III.
1t might be tedious to retail all the folly
that fell from the lips of this trio as under
Freddy's guidance they pursued their way.
Their united years did not make up the
sober age of sixty, and they had the spirits
of schoolboys out for holiday. Lord
Gleneore had never felt so much at his
case before; none of those who in society
knew him would have recognized him as
the same shy individual. The hours flew
like minutes. 1t was o'clock when they
thought it 3; and then to have looked at
the time would not have occurred to any
body, only that Peggy, heaving tremen-
dous sigh, had supposed it would soon be
time to think of returning home.
The horse was so good st going, we have
omitted to state, had at certain small hos
telry, "Goat and Compass" by name, shown
signs of rebellion Stir from that door he
would not, and Lord Glencore, to cut short
the difficulty, had proposed that they
should leave the brute there to get feed
while they took stroll in the park.
Returning from this walk they passed
the 1Star and Garter"
81 say, dinner in there wouldn't be
half bad fun" said Freddy.
T "Oh, l don't think so, replied Glen
core.
'Why, have you ever been there p
"Yes, 7 dined there twice this season
with Lady Jane and your sister"
And chill ran through the young man
as he recalled the dreariness of those solemn
ordeals
"Oh r said Freddy, drawing in his back
as if about to succumb, while Peggy burst
out laughing.
A bright inspiration came suddenly to
Glencore.
"Why shouldn't we stop here now?" he
said, shave dinner, and go home after?
Freddy and Peggy came to a sudden
standstill, absolutely dumb with the bril-
liancy of the proposition.
THAT'S what we'll do" continued the
enthusiastic Glenoore; and he made as if
to turn in at the door, but Peggy stopped
him.
II don't think we can, and she looked
at Freddy significantly.
"No," came the answer, trife crest
fallen. 81 expect they wouldn't stand
tick in there, was added by way of ex
PLANTATION.
"That isn't of any consequence TO you"
exclaimed Glencore 'It's as my guests l
invite you. Think how often your mother
has entertained me.
"Oh, I'm not proud" laughed the de-
lighted Freddy. "Isn't this frst-rate, Peg?
Come on"
But Peggy still hesitated.
II don't know whether l ought
whether its quite right with you, and,
though her face-w turned to both, her
eyes were fixed on Glencore.
"And l your uncle that is, exclaimed
Freddy, "and he going to be. Shut up,
do"
And, considering this speech to be con-
elusive, Freddy cut short further discussion
by at once turning into the hotel.

minutes later the three, Lord Glencore be-
hind, Freddy driving, and Peggy by his
side, were on the road to Richmond.

Well, if any dinner ever was success,
that one was What they had, or how the
courses came, not one of them knew, but,
to quote Freddy, everything was Al, and
plenty of fizz with it. Undoubtedly the
fizz set all their tongues running faster than
before. Gradually on Freddy it began to
have a slightly composing effect, so that,
the dog-cart having been sent for and
brought to the door, he magnanimously in
sisted that going home he would sit behind
and leave the ribbons to be handled by
Glencore.
The clock struck 9. before they were
fairly off, and then, Peggy exclaiming at
the lateness of the hour, Glencore said:
"But it won't matter much, will it p
"No," said Peggy a trife bitterly.
"Harris knows I'll look after Freddy, and
there's no one to bother about what becomes
Of me-,
"You have neither father or mother,
have you?"
Glencore put the question gently, and
not Waiting for her answer, went on to tell
her that he too had lost his parents when a
child, and was, like her, lonely, with no
one to care for him.
"Yes," she said, abut you're man
with lots of money, and I'm poor and de-
pendent; and then it's horrid 10 be girl.
Ever since 1 can remember I've heard
nothing else but all owe to everybody, as
if it was my fault that | owe anything to
them. 1 can't help having been born.
Here 1 am, and until l die here l must
stay Not dependent, though. I've only
waited to be taught something, I've had to
owe that much to grandmamma,
Lord Glencore remained silent, and
thinking that probably her troubles were of
no interest to him, Peggy changed the sub
iect. Directing his attention to Freddy,
now silently sleeping, she managed to prop
the lad up into more comfortable position,
and assented to Lord Glencore's remark
that he did not seem like the rest of the
family.
Then silence fell on them, and for time
not word was spoken. Suddenly, as if
from out of what she was thinking, Peggy
said abruptly:
care you very much in love with
Adda?"
al I'm not in love with her at ALL y
IN, '-----;arr To marry her?"

A Brave Engineer.

HOW RUDY sERFAss SAVED LITTLE GIRL FROM
HORRIBLE DEATH.
Easton Spec al to Philadelphia Telegraph, May H.
RUDY SerfasS, passenger-train engineer on the
Lehigh Valley road, has gone through narrow pas
sages OF railroad life, has had numerous narrow
escapes, and has frequently displayed great brav-
cry. But the noblest act OF his life occurred last
evening, while returning from Pittston with a
train OF which James Johnson, OF this CITY, is the
conductor. After roun1tpg curve at Port Griffith
at rattllng speed, he saw a dark object In the
distance, which at first seemed to be a dog. He

girl sitting On tie at the edge or the rail. The
child's life was In peril, and the speed of
the train was TOO great to con-
troll. Rudy quickly applied the air
brake, reversed the lever opened the throt-
Tie, and dropped sand on the rolls The
passengers We're bounced from their seats by the
sudden jar, and windows were quickly raised and
heads went out. Just as the engine was about to
strike the girl she looked back and saw the engi-
neer wave his hand for her to lean forward She
the last driving-wheel at her side. Heavtng a
sign OF relief, Rudy closed his throttle leaped to
the ground, picked up the little girl and carried
her across the track to the arms OF her mother

grieyed as any one over Hatchs DEATH He was
not jealous OF the brokers attention; In fact, he
had q high appreciation OF Mrs ScOfield. Coroner

really why Ferris had employed detective to
shadow Mrs Scofeld and Mr.. Hatch, but the wit
ness would only say that he did II for fun The
agent OF the Rhinelander estate, which owns the

Mrs. SchOreld was feaT1ully excited when this
damning evidence was given She talked 50 loud
and In such an angry tone that the coroner had 10
tell her 10 keep quiet She threw up her veil and
glared at the witness, who Is handsome, respect

worried. and leaned over TO say something 10 the
woman, but she would not listen TO him Mrs.
Sconeld was called TO the witness-stand and she
acknowledged that she was the women who

that Hooper made her present OF the pictures.
