ignorance and confusion, battles her tenn
Piles with sherry from big flask. 1t has
the desired effect, as II it were a more sci
entific, or, at all events, more generally
recognized remedy, and ere the myrmidon
returns with water, Maude has come to
her self with & choking sob or two.
"Oh, Gren, / didn't DON'T shall
be well In minute" And after drinking,
first q little sherry, and then q little
water, Maude, with rather pale cheeks,
began to wonder how she could have been
so foolish.
II got SO excited about It Gren;
couldn't help It. You shouldn't have told
me what a lot Of money you might win.
Besides, never saw a race before"
"Never mind, you are all right now.
Wen go home as soon as we can catch
your father; there's nothing else to see
not for us, at least, darling. I've won
you now, Maude"
''No," said the girl, with smile, and
slight pressure Of her little hand; you
did that before. But where's your hatT'
II don't know" said Granville, looking
very confused. 81 threw It up In the
air when the horse won and then you
tainted, and l never thought Of 1t again.
Looks awkward, don't it?"
"Oh," laughed Maude, "I'm so glad.
Why, you were as bad as me. think
we had better go home, Gren we are not
it to go racing. We haven't the requi-
site control Of our feelings, and make
shows of ourselves"
But though the hat, little the worse
for It's aerial excursion, was speedily re-
turned by some jackal Of the heath, Har-
old Denison was not so easily come at,
and the cousins were perforce doomed to
see the day out. Though doubt whether
they ever saw another race, they bore
themselves resignedly, and fancy passed
a tolerably pleasant two hours. A gentle
man on q neat hack, after a moments
hesitation, pulled DIP at their carriage.
Lifting his hat to Maude, he nodded cheer
lily to Rose, and leaning over, murmured /:
"No end Of congratulation. I'm very
well satisfied; but, Gren, you have played
for high stakes, and l suppose / may say
have won them. Adieul" And with an
other glance and raising Of his hat to
Maude, he cantered of.
"Who was thatf" she inquired.
"Dallison, who did all my betting for
me-"
"And did he known
HE knew what that 5000 meant to
me. Hes right, Mauda. have been play
ing high stakes, and to think that I
should win ALL"
Mr.. Denison turned up In the most jubi-

and won a hundred and odd pounds, he
told them. Don't think am going on
with 1t, Granville but as l had c0ms to
see The Guineas' run for once more,
determined to risk my pony on 1t, and
backed the horse that had already been
such good friend to me; and as that was
successful / invested two or three more
ten-pound notes on the strength of my
first win, so that my gains mounted up
my selections having proved successful"
Within twenty-four hours Granville
Rose had had long confabulAtion with
his uncle, and succeeded in convincing
him that he was, thanks to the additional

ar once he could make up now 5000 q
year, and he was sure business would
shortly come to him. Denison demurred
a little, but he certainly was under some

gage. The domestic current, too, ran
strong In Grenville's favor; so, after q
little, he yielded, saying that "if they
thought fit to begin the world on that
income. he had no more to say, further
than that they could expect but little
help from him In his lifetime"
Maude and Granville rocked little Of
that, and in three months time they
were married and one Of the handsomesi
wedding presents Maude received was
