Admitted by Americans Today.

Most of Mrs. Trollope's comments on
the manners and customs of the Ameri-
cans she saw were just, and are SO ad-
mitted by Americans today. Her error
lay in taking her limited horizon to be
coincident with the boundaries of the
nation, and in accepting Cincinnati in
1880 as the most typical town, whereas
1t was really only the greatest market

ourselves in some of our not very remote

I am the heir to the title, and with you as nay wife the Beverley fortune and the Beverley title would be brought to- gether."
 Not all of this speech Lady Diana heard. Now she slightly smiled and made a commonplace gesture. She re- fused to be moved by what she uncon- sciously felt to be another of the con stant attempts of her cousin to reduce Efe's odds more in his favor.
 t'Greville, it's quite impossible" she said, 'sand for the sake of friendship and cousinship5 let's hear nothing fur ther about it-ever''-
 To the relief of Lady Diana this dis tasteful conversation with her cousin -&vas ended by the appearance upon a lower slope of a youngish man in cler- fcaI dress. She went to greet him, and he Explained that he, the Rev. Werner .Haslam, was taking the place of the vicar during the Iatter,s absence. Dur ing this explanation of the stranger, who had received Lady Diana's note, SarLOE1S. WHO apparently ndQ EGcO8~ mized Haslam, smiled slightly.
 Lady Diana was about to lead the stranger te Brancaster's apartment, after her explanation of the accident and the inconsistencies of the earl, when she saw that the clergyman and Sartoris were exchanging strange looks. Sartoris broke the silence as he said with a sheer:
 q feel that the poor sufferer will be benefited by the ministrations of so goodly a divine as the Rev. Werner Has1am.''A
 The rudeness of it all shocked Lady Diana and she could not relieve the situation by other than a perfunctory inquiry to the man in clericals: ffYou know my cousinY
 The eyes of the young clergyman sought the face of Sartoris almost pleadingIy.

 The birth of what may have been jealousy began in Lady Diana. It was not strong and. merely manifested it seIfsst this moment by a curiosity not usual with this gentle though self con tained English girl.

 There was astonishment in her cousins face as he realized that the ordinarily self sufficient Diana, who usually was content with the personal knowledge that her own senses con veyed to her. had asked him a ques- ton on a plane with those asked by the ordinary members of her sex.

 ''I'Ye found the stable mouse, MT. Lambert" went on Harry, rage blind ing his eyes and judgment alike. "Some one tells Myrtle stable secrets for her to send outside. And why does she do 1t? Won't a girl do any thing for a man when he's fooled her, got her under his thumb? ?''
 Lambert could stand nothing more, and he seized the boy by the shoulder, shaking him savagely while he raised his stick for chastisement
