Dia he send you here?" "Yes, tnise," "With a message?" "With a note, miss," "To Mrs. Ingram?w "Yes, miss." "Was it the note that made her so engry—that made her horsewhip you?" "No, miss!' "Something you said to her yqurself?" “Yes, miss!' "Did she enswer the note?" "Yes, miss. She tore it up, and told ine to tell him so. And I must go, miss," eried out poor Joe, frantically. "I must get back before nine." He fairly broke from the baronet's daughter, and rode rapidly home. The silver stars were all sown broadcast in the deep blue August sky before he reached the Retreat. His master was leaning over the low thicket, enjoying the moonlight and his inevitable cigar. "Well, Joe," he said; "and you gime the lady?" "Yes, sir." "And delivered my note?" "Yes, sir." What's the answer, my lad?" 'She tore it up in little pieces, and told me she defied you, and you might ,do your worst!' "Humph! She did, aid she? Little devil! Joe, my boy," laying his hand suddenly on his servant's shoulder, "did you know her?" "I did, sir," Joe answered, very quiet "And she knew you?" joe lifted his head and took off his cap. The moonlight fell full on the grisly marks of the horsewhip. "Look here, sir," he said, huskily. "I told her who 1 was•' 1 showed her the picter. She threw itinto the fish -pond. She snatched the whip out of my hand, and she gave me this. "Good God!' Macgregor said, abso- lutely turning white with horror, "your mother did that, Joe?" "She called me a liar and a hound; she did this. I don't mind the pain, sir —it isn't that—" The lad's voice broke down, and he sobbed outright. "Joe, Joe, my ,poor fellow'," his master said, his own eyes humid. But Joe Dawson turned abruptly away, and plunged into the woodland. "It is over!" Macgregor said, between his clinched teeth. "By the Eternal! she shall reap as she sows. She has sown the wind—she shall reap the whirlwind. You have gone the length of your tethdr, Mrs. Ingram. Now beware of Angus Macgregor !» An hour after, followinsr guardedly in the direction Joe had taken, he came upon him lying on the grass, face down- ward, still as a stone. CHAPTER XXIII. The pretty widow at Chudleigh Chase, besides the virtues of beauty, elegance and grace, had the additional virtue of being a eonstant attendant at divine worship. Twice every Sunday, rain or shine, you eaw her in the baronet's great carved, and cushioned, and curtained pew, het large, tender, dark eyes raised with kil- ling execution to the preacher's face, and the dimpled chin and rose -bloom cheeks framed in some exquisite gem of & earl- sian court. She was very devout, and carried a book of Common Prayer, and prayed for the queen ard royal family, ad uus mis- erable sinners," with an unction good to hear.. She was not only very devout) herself, but the cause of devotion in others; for, be -Sides half a dozen bearded adorers, who followed their dove -like divinity to church morning and afternoon, she in- sisted on fetching Gwendoline, willy-nil- ly. Sir Rupert laughed sardonically, and issued it paterrutl bull that his daughter was to obey. "I don't suppose it will do her any good," the old diseiple of Voltaire said, grimly. "She'll criticise the bonnets, and make eyes at those fellows from the Speckhaven Barranks, or fall asleep over the sermon; but take her with you, by all means. my dear madame. Go- ing tc) church on Sunday giVe8 an air of respectability 10 veek-day sins, and 1 don't want her at home." Gwendoline did criticise the bonnets, ad "make eves" at the fellows from Speekha,ven Barracks, 1 regret to say; and, if she didn't fall asleep during the sermon, fidgeted and yawned fearfully in the rector's face. But sometimes—oh, blissful times! —Lieutenant P. S. Dobbs swarmed -up tlie aisle in mufti, with those eounin- spiring whiskers and heavenly eyes of his; and then the damp, stuffy old church turned suddenly to nera,diee, and Gwendoline te one of the polls. They' rather poked fun at the lieuten- ant, and his fair, girlieh fuee—his eros ther officers.

"You inspertinent—" The widow made as though to box her audacious pupil's care, but Miss Chudleigh drew herself suddenly up, with flashing blue eyes. "Don't you lay a finger on ma, airs. Ingraml I am Sir Rupert Chudleigh's daughter and heirees. You are --what are you, Mrs. Ingram? I wonder if that poor Joe Dawson knows?" Mrs. Ingram stood white to the lips witit intense rage, yet powerless before this impertinent little girl. "You sing quite a new tune of late, Miss Chudleigh,‘" she said, with a sneer. "It is well to have good blood in one's veins, even on one's father's side. Or has the lieutenant, Michael Cassio, the great Dobbe, proposed; and are you and he about to make a moonlight flitteng of it? How delighted Sir Rupert will be to find the Tallow Candle of the haugh- ty Dobbs added to the Cliudley quarter- iegs." With which, parting shot Mrs. Ingram, who let very few people ever get the better of her, swept away to church alone. And when service was over, she found herself surrounded by a little throng of devoted admirers in the porch. She had a smile, and a word, and a nod, or a touch of the exquisitely kidded hand for all, and, as she looked into the haggard face and blood -shot eyes of Cy- ril "nrevanion, she pressed into his palm a tiny note. As she drove away in the ee dainty Mite phaeton, with its high stepping ponies, she arched her slender eyebrows with a half -pitying, half -contemptuous smile. "Poor wretchl how drearily miserable he does look, and how absurdly he is in- fatuated with me. Thank Heaven, I have never known what love meant since I was a moon -struck girl of fifteen.

"Swear!" she hissed in his ear—"swear by all you hold dear on earth and sacred in heaven, to keep the secret ain about to reveal—swear!" She shook him unconsciously, in her fierce excitement. "I swear," "If you are what you pretend to be— Cyril Trevanion-1 know, of course, it would be sealing by own doom to tell you this.

"I swear." "Then, listen." She drew near, slip- ping her hand through his arm, and speaking in it rapid, hissing whisper. "Sybil Trevanion guessed aright when she surmised that I knew the secret of Monkswood Waste.

(London Free Press) aledical evidence in the courts has long tended to discredit itself.

The plaintiff himself was teen put in the box and teetified that there lied been no accident and tliat lie heti imposed on tee doctor. All of which weuid suggest that juries in actions for damages would be justi- fied in forming their own judgment of the extent of physical injuries. If the doctor has nothing on which to base his opinion, other than what the patient as well be told to the jury direct. BETTER THAN SPANKING Spanking does not cure children of bed- wetting.
