The men exchanged amused glances,
and the head groom led the way into the
Stables, where the marquis kept hue
elioice horses. He no longer rode, hint -
self, but it Was a matteNof pride with
him to keep the best of stock. And the
Stables were kept like a lady's parlor.
"Why, you have some pea horses,
and keep 'them well, don't you?" ejacu-
lated „Erna, approvingly.
"We do our best," said the gratified
groom.
Erna stopped suddenly behind a noble -
looking aininal—a bright bay, who stood,
even in the stable, SA if Qn parade.
"There's a beauty!" she cried, and
started to go in by his side in the atall.
"I beg your pardon, miss!" exelainted
the man, in alarm, "but it might be dan-
gerous. That horse is strange, and I
don't know his ways."
Erne smiled, As one will who has no
fear of horses, and pushed hint aside
while she boldly went into the stall, The
horse worked his ears and showed the
whites of his eyes, much to the terror of
the groom; but Ernewent calmly to his
head and began to pat hint on his glossy
neck. Then suddenly she stopped and
stantinized the •enimal closely,
Then she stood erect, and with a pale
feed turned to the groom and cried out:
"Where did this horse come from? It
is Selbu."
"Lord Aubrey's herse, miss,"
"What is he doing here?"
"Sent by his lordship, for his use."
"But Lord Aubrey is not here."
"'leggin' your ,pordon, 'miss, he came
last night, late.' '
Erna turned her hoe away and com-
menced patting the Isorse, which seemed
to recognize her now, and to enjoy beaeg
petted by her. She was silent so long
that the groom ventured to say:
"He's a good horse, they do say."
"The best I ever saw," she faid. "I
rode him only once, but it was a most
glorious ride.'
"You rode him, miss!" exclaimed the
man. "Then you must be a good one,
beggin' your pardon for the liberty! Pm
teed he' e a hardoneto manage."
"Yes," she said, and her faze flushed,
"but he and I got along very well to-
gether. Ahl if you only had such an-
other for me this morning!"
"Dandy's as good, if I do say it," the
groom declared, with quick pride.
"Let me see Dandy!" .
He led her to a glossy chestnut, who
certainly looked as lordly as Selisn; but
he betrayed none of the mischief of that
"Ahl he is a, beauty!" she joyously de-
clared. "Let me have him! There is no
reason why I should not ride him, is
there? The marquis would not object?"
"You were to have whatever you
wanted, miss," said the groom. ..
Erna flushed, noting the words and
manner of the man as indicating that
she was more than a. mere guest in the
castle. She said nothing, however, but
waited for Dandy to be saddled and
taken out, when she mounted him and
reassured the groom of her ability to
manage him, if he had been in any doubt,
by the quiet way she controlled him.
She knew she must have a groom to
go with ,her, and she made no protest
against it; though it would have suited
her mood. better to have gone alone SO
that she might gallop some calm into
her soul. A sudden thought made her
turn as she was riding out of the court.
"Are there any oth,er guests that
cense last night?" she asked of the
groom.
"Lord and. Lady Moreham and Lady
Gertrude, I believe, miss," was the en-
swer.
Erna wheeled Dandy about and touea-
ed him sharply with the wbinso that he
leaped high and started off at a sharp
pace past the castle, the noise of his
clattering hoofs felling on the ears of
more than one 'dozing guest.
Down throng's a noble avenue of
trees, out into the park and so on out
to the main road Erna dashed, letting
Dandy have pretty nearly his own way,
and leaving the groom well in the rear.
Then it occurred to her that while
it might be very pleasant for her to be
dashing at this rate, it was anything
but good for Dandy to be breathed right
from the stable.
So she checked hint by a slight pres-
sure, feeling better already, and let him
dance along in his own way, much to
the relief of the groom, who did not
relish being left so far in the rear.
There was a sense of freedom in this
lonely ride in the fresh morning air
that she had not felt since the days
when she was happy at Aubrey, before
the earl, with his hateful ways, had
.come to make her miserable. Yes, she
realised it fully; she had been perfect-
ly happy until Ise came, and she had
been miserable most of the time., since.
She leaned over and patted Dandy's
arched neck.
"Good boy-" she murmured, caress-
ingly. "Ah, I might have you formy
own if I would say the word! Ugh!
don't let me think of it! Sell myself to
that old man! And yet it is expected
of me. As if I did not know why I was
invited here! As if I did not know
everything is being done for my pleas-
ure! And Lady Gertrude will, have

Besides, it would have been useless, and
he could only sit there and stare in

She turned with flashing eyes.
"You do not iseea to apologize," she
torted. "I said distinctly that I could
not force my liking,"
"Yes, you did say so. I did not men
to misquote you. I Was thinking Moro
of my hopes titan of what you did ac-
tually say, Won't .you be friends? I
have done everything you demanded,
and I will do anything more to win
your kind regard. Why are you so cold
to me?"
"Why should I be anything else?" she
demanded.
"For no 'reason excepting that I ask
very earnestly for your good -will. I
know that I have offended you, and
that I acted like a self-sufficient fellow
when we first met. Won't you accept
my apology?"
She turned and looked into his eyes,
her face betraying more emotion then
he had suspected.
"Why should it matter to you "whetle
or I am friendly or not?" she asked, her
voice quavering a little.
"I don't know," he replied, "It does
not mattes', I keep wondering all the
time how I can convince you that I
value your good -will. I often. think of
the day on the cliff when you offered
me your hearty good -will and fellowship,
and I am aghast at myself for acting as
I did. Won't you believe that I thought
I was doing what was best for you?"
"I suppose," said Erna reflectively,
"that you thought yourself a very su-
perior being."
He smiled gravely.
"That is one way of stating it," lie
said; "I think was at that time al-
most dead to all human emotion. If
you only knew what I had gone through
you might find it easier to forgive me."
"I forgive you, she said, suddenly,
putting her hand out in her old frank
way.
He took the little baud. eagerly, think-
ing within himself that she Certainly
had a charming way of coming around.
"It is very good of you," he paid,
gratefully.
"No it is not," she replied. "I want
to be 'friends, or I would not be."
She laughei joyously, feeling happier
than she would have liked to own; and
he thought he had never seen any-
thing as beeutiful as she looked at that
moment.
"I am glad I followed you," he said, in-
cautiously.
"Followed inc I" she repeated.
He looked dismayed for a moment,
and then laughed, and said, fraiskly:
"It is the truth. I heard, you gallop
by may window. I jumped up to see who
it was, fearing it might be Lady Ger-
trude, who had 'begged me to bring Set-
im here for her to try. When I saw it
was you, I hurried down and came in
pursuit. You are not offended?"
"Oh, no," she answered, with a cold-
ness in 'marked contrast with her previ-
ous joyousness. "Why should I be of-
fended? I ought to be proud that you
would take so much trouble. There is a
very pretty wall, with water the other
side. They said at the stable that this
horse was as good as Seliin. Here is a.
chance to make a test; I know what
Selim can do."
• She gathered up the reins, to put Dan-
dy at the wall; but Aubrey, after a
hasty glance at the jump, put his hand
out and caught her bridle.
"It would be madness! It is an irn.pos-
Bible jump. It is worse than the wall."
"Let go," she said, leer face pale and
set. "I am going to try."
"I cannot permit it," he replied, his
blue eyes fived on her with determina-
tion written in them.
"It seems to me," she said, in that
fierce tone of hers, which betrayed such
a war of passion within her, "that you
are assuming a great deae. By what
right do you dare to tell me what you
will or will not permit?"
"The right of one human being ta pre-
yent an act of criminal recklessness in
another. Please, Erna, be reasonable!"
"Release the rein!" she cried, in a
stifled voice.
"I will not until you promise not to
make the mad atteinpt. Even to keep
your friendship, which so value, I will
not do it."
She laughed with bitter scorn. tier
brown eyes were black with anger.
"Release the rein!" she panted.
She raised her riding whip threaten-
ingly.
"I will strike you!" she cried, furi-
ously.
CHAPTER XXIU.
There were pain and distress in the
steady blueeyes that 'looked into the
furious brown ones, but not an eyelash
quivered under the expected blow from
the uplifted whip.
For a moment they remained thus, the
darkness deepening in Erna's eyes, and
then fading out. The whip slowly sank,
and Erna's bosom rose and fell like a
stormy see. Then the spoke in a strangl-
ed voice.
"Which Way do you go?" she demand-
ed.
"You are angry with me," lie said, re-
gretfully.
"I hate you!" she cried. "I cause out
to be alone, and you thrust yourself up-
on me. The least you can do is to leave
me. 'You cannot expect to remain here
forever holding my rein. Do you find
something heroic in your attitude? To
me it is ridiculous! Therel the groom is
corning. I shall appeal to him."
The restive harses had kept moving
uneasily on all the while, and were now
in such a piece that to make the jump
Erna would have been obliged to turn
around, which would have enabled the
earl to intercept her. He released the
rein saying, its a troubled tone:
"Why is it my fortune to anger you?"
"I do not care to guess your riddles,"
she angrily retorted. "I wish to eontinue
my ride. Will you be good enough • to
choose your way, and let me go mite?"
l/ri bowed low, his face pale and trou-
bled, and without a word. turned Sellin
toward the direction of the Castle and
rode away. Erna, with heed erect and
eyes burning, touched Dandy with her
whip and darted forward at a swift NAO.

him at A IOW fence. Then she tried a

The thought stung her. She had been
going leisurely along for fleetly half an
hour, and Dandy was prancing with a
desire to stretch his sinewy limbs. She
flapped the reins on his neck and he
shook his head and leaped into a long,
free galloj Behind her sounded the
beat of another horse's beefs.
"The groom is doing better," she
-thought. "Why, he is coming up to me.,
Go on, Dandy.".
Dandy understood. Besides, lie, too,
heard the hoof -beats behind him, and
he was unwilling to be caught. He
stretched his neck arid flew swiftly on.
But the clattering behind came nearer,
and Erne turned her head with sense in-
dignation, as well as with some surprise
that the horse the groom rode should be
able to overtake Dandy. aler face paled

jump in spite of him; and she would go
hems triumphant. Dandy quivered in ev-
ery muscle, but he took' the smaller
jump lower down in gallant style and
seemed to delight in the praise of
Ws rider.
The groom was dumb with astonish-
ment and admiaation. Thenceforward the
model of womankind, in his eyes, would
be Miss March; and at, that moment the
worst he wished her was that she eyelid
marry the marquis, his sedate; and
that he would die within A month of the
wedding.
None of the guests were yet stirring
when Erna, returned to the castle, and
she shut herself in her els-mamas and
remained there until late in the morning,
when. Violet came toeeek her; crying out
the moment she was admitted,
"Why, Erna! what have you been do-
ing?"
"Well, what have I been doing?"
quired Erna, quietly,
"Why, everybody is talking abeut you.
They say you went out this morning
to ride, and took a jump nobody his ever
dared to take before."
"They are snaking e. great fuss over
very little," said Erna.
"That sounds well from you, my dear,
but nobody else would say it, But what
do you think?—who do you think is
here?"
"Lord. Aubrey and the Morehouse,"
said Erna, composedly.
"Oh, you knew it, Well, to come and.
show yourself. They are all crazy to see
you. I wonder Why the marquis asked'
the earl and. Lady Gertrude here. Ile
must have known you were not amid
friends,"
"You are mistaken," replied Erne;
"we are the best of friends. The earl
was out eidinq with ins this morning,
part of the time."
Violet shrugged her shoulders, like one
who feels that she may be treading on.
unsafe ground,
"Well, do come down," she said. "Ger-
trude is eiTet green with envy at your
performance of this morning; but I don't
believe she intends trying it,. too,"
About the same time Lady Romig
was talking privately wibh the marquis.
"Well, it's too late now," said the
marchioness. "All we can do is to
watch and wait. Erna, may treat hint
horribly. She did the last time they
met, and may again. For your sake, my
dear marquis, I hope she will."
The marquis was in despair.
"But," he protested, "Aubrey is as
good as engaged to Lady Gertrude, they
say."
"They say!" repeated Lady Romley,
scornfully. "Wait until it is announced.
I wish lie were engaged to her. But
to think of bringing them here! Mar-
quis I would as lief have thrown a
match into a pawder magazine,"
Lord Aubrey, in the meantime, Wie
having a very wretched time of it. He
was well aware of the fact that he
ought to utterly condemn any' young
woman who would fly into suqh a pate
"What evil Spirit possessed yOtt to'in-
vete the Earl of Aubrey here?" she de -
mended, with considerable asperity.
"Why—why--" stammered the mar-
quis, taken aback by the tone, "isn't' he
a kinsnean of Erna?"
"Isn't be a fascinating Inane retorted
the marchioness, inwardly thinking mon
the stupidest of creation. "Think of his
reputetionl think of his good. hooks, hle
wealth, his youth! I thought you knew
he was the very man of men you should
not have here. You certainly seemed to
speak that way when you conferred
with use at Itornley."
"Aubrey!" cried the marquis. "Did
you Meat. AlIbrey?I thought you re-
ferred to Captain Merriwether.'
Mon as Erna had that morning. But, hi
fact, the snore he thought of Ira, the
more he dwelt on the astonishing beauty
she had aiispleyed in her fury. e
"What a termagant!" he said; and
then he thought: "Where is the 'alum

Some Details of the Wright Brothers'
Wonderful Air Machine.
. Almost every boy knowthe name of
the Americans, Wilbur and. Orville
Wright, and their aeroplane which has
astonished the world.
It consists of two surfaces of cloths,
Stretched on wooden frames and held,
apart by struts, it horizontal rudder in
front, a vertical one behind and an en-
gine drivingtwo propellers; there ,in
nothing particularly startling about this.
The meat of the invention liese.in the
shape of the surfaces and. the fact that
thie shape can be altered in the air.
Both, ends of both planes—that is, the
frames on which the cloth is stretched—
arc movable'not upon hinges, but by
bending the frames themselves—that
bending under pressure, just as a rattan
cane bends. A simple system of chains
and wires and a lever controls this bend-
ing or 'warping" of the planes, so that
the two right-hand planes will move as
one and so that the two left-hand ones
will move as one, When the right-hand
ends are bent or warped, toward the
earth the left-hand ends of the planes
arc bent or warped away from the
earth. Both ends of both planes, of
course, warp in either direction at will,
but the ends warp always together, By
a seeped lever the rear, or vertical, rud-
der -planes are turned very much as a
rudder IS turned in the water, Still a
third lever operates the front or hori-
zontal rudder -planes, which steer the
airship toward or away from the
ground.—Froin C. B. Clandy's "Two Am-
erican Conquerors of the Air" in ;July St,

The Antiquity of Man.
'In his recent lecture in 'Washington,
Professor Peach said that it has been
known for quite it long time that in
western Europe man existed during the
glacial epochs. We now know that the
great ice age consisted of different gla-
cial times separate by interglacial
times. In glacial times the snow -line
dropped 3,000 or 4,000 feet below its
present level in the Alps, whereas in in-
terglatial times separated by interglacial
times, than at present. Thus the tem-
perature seems to have been higher in
Use interglacial periods than it is now.
There is abundant evidence, says Profes-
sor Pend:, that man existed during the
beginning of the last glacial epoch.
There is some reason for thinking that
at least 20,000 years have elapsed since
the last glaciation, and that the man
!whose jaw -bone was recently found
near Heidelberg lived 200,000 years
ago.
' If allowed to roam over your
house those few innocent -looking
house flies may cause a real trag-
edy any day, as they are lmown
to be the principal agents for the
spread of those deadly diseases,
typhoid fever, diphtheria and
smallpox.
No other fly killer compares
with Wilson's Ply Pads.

Wright Machine,
The Wrights have designed types of
aeroplanes for use in France AA well as
the United States. The American de-
sign was accepted by the United States
Government for military purposes after
it had made an aerial voyage lasting over
an hour' and, at an elevation at times of
250 feetabove the earth, In September,
1908, Orville Wright performed this suc-
cessful feat with Lieut. Prank P. Lain%
the aerial expert, as a passenger, This
aeroplane, which is the most practical
design which has yet been built in
Amerlea, is forty feet in length, Its
weight without passengers is 850 pounds,
including a gasolene motor having the
power of forty horses, which has driven
it through the air at the rate of thirty-
nine miles an hour—the speed of a fast
railway train.—From Day Allen \Vinare

THE LAST THREE DAYS,
Senator Tillman was condemning the
divorce laws of the North.
"Your Southerner has just one girl,"
he said, "and when he gets rich he
sticks to her. He lets her share in her
old days in the fortune that she helped
to pile up. That, it seems to me, is
more equable than the Northern idea
of discarding the faded wife, when
success is attained, for a beautiful chor-
us bile. of 18 or 19 summers,"
Senator Tillman frowned.
"The ii?ay Northern marriages so -oft-
en end," he said, "you'd think matri-
mony was a dreadful thing. You'd be
inclined to look at it as a little boy in
Boston did,
"Pa,' he said one June day, us hear
Uncle Joe is going to be married on
the 5th."
"Yes,' said the father. 'Uncle Joe

ADVANTAGES OF THE
HIGH -WHEELED AUTO.
A new type of automobile, that is rapidly
gaining fever In Canada and the United
States, Is the high -wheel Motor Carriage
Model.
It follows closely the lines of the almost
universally used buggy, and has all the
easy -riding, long -wearing qualities of that
popular vehicle. Its high (wheels pass over
obstructions far more smoothly than do the
low automobile wheels, and give about dou-
ble the road clearance—a matter of great Im-
portance on rough country roads.
High wheels and full elliptical springs make
It possible to use solid rdbber tires instead
of pneumatic, without sacrificing the easy -
riding qualities. This means, of course, a
very substantial reduction in the first cost
of the machine, and an even more Important
reduction in the cost of upkeep. When you
figure that pneumatic tires on the ordinary
auto cost on an average at least 5 cents a
mile. while the solid rubber ones cost prac-
tically nothing, • you kill realise how import-
ant the saving is.
The Tudhope-MeIntyre Co., of Orillia, who
are turning out splendid wheel autos, to sell
at from pea to $1,000, claim that the entire
cost of running one of their machines, is less
than 2 cents per mile. This Includes gasoline,
soil and repairs of all kinds. A Tudhope-
McIntyre automobile is thus within the reach
of a man of moderate income.

A Turkish Lawyer.
Things are moving in Turkey, and it
seems as if the advocate will no longer
be looked upon as one possessing no
calling nor even profession. The Young
Turks have accomplished a veritable re-
volution. Henceforth the advocate will
be permitted to have his note paper
"headed," bearing his name, profession,
address and even the number of his tele-
phone. The advocate, it is true, is not
yet permitted to place on the paper the
hours at which he can be consulted, nor
can he have a tariff of honorariums.—

Man is Often Not Much Better.
Animals do not reason. If any one
truths has come out of all the critical
study of the animal mind that has been
going on since this century came in, this
is it. Animals do not reason; they
never have reasoned; they never by any
possibility can reason. The wisest of
them do, indeed, get into the borderland
that separates reasoning from other
mental processes; but no living creature,
