A TALE OF THE RED PIKE.


A TALE OF THE RED PIKE.
81 thought I should find you with
the girls, Mr.. Goodwin. You should
have been with us. We've had such a
scramble over Honister Crag, and
brought back no end of flowers for Ger
trude. But one thing must say-that
fellow Losford is q jolly muff, though
he doesn't look it. just a funk, girls,
and nothing else. Will you give me
some tea, Mrs. Godwin?'
What nonsense you talk, Bob!''
cried his sister, conscious by some femi-
nine instinct that her friends face was
hotter than a moment before: /" You
are a perfect naauvais eaafant bursting
in like that. I wish Mr.. LosfOrd would
teach you manners.
I'd like to see him try. 1t would
take pluckier man than he is. WHY,
he wouldn't come within yards of the
edge, Mrs. Godwin!''
He showed his usual good sense.
Master Robert" was the lady's tart re-
ply. She had her reasons for
looking favorably upon Walter Los
ford, .of Losford Court, Mon
mouthshire, by no means the least
honored guest at Mr.. Godwin's lake
villa. And they were very CHEEKY
and pleasant party, the pleasantest set,
Gertrude thought, that her mother had
ever got together, and Gertrude was q
young lady of decided tastes and some-
what difficult to please. Even Bob
Marston, when he was not saying NAL
apropos things and appearing where he
was not wanted atinopprtune moments,
was as amusing as any other Elton boy.
Nevertheless, at this moment two peo-
pie at least were ardently longing to
make his ears tingle.
"And what is tne programme for to-
morrow, Mr.. Godwinf' resumed the
young gentleman, not whit daunted
by the unfavorable reception of his last
remark. 'Can we picnic on the Red
Pike? 1t would be jolly fun
The host hummed and hawed; he
rather preferred an open-air entertain
ment at a place accessible In an open
carriage. But if you have q house
among the mountains, up them YOU
must go. The climbing disease is in
fictitious, and there is no evading it I'M
til by permanent residence you be-
come proof against its attacks. Mr..
Goodwin would have to succumb sooner
or later.
