straight toward the ret: plume and

in Russian trenches and Balaaclava,

The angry animal etopped, attracted by

"For God's sake, fly! run for your
lives! Charley! Charley! take them
away - face the bull!" called a
boars breathles voiee-the voice of Mac-
gregor, the tenant of the Retreat.
Stunned, bewildered, half blind, Sybil
and. Gwendoline wound themselves .hur-
ried along by Charlie, who appeared be-
fore theta as if he, too, had arisen out
of the bowels of the earth. They reach-
ed the boundary wall, they were over
it, arel the instant Miss Chudleigh found
herself in safety, of course, her first act
was to go off into a dead faint. •
But Sybil never looked at her, Yele,
breathless, terrified, her • sole thought •
was for the man who had saved her •
life. HOW he managed it she never
could tell; but in two minutes he had
leaped the wall, and stood in safety by _
her side.
"Sharp work, eh, Charley?" with a -
slight laugh. "Good. evening, Miss Tre-
vanion," bowing with as easy courtesy
as though the late skirmish had been a ,
contest with an excited turkey gobbler.
'I hope hi sangry lordship in the field
yonder did not frighten you very much?
Ali, how's this? Miss Chudie.gh faint-

"Don't distress ythirself," said Charley,
who was plentifully sprinkling poor -

"No, he can't," said Charley; "and if

as right as a trivet, and righter, if
possible."
"Were you going to head him off with
that bamboo switch, Charley?" asked
Macgregor. It would have been a
novel sort of bull -fight, certainly."
Charley held up the switch in ques-
tion, and snapped Alin two.

She had been standing, white as a sta-

her brother's rebuke she turned to her

"I am not ongrateful," she seid, in

ne offered her his arm, and Sybil
took it at once. Had he not saved her
life, and wt e there not a subtle charm
about the nun iliat bent them all to
his will
"You, too, eolonel," Ito said, courte-
ously, "We have to settle about those
repairs, you know. It will be altogether
a charitable net, Miss Trevanton,'
, with
one of his light laughs, "for visitors at
my humble wigwam are like angels, few
and far between,"
Macgregor's pretty dwelling, with its
clustering roses, its climbing ivy, its
sweetbrier and honeysuckle, came in
sight even while he spoke. The red glory
of the sunset blazed on its diamond -
paned casements, and turned the water -
pools in the misty woodland into pools
of blood.
The deaf old woman who. "did" for
Mr. Macgregor stood in the vine -wreath-
ed door -way, like an ancient Venus
framed in sweets, and dipped a conr-
teey to her master and his guests.
"Welcome to the Retreat, Miss Tre-
vanion," he said, throwing open a door
to the right of the spacious entrance -
hall. "This Is my drawing -room, atelier,
smoking -room, study -all in one. You'll
overlook the general topayeturvyness of
things I trust. Mrs. Dobson, here, does
her best; but really I never could be
brought to `see the beauty of order.
Throw off those books and papers, Char-
ley. They can't be in a worse muddle
than they are now,"
Sybil and Gwendoline dropped into
seats, and looked about them with con-
siderable curiosity. Certainly it was a
scene of "meet admired disorder," yet'
fastidiously elean, and possessing a cers
tain element of the picturesque through
all the confusion. The bare walls were
literally covered with pictures -many of
them prieeless gems -all beautiful in
their way. In oi e corner stood an eattel,
with a covered canvas; in another a
writing -desk, strewn with MSS., proofs,
books, and all the paraphernalia of au-
thorship. Aad there were pistols and
sabers, and fencing -foils, and tobacco -
boxes, and dice -boxes and meerschaums,
and lorgnons, statuettes, and parrots,
and cockatoos, and canaries in cages,
and geraniums in pots, a piano, a violin,
rio end of fishing -rods and the novels of
Paul de liotle-all the unsanctified
thousand and one things of a bachelor's
apartment.
The old woman who "did" for the
owner of this apartment, vanished, and
presently reappeared with Mr. Fran
-
eels, the valet, laden with wine and cake
and grapes and peaches, for the ladies.
And Gwendoline, who had regained all
her brusque insouciance, partook of the
fruit and fluttered about the room,
looking at everything and lost in ad-
miration.
. "Just -hear this lovely green parrot
chattering Wench, Sybil! I wonder if
Mrs. Ingram would approve of his ac-
cent. Do yont play the violin and piano
both, and paint pictures and write
books, too, Mr. Macgregor'? Dear me,
you're distressingly clever! It really
makes my poor'head spin to think of it!
And we may look at the pictures, may-
n't we. And I may take this cover off,
mayn't I? Oh, Sybil, how sweet! Just
come here."
She had whipped the screen from the
painting on the easel, and stood wrapped
in admiration before it. The artist had
made a slight motion as though to pre-
vent her, then checked himself and etood
a little aside, his lips compressed under
his dark beard.
Sybil arose and, went over. A moment
she looked; then she uttered ar faint
ejaeulation, and her eyes turned full
upon the artist in mute inquiry.
It was an evening scene -an avenue
with waving trees -park gates in the
foreground, and the turrents of a state-
ly mansion rising in the distance. A
tall, slender young man stood holding
a little girl - a mere child -
in his arms„ his tall form
bent over her. You could see neither
fuse distinctly, but he was in the act
of placing a ring upon her finger. And
under the trees erouelied a weird figure
gypsy -faced old erones-Tglaring upon
the youthful pair with malign old eyes
l3eneath was written: "Until we meet
again."
"Very pretty, indeed," said Charley„
with his eustomary drawl; "only why
won't they let us eee their countenances,
and what's tbe elderly party under the
trees making faces for? She's not in
love with that slim young man, and
jealous of the little one, is she? By
George! the ancient dame isn't unlike
old Crazy Hester."
"And the place looks like Monks -
wood," added Owendoline. "Couldn't
they have faced the company, Mr, Mac-
gaegor, as well as not? Nice, isn't it?
Sybil! Why don't you say something?
I never knew you tongue-tied before.'
And then, without waiting for a reply,
the volatile baronet's daughter darted
off at a new tangent, and pounced upon
a portfolio of sketches upon the table.
"Charley, eotne and untie the etringe
I -adore pictures, you know. How Mr
lfacregox finds time to (16 all these
things, and lie under the trees and
smoke the way he does, is a mystery to
me."
Mr. Macgregor paid no heed to the
compliment. He was standing, a half
smile on his face, looking at Sybil's
puzzled, wistful inquiring countenance.
One or twice elle looked at him. with
a half -formed question on her lips, and
each time noting those etear dark eyes;
her own fell and her eolor rose. The
inquiry she would bave made died OB
her lips.
She turned away abruptly and walked
over to the table' where Gwendoline
and Charley animatedly dieetteeed the
contents of the portfolio.
"Crosseings a brook with pitchers.'
They're always erossing brooks with
pitelsers and always in their bare feet.
'Heron drinking out of a eolitary pool.'

Gwendoline jerked out a sketeli in a
violent, hurry and held it up to general
view. It tral3a water-eolor-a woman's
head„ with long, almond eyes and melt-
ing smile. And beneath, ixt peneil, "A

"It is Mrs. Ingram, by Jupiter!" ex-
claimed. Charley. "I say, Macgregor,

Sybil looked Swiftly over her shoulder
at the artist, lie was *tending behind
her brother, and the darkly handsome
face had turned a dead white.
"The original of that pleture Is &ad,"
Ito said, lwareely. "I don't kaow your

said Chariey, "the original may be dead

OHA.PTER XIV.
The pretty Iii(tle widow who bad
Conte to "form" that fast young lady,
Miss Gwendoline Chudleigh, made het.
self entirely at home at ChIldleigItChase.
It was a very pleasant house -the rooms
large, lightsome, elegant -Sir Rupert's
French cook was an artist, and the
dainty little widow was it gourmande itt
her way, and liked her sparkling Moselle,
her hock, and her Cliquot. It was a
very pleasant house, and the hospitable
baronet entertained some very pleasant
people; and if his daughter's governess
and companion had been A duchess, he
could hardly have treated her with more
courtly Grandisonian respect, It was
every eo much nicer than at Trevan-
ion Park, with only fidgety Lady
Lemox, and her high stepping, proud
eyed daughter, and aothing better to
flirt with than a flippant Eton boy. For
Mrs. Ingram dearly loved flirting -she
was a coquette, and, as Miss Trevanion
had said of her, would make eyes at the
stable lads, if no better game was to be
had. But better game was abundant at
Chudleigh Chase. First of all, there was
the baronet himself, upon whom old
point and floating draperies, and plump
shoulders and, perfumed tresses, and
long, ahnond eyes were never thrown
away. And there were the officers of
the rifle brigade, very heavy swells, in-
deed, from the colonel, who wrote his
name high in the peerage, to the dashing
young subs,- with the green down yet
callow on their military chins, and who
invariably lost their heads at the first
sight of the gorgeous widow. Arid there
were the county magnates, ponderous
young quires in top boots and pink
coats, with mutton -chop whiskers, and
an everfed look, like their own Durham
cows, who stared at the brilliant little
lady in speechless admiration, and whis-
pered clunssy compliments in her pretty
pink ear after dinnir in the drawing-
room.- And lastly, there was Cyril Tre-
vanion-hero and knight -errant -a mod-
ern corsair as to his mysterious moodi-
ness, who lived but in, her divine pres-
ence, and who glared ferociously upon
everything masculine that dared ap-
proach her.
Sir Rupert Chudleigh had been one of
the first to call upon the returned heir
of,Monkswood-his old friend's son -and
welcome him heartily ,back to England.
But the returned. heir 'had met the bar-
onet's courteous advances with that si-
lent sulkiness that appeared his normal
state. .0
' "Your cousin is very much changed,
my dear Miss Trevtinion," Sir Rupert
had said to Sybil, stroking his beard
thoughtfully; "changed out of all
knowledge, and not for the better, I re-
gret to say. The Trevanions were al-
ways gentlemen -thorough -bred; but
your cousiu-I give you my word -he
is as rude as the most uncouth boor in
Sussex. And I remember him sixteen
years ago, with the polished manners of
a prince regent himself."
Nevertheless, Sir Rupert invited the
ex -colonel to Chudleigh Chase, and the
ex -colonel, finding his Circe an inmate
of the house, aecepted at once, and
haunted the manor as a ghost. The
elderly, elegant baronet frowned a little
at these too assiduous attentions.
"The fellow is a fool as well as a
boor. He's after that little woman like
a ferret after a rabbit, a terrier after
a eat, or a hound after a fox. He'll
want her to marry him next -the super-
human idiot, and. he'll fetch her to
Monkswood, and shut her up with the
prior's ghost, and feed her on greens and
bacon, and shoot any man who so much
looks at her. And to think that
that scowling, sullen, ill-mannered lout -
for he is a lout -should be Ewes Tre-
vanion's son, with the best blood of the
kingdom in his veins. And yet why
need. 1 talk -there's Gwendoline-no
milkmaid in the country was ever more
rustic than she. It must be that the
old blood degenerates-more's the pity!
I only hope Mrs. Ingram won't be a
fool and. listen to Trevanion. He's as
poor as a rat, and the little Edith is
ambitious. I dare say she would like
to become my Lady Chudleigh, and dis-
play the family diamonds on that su-
perb neck of hers, and reign Lady Para-
mount at the county balls. She's capi-
tal style, past mistress of the art of
dress -looks like one of Leln's woolen,
with their ripe figures and smilinglips
and scented curls; or Reynold's brights
eyed, laughing girls, who bewitch you
from the canvas. I admire her immense-
ly, and like to look at her exceedingly -
but as to marrying her ---no, My dear
Mrs. Ingram -I'll do anything for you
but that. Pll pay you any reasonable
yearly salary you like -I'll listen te
your delicious little chansons and bal.
lads -I'll play eeatte with you -4'11 ad-
mire your exquisite toilets -I'll pay you
high-flown compliments. but as for mak-
ing you Lady Chudleig'h, no, madam, I
never will."
But Mrs. Ingrain could not read,
clever as she was, the baronet's eons-
placent thoughts, and. her motto WO
still "hope ort."
She spent two or three hours a day
over her toilets, and came down to
dinner as elaborately dressed as though
the baronet entertained a perpetual
dinner•party. She had diamonds, and
opals and cmeraldjr, whose radiance
made you wink again; moires and bro.
eades stiff enough in their richness to
stand aloe°, They were rather sus.
pieious, those eplendid jewels, seeing
that governesses, poor things, as it rale,
don't sport such splendor; but Mrs,
lngram looked up at you with tears in
the Soft, luminous dark eyes, and told
you how "poor, darling Harry" -the late

Without wishing to be at all resent-

height, the farmer will still be found
producing for himself and family an
abundance esf the necessities of life. The
farmer will hardly be excused of being
a trifle selfish, since that is a charac-

Build warmerhouses and save fuel is
a lesson which the Peterborough Exam-
iner draws from the recent cold snap,
It points to the fact that it would also

wouia he tvarmer in winter would be
coder in summer. This hi good advice
if people in preparing the houses to re.
thin the heat would also not forget that

windows. Of eout•se, if the notils of a
house are so constructed flti to keep out
the cold or rather retain the heat, when
windows are opened it can afterwards
be more easily brought up to the requisi-
ite temperature than if they allowed tne
heat to eseape, and the Beacon agrees
with the Examiner that for the trifling
difference in the entire cost a house

New York City's fire loss in 3911 ac-
cording to Commissioner Johnson's re-
port, Just issued, was $S,C00,000, London's

COO fires a year for every 10,000 inhabi-
tants, Berlin has 07, London 81, Paris 74,
St. Petersburg, 73, and Vienna 50, Coin-
missioner Johnson eaye New York is
speading $8,000,000 it year on its fire de-
partment, which Is concerned solely with
the extinguishing of fires, and he sug-
gests that a little ofthis money might
be invested advantageously in the ounce
of prevention that proverbially is worth
a ton of cure. ITis idea is that there
should be a bureau of experts devoting
their entire time to eliminating danger-
ous conditions and educating householders
