CHAPTER v


Babette's arms and back ached almost
beyond endurance, yet the brush con-
tinued to play over Pauline Malling's
hair as it hung in Iuxuriant profusion
down her back. Pauline was deep in
thought, for the Duke of Bennoir had
just sent her the exquisite bunch of
roses she held in her hand, with the lit
tie note lying open on the table, and she
was making up her mind as to whether
she should accept or reject the offer she
knew he would make when he called by
and by.
did l look really well last night,
Babette?" she asked.
''Mademoiselle is irresistible when she
chooses" murmured the French woman.
Miss Mailing again relapsed into deep
thought.
IF l could only be sure of the past
remaining the past, if l were only GER
tain that ugly facts would not turn up
unexpectedly to face me, l would marry
this poor creature with a title-I would,
If only to save me from myself. Surely,
after six years of safety and prosperity,
am never going to be such an utter idiot
as to risk loss of everything, because this
poor painter is good looking and charm
ingly candid. l hate myself for my
weakness. Only ten days ago I began
this Irritation for my own amusement
and to annoy that big-eyed, pale-faced
child, to give her a few unhappy hours
as a set-off against the perpetual anxiety
her mere existence causes me, and, before
l am certain that either of these purposes
is accomplished, l wake up to the humil-
10 lad fboh I -,
own trap, that for the first time in my
life l have fallen in lover
She burst into scornful laughter, so
startling Babette that the ivory backed
brush few out of her hand, and she
stood with round eyes and open mouth
regarding her mistress face In the glass.
What is the matter with you? Why
are you staring at me like that?"
By an effort Babette recovered her
usual subdued, respectful expression.
81 feared mademoiselle was not well, -
she murmured, apologetically.
Nonsense! Go on with your brush
ing, and do not take notice of what does
not concern you"
"She is a very catp' Babette said, con-
6dentially, to the brush, as she picked it
up. II should like to know what wicked
ness she is plannig now"
perhaps it is not to be wondered at,
after ALL" Pauline unused. He is so
different from the men one usually meets
so honestly simple, so bright and true,
so sensitively honorable. l believe he
would marry that chit in spite of me if
the release did not come from her. 1t
shall! If l cannot have him. she never
shall! On that one point my mind is
fully made upr'

place as mistress of Mallingford."
Il suppose you knew her at once by
her likeness to her motherT'
Strange to say, we didn't, sir! To be
sure she was very Ill, for her father had
been dead six months before she heard
a word about being heiress to this prop
erty, and all that time, to keep herself
from starving, had been teaching In some
Spanish convent. But even as she re-
covered her looks we watched in vain for
something In the voice or the expression
OF the face that should remind us of her
mother. There are the same beautiful
hair and eyes, and there the likeness
ends"
DO you say she never knew about
her heiress-ship until after her fathers
deathT'
Yes sir. She says he would not tell
her because he was afraid she might be
tempted to leave him. l believe they
We're in dreadful straits sometimes"
1t must have been wonderful
change for her when she came here"
1T was indeed, sir-so great that she
can never to this day bear to recall that
dreadful time, and refuses to talk about
it to any one

they can be attached and suspended to
the side of the horses head. This does
not give the horse any freedom to
move his head without moving the
bag also. A Philadelphia man has pat
ented an exceedingly simple feed bag
which overcOmes this fault, an illustra-
ton of which is shown here. The bot
tom and sides are made Of canvas or
other flexible material, while the top
consists of a circular frame divided
into two sections, which are connected
by small loops. Supporting the bag
are two metal rods, one on each side,
having hooks at the end which fit into
the loops in the frame. In the center
and at the other end of the rods are
circular loops which are shaped to fit
over the shaft of the vehicle. 1t can
easily be seen how easily this could
be done, the bag always remaining In
position where the horse could con-
veniently reach the feed, at the same
time being able to move his head free
~ This feed bag has the additional
advantage that it can be folded I'D
when not in use.

Ethel looked at her father as if she
feared his reason had given way.

You have always known me as a hard
working drawing master, and of course
concluded had never been anything
else. My dear, that Mallingford Park,
OF which Jack writes so enthusiastically,
is mine by all just laws of succession.
But my elder brother, the late owner, cut
me off with shilling because l annoyed
him about a triting matter, and left the
whole property to my niece, your cousin,
Pauline Luton"
And 1 am eighteen, and this is the

Yes, and most likely the last, for it

now if l had not felt extremely annoyed
with Jack for his ungentleman-like neg
lect during the past week. You are as
well born as this cousin of yours of
whom he raves, and l will not allow him
to slight you in any way"
Daddy, will you let me manage this
matter myself? You have so surprised
me by what you have just said that
am almost bewildered, and can hardly
think of anything else. But l am sure
that L am too self-conceited to let Jack
really slight me. If l thought he want
ed me to give him his freedom l would
do it at once. l think it would almost
break my heart, but l would do it.

Heaven bless my child. l can trust
you to support the family reputation
for self-respect: and, Ethel, if you are
writing to Jack to-day, don't touch on
that subject. l have reasonus for not
wishing him to know anything about the
matter until tell him myself"
Ethel looked disappointed. She hand

read it through more than once, her face
wearing thoughtful expression. Then
she sat down with loosely clasped hands,
thinking over the letter even when she
had returned it to her pocket.
Il am sure of it-he loves this Miss
Mailing! Papa did not call her by that
name. l forget now what he called her.:
but it was not Mailing. 1 thought my
dislike to parting with Jack was all
nonsensical fancy at the time; but l
know now it was a real forewarning of
this sorrow. He will never come back
just the same as he went even if he
gets over this fancy for her. Jack
dear old Jack-why-why did you speak
of your love for me until you were quite

We feed strictly in accordance with

it be only an hour or two at night. 1t
is not a good plan to attempt to carry
the horses through from year to year
without the pasture. Green food cut

sane. The open air, the freedom from
the harness, the yielding Of the soft
turf and the biting of the grass are
essential to horses, and it pays to let
them have a spell at it.

HUNGRY WOMAN TRIES
TO PAWN HER BIBLE
Last Relic Of Better Days offered o.
Security for Loan-Her Old Heart
Made Glad.

= Leather-covered, rass.bound, in
scribed.with the family records and rich
in associations, a. family. Bible was Of
fered to Major Merriweather of the
Salvation, Army as security for a loan
last night.
An old woman, neat in appearance
and refined in manner, came to The army
headquarters late in the evening and in
faltering accents explained that, she
had had nothing to eat for twenty-four
hours and wished to borrow So, on
security. With trembling hands she re-
moved the heavy wrappings of the par
eel she carried until an, old fashioned
family Bible was revealed. While this
was going@on she was explaining to the
major how she had come to the city
with heFsson, who failed to find work
as quickly as they had expected, and
that, tho he had job which would
begin the next day, they were penniless
for the moment. y
Touched by the story and by her
evident sincerity and distress, the major
provided her with money sufficient for
the crisis, which she accepted only as a
loan, and he refused to take her Bible
as security. Relieved from the mental
distress under which she had labored
at the tAesght of parting with her last
relic Of kSme, and faint with her long
fast, the old lady suffered a slight COZ
lapse and the services of the army's
medical department were needed before
she was able to 60 to seek out her boy
and tell him of her good fortune. II
