termined tdbucceed- you could have
known him in those days, you woufdn'ti
have thought him commonplace. And
even now, if you'll give him hint Of thei
superhuman part you expect him to,
play, he'll make brave attempt to risei
to the occasion. I'm quite sure J.
shouldn't do it, though, for fancy that,
IN gaining your demi-god you might lose
pleasant everyday acquaintance"
sThen I'll not do It, / promise you;
pleasant acquaintances are not so plen-!

to experiment with them, not even for
the sake of restoring a cherished Idol" -
Having obtained foothold at "Thei
Laurels," Ringbrand made good use of
his opportunities; and as Hester came,
TO know him better she began to forgive
him for breaking the idol. AS Ludlow
had foretold, there was no limit to the:
colonePs hospitality; and from stroll.
ing up to the plateau at irregular inter
vals after supper, Ringbpand soon fell.
into the habit of spending the greater:
number of his afternoons at the home of
the Latimers, and Hester soon found'
herself looking forward to his visit as:

reranda steps.
I'm going to carry you horseback,

ming down the steps to meet him.
He looked askance at the two thor
oughbreds, and tried to summon the
courage to say that he knew less than
nothing about horsemanship. I'm,
afraid you'll find me sorry cavalier,
Miss Hester" he demonstrated.
"Oh, Pluto Is gentle; anybody can,
ride him." she rejoined, gathering her!
skirt and standing beside her horse.
"Will you give me hand pleaseP"
Having, in his stories, had frequent
occasion to describe the dexterous man,
ner in which gentleman assists lady
to mount, Ringbrand knew precisely,
what was required of him; but, unfor-i
tunately, the ability to portray dexter
ity in virile English does not necessarily
imply its possession by the artist. He
