she had been unable to resist him! Dickey sat up little straighter, and gave the bay thoroughbreds a flick that they instantly resented by nearly pulling his arms from the sockets. They were less than half mile from the station before he had them under control again. Then he glanced side ways at the face under the slanting hat-brim. It was all over with Fan, and he might as we'll make the best of it. He put his arm around her.
 T wouldn't do that. Dickey dear. if l were you," she said, sweetly, restor. ing the arm with decision to its proper place.
 ''Id like to know why?" said Dickey, much injured. What's the use of be- ing so stand-offlsh with fellow when we're engaged?"
 Because we're not engaged. Dickey." she said. with charming smile. "Be- cause it's all of. and you're going back to the little DeerIng girl and be good boy all the rest of your natural life. There is the station. Dickey-and drive carefully now"
 Dickey was still gasping when she fiuttered up the platform beside him. Not engaged?

 No. we're not engaged. my son." she said. with a little motherly air. You know you talk so loud when you are plotting. Dickey-and the truth is. I was'in the summer house that night you made 1t up"

 nYou see," said Lady Isabel to me, sthere is the difference between men and women, Now, as for this matter of breaking into society, man will make 1t worth your while merely to be seen about with you once or twice, and then trust to his money doing the rest for him; but women are so jeal- ous of one another that even really rich women have a lot of trouble in getting on, if they're melodies, and if they once get hold of you. they insist on their pound of social flesh in return for" She paused and hesitated.

 Exactly SC" said Lady Isabel.
 ssWho has been helping you lately?" l asked.
 Look at the bother had with Mrs. Barrington-B Brown" she replied, igncr- ing my question, and what fearful nuisance it was taking her abroad, and Ill the fuss had to make to get her introduced: and now there's Mrs. Leamington-Smythe-I can't be always thinking of new schemes to help these people on" she added.
 Cant you?' .murmured. "Is there really limit to your ideas?
 She nodded. And yet, you know. I feel that after borrowing her house last Christmas-at least. of course, mean she offered it-I feel l must be civil"
 Was il, her house?' asked, as re- called the cheerful. Christmas gather ing and the pleasant little New Years shooting party.
 Lady Isabel nodded. Yes; and when gave all those parties, l had several of her friends there"
 How good of you"
 Yes; wasn't it? But you ee they were all well of and useful, and I thanked her, too, and all that. you know-and now she actually wants me to 7 .roduce her to the Princess Nor

 And now you won't. of course, get the house for Easter" I said, with deepest sympathy.
 My dear Marjorie" said Lady Isa- bel. -please do not run away with the idea that people are always thinking about themselves-I am merely consid- ering Mrs. Leamington-Smythe-"
 "t might have known it," said peni. tently. But why consider Mrs. smythe at all?"

You see. I am giving this party on purpose. and is I don't introduce Mrs. Smythe she will be furious. and if I pretend haven't had the princess note and pre- sent the woman it will be worse still. Whatever shall I do, Marjorie? For goodness sake, don't sit there staring at me, but tell me what on earth to do.-
 Whom would it pay you best to please?'
 Lady Isabel looked absolutely shocked. My dear girl, for goodness sake. don't be 80 batefully crude" then she added meditatively. "of course I'd like to please the princess best
 It is rather awkward" I admitted. "what a pity they have both accept ed"
 "Yes, isn't 1t: but people only do ac- cept. as rule. when you wish they wouldn't"
 "what will you do?"

 Doesn't she look dear: she really is quite a lovely woman. only I do wish shed dress just teery weeny bit better" said Lady Isabel. lavishing her usual qualified praise on her es- pecial guest.
 The princess crossed over to us at the moment, and the qualified praise ceased somewhat abruptly.

 And Fan was an heiress. It was sc easy to love Fan. And she would never forgive him. She would not even wait for him until death or some unforeseen calamity should set him free. Perhaps she would even marry the hated Rembert, the too-eloquent Rembert, who had had hand in his undoing!
 For some weary days thereafter Dickey was led about and shown on by his fiancee, manfully trying to look as little miserable aA possible, even in a dim way to make love. That he did it badly he knew, and it did not help him in the least to see her pause and look at him with interest at such times. It was a telegram that broke the spell and proved the signal for the breaking-up of the house party. Miss Garner read it at the breakfast table, and twisted the yellow slip thought fully.
 "Too bad!" she said, with regret. T suppose I must go. It's my lawyer, you know. How tiresome! Dickey, will you drive me down to catch the twolye-thirty train?"
 There were exclamations of sorrow on all sides, and one cried out, "Oh, we'll, if you are going, think shall leave in the morning
 In a few moments Mrs. Arnaud knew that her house party would be fitting before another day had closed, but she smiled. It had been great success.
 Dickey's nerves thrilled little as he gathered up the reins. They were all crowded around her and could not let her go. How popular she was, after all-and how stunning! At least 1t was something that this splendid creature was going to be his wife, and

Home Corners and Late Goers.

Many people are now returning to their
vocations from their vacations, one letter
OF the alphabet marking a great difference
in latitude, longitude, climate, temperature
and occupation. The "a stands for rest,
the 20 for work. But the work done after
vacation is always better work. more cheer
fully performed and less wearing on the
nervous system. The machine has been
adjusted, repaired and oiled. 1t performs
It's functions with less friction and Jar and
II requires less fuel and steam to move it.
1t Is common to hear some elder people,
who have not fully measured the dimen-
sions OF the time, say that they do not un-
derstand why the younger folks of this
generation need to take vacations. In their
youth they never heard of resting spells
each year. and do not approve the loss
OF time. The trouble with this point OF
view is that 1t incorrectly estimates the
strain OF this days work, as compared with
the labor of fifty or more years ago. Not
withstanding the contributions OF science
and engineering to the comfort and facility
OF mans labors, the average worker now
adays is harder pressed than his prototype
of few decades ago. His very opportuni-
ties for covering ground quickly impose a
responsibility upon him which wears on the
nervous fiber.

trips have failed to benefit to the full ex-

A Lord High Chancellor Coming.

America is soon to be visited. for the first
time in history, by a Lord High Chancellor
of England. Lord Loreburn. who is the
present custodian of the great seal OF the
kingdom, has arranged to tour the western
continent, but he will not bring his precious
bit of metal with him. In this respect he
is somewhat embarrassed by circumstance
which has heretofore operated to Keep his
predecessors in office closely tied down TO
the home soil during their terms. The law
forbids the seal to be taken out of the coun-
try and it is at the same time supposed to
be constantly kept in the lord chanceliors
custody. OF course, nobody, even of the
most conservative British type. nowadays
expects the lord high chancellor to carry
the clumsy contrivance around with him
wherever he goes. So gradually the incum-
bent of this office, the highest judicial place
in the government, has come to devise
means of extending his movements. while
safeguarding the seal in its official resting
place In London. Now Lord Loreburn has
wrenched the traditions sufficiently to en-
able him to take vacation across the At
antic and to give the people of the United
States and Canada a peep at something
they never saw before outside of England
Scotland. Ireland.or Wales-a real live lord
high chancellor in full official power, though
minus his seal of office.
This high functionary Is a member of the
ministry and leaves office upon its retire
mcnt. He may serve for many years or
only few months. but while in office he
Yields a tremendous Authority He Is Of
fetal guardian of every orphan connected
with an estate which has become a subject
of litigation. as all readers of BLEAK
House remember. He directs their lives
and counts out their spending money. He
names executors and directs the trial Of
cases of the highest order. He is sort or
lord chief justice and attorney general
combined. Upon his recomme ndation judges
are appointed. though the commissions are
issued in the name of the king. He is also
ing possibly himself a commoner not en-
titled to sit in that body by right. Often,
however. he is chosen with reference to this
requirement, and is before taking office a
member of the upper chamber, or Is in line
of succession to the peerage. Often he is
ele waited to the peerage incidental to his Sc
lection as chancellor. Lord Loreburn was
born Robert Threshire Reid. In 1894 he be-
came after a series of advancements at the
bar solicitor general and was In the same
year created knight He was named lord
high chancellor December II. 1908. upon the
formation of the Campbell Bannerman min
stry and was created life peer as Right
Honorable Lord Loreburn in 1905. thus
being now of his own right member Of the
house of lords.
