CHAPTER Xxx.

The announcement of Olivia ap-
preaching marriage caused almost as
much excitement as the news of her
engagement.
She had insisted upon the ceremony
being as quiet one as possible and
for a wonder BARLEY Bradstone con-
Sented.
At least a score of young ladies
were DESTROYS of acting as brides
maids upon SO famous an occasion,
but Olivia desired to limit the number
to two, and chose Annie and Mary,
much to their delight and Aunt
Amelia's chagrin.

in her most dignified manner, Only
two bridesmaids! Why, the veriest
pauper has three or four! Let NE
beg of you to remember your position
and what is due to it! I've nothing
to say against Annie and Mary, but
cannot forget that there are others
who have a claim upon us. For In
stance, there are those six dear girls
Of the duchess's. Now, why-1 ask
why-cannot you choose them?"
But Olivia remained as firm over
this point as she did upon the question
of her trousseau Aunt Amelia had
looked forward to visit to town, re-
sulting in an extensive outfit in which
costly lace and still more costly furs
and tailor-made dresses should figure
largely, and was proportionately dis
gusted when Olivia announced that
she intended buying her things at
Wainford, and evidently meant to con-
fine her purchases to very narrow lin

Really, my dear Olivia" said Aunt
Amelia, lone would think your father
hadn't penny to bless himself with!

proper pride in your own appearance,

And Olivia, with an aching heart
had to meet the old lady's reproaches
with a smile.

solved: that she would not spend one

is THE HORSE A coWARD7

Imprimis, the horse is coward
nature made him so-an unreasonlng
coward, who fears everything with
which he is unfamiliar; nothing how
ever horrible, to which association has
accustomed him; a creature given
over to sudden and uncomfortable
panics, and, in their paroxysyms, stop
ping at no injury to self, or to those
who cherish him. His overpowering in
stinct in such cases is flight; frequent
ly, but not always, associated with
determination to clear himself from
any unhampering surroundings. He
has no feelings of revenge, unless
trained to cunning by the abuse or the
mistakes of mankind, and, when these
prevail, he rarely wreaks his ven
geance upon any particular indiVidu-
al, but upon humanity in general, with
no regard to age or sex.
The sentiment of revenge is so usu-
ally associated with cowardice that it
may almost be classed as phase Of
that instinct. Cowardice manifests it.

cannon are fired in his face. 1t is this
very attribute of cowardice which en-
ables us to handle the animal as we
do; to train him to our will and for
our purpose; which makes him, once
he is thoroughly deceived and intimi-
dated, the useful servant we find him:
not willing slave, but one who fears
again to tempt reprisals which have
always proved effective; and who
labors for us because he has been
