WHAT MR.. CHINsToN SAID.
His resolution taken, Brian did not let
the grass grow under his feet. but rode
over in the afternoon to tell Madge OF his
intended departure.
The servant told him she was in the
garden, 80 he went there, and, guided by
the sound of merry voices, and the silvery
laughter of pretty women, soon found his
way to the lawn teunis ground Madge
and her guests were all there, seated under
the shade of q great witch elm, and watch
with great interest, single handed match
being played between RollestOn and Pater-
son. both of whom were capital players.
Mr.. Frettlby was not present, as he was
inside writing letters, and talking with
old Mr.. Valpy, and Brian gave a sigh OF
relief "a he noted his absence. Madge

laugh. 81 shall certainly inform Mr.
Rolleston about you, Brian, if You make
these gallant remarks"
Here he comes, then" said her lover,
as Rolleston and Paterson, having finished
their game, walked off the tennis ground,
and Joined the group under the tree.
Though in tennis flsnnels, they both look

racket down, Mr.. Rolleston followed its

''It's way you've got" said Madge,
with q laugh, as she gave him glass filled
with some sparkling, golden colored liquor,
with large lump of ice blinking musi-
cally against the side Of it.
Hes not the only one who's got that

been supplied with similar drink.

turning his face away from her "and, as
it's about some important business, must
