That High Cost of Livins.-A coun-
tryman living just outside London
drove in one day to buy provisions
and other necessaries. He went first to
cobbler and purchased pair of
boots. Not shoddy footwear, careless
ly made, or even machine made, but
hand -sewed and Of strong. leather. For
this pair of boots he paid just cents.
He next went to a butcher and
bought a sheep for which he paid 10
cents, and doben chickens for which
he paid is cents, or IA cents apiece.
Ten pounds of beef cost him total of
s cents, for the beef was half cent a
pound. A visit to a grain merchant re-
suited in the purchase Of a bushel Of
rye for Is cents, and at the fish mar
ket he bought twenty-five large fish
for 10 cents. At the Diapers he pur-
chased a suit Of clothes for 40 cents,
for stout homespun cloth was selling
at 12 cents an ell, or 93-5 cents a
yard.
The countryman had no trouble in
carrying his purchases home in his
wagon. The wagon was large. He had
driven 1t to London with load Of
firewood, and he had sold the wood for
12 cents, which was a good price for
those days.
It was early in the Sixteenth Gen.
tury-about 400 years ago.-Wall

CHAPTER v.
In the Italian Garden.

Across the meadows and through
Beverley wood Harry Anson, The
Whips jockey, followed his sister.
The manner of the girl was furtive,
A,pd. occasionally she looked back as
Tough she suspected she was being
followed.
At such times Harry, in the dusk OF
the evening, took advantage OF what
ever cover there was. So Myrtle, with
out being more than half con-
scious Of another's presence, final
ly arrived in the Italian garden that
stretched and sloped away from Fai-
colnhurst to the south. Now, ne
thought he would find out to whom
Myrtle had been giving news OF the
racers in the Beverley stables. But In
his haste to enter the garden, too, and
conceal himself, he stumbled over a
small rose bush whose small branches
had needed trimming by the garde-
ner.
With a shudder Myrtle turned and
saw him. But. nevertheless, with the
stragegy of a woman, she at once put
him on the defensive.
Harry, what are you doing here"'
she demanded.
Harry explained that Lord Beverley
had sent for him, as he had. But, in
turn, he asked:
what are you doing here? I've seen
you come sinking along this way
many a time. Some ones been talk
ing. Things have got out about the
horses. Who talks?"
81 don't know" said Myrtle sullen-
ly.
'I do" said Harry. "A girl. Who
for? For some one who's made a fool
of her. But I'll find the blackguard
out, and when 1 do
On his way to the library, where he
had an engagement with Lord Bever-
lev. Tom Lambert, the trainer, came
into the garden at this moment, and
the furious sense of Harry at once
Jumped to the same conclusion which
had been troubling Mrs. Beamish. In
stantly the boy walked up to the port
" but sturdy elder man and shook mis-
fist under Lambert's nose.
"I'll stand no wrong-not with my
sister," he clustered.
Young idiot" returned Lambert
savagely aware that the world SEEM
ed in conspiracy with Mrs. Beamish.
Perhaps" exclaimed Harry. But
I'm not a blackguard."
Mrs. Beamish came slowly toward
