CHAPTER Kill


Lord Harold Erskine had never been
to stay at Endon Vale since Winifred
had lived there, and this was the only
reason Lady Grace ever had to regret
her presence-it kept the nephew whom
she loved away. Once, when she had a
letter from him, she read it., and sighed
heavily as she laid it down. Winifred
understood what the sigh meant. She
summoned up courage the next time they
were alone and said:
II know you are unhappy because you
do not see Lord Harold, Lady Grace.
Please let me go away somewhere for a
time and let him come here, if he does
not like to meet me-"
81 do not think, my dear, that he minds
meeting you so much as that he fears
his presence might make you uneasy"
'Oh, Lady Grace" cried Winifred.
"why should you-why should he think
of me? Am 1 not here from your kind
ness and charity? I was only too much
henored by his ever thinking of me; but
he will have forgotten me now, and why
should we not meet as if such a thing
had never happened?"
Il will tell him. Lady Grace said; and
she wrote to him that very day, begging
him to come.
The next day he arrived, to his aunt s
great delight. The meeting between him
and Winifred was cordial and unaffected.
The restraint wore off, and they relaps-
ed into an easy friendship; at all events,
the young lady did.
eOf course, as soon as Lord Harold
heard his old friend Enrol Hastings was
at the Court he betook himself at once to
see him, although he was coming to din
ner the following day.
81 shall most likely sleep at the Court
tonight, aunt, and we will ride over to-
gether tomorrow morning. Or course,
he stays here the night?'
''Of course, my dear" and Lord Harold
rode off. The day seemed little dull to
Winifred after he had gone. She dreaded
seeing Mr.. Hastings again, particularly
before Lerd Harold; and then she wen-
dered if her name would be mentioned
between the two men, and il SO, what
they would say about her. Mr.. Hastings
had an unpleasant recollection of Mr..
Clayton's remarks about Miss Eyre's
Irritation with Lord Harold Erskine, and
an uncomfortable sense of the latter's
present golden opportunities; and Lord
Harold remembered uneasily that some
thing had been said about Hastings and
Miss Eyre wandering together in the
HAZEL woods. By common consent, then,
her name was avoided as much as possf-
BILE, and the two men had pleRty Of other

Not Prepared.

The other night at large dinner
in Washington, D. c., when Major
General S. B. M Young was called
upon for speech, the guests expected
that he would simply content himself
with stereotyped expression Of ap-
probation of the compliment, and af-
ter somewhat incoherent excuse
would. sit down. But the general rose
to the occasion.

his eyes over the length and breadth

de sac. l had not expected to speak
on this magnificent occasion. But,
gentlemen, IL I had expected to say
anything. should have spoken some
what as follows" and at this juno
ture one arm of the old veteran plung-
ed into the labyrinths of his coat and
produced a carefully prepared speech,
which he proceeded to read. The apol-
ogy for his unpreparedness, and the
evidence of the painstaking way in
which he dressed his remarks in ad-
vance were too much for the ban
queters, and he was forced to sus-
pend his remarks until the uproar was
over.

MOSQUITOES IN LOUISIANA.
They Are Many and Active, and One Ia
a Mon~fer i'm Siz.

Monster in Siz..
"You may talk about your mosqui-
toes up here in the North" said a resi-
dent of Bayou Sara, 'but if you should
spend an hour or SO fishing in some of
our Louisiana swamp bayous you
would wonder that you ever complain
ed of Eelr New Jersey or Sta ten Island.
mosquitoes as an instrument of torture.
There are eight or nine different va
rieties of mosquitoes hatched in those
dark and noisome swamp bayous, and
no matter which kind samples you you
will wish it had been some other kind.
for it will seem that no other kind could
bite quite as bad as that one. There are
gray mosquitoes-long, gaunt, wolfish-
looking fellows-reddish-br brown mosqui-
toes, black mosquitoes of a blush cast
and one that is nearly green. The one
that will strike you as the most for
midable is one we call a gallinipper
down there, and it resembles that
harmless insect both in size and make
up. 1t is easily half an inch long in
wide, and kit in which it carries it's
tools that is as long as it's body.
''This fearfully equipped insect mon
ster has saw, d gimlet, a lance and
a suction pump. As he can bore through
your boot and puncture your foot with
ease and dispatch, you may well imag-
inc how much protection clothing or
gloves are against his assaults Fortu-
nately, though, this giant mosquito
lint poisonous. The damage he does to
your physical comfort is done by his
boring and saving and lancing of the
flesh. That hurts like pounding your
thumb with a hammer, and leaves a
spot that will be sore and tender for
days.
'.All the remaining eight varieties are
full Of venom and vim to get it where
it will do the greatest harm to the
greatest number, but the worst of all is
the smallest one of the lot This is
gray mosquito, not more than an eighth
of an inch long, but every place that he
sinks his stinger in on you will instant
ly rise up as big as hickory nut, turn
as red as fire and pain like a hornets
sting. AS the reservoir containing that
larger than fly speck. the vrulence
of it MAY be imagined.
THE experienced person never goes
fishing in those mosquito-infected
bayous," continued the Louisianan, ac-
cording to the New York Times, 'sun-
less he has his head and face incased in
netting, fixed ON a light steel frame,
and with thick gloves on his hands.
Gloves, though, are no bar to the big
gallinipper mosquitoes kit of tools.
"Why does any one go fishing in those
noisome places? Because the fishing is
always good, while it never is in the
open water bayous of Louisiana. Perch,
bass, jackfsh, as the pickerel is called
down there. and other fish of fair game
quality are abundant in those dark,
sluggish, root-tangled waters, and the
enthusiastic angler is willing to dare
the mosquitoes and other poisonous
denizens Of those swamps to obtain a
few hours sport with his hook and
line"
