dreaathis evening jack takes harm fa dinner bat think he woou have preferred a certain daffodil eilk with yellow roaes ha takes rather mora wine than ia good for him after diaaer bat i manage fa gat him into the drawingtoon at last there ha devotes himself to mi featnerstoa recklaaiiy and when we are riding down cwrraghbawa in um eght ot the harvest moon three boors aftarwarda he ielli me that he ha propoaed again for his aecoad ooastn and been ao- oepta1 aa he knew- he ahoald bev aadtioobt rredooe the worst job t ever did in ry life 1 ha oooclndea tims will not tang heavy on my hinds at cexiie garde it seemed hard lines to coma fa ireland fa star at a house where there were ao irian gin bat whatever attrac tion a girl may or may not have far me girl in general cannot weigh for a moment against tie more powerful of horse and dog rod and gnn i am a bora aportamas and castle garde is tie place fa come fa for rportt we seldom trouble the boose from sa early breakfaat fa an eightoclock dinner tad i think both the doctor and ifrs oarew are very well pleased with this arrange ment the doctor is not a banting man thoagh he anderstandt bones tllorooghly and goes in very considerably for their breeding end training i think he seldom leaves tie house or at all events tie vicini ty of the booae and ifn carer never goes oat she tells me she finds it so hard fa get tie horses sad the doctor diapprovea ao mnch of gadding about that aha has gives ap visiting altogether jack tries t get her ont even fa take a torn ap and down the arenas bat ft worries her eojnnna ttsst he gives it ap too she always ha a fright ened nervosa look bat i think it ia more remarkable when the doctor is present though he never sneers st her a he does ai jsck or tarns on her savagely aa be tarns upon the servsntc i do not like tia doe- far for all his jovial manner ha has a cold eye and f soft hand both things fa which i have an invincible dislike in s man jack does not go aver to carrick for two whole days i wonder what his ladylove thinks bat i never mention the subject to now that tie eaipenee ia over he to hare regained his natural lazy eciisnimity j yet i aometimes think he is not very happy for all that he amokas more this is good far him and is very abrupt in his answers fa the doctor more tain abrupt once tasked him beer kiss fetherstone had received his halfhearted proposal that night at carrick bat he would not give me an j- satisfaction she took it quite u s mstfar of coarse hessid end he was glad of it it was lucky she did act care about romance or that aort of thing since it had all been taken out ot the affair at far as they were concerned he did think it rather hard that a fellow could not do tia own ooorting bat it seemed hs jack carew was not to have that common privilege however there was no nse in talking about it now hs bad done what was expected of hun on all sides sad if he was to be the marcos cartius of the carew family he might as well set the part with a good grace i am aot sure that ifias fetherstone will think he is scttog it with a very good grace however i am not overanxioas to play tie part of daisypicksr to my friend or to go oat fishing ana iftooting by myself ao i do not urge him overmuch to go to carrick i am afraid what influence i possess it used in the contrary direction so two whole days pass the third is tremendously hot for september a tremu lous hsze wavering over the hills snd the woods the lake without a ripple heaving in fang glassy ondqlstinns op to where the eatoa stand kneekeep along the ahors gold and green dragonflies skate over the waters everynsg and rash snd island of weeds is reflected with photographic clear ness the great shadow of knockmony wavers in black lines halfway scroll tie iv jack in a lazy mood prefers the brokendown bench aider the laurels sacred to the memory of deadandgoae loons whose initials are carved ailoveeit and one of levers novel to mors active pastime while i amuse myself by cleaning my guns sod mending my dshingtackle snd long for the evening jt iirperhsps two oclock when i nod my self rambling through the shrubbery at the side af the house old jcrno at my heels snd my favourite meerschaum in foil play to keep off the midges i am thinking more of for snd feather than famir myster ies bat i find myself in for one of the list before i sm aware the high wall of the kitchengarden closes ia the shrubbery on one side beyond the ancestral elm the preservation of which is of sack vital consequence to the head of the carew family there is in this wsllsn old door i sndtodsy for the first time i find it standing ajar i pot my bead in not ao axuch from curiosity as from want of fawaght being intensely preoccupied at the moment in calculating tie advantages ot shekebore over the ordinary kind there is not much to be seen here in this jack has spoken the truth the plsce is for the meet part a perfect wilderness with great tracts ot nettles and oabtugestalks and re fuse of vegetables snd every kind of garden rubbish all along by the wall runs a straight alley well trodden aa if people were in the habit of constantly pasting up and down it i glance to right and left the whole place look as if it had not been put to rights within the memory of mas only this one shady and aeolnritd alley next the wall seems constantly need and i won- derterymneh whose feet hare trodden it ao frequently that no sue or weeds lars grown over it as they have grown over the rest of the place my wonder is uu i have done whet i ought not fa have

aad doekwaed cow abom i ha threakstd aad grey snails takane their ttcde ia the keyhole tad a spider spina a grey wsb across it stuck full of the tags aad wings of moths snd bumblebee end hooka if it had not been opened for denturiee i ooald almost believe i had dreamed of finding it open dd i not some times hear the alow tumble of wheele tnaide the wall i never hear the sound of voicea old nancy

up and down with nobody in it mt aa old servant i also wonder why nancy keeps her face tied up ia that thick green veil bat i sever ik any question and indeed forget fa ak them when i have the chance i leaving the shrubbery today again ab sorbed in the question of cbokehore or no chokebore chilled shot snd shot that is not chilled t find myself in the drive walking slowly with my hands ia my pockets and my eyes oo ike ground it ia all the same to me where i walk when- my thoughts get on a question connected with sport bail am suddenly aware of a lady ceasing to wards me lookingsbout heseagerlysad ear- iaoaly a taffllender woman in a brown silk drees brown cloth paletot a brown bonnet with a pale rose in it a abort thinriih veil aad carrying a alim silk umbrella in her hand i i wonder who she can be i have certain ly never seen her here before and yet aometh in her face strikes me as beug strangely familiar fa me she is what a frenchman would politely call between the ages she has a sallow face sharp fee tares hlsck wavy hair and a pair of re markably bright brown eyes that give me an unoomfortibie impression of having aeea them before either in a dream or in reality she looks hard at me a ahe passes and turns fa look after me i know it because i tarn fa look at her and catch her doing it on my way back i meet her aeain this time she i ussii s over to me and ad dresses me with extreme politeness again i am startled by the familiar sound of her voioe pardon me but can you tell me who lives in the great house yonder i doctor cirsw lives there did you

mixture of cana dian french and yankee and i fancy her flections savour ot the latter nationality leave her standing in the middle of tie drive swinging her slim umbrella fa snd fro acftiy pondering what ahe haa heard or perhaps what she has not heard i i mention the incident fa jack but it does not interest him she is a stringer to the piece evidently probably belongs to some parb of american touriia staying at the hotel higher up the river there ia ana fishing on the river and a great many peo ple come dowa fa stay st the little hotel during the ashing snd shooting season it it kept by a
