Wes t On Home." Lord Reginald took a rapid glance ab his watch and found that he was barely in time for the ball. Ho hurriedly gathered up his lettere and disappeared. When he arrived, the ball was at its height. Lady Harcourt's balls are always a. suecees in every way. Lady Emily eat there, growing ner- vous and watching every entrance. She evidently was expecting his lordship ev- ery moment, Lord Reginald was • bow- ing right and left to friends, then find, ing one young lady hot engaged joined in the dance. This ended, he excused himself and stepped, to the great win- dow, whose heavy curtains eoneealed him, He was thinking how he could ex- cuse himself from Lady Emily to go to the wine eupper with the actress, Ger- aldine Heiden, when voicee reached his ear, To have stepped out beside them would ha,vo been awkward, and the voices sounding strange, he decided to remain where he was a few moments. "My dear, try to be more sociable. You are certainly haughtier than the English girls and they are proud, en- ough, dear knows." "I am somewhat disappointed that Lord Wedderburn did not come. Lady Emily thought he would eertainly be in time for the ball. I am sure he will please you -young, handsome, and rich as he isi" • "Aunt, I am not so susceptible as you think. I am bored to death with your English gentlemen. I decline most emphatically to be paraded before them like a fine animal to be purehased. I am too mu& an American. I don't eare a snap of my finger for Lord Wedder- burn nor any other lord here, and if they seek my acquaintance, perhaps I will be introduced; if not, I shall miss that honor." Thie conversation did not end here, but Lord Wedderburn did not hear any more, He was astonished that it refer- red to himself. He knew at once they must be Lady Marchmont's guest, for the younger one was certainly the Am- erican. No English girl would dare show such spirit. It wee not to be thought of, and no well brought up English lad could have spoken so defiantly. "Gad, ehall take a peep at that pert mime," Lord Wedderburn to himself as he look- ed through the curtain. Them in full view sat the speaker, • and Lord Wedderburn never dreamed of such a vision of lovelines as that which met his eyes. "Don't *are a snap of her finger for me," he thought.; "well, 1 will show ray lady that I am not such an ogre, after all." There before him sat the unconscious object of hie Minton Small, dark -eyed, dark-haired, and saucily independent was that beautiful unknown, clad in an exquisite dress of pale -green and filmy old lace. She was lovely; but those Objection- able American marmers were too much. "Didn't care a snap of her finger about meeting me; if I prayed her lady- - ship perhaps she would accept an intro- duction. Well, we will see about this," he said, following them from the room. They joined Lady Emily almoet as he did,then with a gratified. smile Lady Emily introduced them. Then followed an exceedingly formal bow from Lord Wedderburn'with a haughty bow from Miss Staunton. "Stiff, proud Englishman," thought Miss Staunton, "Haughty, impertinent American!" thought Lord Wedderburn, while Lady Emily looked on, sadly bewildered at the expression of their facee. After joining in the dance, Lord Wed- derburn's pride melted away. He enjoy- ed it, Miss Staunton could dance divine- ly, that my lord must admit, and now, when he thought of her words of indif- ference, he was amused and piqued. It was now midnight, and. Lord Wed- derburn must elteuse himself, for he would be late at the Haldens, and she could make him decidedly uncomfortable If she tried. Even as he bade Miss Staunton .goodnight, he longed to stay. Somehow he felt that this American girl, with ail her independence and in- difference,. should be taught a lesson, and that he ought to stay and .teach her. The wine supper at Halden's did not seem so attractive as formerly, and a sense of disgust stole over him. There vats always a crowd of fashionable fast men there. There was always wine - drinking and gambling, and. Heiden pocketed her cheques so avariciously. Smirking and tanning upon him, leading her companions to believe he was her dearest friend, While, the truth was, she was as old as his mother. Her daughter was almost his age, but he seldom no- ticed the daughter at all, feeling an overwhelming sense of disgust that the daughter should take part in theee re- vels and bear the coarse jokes of these wayward men. Weston Home Was there. An exciting game progressed. After the entrance of Lord Wedderburn, every one gave way for him, and his reckless playing soon told, for his cheque-book Was now in constant. use. Wine flowed freely, and the Heiden smirked and pocketed the cheques. Lord Wedderburn drank wine freely and lost heavily. The daughter of Mme. Hoiden looked on enjoyinglya and the men. exchanged broad jests. A sense of .disgust filled Lord Wed- derburn, but be had not the power of will to stop; and when the cloek chimed four, Lord Wedderburn's pocket wits lighter by hundreds of pounds. As he summoned his carriage, he felt the ne- cessity of ending this acetteiritance. "Women, are tte uncertain as April ehowers: One courted, flattered end al:Di:eyed over him, the other did not ease a temp of her finger fov liim, and, gad! the American ie right, for I am unworthy.'" Thus thought Lord Wedderburt led to this conclusion by the amount of wine he had drat*, end the effect of the cool tight air on it sobered him item evils at. Night after uight he met Aliee Statin - ton, whose eharming manlier and gen- uhse friendship attreeted him its no other woman's bad ever done, As soon as Lord Wedderburn entered a room his eyes immediately wandered over the throug until they found her, the object of hie teasels, then it gled, happy look illuminated hie foal. He would 00011 find his way to her side; and this liap noted eo frequently that Lord Wedder. burii had lost hie heart to the fair Ant- erieart. Lady Emily Starchmont wee delighted. She had been a Leen observer, and Wa131 doliAllied with iee, hresecetive Marriage of Lord Wetiderinztal and her yotmg friend. A few clays later a letter was receiv- ed at Camtle Royal that intereeted and pleased Lady Herne. She would heve preferred Kane English girl, hut no doubt the American was all to be wishe ed for, since Lady Emily was pleaeed. The cold, proud mistress of Castle Royal unbent for Ante from her ley seer" erity, and long afterwards all the ser- vante could remember this once when lady" spoke to them with a voice th.at was sweet and musieal. , Night after night Lord Wedderburn attended the card parties and euppere at the "Hoidens." Dieu night he heel decided not to go, and each time his cousin, Weston. Home, urged him, and he -went. His admiration for Miss Staunton be - •came settled and deep, and this very in- iluenee made him resolve to cut Mme. Hidden and all her associates. Since he had known Mies Staunton, he bad grewn to wonder how he could have been ix) eateily led by such people, and he had become indifferent to their en- tertainments. For several weeks he had not gone, then there mune a note requesting a call, This he obeyed reluctantly, and found there the usual crowd, and he lost his usual large sums of money, until it somehow became noised about that Lord Wedderburn wee, in a sorry in- trigue with Mme. Hidden, and that he had lost .enormously, etc., and i retailed Lady Emily's ears. Lady Emily was exasperated as she had a rieCht to be. For a time Lord Weelderborn kept his rooms and *aid he was ill; but the reports were that he drank too m:uch wine at Mme. Halden'a suppers. • Days now went by during which he did not see MSS Staunton; but his admiration for her had grown into love; and he had decided to ask her to be hilt wife, when he received a most urgent summons from Lady Emily, which he obeyed. at once. "You have alraost deserted us, Lord Wedderburn," tho said in her iciest tones. "1 ha.ve been Ill, aunt," replied. Lord Wedderburn. "lanes& of course, mut be excused; but if Lord Wedderburn should see fit, to neglect my friends that he might as- soeiate with the actress, Mme, Maslen, then I have a right to be offended, have I not, my lord?' If a. thunderbolt had fallen at his feet, Lord Wedderburn could not have been more astonished. He was simply speech- less. How could his aunt hear all these things. They must be publie property, certainly. "We may as well speak plainly, my lord. I dislike bandying words. I in- vited you to pay attention to my friend in hope that you would be attracted to this girl, who would be my choice for you. You have attended that most dis- reputable person's parties -have drank and lost money freely. In the meantime Miss Staunton has been courted and ad. - mired by all -especially by Sir Philip Marsden of L-, and in my opinion you have lost a most pleasing allianee by your bad company." Lord Wedderburn did ent respond. He was simplv crushed. In all his life he had never been so near in love, and now to hear that while he Watii waiting a time to pleaee his own fancy, another wins the prize. He was stunned and miserable. "You will realize that the game you are playing is a dangerous one, and you will find. it so. It is in the power of a woman to elevate one to the great- est heights or drag one down to the low- est depths of degradation. A young man may keep his reputation and. h.ave such associates for a time; hut the time will most surely come when his name will be tainted by contact with theirs." "Aunt, I had intended" -was all he could say; but the words were freighted with hope. What a load they removed from Lady Emily's mind! Then he had intended winning Miss Staunton for his wife! Perhaps it was not yet too late for their dearest hopes to be realized. "Then it would be well to settle raat- ters at once" suggested Lady Emily, and strange io say, the words were full of comfort and hope. Before he left the room Lady Emily had a solemn promise that Lord Wedderburn would propose marriage` to Miss Staunton, That Lady Home had been kept well advised of all matters, prospective or otherwise, was clearly proven by her arrival won after. One evening a few days latr Miss Staunton canto in flushed and. happy from a canter over the moors. Her bright face was all aglow with happi- ness. The continual roand of dissipation had, as yet, left no trace on her fair face. Lady Emily SAW her and resolved. to have a confidential talk and ascertain his position be/ore Lord. Wedderburn should make his formal de,claxation. Lady Emily had that Peculiar knack of fraternizing, and becoming tenderly oonfidential. No one refused to talk plainly to Lady Emily, being sure that her dear, good. heart would prompt nothing but kindneess. "You will come to My boudoir, will you not, dear?" she asked, and Miss Staunton followed her at once. When they reached the ioonawith its dainty furnishings and the bright fire burning in the grate, each took a seat for a comfortable chat. In her most delicate way Lady Emily handled each subject, until that of mar- riage was mentiotted. Lady .Emily was perfectly fitted. for her task; but ehe would take no mean advantage of. her friend. She woald epeak plainly. "Do you know, dear, that I was ex- eeedingly anxious to have my nephew fall in love with you?" geld Lady Heftily. "With inel" asked MSS Staunton, raising her pretty eyebrows. "Certainly, with you, dear; why not? Is it not natural, loving you its I do, and he being so dear to me, that I should think of this Miss Staunton looked steadily at the coals, and beat a elm tattoo with the too of her slipper. She was thinking deeply. In her heart she admired Lord Wedderburn; but there Wee no tender love there.

Ao yet he had hardly made up her mind, That he had no right love for Sir Philip, she was quite sure, but she did. not for a moment think her feelings toward Lord Wedder- burn were other than thoee of friend- ship. That same evening. Lord Wedderburn made it hurried call on Lady Emily. He had pioked up his friend, Captain 11—, of the Coldetereams, who awaited him in a cab at the door. Lord Wedderburn was ushered at once to Lady Einily'e sitting -room, "Don't trouble, aunt -only stopped a, moment to say that I would call this evening. Just wanted. to get Mies Staunton'' permission. Am I not st dutiful nephew when I tell you that I have decided to settle my fate at once?" "I fear you are too late, Reginald," said Lady Emily, sadly; "I would not advise you to do so lentil matters adjust themselves. I sadly fear you are too late." "Men you think Sir Philip has pro- posed and been accepted?" tasked Lord Wedderburn. "That he has pronosed I am sure; that he has not, had .an answer, I am equally sure, but I wish Lord Wedder- burn to be certain of his position. Noth- lng so injures a man'e standing as to have it number of girls refuse him. just wait to please me, will you?" Lord Wedderburn found himself for once in his life occupying a secondary position. He, who had always been Bret, was now seemed. His pride was sorely wounded. He hastenede at onco to the eab and his friend, Captain 11--. "Where shall I put you down " he asked of his friend, the captain. "I WitS going to the Halden's again," he anowered. "By the way, the very horror of that woman and her set at- traets me. Only going for a short time -come and go too, can't you?" Now, why shouldn't he just go this once more Itt a short time he would break -svith her and her whole set. This he had decided to do. His friend easy Ids slyinte hesitation. "Iond a short stay. We can leave early and go to the" Carleton Club." It has been truly 'said that "he who hesitates is lost." The two men went once again to the home of the actrees. They had scarcely left the home of Lady Emily when another fly drove up. Its sole occupants were Lady Home and her maid .Her visit was wholly unex- pected to Lady Emily -but Lady Home's face wa6 radiant with pleasure. If there was a probability of her son's marriage, was it not meet and proper that she should know the object of his choice? She had not been content to remain at home and await developments. * * * * There was a scene of revelry at the Maiden's, wine flowed freely and in the face of every man there eould plainly be seen drunkenness. Lord Wedderburn had, no usual, drank more and lost more freely than any other, He was in that comfortable etate of -intoxication when everything took a roeeate hue, the world became a paradise, and he beamed over with good nature. He had even condescended to smile approving- ly at Madame's daughter Rene, and to address much conversation to her in his most urbane manner, That he had ren- dered himself utterly disgusting, he did not find out until a few days later when he received the following note: "I am surprised since your most fere your engagement with my daughter but you should have absented yourself for such a length of time, and I am eon - strained to believe you would have kept your engagement with my daughter but for Illness.

He had gone, in a state of intoxleation, to the rooms of his friend, Captain 11—. When he read the note he hold in his hand, he was amazed! What did that woman mean by writing that stuff to him? The declarations to her daughter Rene! He Wee utterly astounded at such Impudence! He puzzled his mind trying to think over all that passed, but his thoughts ran riot. It was only left for him to question the captain. At that moment footsteps were heard and the captain entered. "What does this mean?" he asked, rheanting him the note, which the captaln a "I am sure I tatst say, unless Mad- ame regards you as a prospective son-in- law, and means to hold you to drunken words." "Tell Me all that passed. there?" asked Lord Wedderburn. "I was so beastly drunk myself that I haven't the least idea, Home, save I have heard the boys say ou talked some rot and nonsense, and. Madame proposes to hold you to it." "What a d—d scoundrel I have been!" taid Lord Weadorburn; falling hack on hie pillows in a state of utter collapse, which really made him very ill, and he was not aroueed. from this isotNavtioteu:ntil later, when he read the fol.

The education must be continuous, not spasmodic, One lesson a week or a month is useless, because- in the interim he has largely forgotten his previoue work. There is no better stable for a colt than a box stall, but if allowed to run in one of these he should be tied in a narrow stall for a few hours each day, because it is important that he become thorough. ly familiar with being tied. A colt that is not halter -broken and tied when young, often gives trouble when he is • needed for work in life, and he has to be put through his education thoroughly, the halter, the bridle and the entire har- ness being introduced to him in one day. Such colts are very often stubborn and hard to break, and can it be wondered at? Having been allowed freedom so long, they rightfully object to such usage. Many halter -pullers and bad- pered. horses result from such treatment. Do not attempt too much at once, but take the animal to do carefully and well everything you attempt with him.

The cult should be driven until he is tired the first time he is hitehed. It is not advisable to ex- haust his energy, but it is important that he become tired, especially if he is a spirit animal.
