home Maege had partially come to her
senses, and If Mr.. Carslake had made the
smallest overture to her would have kind
ly consented to forgive and restore him to
favor. But he made no such overture.
and again the young lady's ire was kim
died. They had to pass the rectory on
the way back, and Madge insisted on
wishing them gOod-by and going home.
June, being exceedingly veXed with her,
did not press her very eagerly to return
to the Hall.
Mr.. Carslake uttered not a word. Dal-
las was the only one who made any eff
fort to shake her resolve.
The willful young lady passed a very
unpleasant evening and night with her
own reflections. She had overacted her
part-had veXed and hurt the kindest,
dearest, best man that ever lived; she
would like to throw herself at his feet
and beg his forgiveness; she began to
despise her own cleverness, and felt quite
spiteful against Dallas for having lent
himself to be her tool. Never mind! all
should be changed on the morrow. She
would make the handsomest of amendes,
and would never, never behave so badly
again.
The next morning her eyes Enclosed on
a tear7stained landscape; the rain was
coming down in torrents. She intended
to have gone up to the Hall the instant
after breakfast, but the weather made It
impossible. At II o'clock there was O
slight cessation of the downpour and she
made a valiant start. Dow came the rain
again, but nothing daunted, she pursued
her way and arrived dripping with wet
at her destination. June met her in the
nall and Deckoned her into Toms room.
"Now," said her ladyship, with quite
unaccustomed severity, Il hope you ar.
happy"
'I'm not at all happy" answered
Madge, rather flippantly. II feel like q

"Mr. Carslake," proceeded June, too
much displeased to offer, with her usual
hospitality, to assist her cousin in her I'M
comfortable plight-"Mr. Carslake left
twenty minutes g And it is quite GER
tain that you will never see any more Of
him."
Madge turned CHASTITY white.
"Gone!' she stammered.
Eyes, gone. He made some bald pre-
text about a letter he had received, but
L have since ascertained that no letter
came for him this morning."
Madge flung herself into a chair and
sobbed as if her heart would break. Her
case was hopeless. He had not asked
her to marry him, though she had felt
certain he meant to; there had been no
quarrel between them that would admit
of her writing to explain or TO ask for
explanations. She felt that she had been
too clever and had outwitted herself and
broken her own heart.

revenue, In return for which they are
bound to furnish military service If
called upon. Beyond the possession of
a more numerous flock, finer %sheepskin
coats and a larger tent, it is difficult to
see what privileges are conferred by
rank. The expression, "a beggar on
horseback"-to denote a ludicrous or
homogeneous sight-would have no
meaning in Mongolia, for prince and
beggar alike ride everywhere.

to tent, drinking tea and gossiping, and
1t Is only In the autumn and winter,
when the cameis have to be employed
for transport service, that the Mongol
does any hard work. Every Mongol is
a born horseman, and he herds his
iocks Of sheep, goats and camels on
horseback, being able, 1t Is said, to keep
his seat even when intoxicated, as he Is
not infreQuently. Horse racing Is an X
tremely popular amusement, the num-
Der Of entries for each race being enor-
nous, and a kind Of polo is played | n
which the place of the ball is taken by
a fat sheep, held in the arms Of one Of
the players, from which the others try
to snatch 1t.
There Is, in fact, no circumstance Of
Mongol life in which "horsemanship
does not play a part. Courtship and mar
riage take place on horseback, a simu-
lated chase and abduction of the bride
constituting the ceremony Of the latter,
while ever in the last scene Of life's
drama the ruling passion strong In
death is frequently shown in the fun
eral obsequies. AS a rule, the Chinese
burial rites are followed in the case of
the chief lamas and princes, who,
placed in collins, are buried in tombs
on the steppes, before which the de-
scendants of the deceased have to wor-
ship as prescribed by custom. The
poorest people, and ever the lower Or
der of lamas, are, however, merely
taken out some little distance from the
village or encampment, and thrown in
some small %ravine, to become the prey
Of wild beasts or dogsTa custom com-
mon throughout both Mongolia and
Tibet. The bodies Of chief lamas are
usually burnt, and the ashes covered
by small mounds or cairns known as
"nobos'' or "obos," a custom partly due
to the Shamanistic practice of making
sacred heaps or cairns, to which it is an
act Of piety to add a stone.
The method of burial most congenial
to the wild free soul of the Mongol Is,
however, that which is so repugnant
to our Western Ideas, and yet there Is
something weirdly characteristic about
the scene. The dead man, wrapped In
his blanket, is taken from his "pourta,"
or felt tent, in the still hours Of the
night, when the cold air blows keenly

CHAPTER Xxx.

The year was waning, Christmas not n
great way off.
Sir Thomas and Lady Nevil had spent
two months at their northern place in en-
pertaining q succession of shooting par
ties. June had enjoyed this immensely;
she had, no doubt, a great love Of pleas
ure and excitement.
Madge had been a guest the greater
part of the time. She was not the same
willful, mirthful, mischievous creature
that we have hitherto known her. No
need to check the exuberance of her spir-
its now. She laughs and talks; outwarily
she does not give any particular impress
sion Of wearing the willow; but, as a
matter Of fact, she is desperately unhap-
by.
Three weeks before Christmas, Sir
Thomas and Lady Nevil, with their heir
II suite, left the north and returned to
the Hall. Tom was rejoiced to get back
to his beloved home. June was almost
equally pleased, and only one thought
cropt in to dampen her enthusiasm. That
was the thought of Agnes.
Several times during the homeward
journey June had hoped she would be
spared seeing Agnes on their arrival; it
was with a feeling Of unfeigned ~vexation
that, us they drove up to the Hall door,
she saw her cousin on the step to meet
them, arrayed in her sweetest smiles. Tom
greeted her with amazing heartiness, and,
TO behold her reception of his son and
heir, one might have imagined her a
mother parted from her long-lost child.
Tom insisted on her remaining to dinner.
and she accepted this invitation without
the smallest demur or any reference to
June. Her ladyship's Homecoming was
completely spoiled; the shadow which had
disappeared entirely from between her
and her husband doomed ominously over
them once more; she felt angry and i'm
patient with him.
AT dinner Tom was in the highest spir-
its. Agnes evinced considerably more
than her wonted chastened gayety, and
it was only June who felt vexed, discon-
tented, out of sorts. She could not be
pleasant to her cousin, and she was an
grily conscious that Agnes infinitely pre-
ferred her displeasure to seeing her in her
usual mood.
Al ten o'clock her ladyship hoped, with
some GOODNESS, that her cousin would ex.
cuse her, and Agnes jumped up, exclaini-
ing, with an air of regret:
rs 1t really ten o'clock How the even.
ing has flown! l did not think It could
be more than nine. Did you, Tom?"
NO." answered Sir Thomas, heartily,
only too anxious to make up for her lady,
ships visible GOODNESS. "Time flies, you
know, Aggie, when it's spent pleasantly"
1T does indeed" responded Agnes. IL
must go home. or course, Tom, you are
tired after your journey, and / must not
be selfish enough to take you out to-
night"
But Tom swore he was as fresh ms a
daisy. and that he should like nothing
better than to stretch his legs n bit.
Then Agnes deposited n bird-like kiss
on June's cheek, which made that fair
lady grind her teeth with disgust and
~repugnance, and the pair set of gayly to-
gether.

Robinson's Reason Seemed to Need a
Good Deal of Bolstering UP.
Robinson, l never saw yoh smoking
a cigar before" said a Chicago man to
an acquaintance whom he Ihad met in
the street. Robinson looked a trihe con-
fused, but proceeded to give his reason
for using tob, 2. HIS explanation sug-
gests very plainly the French proverb,
which is, In English, "He who xcuses
himself accuses himself"
81 got into the habit in a curious
way" he said. 81 used to smoke once
or twice a year. One day while I had
a cigar in my mouth, l accidentally
scratched a small wart on my hand
my hands were covered with them
and some Of the ashes got into the
scratch. In a few days the wart went
away. That seemed an easy way to
cure them, and l tried It again on an
other wart. That one also went away.
SO l kept at it.
Every few days l would smoke an
other cigar, scratch another wart, rub
the ashes on the place, and in due time
it would go away. l don't say the plan
will work with everybody, but it did
with me. That's how"
But when they were all gone, why
didn't you-Oh, 1 see. CY9u still have
some to remove. Why don't you treat
all of them at onceT"

saying what l thought would naturally
please a sister," remarked Mr.. Carslake,
gravely.
You have offended me very much" re-
torted Madge, with unwonted petulance.
Il thought you had more discernment. All
our lives June and l have suffered from
Agnes sweetness which had the delight
ful knack of making us look in the wrong.
NO doubt" a little culver coming into her
voice, when you have seen "a little more
of her sweetness, you will come to the
conclusion that l am not at all a nice
person."
That | shall not" he answered, and
made as though he would take Madge's
hand, but she eluded him.

Yesterday was C. w. B. NJ. day at
the Campmeeting. In the morning
Dean Sanderson gave his Bible study
as usual. At II a m. l.. F. Stevens
delivered an address. In the after
noon the ladies had entire control Of
the convention. Many interesting re-
ports were read from the various
churches, showing that the ladies Of

active in missionary work. Mrs. NJ.
q. Hines gave a summary OF the
work done by the c. W. B. N. They
raised last year for missionary pur-
poses $4,000, which was a great work
for 10000 women.
In the evening Mrs. Hines delivered
an address on WOman's WORK in thu

it the best thing in the convention
thus far. The women are most fOrtu-
