Once upon time. not 80 long ago. a
couple OF cowpunchers found them
selves guests In the home of minister
Of the gospel whose custom was to
hold family worship of morning and
to conclude the same by asking each
one present to give some quotation
from the Scriptures. One after an
other repeated some text until at last
1t came the turn of Jim Bulstoke of
the Crowfoot ranch.

The dominic lifted hand to hide a
sudden smile. but bowed to Jim's

The ChiLdre, of the Great.

There is a tendency for children OF
exceptional parents to regress toward
the average stock. Cation terms this
tendency filial repression. This. the
London hospital points out. applies
equally to exceptional physical and
mental characters. Thus, though tall
stature may run In certain families,
yet there is always tendency to re-
vert to the mean average size. Simi-
larry the children Of genius tend to
have somewhat less than their fathers
power, but more than the average Of
the race According to Professor Pear
son. distinguished parents are just ten
times more likely to have distinguished
offspring that undistinguished parents
Still, such cases as the Darwins, IA
ther and sons; the two Pitts, Philip and
Alexander the Great are exceptional.
Similarly also the children Of Grim
inal tend to be less vicious than the
father, though morally inferior to the
average man.

Last English King In a Battle.

The battle of Dettingen, In Bavaria.
on the 10th 9th o. S. of June, 1743.
between the British, Hanoverian and
Hessian troops C52000 mem, under
command of George IL, and the
French troops 10000 men). under
Marshal Noanles, which resulted In
the victory Of the allied troops. was
the last occasion on which an English
king fought on the battlefield. His
majesty continued the whole time IN
the heat of all the action, which was
said by those who witnessed 1t to have
been as fierce a conflict as had ever
been known.
On the morning of the battle the
king appeared In the same red coat
he had worn at Oudenarde, thirty-fve
years before. taking his place at the
head Of the seven battalions Of guards.
About noon he ordered a general ad
vance. and during the movements 1t
entailed he was very nearly taken by
the enemy but was rescued by the
Twenty-second regiment, who, in re-
membrance. wore a sprig Of oak In
their caps upon the anniversary of the
battle for many years afterward.-Lon-

were agitated violently and the head
Of Lady Creech popped out of the case
ment with the suddenness of a Punch
From the keen look on her face one
might have imagined that had 1t not
been for her deafness she might have
heard every word of the conversation
that had gone on below her. AS it was,
after gazing anxiously in the direction
of the road she withdrew her head
sharply and within a minute came out
Of the door Of the hotel just In time to
encounter Horace and Nine. de Cham
pigny coming in from the grove. She
approached them at once.
"Have you seen my brotherT she
demanded excitedly. Where is Lord
HawcastleT'
Horace looked at her with surprise.
"On the other side of the garden,
Lady Creech," he answered. down
there on the terrace" and watched,
with some amusement the speedy ef-
forts Of the grim old lady as she hur-
ried of. The amusement, however,
rapidly gave place to a more interest
ing pestime, for, summoning all his
callow courage, he set himself vigor
ously to hint at a possible union be-
tween himself and the noble countess.
1t was evident from the first word
that the lady was prepared for him
and that, while she intended to offer
him every bit Of encouragement in her
power, she would not be satisfied with
anything short of a definite proposal
and more likely before witnesses II
possible.
He made his initial move with some
gayety. She returned his banter with
mock seriousness and In answer to
his challenge on her somber mood re
piled:
But l cannot believe you are al
ways serious, my friend"
Try me-" he demanded eagerly.
"Set me some task to prove bow seri-
Gus am" She smiled at him.
Gladly" she said. Complete this
odious settlement. Overcome the re-
sistance Of this bad man who SO trou-
bles yoAr sweet sister"
Horace took her hand and murmur-
ed:
You promise me that when 1t Is set
tied may speak to you
Yes. You may speak to me-when
you please" And at the words he
kissed her hand rapturously.
In the meantime the suddenly reju-
venated Lady Creech had found her
brother-in-law and had impaired to
him words Of the utmost importance.
She had temporarily forgotten her
deafness, or else the agitation that pos
sessed her had removed 1t, for she was
bordering upon "a state Of mind"
She walked him back to the hotel
when she found him and talked con
tinuousIy all the way, and as she
talked his excitement grew to match
her own. AS they approached the gar
den Lady Creech said to him:
81 couldn't hear distinctly, for they
mumbled their words, but upon my
soul, Hawcastle, even If l couldn't
hear we'll. l saw enough"

CHAPTER XIV.
BLACKMAIL.

nIkE was still standing with t. the
letter in his hand, looking after
Ethel, when he awoke to the
realization Of what her words
meant to him. She had given her
PROMISE and she did not mean that
anything in the world should make
her revoke 1t. That promise was sacred
to her. just as II 1t had been spoken
before a clergyman.
In his heart Pike knew he would
have to give in II he was to make her
happy, and yet he knew that In max
ing her temporarily happy he would
be making her eternally miserable. II
he could have the strength to hold
out against her and refuse to sanction
the marriage he knew the crew Of
without the cash. and that by the
terms of John Simpsons will could
never be theirs without his consent
OF his own hopes he could see but
the faintest glimmering. He had ir-
retrievably offended the girl, and she
Noulu uutC bill uii hci ilC loi ~ hC
feared. His entrance into her new
phase of life had been unfortunate.
His continuance in 1t was little else
than an insult, according to her way
Of thinking. And Jim Cooley, whom
he had trusted to find the flaw In the
Hawcastle escutcheon that he knew
had existed, had failed him miserably.
The lawyer felt that he was long
way from home. He sighed and turned
to where the sun was sinking In n
haze of red across the bay. Then he
heard the voice of Horace and chin
ing with 1T the cultured accents of
Lord Hawcastle. Apparently they
were coming to seek him. She had
reiterated his refusal.
YEARLY he turned again to the au-
tomobile and leaned against 1t. AS he
did so he heard Horace say:
But Ethel says Mr.. Pike positively
refuses"
In return he heard Hawcastle reply:
leave him to me. In ten minutes
he will be as meek as lamb"
Dumbly Pike wondered what fresh
argument the earl had to offer and
mentally steeled himself against 1t.
AS he looked up he encountered the
steady glare Of the earl.
