Che _ Grep But day after day slipped by, and sanguine as Kitty was, even she beâ€" gan to despair, so slow was the proâ€" gress she made with Teetotum. It was true she had got her to jump a little ; but it was not in her old style ; :t was always in a nervous, startled manner, which showed that the mare had not at all recovered her confidence. Any one who witnessed her performance at present would have predicted that either with hounds or in a steeplechase she was pretty certain to give her rider a fall. And do what she would Kitty could not improve her. She had never ventured to take her to a meet for fear of the consequences ; but one day, when she was out riding, Kitty " No," replied the girl, "I‘m not goâ€" ing to bother her much these few mornâ€" ings, and then I think it will be best to bein with the artificial fences in the barn close ; she knows them well, and if we can only induce her to take those, she will regain her confidence." But Kitty found that Mr. Colaton had not in the least exaggerated in his acâ€" count of Teetotum. When she was shown a fence the next morning she trembled violently, and began to look with a startled air, both to the right and left of her, evidently with the meâ€" mory of Jenkins and that long thorn binder which he had used so mercilessâ€" ly ; but jump she would not. _ Joe Burton, who was out to witness the experiment, shouted out : When Teetotum returned to Lowood it was quite a curious thing to witness her recognition of her young mistress. She rubbed her nose against Kittys‘ shoulder, whinnied and as far as a horse could do, expressed her delight at seeâ€" ing her again. ‘The girl fondled and caressed her, as she murmured: " Don‘t hurry her, Kitty ; she‘ll never be cured except by coaxing." " You‘re in sad disgrace, my dear, and they tell me you will never jump again. But you will for me, I know. and you will have to begin toâ€"morrow morning." " I don‘t call that getting over,," said Dick, dryly. "I shall send her back to Hampshire toâ€"morrow. _ She must jump in very different style from that If she is ever to win a steeplechase. She can, and in time, when she has quite got over her fright, perhaps she may again, but she‘ll never do so with us. You‘ve made a deuce of a misâ€" take ; you‘ve only substituted one fear for another." = " It‘s no use, Jenkins," he said, " she certainly gets over, and its rather a wonder she does ; she jumps so high, she looks as if she would come down in the same place ; but as for her fencâ€" ing in that manner, if she were really galloping it would be of course absurd; she would go head over heels almost immediately." " Well,*sir," replied the stud groom, " it surely is better she should get over in some shape that not get over at all." This could hardly be termed satisâ€" factory. Jenkins had armed himself upon this occasion with a heavy driving whip, which, however, his master perâ€" emptorily forbade him to make use of, but the mere sight of it had the desired effect. Teetotum jumped the fence selected for her some half dozen times, but always in the same startled panicâ€"stricken manner, and it was quite evident that it was only her terâ€" ror of Jenkins that impelled her to the attempt. Dick _ Colaton _ speedily brought that lesson to a conclusion. So convinced was Jenkins of the efficacy of this species of instruction that he literally flogged her or hunted her over the fence three or four times, until in the end she was so terrified by Jenkins and his "pleacher" that of two evils she had apparently electâ€" |ed to choose the less and jumped the fence to escape from the wrath of the angry stud groom, but jump though she did, it was always in the same way, right up in the air, which though though it landed her safely over the trifling fence she was set to compass, would have certainly brought her to grief over a larger obstacle. Contentâ€" ed with the success he had achieved, Jenkins now took his charges home and reported what he had done to his master, Dick was very angry. The man had been with him some time, was a good man and not given to lose his temper with his horses, and Dick quite recognized that there were occasions upon which it was quite necessary to try what coercion would do. If Teeâ€" totum had been his he would have lookâ€" ed upon it that Jenkins had probably exercised a wise discretion, but he was particularly anxious to return the mare to Lowood with the assurance that noâ€" thing but persuasion had been resorted to and that she had never been punâ€" ished for her contumacy. Now it was impossible for him to say that, and he thought it would be well to see the folâ€" lowing morning what the effects of this lesson might be. _ _The boy did as he was told, turned the mare a few yards back and then put her at the fence. As usual, she stopped and shivered, with glaring eyes and distended nostrils, and then without more ado Jenkins gripped his "pleacher" and proceeded to adminisâ€" ter a severe castigation to his »bstinâ€" ate charge mcross her quarters. _ At first it seemed to produce no effect in the desired direction, but the boy upon her held her in a grip of iron, and at last the punishments got more than she could bear. Gathering up her courage, she suddenly bucked over it, much after the manner in which she had jumped that first hurdle with Kitty. ‘‘Never you mind, my lad. I‘ll do what flogging I think necessary myâ€" self," and so saying he walked up to a heap of cut thorns that were lyâ€" Ing not far off, took a long "pleacher" out of it, ad taking his trar dtwrfm out of it, and taking his stand by the fence, said : "Bring her down again quletly, quite slow, mind, and she goes over this time, or I‘ll know the reason why," "If you let me have a whip, Mr. Jenkins, or pair of spurs, I might get her over." She showed no sign of temper, but she was evidently afraid t> try to Jump. Coaxing having proved unaâ€" vailing, Jenkins, the stud groom, rather lost his temper and called upon the boy to ride his temper and called upon the boy to ride her at it in the most determined fashion, but all with no avail. At last the lad said : } CHAPTER VII } KITTY 18 AGAIN CONFIDENT. _ But before Dick Colaton was able to send away Teetotum from Tatterton an incident took place which made things worse than ever. The stud groom, a steady, goodâ€"tempered and capable man, had Teetotum out early one morning in company with a veteâ€" ran hunter of his master‘s called Padâ€" dy, and after giving the pair a brisk canter set to work once more to induce the mare to jump. It was apparently hopeless; in vain did the boy on Paddy give her lead after lead over a very easy fence; she could not be induced even to face it Her rider patted her, coaxed her, and brought her down again and again just behind her vetâ€" eran compainion, who didn‘t know what it was to refuse, but Teetotum always stopped dead short and tremâ€" bled. DICEK‘S GREAT RACE TORONTO The letter duly dispatched, Kitty set to work more assiduously than ever to perfect her charge. Joe Bourton breathâ€" ed not word of his intention that his mare should compete at Liverpool, and that idea never for one moment crossâ€" ed the minds of the habitues of the Tedworth hunt, at whose meets, when on their side of the country, Kitty was now & pretty constant attendant. One thing they certainly did notice, what a very smart hunter Teetotum had beâ€" ‘ And so it was arranged that a few days more and Kitty should write to ‘Mr. Colaton, in her father‘s name, inâ€" forming him of the change that had come over Teetotum, of what they proâ€" posed doing, offer him the mount in the Grand National, and in the event of his acceptance, suggest to him the advisability of coming down to ride the mare in her gallops and schooling. "In short," said Joe, " you must make him understand that unless he is preâ€" pared to do that I don‘t consider that he can possibly do Teetotum justice in the race on account of her pecullarities â€"that we attribute the disaster at Derby mainly to the fact that he and Teetotum didn‘t understand â€" each other." ‘so, Let him come down here three or four weeks before the race, and make friends with Teetotum, under my guidance. I‘ve got to understand her at last. Sbe has plenty of courage, but she‘s a nervous thing. She will do anything for you when she knows you, but she is afraid of strangers, and I don‘t believe she would ever have had that fall at Derby if she had only known Mr. Colaton. ‘There‘s more to be done by ta‘king to her than there is with whip and spur. If Mr. Colaâ€" ton had only known her, and encourâ€" aged her at that fatal fence at Derby I don‘t believe she‘d have made any mistake over it. _ You should just see her shake her head when I speak to her, as much as to say," continued the girl, laughing, "‘ All right, young woâ€" man, don‘t be frightened ; I‘ll be careâ€" ful.‘" s " Oh, father, he must ride ; I know Derby was a bitter disappointment to him. He‘s a good horseman, and I‘m sure nothing you could name would please him so much as to ride the winâ€" ner of the Grand National, and we‘ve got her in the stable, father ; you and I know it, though nobody else thinks "I dunno, lassâ€"I dunno ; he‘s a good man, but somehow he‘s unlucky. | He never does, somehow, get ‘em home in front." " We can‘t stand being scolded every day, my gal, and I‘m getting pretty tired of being chaffed every week in Andover market. We may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. Sink or swim, break the bank or burst, we‘ll go for the Grand National. It‘s not likely it will come off, but if Teetotum only runs forward in it, that will sell her, and show, besides, that we wereâ€" n‘t altogether out in our reckoning." "I had her out this morning, father, and she went beautifully. I can put her and take her anywhere. â€" The quesâ€" tion is, Will she do for any one else what she does for me ? _ You must write to Mr. Colaton, father, and ask him to come down here and ride her a bit. You would like him to ride her in the big race, wouldn‘t you ?" Dear, good lady, was it likely <here was an end of it? As if Kitty and her father would not be treated with this Jeremiad daily, and as if they didn‘t agree between themselves at last that they must either justify their amâ€" bition by winning a big race with Teeâ€" totum or part with that fair deceiver. aâ€"flying in the face of Providence and aâ€"throwing of money into the fire that Joe ought to be ashamed of ; as for Kitty, well whether a giddy, flyâ€"awayâ€" thing like her broke her neck or no, perhaps, wasn‘t of much consequence. At all events, her father didn‘t seem to think so. _ If she thought trapesing about with the hounds was the best way to get married she was mistaken. Hardâ€"working men of their class didn‘t want hunting wives ; they wanted a helpmate that would look after the house and the dairy, who knew what butter was a pound, and how to get the top price in the market. Well, she should have her daughter brought home on a hurdle, and they should finish their days generally in the workâ€" house, and ali she would ask her husâ€" band to remember when that time should come would be that she had alâ€" ways said so; that she had always protested against that racing rubbish; that she had said her say now, and there was an end of it." so. * She had never known any good come of backing race horses ; but the backing of race horses to jump, which it was well known they couldn‘t, was In the days of which I am writing the Grand National was a very differâ€" ent race from what it is now ; I mean in the interest it evoked and the very heavy betting that used to take place upon it. Such stakes as thirty thouâ€" sand pounds were often taken out of the ring on this occasion, and when Salamander won his owner and friends were credited with winning quite that amount, while at the very fall of the flag long odds were obtainable about their horse. So many horses had been trained, schooled and kept on purpose for this event, all of which were heayâ€" ily backed to win large sums, that a horse without previous winning credenâ€" tlals was pretty sure to be unnoticed by the general public, by which is meant that general public which specuâ€" lates on race horses. _ He might be sanguine, but it is not to be supposed that Joe Bourton had been, as yet, so mad as to back Teetotum ; whenever that mania should seize him he would be likely to get very liberal offers, inâ€" deed, against his mare, for it required much faith after the performance at Derby to believe in the possibility of her getting over the course at Aintree, and the more people knew about Teeâ€" totum the less belief would they have in that whimsical animal. Mrs. Bourton was, as might have been supposed, a real comfort to the two conspiratorsâ€"If they may be called When Joe Bourton heard of this his enthusiastic disposition caught fire at once, and he instantly proclaimed that they would win the Liverpool. He had never even yet ventured to disclose to his wife and daughter that Teetotum was nominated for that event ; and as a mare that had merely tumbled into a ditch at Derby, her name had attractâ€" ed no attention among the entries with the racing community, doubtful, inâ€" deed, whether Mr. Hanway and his sporting brethren had even noticed it. unexpectedly came across the hounds, Teetotum cocked her ears, fidgeted on the road, was evidently excited, and suddenly an inspiration selzed the girl; the hounds were running in a field to her right, and without more ado Kitty suddenly put her mare at the small fence which separated her from them. It was an easy country, and the hounds were not running very fast. Teetoâ€" tum‘s blood was up. She seemed to have recovered her nerve, and till they lost their fox in a large cover not very far beyond them Kitty found herself carried beautifully. ‘True, she had not ridden over anything big, but still the mare had jumped freely and confidentâ€" ly in the style she was wont to do beâ€" fore her illâ€"starred visit to Derby. CO. GREY, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, I am writing a very differâ€" now ; I mean and the very to take place ""No, Mr. Colaton," said the farmer, "I want you up on the other, please. The black horse will carry you nicely. Before you get on Teetotum we want her to get thoroughly used to the sight of you, and also to the sound of your voice. Kitty will tell you that she can do more by talking to her than in any other way. ‘There‘s no nasty temper about her, but she‘s a terrible nervous mare, and she‘li never do herâ€" self justice unless she knows you." So that morning Dick Colaton on the black horse simply led Teetotum in her work. ‘They went schooling after the canter, and Dick was fain to conâ€" fess that nothing could go and jump better than Teetotum did in Kitty‘s hands. The question was, how would it be when he should get upon her The Bourtons welcomed Dick Colaâ€" ton with the utmost cordiality, and when the next morning he was taken to see Teetotum, he was fain to admit that she looked ready to run for her life, and that if she was only half as good as she looked she must have a chance in any company. . But he was destined to be considerably surprised the next morning, when upon getting up early to ride Teetotum in her exerâ€" clse, he found that was not Bourton‘s intention. "Rather a big if," muttred Dick Colaton, as he read ms cousin‘s letâ€" ter, "and I wonder what sort of a man they will consider me; it seems almost impossible that they can have so utâ€" terly changed that mare, and yet Bob is not the man to talk at random, and call Teetotum a fine fencer, beâ€" cause he has seen her do a small hedge and ditch in good style; however, time is getting on, and the sooner I go to Lowood and see about things the betâ€" ter." ‘ He wrote to Dick Colaton, and told him that he had been somewhat preâ€" mature in returning Teetotum. "I cannot understand," he continued, "how it was she came to grief with you; a finer fencer I never set eyes upon. _ You laugh at the idea of sendâ€" ing her to Liverpool, but Bourton is determined to run her for the Grand National, and is wonderfully mysterâ€" lous about who is to steer her. . Of course, I know he will meet among her opponents may far above the class of ordinary hunters, but if you saw her go here, I‘m sure you would say that she herself is that; several of us think if there is only a good man up, she most certainly possesses & chance." ’ Stilt in Hampshire, although the first idea of Joe Bourton‘s mare going for the Liverpool was met with a roar of laughter yet a few of the men who had seen her out lately began to think that she might have an offâ€"chance. ‘They had not witnessed her failure, bear in mind; but they had seen her go remarkably well on many occasions, and inquiries began to be made as to who was to have the mount; but this the Bourtons kept a profund soâ€" cret; indeed, if Dick Colaton should reâ€" fuse, Joe Bourton did not quite know where he should look for a jocksy, and Colaton‘s reply to Kitty had been diplomatically couchedâ€"he was willing to ride, he said, provided that he and Teetotum got on together during the fortnight he proposed to stay at Loâ€" wood. Among those most strongly impressâ€" ed with Tectotum‘s capabilities was Mr. Robert Waters. He knew that his cousin had thought very highly of the mare, and until the flasco at Derby had been anxious to purchase her; now he believed him to have washed his hands of her altogether, and it never entered his head that Dick Colaton might be asked to ride her again; be was very curious to know who was to have the mount at Liverpool; as for the matter of that so were most of the people round Lowood. The mystery about it maintained by Joe Bourton naturally whetted their desire to learn the jockey‘s name. Waters was a man who rather liked & modest bet on a big race, and about Teetotum, heâ€"knew that a very liberal price would be always obtainable. "Mr. Bourton must be mad to think she can have the ghost of a chance of winning there, but I sha‘n‘t think him half as mad as you, Mr. Colaton, if you ride her. She will most likely give you another nasty fall, and you may not come out of it so well as you did at Derby." But it was evident not only did Kitty expect him to ride, but she looked forward to his winning ; and himself, he could see no prospect of even getâ€" ting through the race respectably. Well, one thing was clear, it would be be very good fun to go for two or three weeks to Lowood, and in that time, he thought, Teetotum would probably setâ€" tle the question for him, and prove, even to the satisfaction of sanguine Kitty Bourton, that it would be useless to send her to Liverpool. When he mentioned to Jenkins that he had been asked to ride Teetotum for the Grand National, that worthy replied : To do Dick justice, he had no thought about his neck, but he rather shrank from the idea of making a show of himself. ‘The raillery about his Derby flasco had been hard to put up with, and that he, an unknown man, should dream of riding that unlucky mare in the Grand National would provoke much jronical comment among his sporting companions. CHAPTER VIII CLEVERLY wox. When Dick Colaton got Kitty‘s letter he was simply thunderstruck. The idea of attempting to win the Derby of steeplechasing with a horse that had fallen before she had gone a mile in her only public essay ! Liverpool was a course that required a thorough fencer to get over it, and though be had no doubt that they had succeeded in making Teetotum do better than she had with him, still this was filying at high game with a vengeance. . ‘Then even supposing that the mare was good enough, which he didn‘t for one momâ€" ent believe, was he himself fit to ride in a race in which he would have to meet all the best horsemen in Engâ€" land ? ‘True, he knew there had been cases in which a by no means brilliant rider had steered his horse to victory, but in that case he felt certain that the winner must have had a great deal in hand, and he certainly did not think that was the case with Teetotum. She was fast, undoubtedly among hunters, and if they had got her to jump well caressing her, there could be no doubt Dick had made Teetotum know him might perhaps pick up a minor steepleâ€" chase, but to win the Grand Nationa! required something better than he conâ€" sidered she was. What was he to do what was he to say ? He wouldn‘t for the world offend Miss Bourton, an« she wrote to him as if the possibilit; of his refusing to ride had never pre sented itself to her mind. come, In that rather easy country she fenced beautifully, and it was comâ€" mon talk with the Hunt that when it became a question of speed, Miss Bourton could cut them all down. Kitty meanwhile was living in a sort of charmed dream, destined to culminâ€" ate in the victory of Teetotum and her own wedding ; the two things had got inextricably mixed in her mind, and that somehow Dick Colaton‘s triâ€" umph at Liverpool would lead to his marrying her she had quite persuadâ€" ed herself. schools and churches have been closed, Many natives are selling themselves and their children into slavery ‘to obtain food, The missionaries in Ugogo and Mambolan have joined others in an appeal for aid, Lady Phillimore‘s Poultry. It is a common belief that members of the English aristocracy do not do a tap of work from year‘s end to year‘s end, All of them do not live in idleness and luxury. For instance : Lady Prillimore, the wife ot Admiral Sir Augustus Pnillimore, at her place in Hampshire, has made a profitable experiment in poultry rearing for the marâ€" ket, and she purposes to continue this form of small industry. Out of six hunderd ogge purchased at 3 cents each she secured 487 chickens, which in the Winchester and London markets realized $300. Her im« mediate expenses were $127 ; but in order to arrive at the net profits it will be necesâ€" sary to deduct from the balance of §175 odd an allowance for interest,rent and depreciaâ€" tion of plant, Sell Themselves for Food.

"I congrasalate you,. with all my heart, lass," said Joe Bourton. "You‘ve done well out of the business," he continued, with a jolly laugh; "for you‘ve landed a husband out of it, and what‘s more, a better fellow never drew on topâ€"boot than the Squire." When Kitty told her pmro engagement, she received i acteristic felicitations from them. "Nonsense, Dick; but remeraber, your neck is not your own nroperty rowW, and I‘ll not have it risked any mere." The pretty rir of author‘‘ty se asâ€" sumed over him was very sweet to Colaton, and he wont into the Fouse so elated by his good for: ine that he had a vision of being cheered as victor at Aintree, and the chime of wedding bells faintly audible amid the hurâ€" rahs of the crowd. ‘That‘s a b Dick, laughing cession, either, only wise to To have tak steeplechasing for the remair I‘m beaten, I cluslon that 1‘ ness." "‘Don‘t be frightened, Kitty, I feel sure Teetotum won‘t make a mistake. and have a prcecntment that I shall win both a Grand National and a wife before the month is out." ‘"You know what I would have, tinued Dick. _ "Will you give me selt ?" "I think, Mr. Colaton, I could have given you that whether you rode for us or not, and now you fill me witt fear,. I begin to think J was wrong to ask you; if" anything happens to you, I shall never forgive myself." Dick‘s sole reply was to clasp her in his arms, and, as he kissed her, he said gaily : "You must make me one promise, Dick, that this shall be your last steepâ€" lechase ? Father says it is the last horse he shall ever run, and you must promise that it is the last race you ever ride." A pause of some seconds, and then a little hand stole into Dick‘s, and Kitty replied : But the girl remained silent downcast eyes. "Yes, and when you come to know people you get to care for them, and wonder whether you dare ask them to do what you want. Ah! Kitty, I am anxious to win this Liverpool for your sake. If I do my best, will you give me what I ask for riding Teetotum ? You know what I mean." By constantly going into her b thoroughly, and at length Kit cided that it was time for him t her. It was rather an anxious ing when they changed their tomed mounts, and Kitty appeai the old black horse, while Dick y the back of the favorite. . How she behave when it came to the ing ?

When they came in to breakfast, and Mrs. Bourton had expressed her usual surprise at seeing Kitty return safelyâ€"for the good lady was fond of picturing every conceivable catasâ€" trophe connected with Teetotum, from finishing their career in the Union to her only child being brought home a gory corpse on a sheepâ€"hurdle, and loudly bewailing what she called her husband‘s mad infatuation to any one who would listen to herâ€"*"What," she would ask, "has a plain English farmâ€" er to do with horse racing ? ‘There‘s Joe, wasting his time, spending his money, and risking his child‘s neck, all because he has got it into his head that he owns a wonder in horseflesh. As every one knows, she is always well beaten whenever she runs. You! are a single man, Mr. Colaton, and have ncither wi‘e nor family, but I should think even you might besitate before throwing your life away, u‘ you too probably may in riding this wonder of Joe‘s at Liverpool." 1 "‘Never you mind, misses," the farmâ€" °r would reply, goodâ€"humoredly, "this is the only raceâ€"horse I‘ve got left, and win or lose, this is the very last shy I‘m going to have at it In the meantime, what‘s the use of looking at the black side of things ?" But if Mrs. Bourton took a despenâ€" pondent view of things, it was not likeâ€" ly that Dick Colaton would continue to do so; he might have had misgivâ€" Ings about the Liverpool to start with, pictured himself, for instance, vainly trying to induce Teetotum to jump the first fence among the jJeers of the crowd. _ But that view of the case was specdily dissipated; it was imâ€" possible to be riding and schooling with Kitty every morning and not pet infected with the girl‘s own enthusâ€" lasm, and she seemed able to do what she liked with the mare. _ Dick had not the slightest thought of refusing the mount now; he felt quite ready to risk his neck, and a spare one to boot, If he had had it, to gratify pretty Kitty Bourton.

It is true that men are much more exâ€" to cold frost and biting winds, which ing about the affection, than are women, but in the few casee which have come under Dr. Chabbert‘s notice where men have sufâ€" fered, the patients bave almost invariably been cleanâ€"shaven. o â€" To some men it must be a relief to find that they still have some ancient privileges aflun‘ neurslgia, and, lastly, it is now claimed to be of great assistance in ward. ing off toothache. The reason for this new theory is a very simple one, In the first place, the beard is a great safeguard to all those who suffer from sore or weak throats; it is a protection Now, however, it appears that the beard is not only ornamental, but decidedly useâ€" ful as those who do not shave are much less subjected to facial troubles than those who submit to the razor.
