then mounted himself.
They rode through the gates into the
yellow autumn sunshine and the sweet
soft air, and Erica looked over TO ihe
sea. lying so placidly under the golden
haze Of light, and drew a long bleath,
as though she would fain cast of the
weight that oppressed her, and, aided
by the influence of sunshine and an,
and exercise. she was more like herself
during that ride than she had been Tor
weeks.
Although Philip st, John regarded
the Rington races with that sort OF
rood-natured contempt which denizens
Of cities are apt to indulge towards
country gatherings, they were by no
means so looked upon by the county,
and the gentry always came, and the
bets ran high on the "fayorlte' III aTls'
tocratc county cotelles.
Not few sporting London men came
down also, and honOred the course WIN
tbeir presence and the horses with their
patronage, and several Derby winners
had been known to make a promising
de5,t on the Rington turf.
Not only the ground outside that
charmed line of ropes dividing the
course from the outer world was crowd
ed with the motley throng which races
| ALWAYS attract, but the grand stand
for Rmgton Boosted this glory-Was al
so well filled with spectators, and there
were three drags from some OF the
country houses, and a great many car
riages of all descriptions, ana seVetaI
men and their fair companions were on
| horseback.
When Philip and Erica rode on TO
| the ground, their appearance caused
quite a sensation Both were unmlS'
takahly of patlician order, both were
singularly handsome, and were tault-
lesSlv mounted, anl-Still greater at
traction-to the vast majority they both
were strangers. and Philip laughed and
Erica colofta slightly at the notice they
excited, and the comments passed Oh
them.
"Who are they;" said Lord Chestnut
daughter, looking after them as they
rode by.
He was a county magnate, and sent
horse to RinCton always, to patronlze
he said. the good old sports OF England
and no doubt il was in furtherance OF
this l3udah,e object that The heir anC
hone OF his house spent so much money
on that crown and centre of old EnglsI
sport-Epsom Downs.
