like that before"
The speakers were Mark Hartbrook and
Jane, his wife, host and hostess of the
Whinridge Arms, Thornford. The scene
of their anxious interview, their own small
snuggery behind the bar, the time of it, IN
evening in April. The Thornford Hunt
meeting had taken place that day, and il
was now after dinner, with the stewards
and their friends in the principal room Of
the Whinridgc Arms.
Hartbrook had abundant cause for am
iety. The Squire, of whom he and lis
wife spoke, handsome Gustavus Winridge
of Thornford Hall, was their landlord, and
Marks former master. A warm hearted
generous-natured fellow, imbued with old
world ideas of honor, he was, unhappily
for his personal peace and the habitual
comfort of those with whom he was brought
in contact, handicapped with hot head
and spirit that brooked not the least con.
tradiction.
''He and young Dykely arc flying al
each other, Jenny; and how the row will
end, don't know"
"What are they disputing aboutl"
"Why, the Hunt Cup"
'But if Dykely won, he beat nothing
from the Hail."
"Thats nothing to do with it. The
Squire means micchief tonight. Go 1t |

shook above his head with unusual VIC
lence. 81 know whose hands at the other
end of the wire. must go; if anybody
else faced him at this moment something
dreadful would happen.
Hereupon the bell was shaken with aug.
mented ferocity.
"All right. I'm coming, Gustavus the
Terrible"
With which satirical observation Mark
Hartbrook vanished.
The scene in the dining-room as mine
host entered was literally one of admired
disorder. Half dozen men were speaking
at once, and two members of the company
were accentuating their rem arls by means
of gestures that betokened anger. One was
the Squire, who had risen his height-up-
wards Of six feet-and was standing with
his back to the. uncertain mirror at the
presidents end OF the table, confronting,
with flushed face and dangerous eyes, his
opponent, Captain Dykely, a thin-lipped,
dark haired, wiry man of pallidcomplexion.
The voices could scarcely be said TO mingle;
Whinridge's was at the top Of the entire
discordant chorus of expostulation. He
turned as Hartbrook entered, and, passing
one hand through his yet luxuriant curls-
in color slight grizzled auhurn-he folded
his arms across his chest, aud said-

ting 10 sportsmen.
Among the funny things are the
verses "Ah Lo," with two cOmical
pictures by Hopkins, and the curious

scRlsNER's MONTHLY FOR JUNE.

THE catholicity of Scri6ner's Month
" is well illustrated by the June num-
Der, which must certainly appeal to a
wide range of literary tastes. For
lovers Of light reading there are papers
on "Rocky Mountain Nights" (both
poetical and practicaD; "Spring Here
abouts," i. e., in New York and sub
urbs, with illustrations; "Thackeray
as a Draughtsman," with over thirty
reproductions of the novelist's sketch

paper from an American point Of view !;
"My Friend, Mrs. Angel" humor-

current political interest is appealed to
by H. ]. Raymond's journal of ''The

and deals with Peters first marriage,

THE Springfield Convention passed

THE Springfield Convention passed
off tOlerably harmonious after all.
There was no bolt. The Grant men
had control by over 100 majority, upon
temporary organization. The Cook
county trouble was settled by the COM
mittee on credentials, by allowing 36
Grant men and Sc Of the opposition,
seats in the convention. The forty
two delegates were instructed to vote
As q unit for Gen. Grant. The Grant
men have claimed from the first that
their favorite would have the solid Ill
inois delegation, and the result of the
convention shows that they were good
prophets. The Blaine and Washburne
men do not seem inclined to bolt: that
is they did not bolt, and the question
il finally settled. The Blaine organs
have been claiming all along that the
Illinois convention would be virtual
settlement of the Presidential nominal
ton. We believe it is, and that Grant
will he nominated on the first ballot.

From the Abilene Gazette.
From the press, and from letters
from all sections of the State, we are
pleased to know that the prospects of
Hon. T. c. Henry's nomination for
Governor are growing stronger every
day. While all admit that Gov. ST.
John is an active official yet there is a
very general feeling that he ought to
be satisfied with one term, especially
as he was very active in bringing about
the precedent in Gov. AnthOny's case.
Hon. T. G. Henry will worthily and
ably fill the pOsitiOn-and the Gazette
hopes that his successor will be Hon.
John A. Martin, the able editor of the
AtchisOn Ch0DlpiOn-and this we say
without any knowledge whatever as
to the Champions choice for Governor
