definite charm of her own. Her type
did not appeal to Darlington, however,
and therefore Ellen loved her.
Having surveyed the woman through
Ellen's eyes, we may take look at
the men through those of her hus-
band. First In rank there was the
duke of Outward, hard drinker, a
high player and rich liver; Admiral
Benjamin Kephard, jolly old sailor,
and General, Honorable George Athel-
strong, an Anglo-Indian soldier on the
retired list. The qualities that distin-
guished the duke of Outward were
common to Athelstrong, in less de-
gree perhaps owing to their differ
ent stations. The party was COM
pleted by the presence of Sir Charles
Seton and earl of Strathgate. Seton.
who was Carrington's most intimate
friend, had enjoyed a weakness for
Ellen since he first saw her, but the
friendship between Darlington and
himself had been so true that moth
ing had been allowed to disturb it
as yet! Now Seton had succumbed
to the charms Of Mistress Debbie, and
as Mistress Debbie clung to the lee

and with masculine blindness Caring

that there could be no attraction for
his friend except what lay In Ellen's
charming personality.

CHAPTER III.
Ellen PLAYS a Game,

The greater climax came the night
after. Lady Ellen had declined to ride
that day. She had business at home
as the chatelaine. Consequently, no
mishap had occurred during the day
light Lord Strathgate had pleaded in
disposition and had remained at the
castle also, Indifferent apparently to
the black looks of his host as he rode
away by the side Of Lady Cecily. Mis-
tress Debbie. who made not the faint
est pretense of being interested in
hounds. and who indeed cherished a
growing sympathy for the fox, had
also refused to ride in chase of Master
Reynard. Sir Charles Seton had made
an Intellectual effort to do likewise,
only to be carried off by his host al,
most by violence and allotted to Mrs.
Monbrant for the days sport.
Evening found the party assembled
in the drawingroom. Everybody was in
a bad humor
The only serene one apparently was
Lady Ellen. When the men joined the
women in the drawingroom after the
late supper, it was she herself who
proposed cards.

who appeared before the committee on
Tuesday, gave much information and sub
mitted to severe cross-examination. His
testimony showed that the tariff is need
ed more as a protection for the independ-
ent steel manufacturers than for the steel
corporation. He declared that the reduc-
ton of the duty certain steel products
would compel the steel companies to re-
duce the cost of labor. He said that the
competitors of the steel corporation needed
protection, but that the corporation could
take care of itself.
Suppose this committee We're to wipe
out the steel duty entirely, the United
