CHAPTER III,

Edward Champley, who has taken
UP his stand beside the piano in ex-
pectation Of a musical treat, does his
best to look cheerful under the inflic-
ton; but his most determined efforts
at politeness cannot prevent a faint
CLEAN of hope stealing into his eyes
at the end Of each variation. Even
once he ventures on q rapturous
"Thanks!"-it is when, to his horror,
he sees minor key arrangement of
the air looming up before him; but
Shell only glances up for a moment,
and says quietly
ooh, haven't half finished yeti"
Whereupon her victim offers an apol-
ogy and smiles sickly smile, as he
vainly tries to count how many more
pages there are to get through.
And, whilst Edward is enduring his
self-inflicted martyrdom at one end of
the room, his brother Robert is being
f1attered, petted and little bit lee
tured at the other end by Ruby.
1T was really too bad of you to stop
away from Champley House so long"
she says reproachfully.
Robert Champley looks at her for a
few moments before making any an
swer. Unfortunately for Ruby's
scheme, he is man who generally
stops to think before he speaks, even
on trivial subjects.
Il shouldn't have come back now
if it hadn't been for the children" he
says at length, with a sigh.
Ruby catches the echo of that sigh
and is all sympathy.
mo one knows better than how
very painful your return home must
have been to you," she remarks, in
low and almost faltering tone, whilst
her white eyelids veil her eyes in
seemingly sad retrospect.
Again he looks at her; then some
what coldly gives utterance to the one
word, "Thanks!" as if she had made
him a speech which, though distaste-
full, must be responded to in some way
or other.
II hope you found the dear children
all that you pictured them?" pursues
Ruby softly.
"Yes-oh, yes; they are merry little
crickets, and seem just about as happy
as the day is long," answers Mr..
Champley, whilst softening smile re-
lakes his somewhat stern mouth.
at is a terrible charge for you,"
observes Ruby, her tone and looks
full Of the most profound pity.
How so?" asks her companion, in
evident surprise.
Ruby feels somewhat taken aback.
"Oh, it always seems to me such an
impossible thing for a man to know
about children's wants or ways!" she
replies, with little head-shake.
Robert Champley gives a slight
laugh.
Il assure you, both Bob and Meg
have neither of them any scruples
about expressing their wants." he says
gaily; land, as you know, am very
fortunate in my old housekeeper, Mrs.
Tolley-she is a perfect mother to the
whole lot of us. The babies have a
treasure of nurse, too-a sensible
middle-aged woman; so on the whole
dare say we shall rub along very
we'll"
II don't believe in any servants be-
ing treasures" remarks Ruby skepti-
cally; land, besides, your children
must be too old now to be left entire
ly to the charge of servants"
edo you think SOP" asks Mr..
Champley in bordering tone. "That
is what have been rather afraid Of
myself. Bob is just seven, and poor
little Meg five"

French coschers in France.


We are indebted to Messrs. Nc
Laughlin Brothers of Columbus, Ohio;
for translation Of the comments made
by the great French critic of horses,
NJ. Louis Baume, on the government
purchases Of French coach stations at
Caen, October Fl. 1899. Out Of nifty
seven animals submitted for approval,
twenty-five young stations classed as
trotters were chosen and purchased for
the aggregate sum Of 245,000 francs
($49,000). The collection includes many
sons and grandsons of Fuschia, Cher
bourg, Juvigny, James Watt, Harley
and Reynolds. NJ. Raume says, among
other things: II believe If the reputa-
ton Of Harley as great stallion is
to be saved in the future, it will be by
alliance with the daughters of Fuschia,
who will bring to him the qualities
which he lacks" Sans Gene, a SON of
Hercule Normand out Of Olivette by
Cherbourg, who had record Of 1885
per kilometer (one-third Of q mile) was
purchased by the government for
$1,000 francs; Rocambole, whose record
was 1876, and who is son Of Juvigny
out Of Lutine by Serpolet Bal, was pur-
chased for 1900 francs; Rouges Ter
res, four year old chestnut, by
F'uschia out Of Pierce Neige by Cymbal.
who has record for 1886, was pur-
chased for 1900 francs. Messrs. Nc
Laughlin Brothers write that they were
fortunate enough to eecura tho h..+
horse shown at Achats de Caen this
year. and that their recent importa-
lions are the best lot Of French coach
ers they have ever had. They are
nearly all the, descendants OF Cher
bourg, Fuschia, Reynolds and other
stations representing the best blood Of
France.

ttOry of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able 10 do her own work." This

be made of a man whose special duty
it will he to look after the interests

Probably the best speech made at
the congressional convention in
Duluth was delivered by Senator
Buchanan. who was solicited to
place in nominat ton Hon. A. l..
Ferris as a candidate for district
delegate to the Republican national
convention at Philadelphia. "Buck''
was feeling In the best of spirits, and
tossed few oratorical bouquets
that induced the delegates to howl a
few. OF course. in this country you
couldn't beat Ferris with club;
and the way he was presented came
pretty near making Morris a second
choice in that convention. 1t Ia
possibly fortunate all around that
Ferris was satisfied to stop at Philar
delphia, and not go on to Washing
ton.
