every day, but nothing diverted his
mind from the fact that he had been
thrown over by the girl he loved.
Charlie was attractive looking, very
slender, not very tall, with fair hair,
and a long, fair, twisted mustache.
All his life he had found his chief Joy
among his horses nnd his polo ponies,
and Highhier was the jewel of his
stables. Until he met Kitty, henever
had thought it possible that anything
could take precedence of High-hier i'll
his heart
Kitty had taken precedence in a
number of hearts. She was clothed
about as it We're with Il garment with
that intangible quality or gift called
style. If she had put on rags and
tatters, they wonld have at once
assumed an mir and n grace, but as her
papa was amply blessed with this
worlds goods, she was not called
upon to display her magic, and, in
stead, gloritied the pretty things that
clever people on both sides of the
world contriyed for her.
In addition to being stylish, Kitty
was pretty, with quantities of soft,
dark hair, blue eyes and singularly
brilliant teeth.
Don't talk to me about Charlie
Earl, | hate him. she said to her
most intimate friend, who had essayed
to probe her heart the day after the
engagement was broken, and the way
she rushed into everything that came
up for the next three weeks, and
firted with every man who came near
her, and allowed Harry Gibson, who
had been in love with her for year,
to devote himself to her, should have
convinced the most skeptical that she
cared absolutely nothing for her ex-
hance.
Then the races at the Hunt Club
came off. Everyone went in her best
bib and tucker, and Kitty, of
course, was there. She came
driving in to the Club grounds
in her phaeton, dressed all
in black-dainty, chifiony, Frenchy
black-with big, feathered picture
hat on her graceful head Beside her
was Harry Gibson, looking inetlably
happy
Charlie Earl was to ride in two of
the races-one for ponies, one for
hunters-and he was resplendent in
his pink coat, with little cap to
match, tight white trousers and black
boots.
Kitty bowed to him with elaborate
Indifference rs he rode past on his
pony, Dart, to the first race. and
she smiled scornfully with Il slightly
bored expression while the race was
being run, and when Charlie came in
far ahead OF the other racers.
"Charlie does ride WE'LL" exclaimed
Gibson, in generous admiration.
"Oh, he is rather good horseman. +"
said Kitty. what a sweet pony your
Kitty is, Mr.. Gibson. Why didn't
