81 oughtn't to have wanted re-
minding; but l have so many things
to think of at the farm. And am
afraid l must be getting old; my
memory isn't as good as it was. /
am so glad to have seen you, Miss
Isabel. You and your aunt must
come and look at my horses. Do you
like horses? Are you fond of riding?

used to carrying ladies'; she would

you standing too long? didn't

His eyes. were still on the ground
Pale, silent, motionless, he waited
by her like a dog, until she gave
the signal of walking on again to
wards the house.
"You are not like yourself, Rob
ert,". she said. why is it? What
are you thinking OFF,"
He was thinking of the bright
blush that. overspread her face when
Hardyman first spoke to her; he
was thinking Of the invitation to he1
to see the stud farm, and to ride
the roam mare; he was thinking Of
the- utterly powerless position in
which he stood towards Isabel and
towards the highly born gentleman
who admired here. But he kept his
doubts and fears to himself. "The
train won't wait for me-" he said
and held out his hand once more.
Don't quite forget me-" he said

CHAPTER XVI.

Paying his court to the exschool-
mistress on the next day, Hardyman
made such excellent use of his op-
|portunities that the visit to the stud
Farm took place on the day after.
His own carriage was placed at the
disposal of Isabel and her aunt, and
his own sister was present to confer
special distinction on the reception
of Miss Pink.
Miss Pink held forth on education
to Mrs. Drumblade in the parlor,
while Hardyman and Isabel were on
their way to paddock at the farth-
est limits of the property
II am afraid you are getting lit
tie tired" said Hardyman. won't
you take my arm?" (.
Isabel was on her guard: she had
not forgotten what Lady Lydiard
had said to her. "No thank you,
Mr.. Hardyman; am better walker
than you think"
Hardyman continued the converse
tion in his blunt. resolute way. Il
wonder whether you will believe
me" he asked, "if T. tell you that
this is one of the happiest days of
my life?"
Il should think you were always
happy" Isabel cautiously replied,
having such pretty place to live in
as this"
Hardyman met that answer with
one of his quietly positive denials.
"A man is never happy by himself"
he said. ''He is happy with a COM
panion. For instance, l am happy
with YOU"
Isabel stopped and looked back.
Hardyman's language was becoming
little too explicit. Surely we have
lost Mrs. Drumblade and my aunt?"
she said. II don't see them any
where"
"You will see them directly; they
are only long way behind" With
this assurance, he returned, in his
own obstinate way, to his one object
in view. miss Isabel l want to
ask you question. I'm not ladies'
man. speak. my mind plainly to
everybody-women included. Do
you like being here today?"
Isabel's gravity was not proof
against this very downright question.
Il should be hard to please" she
said, laughing, IF didn't enjoy my
visit to the farm"
Hardyman pushed steadily forward
through the obstacle of the farm
to the question Of the farms mas
ter. you like being here" he re-
peated. do you like me?"
This was serious. Isabel drew
back little and looked at him. He
waited with the most impenetrable
gravity for her reply.
II think you can hardy expect me
to answer that question:" she said.
why not?"
"Our acquaintance has been very
short one, Mr.. Hardyman. And If
you are 80 good as to forget the
difference between us, think
ought to remember it."
What difference?"
1.-THE difference in rank"
Hardyman suddenly stood still, and
emphasized his next words by dig
ging his stick into the grass.
III anything l have said has vexed
you," he began, tell me so plainly,
Miss Isabel, and I'll ask your par
don. But don't throw my rank in my
face. / cut adrift from all that non
sence when 1 took my farm and got
my living out Of the horses. What
has mans rank to do with mans
feelings?", he went on, with another
emphatic dig Of his stick. II am
quite serious in asking If you like
me, for this good reason. that ]

PROPOSES DRASTIC LAW
Chicago Judge Would Prevent, BY
Legal Surgical Action. Unfit Per-
son From Becoming Parents.

Chicago, Jan. A model law pro-
viding for sterilization of men and
women who may become parents of
unfit children is proposed in a report
made public today by the psyche
pathic laboratory of the Chicago

Chief Justice Harry Olsen may
have the law presented to the Illinois
Legislature. 1t defines the socially
inadequate and unfit parents as those
who are paupers. ne'er-do-well's or
phans, cripples. the blind and suf-
ferers fro mcertain chronic and In
fectious diseases, as we'll as Grim
inals, inebriates. feeble-minded and
drug addiots. 1t proposes the ap-
pointment of a state eugenst who
would make state survey.
Our race must perish as have 9TH
er dominant races in former times
unless we find a means of discour-
aging the rapid multiplication of the
unfit" commented Chief Justice
