her. To forgetl
Was there ever so straight or so black a
gown? 1t is hideous The wonder is that
she can look so we'll in it. A sad thought
comes to her. Perhaps she has forgotten
how we'll she could look
A longing to see herself once again as she
used to be takes hold of her. That gown
she had mentioned to Brenda-it won't tax e
her five minutes to put it on-and then she
Still filled with the gaiety that her cous-
in's coming has created, she runs upstairs,
pulls open one of her trunks and in little
time has arrayed herself in her costly laces.
The desire to perfect herself draws her still
further; she unIocks- her jewel case, and
covers her throat, and hair, and arms with
the magnificent diamonds inherited from
her mother.
Ske peeps at herself in the small glass
that lies on her dressing table Pouf! 1t
is quite inadequate. How can it show her
to herself all at once, as it were? Why,
she might as we'll have no train, no body at
all from the waist down; all she can see is
just face and neck and part of her arms.
She remembers suddenly the long glass
in her own sitting room, wherd she had
been mentally abusing her black gown of
servitude little while since. Why not
run down to it. At this hour all the servants
are engaged, and Mr.. Drayton is of course
wandering. gun in hand, somewhere miles
away. The thought is father to the deed.
Flinging long silk tur-lined cloak over her,
she escapes down to her own sitting room,
and throwing back the cloak there, looks at
herself with surprised amusement and
honest delight in the old-fashioned mirror,
! that had been some time or other set into
one OF the walls

and certainly Rhoda's ''mynd" at this
moment stands her in good stead The
very gayest mood is on her. She steps up
to the glass and then backward, and tells
herself that there truly is joy in living.
eff Tom could see me now" says she.
And at the thought she laughs "What
would he call me, wonder. Madam Con-
ceit, no doubt. But certainly 1 always did
like this gown" She laughs again-freely,
merrily, this time-and raising both her
arms makes little effort to subdue the
small wandering locks upon her forehead
''They get beyond me-" says she. "See
what it is to have no maid! Why, in the
old days -"
Suddenly the laugh freezes on her lips
She turns from the glass and towards the
door as if shot Her hands still cling to
her head, she has indeed forgotten to take
them down.
''Mrs Clarke" cries Drayton from out
side. There is laundering knock at her
door. "Mrs Clarke can see you? 1 have
forgotten something"
A stifled cry escapes her. He evidently
accepts it as permission to enter, and throw
ing the door open advances quickly into the
room. ,
Not very far, however 1t is his second
shock to-day, and, undoubtedly, it is greater
than his first He abruptly closes the door.

long dark cloak is lying that had covered
her as she ran downstairs He checks her

only be matter of time until Wolseley ac-
complished his downfall. WolseieY lost
but little love on Roberts The disposition
of good judges to class Roberts with such
men as Won Moltke and Sherman, to the
exclusion OF Wolseley, was not relished by
the latter, who liked to hear himself termed
"England's S only General"
General Roberts is really one of the
bravest men that ever donned British
uniform. The army dispatches and the
camps teemed with stories of his heroism.
He is quiet, unassuming man of great
height and strength. He is greatly liked
by his men. notwithstanding the fact that
he was one of the strictest of disciplinar-
ians. He never spared man or beast when
the occasion demanded: yet his soldiers
knew that he always worked, it anything,
harder than themselves, and was ready at
any time TO share the privations OF his
army. The British service owed much to
Roberts, and it is certainly great injustice
that jealousies of his superiors are permit
ted TO work to his detriment. But, what's
the use Of talking about injustice? Is not
the world full OF it?

CHAPTER XIV.
For my heart 10 set
On what hurts me; l wot not why,

On what hurts me: wot not why,
But cannot forget
What love, what sing for and sigh.
Perhaps a few tears run down her cheeks
behind those pretty fingers, but if SO they
are very few, and she is soon smiling again.
An idea occurs to her that she would like
to see how she is looking-that is, how she
was looking when-he-they were with her.
What a dowdy old gown. She makes
little grimace at that. but then what
lovely face above it! Just now, sparkling
as it is with excitement and Joy and delight.
Where can its rival be found?
Love was an hungred for some perfect
To praise her with.
The coming of her cousins seems to have
renewed her, as it were; wakened up old
thoughts, and driven perforce glad smiles
to her lips and eyes. In measure-a
sense-they have demoralized her. The
housekeeper is forgotten; the slim, stately,
pretty creature who had made q trium-
phant progress through her first season is
alone remembered. This one touch of the
old life has made glad her heart
She looks at herself again. The glass
looks back at her. After all, she tells her
old gown she is possible And, if SO, how
had she looked in the old days?
How merry Tom had been; how pretty
Brenda! (Brenda's gown was a dream.
How sympathetic dear old Gerald Yes,
Brenda's gown was delicious
She glances once again at her own gown,
at its dull straight folds aud immaculate
collar aud cuffs; she makes second little
moue, not so good natured this time. Well,
it is the regulation thing, of course. What
a pity she had not thought of adding cap.
A cap would have enchanted them.
Somehow there is but poor mirth to be
got out of that cap. Is she never again to
wear dress like Brenda's? Soon. no doubt,
she will forget how she used to look, when
silks and satins and laces were allowed to

Don't Abuse the Old Horse.
MISSOURI
kfRKSvILLE.

If the old faithful servant thas
has worked for so many years is
not quite as strong or fleet as In
years gone by, perhaps he is
worth as much to you as any body.
Good care and generous feeding
will make even an old horse more
valuable than if starved or abus-
ed. If your business requires
Younger or smarter horse flesh
keep the old one for the women or
children to drive. Old acquaint-
ances are often safer than new
ones. If you cannot keep both,
give the old one to some old
farmer, who you know will be
kiud to him, with the promise
that he shall not trade him off to
some brutal master, but will keep
him as long as he is worth keep
ing, and then kindly lay him away
where he will be beyond the
reach of hunger, cold and pain.
Many an old horse, if he knew
his situation, would thank his
owner to take away his life as a
burden too heavy to bear. We
have got into the habit of being
both too careless and too cruel to
old horses in this country. We
owe it to them rs our servants, as
we'll as to ourselves as human
beings, that we see to it that our
horses are not necessarily abused
or neglected as soon as they begin
to show signs of old age.
