q considerable time at his post and not

man suspected his gamekeeper Of care
lessness. So one dark night he dis
euised himself and went out with a
gun TO poGch on his own grounds. BE
had fred only one or two shots when
lie was suddenly pounced upon from
behind and his gun wrenched away.
raen kicks and blows were showered
upon him until he fell down half In

sway quietly. and when the noble
,Ian recovered sufficiently he crawled

in the Commercial club it was decided
not to employ a state organizer as in

TO be less expensive and more eff.

Unfortunately, Though, the Test Did
Not Work Out Right.

Not Work Out Right.
She had merely wished to put his
love to the test. 1t had not occurred to
her that he might impulsively say
goodby and go out of her life forever,
but apparently she had misjudged
him, and now he was gone, gone, alas,
and she was left alone to nurse a vain
regret.
Half swooning, she Sank into chair
and covered her face with her hands.
Tears trickled between her fingers,
and bitterly she reproached herself
Why" she sobbed, did / let him
go? l have lost him! Oh, foolish girl

around his neck before it was too late
and asked him to forgive mel"
But hist.
Suddenly she raised her head and
listened.
Yes; there was some one at the door,
1t is he.
Hastily dashing the tears from her
eyes, she assumed an uncompromising
look. He had returned to sue for peace.
She must compel him to humbly ad-
nit that he had been wrong. 1t was
her duty to herself TO insist that he
must surrender Internationally.
He rang the bell, but she did not
! rush to let him in. Not until he rang
again did she go to the door
For moment they stood facing each
! other. Proudly she waited for him to
begin his plea for mercy.
At last he spoke.
