Tho the skins naturally, To Dorothy, Barbara at this time was a wonderful study, of which she was never tired. For Barbara had been born and bred in the cour.try, and had lived more dyun at Graveleigh Hall than Dorothy could rememâ€" ber, and her comments on town people and town ways were more than amusing. x So he went away, with a lump in his throat which made him glad he was safe in a cab, leaving Dorothy to face the next week by herseltâ€"that is to say, except for Barbara, who was jubilant st having got her long holiday cver and delighted to be at work again. _ _ e } *‘Ah! no, no, of course not," he answered relieved. ‘"All the same, though, did you not teli me the otner day that you had & cousin somewhere or other *" **By no means, Dick," interrupted: Doroâ€" thy, quietly. **Esther is just as likely to T, ofl for the summer to New Zealand or "inland as to come to London. And she would not specially hunt me up if she did come here. . She is beautiful, and rich, and very independent in her mind, but she is six years oider than [ am, and thinks very little of family ties. In any case, supposing that I met her in London toâ€"morrow, she would certainly not try to pry into my affairs, and even if I had your leave to tell her part of the truth, she is perfectly safe. I assure you that you never need worry yourse!f for m single moment about my cousin Esther." ‘"But you don‘t want to look married and dignified," he cried, half alarmed. **Suppose youmeet someâ€" one you know, and‘"‘..___ ** But, my dear child she won‘t be in Egypt always," he rejoined; ‘and if she comes back to London, which she is sure to do"â€"_â€"â€"â€" So Dick was pacified, and the following day went off to Colchesterâ€"not in a very happy frame of mind, all the same. "I hate leaving you, Dolly," he said vexedly. "I hate it. I‘we a good mind to throw up my commission and trust to Fate and the old savage." * Dick, Dick !" she cried, "how can you be so foolish? Supposing that ‘the old savage‘ did turn round on you and stopped your allowance, where would you be then ? If you are in the army you have always the chance of going to India, and I don‘t know that I would not rather be in India as Mrs. Aylmer than have these dreadful partings here." t o «* No, no," he cried, Lastily.

Really 1 wouldn‘t worry wbout that if I were you, dearest, and as for my being dallâ€"why, I never am dull. 1 never have been used to having more than one person at a timeâ€" Auntie all my life. and now you.

Dick suggested that she might go to Chelmsâ€" ford and take rooms there for the time ; but Dorothy had stayed more than once in that sleepy little town, and it was thereâ€" fore almost as impossible as Colchester itself. So finally they agreed that there was uo place to hide oneself and have a good time all the same, and therefore they . came back to town during the last week of Dick‘s leave, and they took a little flat in Kensington, just where Dorothy and Barbara could get on very comfortably without amy other servant, and yet could be near to good swhops and & tolerably lively street. ** Ab ; they did things in a queer sort of Six months had gone byâ€"asix glorious and blissfully happy months, during which Mr. and Mrs. Harris kept their secret well,and Dick wae all the world to his wife Doroâ€" thy. There was no one, in short, to remind her of the past but Barbara, an old retainer of her auat‘s, who adored ner young mistress and would not be parted from her. o It was not likely that she would meet David Stevenson agzin,. She had lett him behind her with her old life at Graveleigh, miserable enough, she was @ure, for his love had been very strong and sincere, and would probably hannt his life to the end. Fortunately, under the circumstances, there was no one to interfere with Doroâ€" thy‘s plans. Her aunt, Miss Dimsdale, was derd, and m distant cousin, who lived in Egypt, was the only surviving relative. Jt was as Mr. and Mrs. Harris that Dick and Dorothy went out hand in hand to face the world tegethar. But he made up his mind that hewould marry Dorothy Strode, in spite of all the angry uncles in the world, and marry her he did privately, just asif that letter had never been written.

Belleâ€"‘*" So afraid of what ? Afraid he was Â¥oing to propose to you ?" . Nellâ€"** No ; afraid he wasn‘t." A despatch from Pittsburg, Pa., says;â€"â€" Rev. John . Whitchead, of Emsworth, a suburb of Pittsburg, probably saved the lives of many persons on a Cleveland and Pittaburg express train the other night. During the day forest fires had been burnâ€" ing along the track. About midnight Rev. Mr. Whitehead happened to go out on «n errand. . He heard a crashing noise in the vicinity of the railroud track. He knew the midnigbt train would soon be due, and therefore started at once to investigate. On reaching the track he found that two trees which had ourned off at the roots had fallen across both tracks. Rev. Mr. Whitehoad hastened to the _ telegraph tower and informed the operator, who had time to catch the express at the next block above. Here the train was held until the obstruction was cleared. _ *‘Oh, Dick !" reproachfully. ‘*Even when"â€"â€" Dorothy blushed, but she put her arm round his neck and drew hiz mouth down to hers. _ "I shall always love you best of all, Dick,"‘ she said ; ‘‘and however much I may love the child, I shall love it most because of you." ‘‘Yes, I mean David Stevenson," Dick anawered...‘*‘Many a girl would have taken him before a poor pauper dev?i%\, who had to sek his wife to live incog. in a poor little hole like this. Do you know, I went round to have & look ut Stevenson‘s place, Holâ€" dyod, the other day, and when I saw itâ€" shall I tell you what I did, my sweetâ€" heart * *‘Yes," answered Dorothy, in a whisper. "I went round to the churchyard where she lies, our best friend, and I thanked God and her, if she could hear me, that my dear little love had given me her pure love in exchange for mine,and that Mise Dimscale‘s wishes nad never been to part us. Don‘t hurt me again by asking me doubting quesâ€" tions, my darling. Don‘t, Dorothy, don‘t, my dear." % to **Dick, Dick 1" Dorothy cried, ""I never will. _ I love you, love you, love you !" ly "My darling," he said, holding her close to his heart, "I have been no more kind and tender to you than you have been to me. You don‘t set haif enough value on your dear self, the most precious self tome in all the world. Believe me a man does not care so much what his wife knows as what she isâ€"and you forget what l always reâ€" member, that you might have liked the other fellow best, and you didn‘t." "The other fellow," Dorothy faltered *You mean David Stevenson *" Dick laughed aloud at the earnestness of her face and tone. "Oh, po, Dick, no!" she burst out ; ‘‘only you are so good and kind to me, and it seems so wonderful that you, who have been in the world all your life, should take so much trouble for a little nobody like meâ€"I mean that I know nothing, how should I, after living all my life at Graveâ€" leigh 1" ¢ a *‘No," said Dick, promptly, *You really think not *" eagerly. "‘*I don‘t think at all," he said, tenderly, ‘*because I am sure of it. _ What makes you ask me that dearest? . Have 1 ever looked bored or az if I was tired of you ?" "I wonder," she said one day to Dick, *‘whether, when we are able to be always together, you will get tired of me and if I shall bore you ?" Oh course, to set off against this, there were the gay and glorious times when Dick came bome, sometimes only between afterâ€" ncon parade and morning stables, which meant a little dinner somewhere, & theatre after it, and a wild scramble and rush to catch a train leaving Liverpool street at some unearthly hour in the morning. At other times, however, Dick managed to aqueeze a twoâ€"day‘s leave out of his colonel, and then Dorothy feltâ€"ay, and said, poor childâ€"that life was worth living, and that she would not change her lot for that of any other woman in all the wide world. So, poor child, her life alipped by in a continual change from grave to gay, with bright spots of love set in a large surface of unutterable dulness and _ wearying depression." Oh, dear, dear, it was all dreadfully slow, and before she bad been a month in her new home Dorothy was pining, pining for some woman friend to talk to, to confide in, to be friends with. But in town, in London town, it is all so different. It is true that when you get known in London the gossipping is nearly as bad as if you were the centre of a small village set ; but to a girl situated as Dorâ€" othy was, London is a social blank. _ DURHAM, CO. GREY, _ If youlive as Dorothy Strode had been used to live all her lite, you know why Janet Wenham was not at church on Sunâ€" day, and why Elizabeth Middicham s girl left that nice place at Whittington, and how Elizabeth Middlebam cried for days over it, and her girl‘s intention to take ser» vice in London and see life. And you know all about it when Mrs. Jones has her mauve dinnerâ€"gown dyedchestnutâ€"brown, and how it is that the rectory curtains keep clean year after year, althoogh white silk with a delicatelyâ€"tinted stripe would be ruined in three months in some houses.

Ha his heels. While Gregson had been engaged in galloping down Deflance, Dick Colaton had run boldly up to Catâ€" amount, and in a few strides not only deprived him of the lead, but convincâ€" Gregson had been too much occupled in the demolition of Deflance to take note of what was passing behind him, and when ,after jumping Valentine‘s Brook, he threw & glance backward, he was astonished to find Teetotum at There was quite a little cheer folâ€" lowed Teetotum and her rider from the spectators near the brook as they conâ€" |Unued their way alongside the raceâ€" course. _ As they turned into the counâ€" try again, Deflance and Todhunter had closed considerably upon Gamecock Catamount was at the head of the next cluster,now considerably reduced, while Dick Colaton was lying second. Gameâ€" cock maintained his lead till they had cnce more crossed Beecher‘s Brook, |and then it was evident to the experiâ€" enced eyes of Sam Gregson and the rider of Deflance that his bolt was shot, and the former worthy began to think it was high time that he did something in the interests of Cataâ€" mount, and without more ado he took mis horse to the front. The rider of Defance was bothered; at this stage of the race he dared not let such a dangerous opponent get away from him, and yet at the same time he was. quite aware that supposing he raced successfully with this adversary he would very likely be called upon to tackle the favorite a little later. He reckoned the whole thing up quickly in his head ,and came to the concluâ€" slon that he would settle Todhunter at once, and trust to there being nothâ€" Ing able to get to him afterward. The tactics were ingenious in theory, but In practice they rather falled, as, unâ€" fortunately, just before they came to Valentine‘s Brook he became conâ€" sclous that Sam Gregson had settled him. The enthuslasm of ithe stand was thoroughly roused as the two debuâ€" tantes came down to make their first real public essay at water. Cataâ€" mount led a good two lengths. He might be light looking, but at the preâ€" sent moment he looked like galloping on and coming down to the brook withâ€" out a sign of refusal, flew It cleverly. _ Now, old woman," crled Dick, as he followed sult, and Teetotum cocked her ears, quickened her stride, and, as Dick said afterward, went at it as if she had been, jerked out of a cataâ€" pult. _ "Over, old ts Jy," muttered Dick as he pulled his mare together and patâ€" ted her on the neck. "I should think you were, but remember another time, It Isn‘t the canal you‘ve got to jump. I wonder how many feet you did covâ€" er ?" And now they cross Valentine‘s Brook and make the turn down the canal side, and as they do so Dick Colaton begins to feel sanguine of success. . His great anxiety is so far allayed, that Tectoâ€" tum discovers no signs of nervousness, but sails away with him as she was wont over the Hampshire Downs at the tail of Tedworth. She has made nothing of any of the fences, and Dick, who walked all over the course the day before, knew that unless it was the brook in front of the stand, she would now meet nothing likely to upset her nervous temperament. _ As they came down the canal side he ventured to take closer order with his companions. !Ju(‘kson, who was riding the favorite, seemed also In no hurry to take his horse to the front, and was contenting himself at present with holding a good ‘ position in the ruck. . And now leayâ€" Ing the canal they turned their heads for home, and come down the brook opposite the stand, Into which Pullaâ€" way plumps incontinently and upships his jockey, one or two of his attendants @lso blunder at it, and, though not placed hors de combat, lose a conâ€" siderable lot of ground before they can be set going again. This eft Gamecock with a somewhat commandâ€" ing lead, but his rider was a wary old horseman and was not going to be tempted to drive his horse to a ntand-l still because the fates had proved kind to him. The two veterans, Deflance and Todhunter, took the brook almost side by side and now went steadily on in pursult of Gamecock. I "It‘s all right," said Bourton, "she is fencing beautifully with him. . He has plenty of time to catch the leaders between this and homeâ€"they have a very long way to go yet." He was to be very careful not to flurry the mare till she bad thoroughly sctâ€" tled down to her work." On they went pretty well all toâ€" gether till they came to Beecher‘s Brook, where on of the twentyâ€"two competitors blundered and was left beâ€" hind. Once round the turn the rider of Pullaway took advantage of his lead and made the pace pretty strong down the straight stretch on the far mide of the course, his immediate atâ€" tendants beilng a horse called Gameâ€" cock, and two or three others, the names of which are not necessary to this story. _ Next in order came the skyâ€"blue packet of Deflance. and the erlmson sleeves and black cap of old Todhunter; some couple of lengths beâ€". hind him came Catamount, distinguishâ€" e4 from his stable companion by his rider wearing a red cap and lyving comâ€" fortably at the head of the ruck, while positively last of all, although not in the least tafled off, was the orange banner in which alone Kitty felt inâ€" terested. | The preliminary canter was soon over,, and during it many a raceâ€"glass j Was levelled at the goodâ€"looking young {fellow in the orange jacket and black Jeap, who was the hero of this romantic J story. Teetotum was perfectly cool fand well behaved during this prologue jto the great drama about to be enactâ€" led, jumpinx the hurdles in her canter {in faultless fashion, and betraying no [Bigns of nervousness. By this time Ppeople had poured back from the padâ€" |dock, and Miss Bourton‘s personality ‘had become more widely known, and. ‘® good many looks and glasses were Revelled in her direction. But Kitty . was too absorbed in her own rwlings‘ to observe the notice she attracted. A few minutes more and a shout from ‘the carriages next the road proclaimed that the competitors for the Grand Naâ€" ‘tlonal had started on their journey; another minute ,and leaving the Sefton ‘Arms Hotel well behind them, they emerge on to the flat, and, crossing ‘the road, stream down toward the first fence, a pink jacket leading. : *"That‘s Pullaway in front," cried Bob Waters, "and that‘s Deflance in the Iight blue Jacket lying next; but they‘re 1 in a cluster at present, though I n‘t suppose they‘ll be so long." \"Dick‘s lying nearly last, is he not?" @&1d Kitty, whose hand shook so she »uld hardly use her glasses. *Yes," repled her father, "that‘s our t e jJacket lying pretty well last of erything, but you know we settled Dick‘s Great Race. SDAY, MAY 2, 1895. Review. "Sit quiet for a few minutes more," said ‘Waters, authoritatively. "Dick is all right, and has won the Liverpool. Now just drink this glass of sherry and then you and I will go off and congratulate him." By this time the people in her vicinâ€" Mr. Waters was as good as his word; but, no sooner was the race over and his neighbors on the stand became aware of what had happened, than he ~ecelved any amount of assistance; cold water and a tumbler, and more than one friendly flask were proffered him, and in a very few minutes Kitty recovered herself sufficiently to sit up, gulp some cold water, wonder how she could bhave been so foolish, and, with a sickly smile, essayed to speak. Without more ado, Dick got into the scales, and, as soon as the "all right" was pronounced, he threw his great coat over his shoulders, and, accomâ€" panled by Bourton, made his way ‘to the back of the Strand. Bourton felt that there was sense in Mr. Waters‘ advice, and accordingly hurried eff to lead in the winner of the Grand National. _ Dick looked very pale when Bourton at last got hold of !Teetotum's bridle. His mouth twitchâ€" ed a little, and his right arm still hung powerless by his side. "It‘s all right," he exclaimed, as he jumped off, and with his left hand and teeth proceeded to remove Teetotum‘s saddle. "I just got bhome, and now, as soon as I‘ve weighed in, I‘ll be off to the hotel. I don‘t know what‘s wrong, but I feel as if everything was smashed in this arm. . It‘s luck, at all events, that I don‘t want to use it any more toâ€"day, for I‘ve lost all use of 1t." \ "Get down as fast as you can, man, and lead your mare in; never mind Miss Bourton, leave me to take care of ker. She has only fainted, and will be as jolly as a sandboy as soon as she comes to and I‘ve made her underâ€" stand that her sweetheart has won the Liverpool and not broken his neck. I‘ll get her into a carrlage at the back of the Strand as soon as I can, and we‘ll wait there till you and Colaton come to us." x CONCLUsION. Kitty‘s companions had been abâ€" sorbed in the race that they had paid little attention to her, and therefore had not noticed how ghastly pale the girl had been ever since it commenced. Her scream, however, made them turn toward her, She had fallen back in her seat and was white to the very lips. "Teetotum wins ! Tectotum wins ! Teetotum has won !" burst from hundreds of mouths, and in another minute the mare‘s number was satlsâ€" factorily hoisted with that of Deflance under‘ it. " ~Joe~Bourton, ‘between »the glory of having won the Liverpool, and dismay at his daughter‘s prostraâ€" tion, was for the minute fairly dazed, but Mr. Waters was equal to the occaâ€" sion. * Old Deflance wins after all!" The jockey of that horse, when he saw the front rank go down like a house of cards, very naturally thought that, beaten as his horse was, he bad a chance of winning. He got safely over the last hurdle, and, riding his horse desperately, it became a very fine point, whether he couldn‘t even now catch Dick before he could reach the winning post, but fortune favored the latter, and though the distance never allowed Tectotum to get fairly into her stride again, she managed to scramble past the winning post a bare length to the good. pounds ? _ Now 1 pardize both our : The minute he w 1( Wine onl iscc d uiinaine nigtinatniiin itc n m my‘nnrslnz for a final effoy, though feeling that unless the unexpected hapâ€" rmne-jl to the two leaders, there was | For a second Gregson was staggered {at the turn things bad taken, but the superb scoundrel speedily rose to the !nltuntlon.

Come on, Teetotum ! only. now, one flight of hurdles between you and the winning post !" Dick and Gregson were now coming along side by side, watching each other like two cats, but nelther had yet beâ€" gun riding. _ Three Jengths off wa» 11 with yonr. if you like. Yours beats mine. for a thousand !"* For a moment Dick fafled to recogâ€" nize the villainy of this proposal, and then it dawned upon him that the irreâ€" claimable blackguard galloping alongâ€" side of him was offering to pull his horse for that sum. "No, thank you," replied Dick. "I‘ll win on the square, or not at all."* And now they turned into the fat, Jumping the flight of hurdles at the bend side by side. nlongside of Colaton. str ed himself that he had the favorite at his mercy. rays and blundered or Dick had managed ft 1 es ne there‘s only you I‘ll have a cross bet Ieetotum, owing mped the hurdle i on to her knees; ed to keep his rate effort, just n undoubt th Pn H eeded e felt as he Had hur I say, Raggsy, de papers says dere‘s miâ€" crobes in bank bills. ldYu: dat‘s :hy: don‘t g«;‘ to work.

"Ah ! my darling," whispered Kitty, as they drove away, "you won the Livâ€" erpool, and I am proud of it, but noâ€" body knows what I suffered during the three days previous to that race. I was haunted with the idea, Dick, that it was predestined to prove fatal to you, But you‘re my own now, and I‘ll never consent to your riding another steepleâ€" chase." Ned rechal Dick Colaton‘s arm proved a much more serious thing than was at first anticlpated. _ No bones were broken, but in the desperate effort he had made to keep Teetotum on her legs, the muscles nad been most fearfully wrenched. He usffered great pain in it for weeks, and it was months beâ€" fore the doctors allowed him to use the injured limb again; but Kitty made a mest unwearled nurse, and Bob Waters declared that he never saw a man enâ€" joy & state of crippledom more. His arm was stlll in a sling when he stood before the altar of Abbotsford church with Kitty Bourton ,and they vowed. to love and cherish each other till death should them part. Ctk ‘ Sam Gregson vanished into the obâ€" scurity and poverty that usually beâ€" falls a jockey who turns an arrant thief; in much disrepute before, his shameful foul riding in the Grand Naâ€" tional put a practical finish to bis career, and he lapsed into a mere hangâ€" erâ€"on of the racecourse, picking up & precarious living as he best could. bilities. Thanks, however, to the conâ€" sideration and to some extent the &sâ€" sistance of their brethren, they did manage to weather the blackest Monâ€" day they had ever encountered, but their speculations were crippled and conducted on & much more limited scale for many & long day. Messrs. Moore and Reubens in all their racing career bad never experiâ€" enced such a disaster as this. They had played for & great stake, and had seen it apparently within their reach. Beaten though Catamount undoubtedâ€" ly was, had he only safely got over the last hurdle Sam Gregson‘s desperate expedient would have given him the race. As it was, although recognizing that their emissary had done his best, they were in no disposition to be genâ€" erous; they were too hard hit themâ€" selves to dispense money with a free hand, and there were sinister rumors "‘Mine was fairly done with, but if 1 could have forescen that the three in front of me were all going to blunder at the last hurdle, I could have been a bit nearer to take advantage of their trouble, and if I had bcen, 1 should have just won." But for thcse ifs the material events of this world would many & time have been much altered. He rightly determined not to court publicity, and as soon as he had changâ€" ed his clothes and fortified bimself with a coplous libation of brandy and water, stole back to Liverpool in unâ€" ostentatious fashion, with the sickenâ€" ing sensation that, in spite of all his chicanery, he had benefited nothing by the race. The general verdict was that, but for the collision at the last burdle, it would have been a capital race between old Todhunter and the winner, while the rider of Deflance, to the day of his death, always lamentâ€" ed that he threw away the chance of. victory, : In all, it has been estimated that over two However, Bourton decided that he could depend upon Thomas to bring Teetotum home all safe, as soon as she had cooled down & bit and recovered herself, and that there was nothing further he cared for. Such a sensational finish to a Grand National had perhaps never been witâ€" nessed. . Mr. Gregson‘s foul riding had been quite comprehended by many peoâ€" ple in the Strand, and it was well for him that he was picked up insensible and carried away under the impression that he was badly hurt. In reality the scoundrel, though stunned for the moâ€" ment, had come out of this melee of his. own making very little the worse for the fall. He was purposely rather slow coming round, and gathered from the comments about him that the tide of popular feeling had set somewhat against him. ‘‘There," he said at last," that‘s easier, isn‘t it ? ‘Takes its own weight off it, you see, and now the sooner you get back to Liverpool and send for a surgeon the better. You needn‘t come unless you like, Bourton. I‘m going to look after Dick. Strikes me these young people ain‘t quite able to take care of themselves toâ€"day.‘ * "Not a bit," exclaimed that gentleâ€" man, "but the first thing we have got to do now is to put that arm in a sling," and producing a large silk handkerchief from the pocket of his overcoat, Mr. Waters, with Kitty‘s asâ€" sistance, soon manufactured a sling and got Colaton‘s arm into it am sure, "Oh ! Dick, my dear," exclaimed the girl, "I thought you were killed at "Don‘t l00k frightened, Kitty," exâ€" claimed Colaton, "I‘ve won the Liverâ€" pool, and have promised you ‘never to do so no moré.". I have hurt the arm, and am in @onsiderable pain just now, but I am aty sure it‘s nothing serâ€" lous, and a doctor will very soon put it to rights."* "All right ?" exclaimed Waters, exâ€" citedly. « ‘‘Yes," réJoined EBourton, "all right as far as the race is concerned, but I ,un afraid Dick has hurt his arm badâ€" We * ity had become aware that the lady who had fainted was the Miss Bourâ€" ton whose father had just won the big race, and that she had swooned upon seeing her lover, as she thought, get a terribly bad fall at the last burdle. She found herself, much to her conâ€" fusion, an object of the greatest interest as she made her way out of the stard, leaning on Waters‘ arm. To get hold of their own carriage proved impracâ€" ticable; but Waters had no difficulty in catching & fly, into which he and Kitty: at once got, to wait t!ll Dick and Bourâ€" ton should join them. A very few minutes, £nd they were seen making their way through the throng, and Waters eagerly hailed them; but a glance showed Kitty that there was something wrong. Dick would have had his coat on instead of only thrown over his shoulders, if there had not been something the matter; still, as he was able to talk, the girl comforted herself with the reflection that, whatâ€" ever his Injuries, they could not be of an alarming description. uies WHOLE NO. 368, His Aversion to Work. 20 Aum m (THE END.)
