HALL MARKED"

II don't see that you need to take ii
so much to heart, Miss Errington!
Brothers are not much good, after all
For my own part, / never look near my
sister when she comes out hunting. In.
deed, only think it a nuisance that
she is there ut all. But we'll all look
after you. You may follow me if you
like"
Tho ali conquering air OF the tall, good
looking man who comedies this supreme
favor to the pretty girl standing beside
him is almost eXcuS0blc. Nature has
indeed been kind to Captain Jack Les
ter, for Pandora's box can hardly hold
a better prize in the eyes OF most men
with Anglo.Saxon blood in their veins
than the absolute distinction he has won
at every sport he has turned his han
to-.
To say he was a good man across
country was understanding his case;
his reputation was almost European,
and people WHO had never set eyes on
him talked about Jack Lester as II he
were public character. His light,
active, well proportioned frame, his
keen eye, his quick intelligence, and q
happy mixture of discretion and daring,
put him in the foremost rank, while a
most satisfactory balance at his bankers
helped to keep him there. lie rode, OF,
principle, the best horses TINT money
could. buy, he did well for himself, and
withal was enough of a good fellow for
all men to speak well of him. The girl
to whom he now addresses his CONVEX
sation, and who, in the smartest Of
habits, is warming her pretty hands at
the huge fire, built half way up the
chimney in the dining room at Moreby
Hall, is Miss Cissy Errington.
The rest OF the party are already hard
at work at breakfast, but these two still
loiter and talk together, and discuss the
iniquity OF Miss Cissy's brother in
throwing her over and going up to town
for the day, instead OF plotting his sister
over "big places" in Blankshire. They
had a kind OF look OF each other, as they
stand there side hSa side, inasmuch as
both are fair, slim and well favored.
They both have faces that are n pass
port to the good will OF theirfellowmen.
The girl, indeed, with her complexion
OF lilies and roses, dark blue eyes and
ripping hair, is downright lovely, and
the severe lines OF a we'll made hunting
habit do not detrub from the grace Of
her tall slight figure.
"You had better get on with your
breakfast, Miss Erungton; ewagonette
will be round in no time" says the mas
ter Of the house abstraetedly.
He is q man who hunts every day OF
the week, and the morning hal: hour
before starting for 1.-The meet is all the
time he has to spare for the mere sec
ondary affairs OF life unconnected will
sport. There is now huge breakfast
to be finished, a telegram to beanswered,
two letters to be written and glance to
be given to the morning paper, before
it is time to be off. At Moreby Hall
hunting is the business life, and all the
ladies are in habits and the men in red
coats.
Miss Cissy comes to the breakfast ta-
BILE, aud Captain Lester also, but 1t is a
little man with square, honest face,
and square, somewhat awkward figure
