"I let no one drive me," she answered. "Youw said you would be friends with "Lord Aubrey!" she muttered. "I beg iour pardon," he said, urging Selim to her side, "for taking this lib erty. They told me at the stables that you had gone out, and when I saw you ahead of me, I knew who it was." "You do no tneed to apologize," she answered coldly. "You are surely at liberty to ride where you will." Dandy understood. Besides, he, too, heard the hoofâ€"beats behind him, and he was unwilling to be caught. He stretched his neck and flew swiftly on. But the claueringcbehind came nearer, and Erna turned her head with some inâ€" dignation, as well as with some su:lprin that the horse the groom rode should be able to overtake Dandy. Her face paled and flushed. "The groom is doing better," she thought. "Why, he is coming up to me. Go on, Dandy.‘" | . . The thought stung her. She had been going leisurely along for nearly half an hour, and Dandy was prancing with a desire to stretch his sinewy limbs. She flapped the reins on his neck and he shook his head and leaped into a long, free gallop. Behind her sounded the beat of another horse‘s hoofs. Selim ! ingly. "Ah, I might have you for my own if I would say the word! Ugh! don‘t let me think of it! Sell myself to that old man! And yet it is expected of me. As if I did not know why I was invited here!

She leaned over and patted Dandy‘s arched neek. ure So she checked him by a slight presâ€" sure, feeling better already, and let him dance along in his own way, much to the relief of the groom, who did not relish being left so far in the rear. There was a sense of freedom in this lonely ride in the fresh morning air that she had not felt since the days when she was happy at Aubrey, before the earl, with his hateful vugs, had come to make her miserable. es, she realized it fully; she had been perfectâ€" ly happy until he came, and .fi had been miserable most of the time since. _ "Lord and Lady Gertrude, 1 believe swer. groom T i ons neite en‘ "You were to have whatever you wanted, miss," said the groom.

There is no reason why I should not ride him, is there? The marquis would not object ?" "You were to have whatever you Erna turned her fsce away and csomâ€" menced patting the horse, which seemed to recognize her now, and to enjoy being petted by her. She was silent so long that the groom ventured to say: "He‘s a good horse, they do say." "The best 1 ever saw," she said. "I rode him only once, but it was a most glorious ride." * "You rode him, miss!" exclaimed the man. "Then you must be a good one, beggin‘ your pardon fur the liberty! I‘m told he‘s a hard one to manage." "Yes," she said, and her face flushed, "but he and 1 got along very well toâ€" gether. Ah! if you only h.l:{ such anâ€" other for me this morning!"

"But Lord Aubrey is not here." "Beggin‘ your pardon, miss, he came last night, late." Erna smiled, as one will who has no fear of horses, and pushed him aside while she boldly went into the stall. The horse worked his ears and showed the whites of his eyes, much to the terror of the groom; but Erna went calmly to his head and began to pat him on his glossy neck. Then suddenly she stopped and serutinized the animal closely, ‘Then she stood erect, and with a pale face turned to the groom and cried out: "I beg your pardon, miss!" exciaimed | know that I have offended you, and the man, in alarm, "but it might be danâ€" | that I acted like a selfâ€"sufficient fellow gerous.

Do you find something hervic in your attitude? To me it is ridiculous! There! the groom is coming. I shall appeal to him." For a moment they remained thus, the darkness deepening in Erna‘s eyes, and then fading out. The whip slowly sank, and Erna‘s bosom rose and fell like a stormy sea. Then she spoke in a stranglâ€" ed voice. "Which way do you go*" she demandâ€" ed There were pain and distress in the steady blue eyes that looked into the furious brown ones, but not an eyclash quivered under the expected blow from the uplifted whip.

"It seems to me," she safd, in _ that fierce tone of hers, which betrayed such a war of passion within her, "that you are assuming a great deal. By what right do you dare to tell me what you will or will not permit?" "I cannot permit it," he replied, his blue eyes fived on her with determinaâ€" tion written in them. "It would be madness! 1t is an imposâ€" sible jump. It is worse than the wall." "Let go," she said, her face pale and set. "I am going to try." * Bhe gathered up the reins, to put Danâ€" dy at the wall; but Aubrey, after _ a hasty glance at the jump, put his hand out and caught her bridle. _ "Oh, no," she answered, with a coldâ€" ness in marked contrast with her previâ€" ous joyousness. *"Why should I be ofâ€" fended? I ought to be proud that you would take so much trouble. There is a very pretty wall, with water the other side. They said at the stable that this horse was as good as Selim. Here is a chance to make a test; I know what Selim can do." "I am gled I followed you," he said, inâ€" cautiously. "Followed me!" she repeated. He looked dismayed for a moment, and then laughed, and said, frankly : "It is the truth. I heard you gallop by my window.

He smiled gravely. "That is one way of stating it," he said; "I think I was at that time alâ€" most dead to all human emotion. If you only knew what I had gone through you might find it easier to forgive me." _ "I forgive you, she said, suddenly, putting her hand out in her old frank wey., > "I don‘t know," he replied. "It does not matter. I keep wondering all the time how I can convince you that 1 value your goodâ€"will. I often think of the day on the cliff when you offered me your hearty goodâ€"will and fellowship, and I am aghast at myself for acting as 1 did. Won‘t you believe that I thought I was doing what was best for you*" "Why should it matter to you whethâ€" er I am friendly or not?" she asked, her voice quavering a little. She turned and looked into his eyes, her face betraying more emotion than he had suspected. he had been regarding her. She turned with flashing eyes. "You do not need to apologize," she torted. "I said distinetly that I could not force my liking." "Yes, you did say so. I did not mean to misquote you. I was thinking more of my hopes than of what you did acâ€" tually say.

(To be continued.) _ When Erna came down she was surâ€" rounded, according to custom, and was soon busy answering questions, and laughingly=~protested that she would never have taken the jump if she had known so much fame was to be acquired by it. Then, when she saw the opportunâ€" ity, she exclaimed: "What a termagant!" he said; and then he thought: "Where is the oths» girl who would have dared to do that jamp t "What I can‘t comprehend," he zeâ€" flected, "is why she should so suddealy become angry with me, just at the very moment when I was rejoicing in the friendship 1 had been longing for.

I thought you reâ€" ferred to Captain Merriwether." sion as Erna had that morning. But, in fact, the more he thought of Erna, the more he dwelt on the astonishing beauty she had displayed in her fury. "Isn‘t he a fascinating man?" retorted the marchioness, inwardly thinking men the stupidest of creation, "Think of his reputation! think of his good looks, his wealth, his youth! I thought you knew he was the very man of men you should not have here. You certainly seemed to speak that way when you conferred with me at Romley." "Whyâ€"whyâ€"â€"" stammered the marâ€" quis, taken aback by the tone, "isn‘t he a kinsman of Erna?" "What evil spirit possessed you to inâ€" vite the Earl of Aubrey here?" she deâ€" manded, with considerable asperity. Lord Aubrey, in the meantime, wa# having a very wretched time of it,. He was well aware of the fact that he ought to utterly condemn any young woman who would fly into such a pasâ€" "They say!" repeated Lady Romicy, scornfully, "Wait until it is announced. I wish he were engaged to her. But to think of bringing them here! Marâ€" quis, I would as lief have" thrown a match into a powder magazine." "Well, it‘s too late now," said the marchioness, "All we can do is to watch and wait. Erna may treat him horribly. She did the last time they met, and may again. For your sake, my dear marquis, 1 hope she will." The marquis was in despair. "But," he protested, "Aubrey is as good as engaged to Lady Gertrude, they "Well, do come down," she said, "Gerâ€" trude is just green with envy at your performance of this morning; but I don‘t believe she intends trying it, too." About the same time Lady Romley was talking privately with the marquis. _ Violet shrugged her shoulders, like one who feels that she may be treading on unsafe ground, "You are mistaken," replied Erna; "we are the best of friends. The carl was out riding with me this morning, part of the time." _ "Oh, you knew it. Well, do come and show yourself, They are all crazy to see you. I wonder why the marquis asked the earl and Lady Gertrude here. _ He must have known you were not good friends." "Lord Aubrey and the _ Morehams," said Erna, composedly. _ _ "That sounds weM from you, my dear, but nobody else would say it. But what do you think?â€"who do you _ think is here ?" "They are making a great fuss over wrxmlitt.le," said Erna. w it o it dboe Te o s se & "Well, what have I been doing?" in quired Erna, quietly. BC o _0 oo nemie ie oys "Why, everybody is talking about you. They say you went out this morning to ride, and took a jump nobody has ever dared to take before." None of the guests were yet stirring when Erna returned to the castle, and she shut berself in her apartments and remained there until late in the morning, when Violet came to seek her, erying out the moment she was admitted. "Why, Erna! what have you been doâ€" ing ?" mg The groom was dumb with astonishâ€" ment and admiration, Thenceforward the moedel of womankind, in his eyes, would be Miss March; and at that moment the worst he wished her was that she would marry the marquis, his master, and that he would die within a month of the wedding. There was a dread instant of uncerâ€" tainty, and then the noble animal was safe on the other side. Over! She had deâ€" fied Lord Aubrey; she had made _ the jump in spite of him; and she would go heme triumphant. Dandy quivered in evâ€" ery muscle, but he took the smaller jump lower down in gallant style and seemed to delight in the praise of his rider, It was an ugly wall, with a bad takeâ€" ofi and a worse landing. But Erna had studied all that and had unerringly picked out the best ?ot to make the atâ€" tempt. On flew Dandy, steady now, and determined to do honor to the courage of his mad rider. "Hit" she cried, and lifted her whip. Dandy planted his feet fairly on the takeâ€"off seiected, and with a mighty efâ€" fert, rose in the air, his magmificent muscles standing out in his thighs like: ridges of iron, Over he flew, his nostrils distended, hi. large eyes standing out of his galâ€" lant head, and seeming to almost buoy himself in the air. The wall and water stretched beneath him. Erna sat him as if a part with him, now leaning forward, now swaying backward. Erna had brought the wuip down on Dandy‘s flank, and he haa sprung forâ€" ward as if projected from a gun. _ He knew what he was expected to do as well as if he had understood what had been said. For a moment he seemed disposed to shirk it; but, as the groom noted with horrorâ€"stricken admiration, Eina steadied him, slowed him a trifle, and â€"got him into his stride. He could not move to overtake her. Besides, it would have been useless, and he could only sit there and stare in hborror at the foolâ€"hard« attempt. But she did not wish to fail if she could help it. So when she reached the Jump on her return, she rode up to it id examined it. It was a terrible jump, with death or broken bones lurkâ€" ing ca the other side. But Erna‘s was a temper so furious that the danger was an added attraction. "Surely,; missâ€"â€"" began the groom "Heaven‘s merey! she‘ll be killed!" "That‘s the envy of the country, miss," said the groom, touching his cap. "Why," she curtly demanded. "It looks tempting, but nobody dares try it." "Ah," ejaculated Erna, _ closing her white teeth. Ske knew it was a reckless thing to do, but she was so furious with the earl and still more furious with herself, that she awou‘ld not have been dissuaded by any argument that could have been adâ€" duvced. fei for it, and her too.

In his recent lecture in Washington, Professor Penck said that it has been known for quite a long time that in western Europe man existed during the glacial epoch. We now know that the great ice age consisted of different glaâ€" cial times separate by interglacial times. In glacial times the snowâ€"line dropped 3,000 or 4,000 feet below its present level in the Alps, whereas in in terglacial times separated by interglacial times, than at present. Thus the temâ€" perature seems to have been higher in the interglacial periods than it is now. There is abundant evidence, says Profes sor Penck, that man existed juriq the beginning of the last glacial _ epoch.

This includes gasoline oll and repairs of all kinds. A Tudhopeâ€" Mclntyre automobile is thus within the reach of a man of moderate income, High wheels and full elliptical springs make it possible to use wolid rubber tires instead of pneumatic, without eacrificing the easyâ€" riding qualities. This means, of course, a very substepiial reduction in the first cost of the machine, and an even more important reduction in the cost of upkeep. When you figure that pueumatic tires on the ordinary aute cost on an average at least 5 cents a mile, while the solid rubber ones cost pracâ€" tically nothing, you kill realize how importâ€" ant the saving is. . a 60 oifi d It follows closely the lines of the almost universally used buggy, and has all the easyâ€"riding, longâ€"wearing qualities of that popular vehicle.
