Ebe Drop Of Tanspoor

His Lordehip was globe-trotting and
g. tting tired of life on the P. and o..
stopped month at Tangpoor. He was
good fellow not bit OF a snob. and
took to the men at the club from the
first. The little dinners, and a few of
the dances he enjoyed. The ladies pos
sessed individuality, and the girls were
jolly and could thisk for themselves.
His Lordship detested the conventional
girl.
But the one thing which he enjoyed
above all others was the fox hunting
He was an enthusiast on hunting, and
when he fouEd tina. there were some
really first class horses, and that the men
would take them over five or six barred
gate. Or a nasty ditch without thinking
any thing Of it, he made a mental note
that mis- stay should be prolonged un-

only one time in the history OF fox hunt.
ing in Tangpoor when q woman failed to
follow man at any thing. and that il
excused by the fact that she was not Of
Tangpoor. but merely visitor who had
stopped over for a week on her way
home.
o: all those who hunted. none took so
much pleasure 10 the sport as Dora Car
ven. She was little slip Of girl, only
nineteen, but che could ride, and her
father had given her, her choice of his
stables. 1t was pleasure to see her 60
sailing over hedge with her veil stream
irg out behind, sitting on her horse firm
ly. and laughing 10 her self from pure
happiness.
His Lordship had been particularly
pleased with her riding, until one day as
they were almost to take gate her horse
grew spunky and stopped short. His
LOrdship went on over and stopping,
turned about and waited for her. She
knew her horse however, and eaid, IL
can't do it, meaning che could not
make her horse 60 over. He frowned,
for he thought she was afraid, but open
ed the gate for her to pass and several
others who had come up at this time.
Dora did not like what had happened
but hoped that at the next run OF the
hounds to make up for it. 1t happened
however that bis Lordship had casually
mentioned TO one Of the men at the club
that he feared Miss Craven was losing
her nerve, and OF course in time this
reached her ears. She stamped an
angry foot and shut her lips tightly.
That afternoon che did no 60 to the rice,
but sat in her room thinking-and
pounding potted rose all to pieces
with her whip. Finally plan evolved
itself, and gathering up her skirt she
ran out upon the back vera-da.
Bring out Jim" she cried to one Of
the stable bays. And in five minutes be

Ter, which vas Dora's chief pride and
best hunter. She examined him all
over, carefully feeling his firm. shiny
legs until she was satisfied that there
was not weak spot about him. Then
she mounted and put him over q low
hedge or two on the lawn aud q wall
that was sunken for foot or two. watch
ing him closely all the time as he took
tine jump. After half an hour of this
kind of work she took him back to the
stable boy. When she went to her room Z
she was smiling. but nevertheless she O
