MIsFITs IN BUSINESS

Many men suffer from being misplaced
in business life. Could one but inspect
the records; of failures and disappoint-
ments throughout the business commu-
nifty he would discover that perhaps half
of these could have been changed into
successes had the man but been launched
on the career for which nature fitted
him. -.
tits astonishing how large proportion
OF young men, on the threshold of their
business life, are directed by chance, and
enter the wrong doer, when, if properly
guided, they might have chosen the
right door, that which would have led
them to success.
Doubtless great many of these mis-
taken selections of vocation occur through
too much eagerness. The youth, just
from school or home, is so anxious to
''get to work" that he eagerly seizes the
first opportunity offered, no matter how
unsuited he really is for its requirements.
Then, once in the rut, he lacks the
chance or opportunity to get out, and
remains misfit all his life.

A GREAT PHILANTHROPlST


have refused this man half a dozen times.
Why, she absolutely loathes him!
Whereupon Mary proceeded 10 give
Godfrey brief but concise account OF
Custance's former acquaintance with
Thorn Nugent, and her more recent meet
ing with him in the grounds near the
Park; the latter bore vastly different
complexion when recounted by Mary
Richards to what it had in Nugent's YER
sion. The mixture of astonishment,
anger, and relief on Godfrey's face was
almost ludicrous, and his visitor had
difficulty in maintaining the grave and
somewhat injured demeanor which she
had adopted.
Custance feared from something you
said to her that this man had succeeded
in vilifying her to you, she said as she
ended. l am sure you would not be so
unjust as to condemn her without any
proof. You did not intend her to leave
your mother, did you?
To leave! / send her away? Why, |
would rather
He checked himself and colored, while
Mary was discreetly looking at the table.
Miss Madison is under the impression
| that you wish her to leave, she continued,
and is making herself miserable over it.
! She has grown very much attached to
your mother and seems to look upon the
Park as home. l hope she will not do
anything foolish, poor child, and be
driven into accepting this Mr.. Nugent
under the impression that she will be
cast on the world again!
Mrs Richards was Intentionally max
ing the most of her case, but the immed-
late result almost took away her breath.
l shall 60 down tonight, Godfrey said
decisively. feel that I owe it to Miss
Madison to set her mind at rest; besides,
I should like little explal alton with

woman into marrying him, and then to
traduce her and lie about it as he has
done! Poor little girl! he added, under
f! his breath.

the few days she stayed with me, Mary
remarked as she rose to leave, and could
not bear to think of her committing

standing. That must be my excuse for

I do hope you will put matters right.

had not seen him at first, and, when he
did so, he was evidentally surprised and,
for one unguarded moment, annoyed.
Godfrey smiled little ominously as their
eyes met. Something in his eyes seemed
to explain to Nugent his presence and
his waiting attitude, for in the minute in
which the two men faced each other
silently each knew that he measured the
others strength.
The unexpectedness OF that wordless
challenge seemed to discencert Nugent;

the rein was unsteady. Now was the
chestnut's advantage, and, as if possessed
OF more than human sagaoity, he seized
, the BIT Instead Of answering the rein
the horse reared, grinding his hoofs on
tile rough stones of the street. Then
came a deafening clatter and "a confused
struggle as his great body balanced for
minute, and then, with" crash, rolled
over backwards, crushing his rider be-
meath him before either tie innkeeper or
Godfrey realised that he was down..
Good Heavens! Stubbs exclaimed, dash
ing into the road to the rescue. Mr..
Standard, help me drag, him off The
Squire will be killed.

his efforts. With mighty struggle the
great brute had regained his feet, and, as
he did SO, he struck into and trod upon
the helpless body of his late rider before
they could save him.
Stubbs and Godfrey bent over the pros
trate man with awed white faces.

horse fell-or whether the animals iron
hoofs had just dashed the life out of him
Thorn Nugent was quite dead. He lay
with his upturned face to the quietevening
sky, unmarried and as handsome as ever,
although his body was horribly crushed.
He's done for, Mr.. Standard! the inn
keeper calculated, raising the dead mans
head with trembling hands.

had the tragedy taken place that Stubs
and Godfrey were almost the only wit
nesses. But crowd soon gathered, and
expressions of horror intermingled with
questions as one asked another
What has happened? How did it occur?
The chestnut was standing little dis
tance away, and the hostler OF the inn
had managed to seize the bride. The
animal was still quivering. The man
was stroking the steaming neck, but the
poor brute still pricked his ears suspic-
iously and stared with wild eyes at the
scene of his revenge.
Take the horse awayI cried one of the
bystandars Indignantly. He ought to be
shot
It isn't the animals fault retorted the
innkeeper. He's had the worst OF the
treatment up to no*! Look how he's
been riddled with the spur!

scene rose from his STOPPING position by
the dead mans side and spoke decisively.;

would be any good.
It wouldn't-we have sent word there.

hand. You don't know what cause /

to interview him about Deep Sea Mis-
sion to which she meant him to subscribe
handsomely, and that gentleman in
broken boots hung on to his coat tails for
some yards, imploring him to furnish the
money for patenting an invention of his
own to develop the noses of infants.
CHAPTER VII
AS he journeyed in the train Godfrey
had time to think over the events of the
previous few days, and discover how all
the mistakes had occurred. Nugent had
had the advantage of telling half the
truth-or, rather, of misrepresenting true
facts-until it had been almost impossible
that either Custance or he-Godfrey-
could have disentangled fact from fiction
without Mary Richards's downright state
ments to help them. For instance, if
Godfrey had asked Custance if she had
really met Nugent in the wood, she must
have said EYES," and without further
explanation her concealment of the fact
would have lent color to Nugent's story.
Again, she had grown alternately red
and pale at the mention of his name, and
had become strangely silent when God
frey had first pointed out the Hall to her,
all of which lie had taken as proof of her
interest in the man. But now he could
understand it in another sense, and his
face grew unusually stern and set as he
thought of the persecution which she had
undergone.
He would arrive too late to see his ad
versary that night-which was pity,
Godfrey thought regretfully, as he looked
out Of the windows at the afternoon sun
light. For when he reached the station
for the Park it would be past seven, and
he was too impatient to see Custance to
do anything but go to his mothers house
direct Knowing that his mother dined
punctually at seven unless she knew that
he was coming down, and that, by the
time he reached the Park, dinner would
be thing of the past, he ordered din
ner-basket at junction, and ate his meal
in the train.
The landlord OF the STANDARD Arms"
which was only few minutes walk from
Middletown transcript., 1904-02-06

the station, started with surprise when
he saw Mr.. Standard walk in at such an
unusual hour.
Glad to see you back, sir, he said, with
cordial civility. Nothing to meet you,
sir? Didn't they expect you? Well,
was thinking myself that you was up in
London till the week end, at least.
am trusting to the resources OF your
inn to take ME to the Park, Stubbs, God
frey replied laughing Can | have a
horse? l am not inclined to walk.
Why, of course, sir! There's the brown
cob as fresh as paint. Dick shall saddle
him at once. But you'll have some dir
ner first, sir?
No, thanks! l dined coming down and
made a very good meal, tool I'd like
the cob as soon as you can get him round,
for Pm in hurry to get home.
While waiting he stood and listened,to
the innkeeper's gossip.
News, sir? Well, no-I don't think as
there's much news. All well at the
Park, 'ope? We 'av'nt 'eard anything
to the contrairy-nol But thought it
might be that as has brought you down.
1 saw the young lady as is Mrs. Stand
ards companion out to-day, but she was
only riding through the village.
All, indeed! returned Godfrey. And
had Miss Madison the groom with her?
Yes, strand Squire Nugent met her
in the village and rode home with her.
She's handsome young lady, added the
innkeeper, with jolly laugh, and might
have dozen to ride with her, it strikes
me. Seen the Squire's new 'orse, sir?
No, Godfrey answered absently, froW n
ing slightly.
'E's a beauty to look at, but vicious
temper, was Stubbs's opinion. He nearly
threw Mr.. Nugent the first time he got
up, but the Squire swears he'll break him
in or break his own neck!
Godfrey raised his eyebrows little
haughtily.
Not the best sort OF temper i'll which to
train horse, he remarked carelessly.
There's the cob, | see! Good evening,
Stubbs! I'll send one Of the grooms over
with him tomorrow!
The innkeeper followed him out and
held the bride while Godfrey mounted.
All right, Mr.. Standard? he asked
cheerily. Why, bless my soul, if here
amt Squire Nugent coming along nowl
He's been ridin' that new 'orse precious
'ard-the poor beasts covered with foam!
Godfrey turned in his saddle quickly,
and looked down the long struggling vii
lage street along which horses hoofs
