 Evelyn Clairemont was the petted darling of an honored and wealthy family in England. Theirs was large and valuable domain, and in the midst of fine old park was located the fam fly mansion which resembled an old barenial hall with many an irregular turret and rounded tower, showing how one owner after another had added to the original building according to his own taste or caprice Fortunately for Evelyn her sex did not debar her from the inheritance as would have been the case in some families of their rank, in the country, and though many expressed regret that there was no longer a male representative of the family, all were thankful to keep Evelyn in their midst. Evelyn's moth CT had died many years before, leav- ing the little daughter to be brought up by her father, who was devoted to the child as he had been to fhis wife whom he sincerely mourned. He form ed no secohd marriage and found his greatest pleasure in training the little girl to enjoy outdoor sports. AL though dainty and fragile in appear ance, Evelyn was really strong and robust, delighting to share her fath CTS long tramps about the estate, for he was his own business agent. He looked after his well kept timber land, his judgement decided all claims from his many tenants, and, as he greatly enjoyed the hunt, Evelyn was early trained to be fearless rider, and was usually to be found among the fore most when the hunt called the country folk together to follow the hounds.
 She had welded during her fathers lifetime, Harry Blount, the younger son of prominent family in a nearby county. Only one brother stood be- tween him and the entailed estate, and that brother was a dreamy student without family ties, and openly avowed his intention of leaving the estate to Harry, whom he declared better fitted for such a position than himself. Most people coincided in this opinion, for Harry Blount was apparently as well fitted for such a life as his brother was unsuited to it. When at home, he was the idol of the tenantry, and the favorite in all the county families. No house party was complete without him, and while the men found him a welcome addition to their number, more than one fond mamma looked upon him as a desirable match for one of her daughters and much regret was expressed when 1t was learned that Evelyn Clairemont had captured him, and that he was to leave their cotirie and identify himself with an- other county.
 There he soon became as popular as in his own home. Jovial and bluff of manner among the men, courteous and gallant to the women he quickly took his place.. and, aside from politics, took an active part in advancing all local interests. All who met him felt that he was no mean match for Evelyn Clairemont Extremely fond of the hunt, he was soon noted for his skilful management and was made master of the hounds. He was proud of his wife's fearless riding, and In this as in many other things their tastes were in com mon, so that their welded life seemed as perfect as any could desire.
 Nothing could dishearten Harry, not even the surprising news which came to them of the marriage of his broth CT. Nnselfsh to a fault, he threw
 back his head and laughed heartily
