her quick, incisive mods, "Cleone
this Barnabas Of ours is either a
mailman OF a fool And yet-stoop
down. sir-here where I can see you
-huml And yet, Cleone, there are
times when I think he is perhaps
q little wiser than ne seems-noth-
ing is so battling as simplicity, my
dearl
If you wished to be talked about
Barnabas. you have succeeded ad-
mirably-no wonder all London is
laughing over such a preposterous
bet Forty thousand poundsl Well
1t will at least buy you notoriety
and that is next to fame"
Indeed, I hadn't thought of
that" said Barnabas.
And supposing your horse had
been famed and you couldn't ride
how then?"
Why, then. I forfeit the money,
madam"
Now here the duchess frowned
thoughtfully. and thereafter said
hal" so suddenly, that Cleone
started and hurried to her side.
Dear god-motner, what is it?"
"A thought, my dearl"
But"
Call it a woman's intuition, if
you will"
That you are right. Cleone-he
must rr1raHu
GO? Barnabas?"
yes: to London-now-th very
instant! Unles you prefer to forfeit
your money, Barnabas?"
You would be wiseri"
But I was never very wise, I
fear" said Barnabas.
"And-much Safer!"
"Oh, gOd-mother-do you think
there is-danger, them"
yes, child, 1 do. Indeed, Barna.
bas. you we're wiser and safer to
forfeit your wagers and stay here
with me and-Cleone!"
But Barnabas only sighed and
shook his head.
"Cleone." said the duchess, speak
to him"
So blushing a little, signing lit
tie, Cleone reached out her hand
to Barnabas, while the duchess
watched them with her young,
bright eyes.
oh, Barnabas, god-mother is
very wise, and if-there is danger
you mustn't go-for my sake"
But Barnabas shook his head
again, and taking in his strong
clasp the pleading hand upon his
arm. turned to the duchess.
Madam" he said, dear duchess,
tonight 1 have found my manhood,
for tonight I have learned that a
man must ever choose the hardest
course and follow ito the end.
Tonight CleOne has taught me
many things"
And you will-stay?" inquired
the duchess.

"goOd-by!" said she very softly, 1T
is fine thing to be gentleman,
perhaps-but it is a godlike thing

So saying. she. gave him her
hand. and as Barnabas stopped to
kiss those small. white fingers, she
looked down at his curly head with
such an expression as surely few
had ever seen within the eyes of
this ancient, childless woman, her
Grace of Camberhurst.
