " No, no, Nan," said he, in a kindly way. " You must begin your own life with every- thing fair and -clear before you. I have not been planning and waiting all these years for nothing. But you need not think that I don't, understand you. I understand you very well. There's a great deal of human nature about you, Nan, and a great deal of Pitcher's Castoria. People Who Weigh and Compare Know and get the best. Cottolene, the new vegetable shortening, has won a wide and wonderful popu- larity: At .its iltroduction it was submitted to expert chemists, promi- nent phySicians and famous cooks, All of these pronounced a natural, healthful and acceptable food -product, better than lard for every cooking purpose. The success pf Cottolene is now a matter of history. Will you share in the better food and better health for which, it stands, by usihg it in your home?

Yes, as there had need to be Nan —a:great deal of charity and forbearance, when you gave up y -our friends at, the vicar- age arid all -their paetty and elegant ways, and came to live hese with a rough and ig- -norant fellow like Jim Summers.' She was silent for a little while ; and presently, as he chanced to look, he found, to his disma.y, that she was covertly cry- ing. " You don't intend it, Dodo, but some- times you are very cruel to me," she said. And it was a long time before she could be !pacified out here in the white moon- light. CHAPTER V. - A SQU'IRE OF DAMES. The following letter was one morning re- ceived by a certain Fellow of All -Souls' " LILAC LODGE, HENLEY. MY DEAR SID,—Truly marvels will never cease., You meet a young and pretty wo- man, a,nd instead of conteMptuously turning aside from her and. escaping into the groves of Academe, where those elderly Greek gen- tlemen talk and talk for ever and ever, you. actually condescend to be civil to her, and insist on her becoming Your gaest, and send her home entranced witi the way in which she has been entertained and amused. I have just heard all the story. And the Roman charm too ; it was such a pretty idea, of yours iss give her that ; she went up to London the next day, and has had the most cunning little chain and clasp at- tached. And do you know what she has got for yen ?—she won't expatijate on its value, of course, but you will understand— no one bat"); and I wonder which of the young men a out town wouldn't give the tips of his ears to receive a keepsake from Helen Yorke. It is an ancient Greek ring, in the original setting, with the most beau- tifully engraved head of Hera, in onyx. It was found in the island of Santa Maura about three years ,ago ; and I believe the British Museum people were after it ; but they withered about the price ; and the museum that swithers is lost. l'fander of New Bond Stteet bought it, and indeed had kept it for himself, only Helen seems to have persuaded him to give it up. She gen- erally gets what she wants ; It's a way the dear girl has. But seriously, my dear Sid- ney, I wi h I could see in this pretty little exchange of gifts some indication of some- thing of greater moment—some indication that her erratic fancy showed signs of set- tling at last. I fear, however, there is no such piece of good -fortune in store for you (supposina you to be inclined that way.) I foresee wiiat will happen. After having re- fused I don't know how Many offers—out of mere caprice and perversity, believe—she will end by marrying that wretched Captain Erl.g, simply because he's always hangin about after her. Of course it's a goo enough match, for it is next door to a cer- tainty now that he will succeed to the Kin- ross title and estates—unless he should providentially break his neck in the mean- time in one of those steeple -chases of his ; ARA if in the end Helen should marry him, I shall be sorry to part with her, for she is really the dearest creature,when you have got to understand her ways. "And now I come to the main purport of my letter. Helen is anxious to spend. this next season in:London ; but not with relit- tives or friendS ; she would rather occupy that house in Upper Brook Street that they have been in the habit of letting since Lady Monks -Hatton became so much of an -in- valid. And ber father has consented—he always does consent to anything she wants, 'so long as he is left free to follow his own 'diversions ; and her !proposal is that I should go and spend the season with her as her guest and chaperon. Well, I am not unwilling. I think should like it, for Helen and I get on capitally together. But then, you see, we must have a man to look after us and squire us about ; and that man, I have anything to say to it, shall not be Captain Erie. I hate the very sight of him. He is too self-satisfied ; too sure of Helen, you might -almost imagine ; I don't like gentlemen who have an air of throwing the handkerchief. Now, Sidney, when are you going to tear yourself aWay from your beloved college ? Why shouldn't you give up your rooms at Easter for good, have your books and things sent here, and come up to town ? A single bedroom at Strong's Hotel in Bond Street would be all you could want, and that would be but a few min- utes' walk for you, no matter how late ave three might care to sit up, after a theatre or a -dinner or a dance. Come and see the world you live in. It is full of color and gaiety and activity ; it isn't a pale and silent thing, like literature—a cold copy of the life led by other people ever so long ago. If you must have books, what ails you at the London Library ? But I can imagine many a snug and merry little party—sitting up after the whirl of the evening has been got over, to discuss all the people and lay plans for next day ; very snug and nice ; and it is not Captain Erle whom I propose to have as the third persou of that little group. At the same time consult your own -wishes ; only let me know, for if you would rather decline, then I should refuse Helen's invitation, and remain at Henley. " Good night, my dear boy. Phillip and Jean are urging me to pay them a visit, but I must see what you have to say first. YOUR AFFECTIONATE MOTHER. " S.—Helen expects you to wear this ring ; and it will do very well as a scarf - Children Cry for ring If you get some squeezable material like China crape ; a light terra-cotta would look It was a skilful letter, and eventually it achieved its object ; bift, indeed, the young man was at all times an obedient son, and easily influenced by a Mother of whom he was exceedingly fond and proud. Perhaps it was -with a, sigh that he gave up his cher- ished rooms, and had his belongings trans- ferred to Henley ; and perhaps it was With no eager anticipation that he proceeded to London to become a squire of dames, But their were compensations ; and among these were certainly the smile little gatherings which Mrs. Hume managed to secure when the toil of pleasure had ceased for the even- ing, and silence had come down over the fashionable world, and whpn those three, with all their responsibilities thrown aside, could sit idly and merrily talk oVer the events of the day, until, on occasion, especi- ally as the spring drew on te early summer, it might be a pale gray -blue light appearing through the curtains that would tell this young man it was time for him to seek his overcoat and get home to Bond Street. *He accompanied them everywhere—garden par- ties, flower shows, private views, military tournaments, concerts, theatres, dinners, dances ; he was included in all invitations as a matter of course ; and if ill-natured people laughed and said that Lady Helen was rather too openly qualifying for the post of daughter-in-law, these remarks did not reach the ears of the tall and stately lady who acted as her chaperon , with so much tact and shrewdness and good humor. Those three, always arriving together and always leasing together, came to be looked on as a family group. No -two young peo- ple ever had such opportunities of studying each other's nature and disposition. And then again the house in Upper Brook Street was quite close to Hyde Park ; looking slantwise from the drawing -room windows, you could see the trees, and the long swaths of green, and the carriages driving by ; and sometimes, when Sidney called in the morn- ing (for orders as it were,) Mrs. Hume would be busy, or would affect to be busy, and would send the two children, as she oc- casionally called them, for a stroll in the Park, where they could amuse themselves by admiring the flower -plots --the crimson and golden -yellow tulips,the beds of pansies, the borders of none-so-pretty—and 'by chat- ting and talking to each other, and scrutin- izing the aseople in the carriages, until they. considered it time for the elder lady to be ready. It was a perfumed, a'rtificial sort of life perhaps. Sidney, absently lounging aboilt the drawing -room, and looking at the masses of geraniums arid cytisus and mar- guerites in the balconies outside the three windows, might have said in his heart he would rather have had the sight of a lush meadow yellowed with buttercups but one cannot have everything ; and London is really very pretty towards the end of May, especially when the trees in the parks are stirred with a west wind, and. there is a universal shivering and glancing of leaves in the pallid sunlight, rendered the more effec- tive by the gathering gloom of some banked - up purple clouds.
