CHAPTER x.
at adv Brancaster!"


There was only laughter and jovial
clinking of glasses as Beverley enter
tanned the hunt at breakfast in the great
hall Of FaIconhurst, while outside the
hounds were being prepared for big
meet The men in their red coats and
full hunting "togs" seemed so many fig
ures stepped out OF the frames of the
portraits on the walls behind than of the
almost princely family of Beverley.
But at one end of the table, little
withdrawn from their neghbors, the Rev.
Werner Easlam and Captain Sartoris were
talking. The clergyman looked anXiously
up and down the board
where's Brancaster?' he asked, his
uneasy conscience troubling him
But Sartoris was perfectly at his ease
and the others anxious tones passed by
him. .,
"Oh. he's driven down to the station,
he returned IN a casual tone. He's been
fussing around all the morning about
parcel or something he wanted from
town"
Hes quite recovered?'' asked Haslam.
"They think so. Talks of hunting to-
day." said Sartoris.
But his mind-his memory the I'M
easy clergyman asked.
Sartoris shrugged his shoulders in their
we'll fitting red coat
"Why?" he asked.
when the vicar returns he'll read that
that entry in the marriage register,
he said, glancing uneasiy up the table
"Brancaster's marriage" returned the
other. ''Well-didnt he marry"
You know" began Haslam.
Pardon me. I know nothing"
you signed for him." persisted Has
lam.
No You wrote his name"
But the mark. The cross against
it
Sartoris was visibly annoyed.
"Brancaster's wrist was injured at the
time" he said. Dash it, We must
be artistic-he couldn't write"
What does it matter? The thing is
there" groaned the substitute vicar
Quite so-in perfectly legal form" said
Sartoris firmly.
He will know 1t is false" said the
conscience stricken Haslam.

sociated; where you have happy child
| you generally have a pretty one. But
the little girl who is gloomy and sad is

look of settled melancholy or discon-

A long, slow and very gradual de-
velopment, both of the physical and the
mental, is needed to store up vitality
and health which will be used to make
the future beauty.

of sports and exercises to develop the

Dear MISS Fairfax:
! have been going with "a young
man quite a while, but couple Of
weeks ago we decided it would be
best to stop going together. | wrote
to him asking that he return my
picture. AS yet / have received
neither picture nor heard from him.
MARY.
If he ignores second request, let the
third come from your brother or your
father, or some other male relative.
Perhaps his disregard of your request
is due entirely to neglect The best of
men are very neglectful in observance
OF such obligation. At any rate, don't
forget the lesson in the incident, and
that is not TO give your picture to
every young man who pays you atten-
