the qui vive. Prospective contestants had been riding and training many weeks for the great event, and among their mum Der were the most daring horsemen of the time.
 Poor Sydney sighed as he saw the sturdy figure of Bolton passing along the streets, riding like Rupert, until the foam on his Gappled gray made her almost white.
 When the morning of the great day came no one had less idea of entering the list than Sydney.
 But the genial man who had taken him into his employ. and affections as we'll, had a card up his sleeve.
 He came forward smiling, and said:
 Sid aren't you going to enter the lists7"
 Sydney looked at him in amazement The thought had never occurred to him-and moreover one could not ride in the tourna- ment on clothes horse. His wide eyes said as much.
 Take 'Ceph and show 'em how to ride, boy
 Wonder upon wonders! Everybody knew that the old gentleman held Buceohalus as sacred as the white elephant of Siam but there was no mistaking the genuine ness of the suggestion, and Sydney hur- riedly made up his mind.
 'Ceph was a clean-iimbed animal. with a coat as black as midnight, at once spirited and gentle. who had been brought to perfection under the law of kindness.

seemed to have partaken of the spirit of the contest
 There could be no possible doubt that such was the case with Ducephalus as he bore his rider along, and ball and ring were respectively cut down and car ried away.
 It was the third and decisive run. Ev- cry eye was strained towards the dapple gray. At the signal she leaped from the post. so suddenly that for a. second Bol- ton wavercd in his seat. He had scarce ly recovered himself when the hurdle came. and he reeled again. Both anger and panic shone in his eve. There was an evident nervousness in his arm as he the ball. The keen saber passed entirely over it and blood spouted from the right ear of the gray. The errlng blade had cut of that member sheer with the ami malls head.
 Rearing with pain, she leaped far to the left, and in d moment was plUng- ing among the spectators who found stsndinS room around the guard rails.
 While the attention of the spectators was diverted for a time. the flashing coat of the black shot down the course over the hurdle as if 1t were an ant hill. close in to the ball, which toppled at the touch of Sydhey's sword, close to the suspended ring, which in an in- stant was poised on the tip of the rid CTS blade.
 A mighty shout went up from the grand stand.

Sydney of the furrows had won the last tournament
 The tournament ball presented a strik- ing picture and Q touching contraa. It was held in the hall of the old Capitol building, which. by the fortunes of pol itics, had become deserted. The seat of government had recently been removed and the noble old structure seemed like a Lear of wood and stone. Stephens had pleaded there; Toombs had thundered there. and many another of the elouuert men of the State had made it's old walls echo as if they shouted applause All were gone now. There were rooms where the bats lived and corridors where one might easily imagine that phantoms walked at night.
 What contrast then, when it was walk ened by this scene of splendor and sound of mirth! Mistleto and holly and bam- boo, like the good sons of Noah, covered its nakedness. The oak floor, which, luckily, had not decayed, had been waved to mirrorlike gloss.
 For more than an hour the guests had been arriving, many of the fairest of the countys fair women leaning upon the arms of knights who still wore the colors that had fluttered in the lists. The hour brought consolation. even for defeat.
 The figures of the Virginia reel were forming and fugitive bars from the violins announced that the time for the revelry had come.
 But who was to be the Queen of Love and Beauty? This natural speculation led

 wonder what he will be like?''
 But woman proposes and man disposes mutual friend-Captain Winton by name-came laughing to her. Such a joke he said; "I came across Hamlyn just now. and l told him you were on board, and he absolutely refused to be in- foduced to you He says he took this voyage for absolute quiet and does moi want to be disturbed by any designing females" '''''s A dark flush rose to Natalie's cheek.
 Does he think I put that announce ment in hoping to entrap him?" she asked with her beautiful eyes blazing
 He Is afraid of meeting you" said Captain Winton maiciously to Natalie
 lie expects you to make a dead set at him."
 Natalie's lip curled. "Is he coward. too?' she asked, Well he will have to stand any amount of fire for I assure you his expectations will not come up to the realization"
 The smoking saloon was growing too hot and close. Even Lord Hamlyn aD- peared on deck at last

longs to youth of his age. It did not feed very ravenously on his .damask cheeks for they remained round and rosy but he did not conceal his love. The beauty of the sunny Southerner on whom he had fixed his affections dazzled him. He felt that loving her was the desire of the moth for the starr No wonder for there was many a suitor who rode up the long drive leading to the big colonial home where Fanny Benton's father held baronial sway, and Sydney knew that If he won the attractive daughter of the house it would be from worthy foeman.
 Sydney bided his time as patiently as might be. but he never lost sight of Ben- 1amin Benton, Esq He was simply Ben In tite neighborhood, for he was a dashing fellow, slouch hat but erect of bearing. ready for fight or foot race, but readiest of all for a horse race. That was where he was most at home.
 'I don't know many of your characters In fictiOn." he would say but God knows would like to have been Mazeppa, just to try one fall out of that horser'
 And 1t was Ben on whom the modest youngster kept his weather eye.

 She laid her head down on her arms on the little reading table and sobbed, while the dog pushed his nose against her cheek in a mute expression of sympathy.

 He flew upstairs to his room, closed the door and paced up and down with clenched fists and set lips The mirror on the bureau reflected a white, strange face unlike his own.

 Margaret began to weep loudly with in coherent protests.

 It was q very thoroughly closed domi- cile that Alfred Saylow contemplated from the pavement, when. at half-past four, he watched a withholding girl take her departure.
 Rlarsarets fears had grown to frightful dimensions during the last two hours, as she heard the enraged man of the house tearing about and fumbling with locks. Now he stood giaring after her and jing- ling a big bunch of keys. Surely 1t was q fortunate escape.
 A short but impressive note was lying on Julia's little writing desk for her ed ifcation, in view of the time when she should gain adnittance. Her husband looked cautiously about, mentally noting such articles as might be used for bat tCring rams. He was quite positive that his better half would not delay opera tons.

 So that is why you married me? Not because you loved me, not because 1 was the one woman in all the world for you, was it-answer me-"
 Something in her tone startled him and, to his credit be it said there was some little shame in his tone as he answered.:
 "Oh, there is no use being tragic about it. Of course I was fond of you"
 "Of course you were fond of me.

 The process of elimination was swift In less than half an hour Sydney ana his rival in love. were the only contest- ants. The feelings of the spectators were intense.
 Bolton was the first to go to the post and at the given sign2l started off like hurdle: with skllful swing of his sword he struck the wooden ball from its peg and dexterously caught the ring which came next in the course. Loud cheers greeted the successful feat.
 If any nervousness had existed. every trace of it vanished as Sydney settled himself in the saddle. The noble ami maPs black coat glistened in the sun as he shot down the course There were two swift glints in the air after the hurdle was cleared The hall and the ring had been taken with incredible swiftness. and the shouts rose louder than before.

Thoughts of Julia, of the girls of little Will-a strange medley of their loving ways and tender words and kindly acts, of the home-comings and h"" c-GDng of the past, of the trustful look of the slender-faced bride of the long ago the babies faces the burdens and joys borne and shared, rushed through his brain.
