was not more hostile to order and law than arc
these calumnies against the courts.

True, few golden fragments were re-
covered by grinning heaters and keep

part of the stuffing, but the rest, in
thousand pieces, was whirled away by
the wind over the moors, never to re-
unite. There was no doubt on that
score. Louisa's bun, as a bun, had
simply ceased to exist.
But who shall describe the agonies
of the unhappy loser of the bun?

deer-stalker. She clutched it; she
clapped it on her head; she tied the

that, poor, shame-stricken Louisa!
Would that it had buried her from

On the first opportunity she slipped
away unobserved from the shooters,
and made for home. Nor was she the
only defaulter from the party. Sens1-
tive, short-sghted Wellington was
too thin-skinned to bear the merciless
chaff with which he was assailed on
all hands, for his little mistake. He
snatched up his gun and departed in
fever of rage and modification.

saying that she attached herself to
Buckley, who, indeed, encouraged her
to do so by the tender affability of his
manner. Clad in choice sporting

of keeping sharp eye on Weddings

the latter should perchance be moved
to point his barrels in their direction.
All went we'll until about half an
hour before luncheon. Then Char
lies eye happened to fall upon Lou
isa's black hair, and he noticed some-
thing.
"Pardon me-" he said, with polite
considerable ''You will think it kind
of me to mention it, I'm sure. One of

both hands to her bun in fine fuster.
''No; you have not quite hit the

straight in front, and Buckley stopped
flirting with Louisa to polish them

anguish. The cause was almost too
obvious. Just then had como

The next days weather, as our
friends had predicted, was equally
and blusterous, though otherwise fine,
Most of the sportsmen grumbled at
the wind a good deal, as sportsmen
have a way of doing; but Sturtivant
and Buckley viewed the outlook with
equanimity. In the course of break
fast the latter, who had taken a seat
next to Louisa, said to that lady in his
most engaging tones:
'You are coming out with us this
morning, Miss Siggers?'

simpered, looking extremely pleased.
