At length they stopped riding for few minutes, devoting their attention to making the wheel go fast. Then they decided to ride again and jumped on.

H ISRAELPS story of Vivian
 Grey, like others of his novels, -D deals largely with politics, and contains character portraits of we'll known persons of the period.
 When Vivian Grey reached the age of fiye years 1t was discovered that the treatment of a doting mamma and overattentive nurses had spoiled the child, and it was decided that he had better be sent away to school; when however, the subject was under dis cussion, there was strenuous protest from Vivian against curls and going to school.
 q won't have my hair curl, mamma; the boys will laugh at me" bawled the spoiled youngster, Charles Appleyard told me SO; his hair curled, and the boys called him girl. Papa !! give me some more claret; I won't go to schoOl!"
 But in spite of these protests he was sent to school, where he stayed some four years, when it was decided that he should remain at home for time and do his studying there; but he was later sent off again, this time to the school of MT. Dallas at Burnsley vicar age.
 The rumor of the arrival of "a new fellow" circulated rapidly through the inmates of the vicarage, and the fifty young rascals were preparing to quiz the newcomer when the schoolroOm door opened and MT. Dallas, accom- panied by Vivian Grey, entered.
 "A dandy, by Jover' whispered one. 'What knowing set out" squeaked a second; Mummy sick" growled a third; this last exclamation was, how ever, a scandalous libel, for certainly no being ever stood in a pedagogue's presence with more perfect sang-froid, and with a bolder front, than did, at this moment, Vivian Grey.
 The young savages at Burnsley vic arage had caught Tartar; in very few days Vivian was decidedly the most popular fellow in the school; "he was so dashing! so devilish good-tem- pered, so completely up to every thing"
 Vivian developed talents of lit erary nature which inspired great ad- niration among his fellow pupils, and also in the mind of MT. Dallas. But there are other attributes which will win the admiration of a school of real boys; and this proved to be the case at B:lrnsley vicarage, when, as so often happens, some of the boys, jealous of Vivians popularity, found as they thought, an opportunity to | triumph over him. There was trouble | between the followers of Vivian and | those of Mallet, the head usher; one of the latter made an insulting remark to Vivian which he promptly resented and the battle was on, and Vivian Grey showed that he could fight as we'll as write.
 l Vivian's chief characteristic was a burning ambition; with this he had g great amount of courage and self-as surance, and besides these attributes tact combined with pleasing per sonal presence and manners.
 At dinner In his fathers home when Vivian was still very young man, he made the acquaintance of tho marquess of Carabas. He came t( the rescue of the marquess and his opinions in an after-dinner discussion during which he quoted whole pas sage from Bolingbroke in support ol the marquess; this was challenged b, VIvian's father, who knew his son! habit of quoting the opinions of oth CTS. which were more often his owr
