ward the end Of the second year at
Flatbush word came from Whining ton
that Johnston Blakely's father nad
died suddenly The boy had TO 60
home at once. He was the only child
and his fathers business and fortune
were left TO him.
Boy and Girl Letters.
It seemed strange to Johnston Blake
" when ne left New York thai, much
as he sorrOwed over the death Of his
father his grief was deeper over his
separatiOn from the HOOpers- He could
not understand why he cried when
Mrs. Hooper took him In her arms and
kissed him and called him her boy, or
why he dWelt with such fOndness on
James passionate weeping at the idea
of separation from him. He was not
to know for many months how much
that good family had come into his
heart.
but approve what the lawyers outlined
about the carrying on Of his fathers
business and the management Of his
property Those things settled, he
entered the University OF North Caro-
lima. 1t was a sad change from the
happy surroundings OF Flatbush and
New York. but he had schooled him
self too well in depressing his feelings
TO show how much he missed his
northern friends.
From Jane he got letters regularly.
Nothing was too unimpOrtant for her
TO report. In one letter telling OF the
death Of the cat she adored, the pages
were spotted with her tears, and he,
who had abominated the cat. felt sor-
row because OF the feHnes passing.
She told him OF the new dresses, Of
her parties, OF her Quarrels, Of her mis-
behavior now and then, and ne, in
turn, wrote long letters to her telling
her much Of his life in the university
and occasionally, manlike. scolding
her for something she had done or
had failed to do.
The calm Of his life in the univers-
ity and his plans for the future were
broken suddenly by news OF the burn
ing Of the buildings in Wilmington
which represented most OF his fortune.
There had been a great fire in the
city and most OF the structures in the
business section had been Wiued out
There was no insurance.
Mr.. Hooper. when he heard OF the
disaster, offered a place in his office
to young Blakely. Wilmington friends
also offered to provide all the money
he required 10 finish his education.
but he declined these proffers, left
the university and went into the navy
as a midshipman.
In the ten years that followed tbs
HOOpers heard little OF Johnston Blake

from a far distant part OF the world.

in a thing like that.
There are three distinct ways OF de-
velOpment that / have noticed about
horseback riding for an exercise. The
first is the Development OF the chest
muscles, and is gained first and fore
most by what we call the pickup move
meut- That IS, the swinging down
from the saddle TO pick up something
from the ground This may seem very
much like a trick movement 10 those
who are unused 10 riding and who see
il done for the first time. but anyone
who is at all accustomed to riding viii
find it very easy thing 10 accom-
plish. II you have never ridden be-
fore OF course il would be foolish TO
try anything like this until you have
mastered the rudiments Of the game
Any good sportsman will realize this
fact without being told.
The next two forms OF development
come right in the early stages Of learn
ing. and depend entirely upon the way
q person learns to ride II you want
pretty foot with a beautifully arched
instep, learn 10 ride from the stirrups.
Use your reins merely as an adjunct,
and make the balance OF the exercise
rest upon the feet You have no idea
how wonderfully this exercise devel-
ops the feet
- Then there IS the balance riding,
the feet resting lightly in the stirrups,
the knees tightly clinched against the
b horse. and the strictest attention paid
Ito the reins- Oftentimes the rider
krups that he does not use them at all,
and in this case the muscles Of the
arms are brought into play. and the
arms are beautifully developed through
rein riding.
of course, I am taking for granted
