“In short, say yph’ve appointed yourself
mentor over me at once and be done with
.1th g it!”

Lakely glared at his companion. Bristed
immovable, went on smoking. A silence,
fraught with explosive pdssibilitics, en-
sued. Finally Bristed arose. He was
somewhat the elder of the two, and he was
saturnine and dark.

“What are you going to do?" he do-
manded. .

"If you think I’m going to say”—-——

“Then you go to the dickens by the short-
est cut you can find!” was Bristed’s ulti-
matum. ' i'

The next day Mrs. Lakcly tearfully
pressed me into an interview.

“I assu1e you I have done my best to dis-
suade Horace,” Bristed said-

“Oh, it’s too dreadful!” moaned Lake-
ly’s mother, wringing her hands. “You
have always been such good friends—room
mates and all—and young men will often
listento an older comrade’s advice and re-
monstrancc where a mother’s, a sister’s
are quite thrown away. Do use your in-
finance, my dear Mr. Bristed. with my
poor, benighted boy! Oh, it is too shock-
ing that he should be thinking for one in-
stant even of such a marriage!”

“I appreciate your position, you may be
sure, my dear madam. It is a very trying
one,” murmured Bristed sympathetically.

“And it is so horrible, too, that there
should be a question of bringing such a
person into the family Where there is a
young git, ” continued Mrs. Lakeiy. put-
ting her handkerchief to her faded, pretty
ladylike little face;

Mrs. Lakely felt that this allusion to
her daughter was a master stroke of diplo-
macy.

“Certainly, I can appreciate your feel-
ings here more than ever,” cried Bristed
warmly.

“In the name of heaven, Lakely, don’t
make such a fool of yourself,” he began, in
the tone of a more tolerant persuasiveness.

“A fool of myself! By George! I think
I’ve a good deal of patience to stand what
I’ve stood from you the lastmbnth, Bristed!
If a fellow didn’t feel sore abOut' throwing
over an old friend, by George”—

“All right, I understand your point of
view,” said Bristed placidly. “It isn’t
agreeable to have warnings dinned into
your ears when you want torush headlong
into the biggest folly of your life. But it’s
the friend’s part to sound the warning, all
the same, whether it’s agreeable or not.
You might think of yonr'mOtherand sister
a little in this matter, too.”

“What the deuce have they, or have you,
or has any one, for the matter of that, to
say anything against Mrs. McPherson,
Bristed?” cried Lakely, starting up and
confronting his friend,r ’with his boyish
features aflush and 'a kindling light' in his
blue eyes. “You say she’s a little older
than I”— ' V

“Not a little; 3. good deal. "She’s older
than I am—must be,” interrupted Bristed.
‘ “Well, and even if she were. What of
it? What are a few years one way or the
other?”

“A great deal when the few years are on .

know as well as I do that 9McPherson’s
widow has be ntalked about. Oh! unjust—
ly, if you care to have it so! I’m not going
1nto that question. But the old fellow
didn’t' inspire the greatest respect himself,
and, at all events, a good many things were
said of his pretty wife. Why, my dear fel-
low, ” continued Bristed reasoningly, and
with the kindly influence' in his line veice
and the softened expression .in his stiong
matures which had- always had so- much
power over Horace Lakely’s impulsively
youthful temperament “it’s a preposter-
ous thing, you losing your head and letting
yourself in for this sort of thing! This
woman is no wife for you”—
“You don’t know her! You haven’t even
seen her,” exclaimed Lakely weakly.
“I have nev er- seen her, that’s a fact. But
I know her all the same. One always
knows a women of that sort of caliber.
They’ re very interesting to meet; very
stimulating‘;: very amusing; very fascinat-
ing. They have ten thousand arts. While
their spell is on a man he thinks them
anything they choose to be thought. He
believes anything—everything. Afterward
he has an awakening, and it is very well

for him if he hasn’t to discover that he has .'

bound himself, band and foot, while he
was under the charm. Flirt with an ad-
venturess—for really you know a McPher-
son can scarcely be called anything else—
flirt with an adventuress as much as you
like, my dear boy, if you feel sure encugh
of yourself; but be 'very careful to stop—a.
long way off of matrimony. That’s what
:1. wise man does, my boy.”

Poor Lakely, with his elbows on his
knees and, his hands supporting his head,
sat staring at the figure‘s of the carpet.

“Confound it! you' always had wisdom
enough to fit out an army, Bristed, ” he
growled. “It’s no effort for you to keep
out of scrapes. You couldn’t get into one
if you tried. You’ re so deucedly celd
blooded.”

When it dawned upon Mrs. Lakely that
her 3011 might unexpectedly be on the
point of listening to reason the poor lady’ s
joy burst forth in touching gratitude to
Horace’ 3 friend. But it was short lived
joy. At the end of a fortnight she came
to Bristed, pale with agitation, and com-
municated the dire intelligence that Mrs.
McPherson had appeared in person on the
scene; that she was following Horace up.
9 “I suppose she feels that the boy has
been slipping from hen—odious person!”
exclaimed Mrs. Lakely, waxing bitter in
-her righteous indignation "It is too
’shocking, the vulgar forwardness of such
people. I do not fancy tliht she”? really

" “My dear Mrs. Lakely, anything to

oblige you, but I don’t knowl’fé—

“Oh; don't say so,” interrupted the poor
lady. “I have such confidence in your
ability to straighten matters out for us.”

A day or two later this conversation re-
sulted' in a visit from Bristed. to the hotel
where Mrs. McPherson was temporarily
registered. ‘

It was not in this young man’ s nature to
look forward with much relish to the in-
fie felt that he had beforeIhifi

1;
even possible that he was inclined to take
some credit to himself when be reflected
upon the trouble he was at to oblige his
friend’s family and to keep the boy him-
self from a piece of folly he should spend
the rest of his life in regretting. But in
another way be accounted himself repaid
for anything he might do, even before it
was done. For nothing could be sweeter
or fairer or more charming than Cecil-in
Lakely, Horace’ 3 young sister.

She was a mere school girl, to be sure,
but' Hurlburt Bristed admired the type.
An ingeuuous young girl was to him the
most delightful thing in nature. And he
smiled often,asghe took himself to Mrs.
McPherson’s hotel, in remembrance of cer-
tain warm, shy glances which had fallen
from those dovelike eyes these latter times
since he had been exerting himself so much
in her brother’s behalf. In helping Horace
he was really wooing in the surmt way, if
indirectly, the elusive flower of this young
creature’s love.

He was still thinking of Cecilia'as he sat
waiting for Mrs. McPherson to appear.
He was, indeed, so much engrossed in his

reveries that he looked up only when the

lady he had come to see stood close in
front of him. She had entered softly by a
door at the side of him. As he rose a little
confusedly she covered him suddenly With
a wonderful smile.

The young Widow—it was impossible not
to think Of her as younger than she was—
stood there an instant and then sank into
her chair opposite her visitor.’ She begged
him to resume his seat. She seemed to
wait, still with that unusual, that almost
harmonious smile, for him to begin. From
her presence, at once assured and unob-
trusive, animated and reposeful, from her

- delicate toilet, there emanated an aroma,

as it were, which flattered all the senses.
“I believe you are Horace Lakely’s great

friend,” said this gracious creature in a

well modulated voice. If the modulations
were somewhat artificial, if it were possi-
ble to surmise that the natural tone of
voice did not always betray the same re‘
finement of culture, it so happened that
Hurlburt Bristed (albeit he had the reputa-
tion of noticing everything) did not ob-
serve the fact.

a {-11- ~15 it 1- s

The next day Mrs. Lakely awaited Bris-
ted’s promised visit with eager impatience.
Cecilia, looking very lovely in a white
dress (Bristed had once remarked that she
should always wear White—it was becom-
ing to her), was sitting with her mother,
and shot an expressive glance at the door
when it opened.

“Well, Mr. Bristed, well,” demanded
Mrs. Lakely, “have you good news for me?
Will she go away and leave my boy in

Cecilia, who had risen and remained
standing,’ in a certain hesitancy, left the
room.

“I don’t know that I can tell you any-
thing very definito, my dear madam,” ob-
served Bristed, somewhat slowly.

“Oh, what do you mean? I hope the
wretched person does not refuse to loosen
her hold of Horace?” cried Mrs. Lakely.

“No, no; It is not that—not at all. He
asaure yourself. Only”———i Bristed inter-

‘rupted himself. He. began ‘again: .“I im-

agine she will, as you express it, loosen her
Yes—but—I wished to ask
ycss—aheml”

If it had been possible to fancy such a

thing of the self assured, graceful, lofty -

Bristed Mrs. Lakely would have fancied

. that he looked embarrassed. She stared.

at him when he continued.

“Have you any definite reason for sup-

posing that Mrs. McPherson really intend-
ed 'to marry Horace?”
» “Really intended to marry him?” echoed
Mrs. Lakely. “Why, nothing could be
more evident! I thought we were agreed on
that point, Mr. Bristed.”

“0n Horace’s being most anxious to
marry- Mrs. McPherson—yes,” amended
“But I do not—I am not sure”—

“Do you mean,” interjected the poor
lady, holding herself very straight, her
mien,.in its outraged maternal pride, be-
coming almost majestic,“that Mrs- Mc—.
Phersou is playing fast and loose with my

sou 9. That she would reject him at the last
. moment 9”

That Horace Lakely should marry such
a person as McPherson’ s widow was horri-
ble enough. But, that being so inclined,
Mrs. Lakely’s darling, her eldest born, her
handsOme, privileged son, should be sub-

» jected to the indignity of a refusal frOm

such a source, sut ely that was almost more
teriible still. 5 9

“Oh, my dear Mrs. Lakely, please do not
imagine I would insinuate such a thing,”
exclaimedBristcd'rather la‘mely.

He was tugging'at his mustache, and
Mrs. Lakely was obliged to acknowledge
that he was certainly ill at ease.

“I hope you will let me know what
progress you make,” she insisted, feeling

- vaguely helpless.

“I will, of course,” said Bristed, getting

._ to his feet.

He seemed relieved in some way that
the interview should be at an end. He
departed with so much precipitancy that
he forgot to leave his respects for Cecilia.

According to the combined entreaties of
the entire family, Horace Lakely had final-
ly consented to flee the temptress who had
pursued him, and he was away from
home.

“If ever Ilive dovvn this feeling,” the
young man wrote at about this time to his
friend, “I shall have you, I suppose, to
thank for having urged me back into the
path of wisdom: But I can tell you it is
hard—desperately hard—estaying away and

listening to advice I can’t forget her,.

Bristed! You’re such a cool. reasonable
fellow yourself that you won’t be able to

understand that my Whole life seems to'

have bound itself about this woman.” ' 3
There Was a tene throughout the letter

A. 1...... or I melanin: 1:19.11... ,

Mr. Finch-Hutton, Who has much to say
about ranchers. tells «that bore backs and
girth gelling are the curses of Australian
hush riding—curses which are chiefly due

“thd'c'are' lanasdfriders. A horse fed
solely on gppss pad galloped nearly a bun-
dred mi'l‘es at a stretch! is. of centric. more
liableto sure back than oils fed upon oats,
and an additional disadvantage to Austra-
lien "Willem” is lit. they are noyer
groomed, and therefore hays very dirty
costs. Momver, they are riddo'n in a
shapeless, cumbersome machine called a
colonial saddle, which is made of rough
leather,w with a high pommel and cantle
and huge knee pods.

Altogether this unwieldy contrivance7

weighs about twenty pounds, and any-

thing better devised to create a sore back “

it would be impossible to invent. The Aus-
tralian Winter nights areCold and fresh,

and it is astonishing that there should not
he more roarers in the island continent.

Nature rcyenges herself, however. by in-
dieting an almost every Australian horse
'a sore back, and it was the belief of Limit.

00!. Mundy, the author of “Our Anti-
podes,”l that the large number of Austra-
lian buck jumpers was directly attributa-
ble to the universality among them of
sore back.

ONE MAN’ 8 OPINION.

Mr. Finch-Hatton adds that this trouble
some cemplaint is seldom caused by an
English saddle, and far this reason he
made a point of invariably using one dur-
lng the whole of his stay in the Colonies,
unless he knew that the animal he was
about to bestride was certain to buck, "in
which caseit is perfectly hopeless to stick
On in an English saddle.”

Seated on a buck jumper the rider sees
nothing in‘ front of him but the pommel
of the saddle, and feels, in Mr. Finch-Hat-
ton’s’words, “asif he were assisting at an
earthquake or a railway accident.” In
bucking a horse tucks his head between
his forelegs, and holds it so low as some-
times to strike his under jaw with his hind
feet. Meantime the back is arched like
that of a pngnacious cat. and the tremen-
dous bounds, sometimes forward, some-
times backward, and sometimes aside,
made by the animal in this position are
kept up almost without intermission for
several minutes, until, in some cases, he
throws himself on the ground. baffled in
his attempt to unseat his rider, whom he
tries'to crush by rolling over him.

To sit him, unless the saddle has knee
pads, is said by Mr. Finch-Hatton to be an
absolute impossibility; but in a colonial
saddle any one who keeps his nerve and is
a fair horseman can triumph over the
worst and most violent offender.

A ROYAL BATTLE.

One hundred and thirty years ago the
celebrated Col. Tarleton. who was called
“the Scourge of the Carolinas,” had a tus-
sle in Virginia—where he was fighting for
King George III against the American reb-
els—with a formidable black thoroughbred
who was credited with being able to jump
six feet high, and to keep on jumping and
bucking, sometimes straight and some-
times with sidelong bounds, for half an
hour at a time. An account of the strug-
gle between the mad horse and his indom-
itable rider was given not long after its
occurrence by a Virginia newspaper in as
dramatic and stirring a bit of writing as
ever appeared in print.

“Just then,” exclaims the narrator, “my
attention was attracted by the violent
plungings of a horse which two stout En-
glish grooms were endeavoring to lead to
the spot where Col. Tarleton and I‘ were
standing. The horse was a large and pow-
erful brute, beautifully formed, and as

_ black as a crew, with an eye that seemed

to blaze with ire. His progress was one
continued bound—at times swinging the

Qgrooms OR the ground, as though they

were tassels hung on his huge Spanish bit.
I asked 001. 'l‘arleto-n the meaning of this

. scene, and he answered quietly that he had
5heard of the horse as an unmanageable
:brute, and had bought. him for the large

sum of £100”—the word “dollar” was then

gunknown in North America—“in order to
: ride him.

‘Ride him!’ said I; ‘you might
as well try to back a streak of lightning.’ "
THE BRUTE CONQUERED.

Col. Tarleton, howover, had not miscel-

‘culated his own powers in the saddle.

Rather below the middle height, and with
a face almost femininely beautiful, the
“brave sabreur” of the British army was
at that time a' perfect model of sinewy
strength and vigor. Without a particle of
superfluous flesh, his rounded limbs and
broad chest seemed to be molded out of
iron, yet with an elasticity and suppleness

. which usually accompany faultlessness of

shape. His diess—it was the height of
summer—was a jacket and brooches of
white linen, fitting close to the figure.
Boots ofxrusset leather hung below the
knee, 'with their tops turned down and
their heels garnished with bright military
spurs. In his hand was a scourge, “with
shot twisted into its knotted lash.” He
approached the side of the dancing horse,
and disdaining. the use of the stirrup
threw himself at one bound into the sad-
dle.“ YVitli a snort of rage or fear the lib-
erated animal leaped into the air like a
stricken deer.

“Every device which instinct could sug-
gest was resorted to by the furious brute
to unship his rider. Remorseless as fate,
however, the high couraged horseman sat
imshaken in his saddle. plying the scourge
and driving‘home the rowels until drops
of blood trickled freely to the ground. ' Un-
able to endure his punishment, the horse
soon flew with the speed of an arrow across
the ‘terre plaine’ in front of the camp. In
a quarter of an hour, during which the
tortured beast was kept to the gallop, he
stood, with trembling limbs and lack-lus-
tereye, before, his conqueror’s tent. I have
seen many stirring scenes,” concludes the
narrator, “but none half so exciting as the
strife between that dauntless man and
savage horse.”—London Telegraph.

Dosn’t Need a Cook.

A man in Houston county, Ga, in order
to save the extravagance of a wife and the
expense of hiring a cook, shells his corn,
and before carrying it to 'the mill spreads
it on the floor before the fire, where' is it
parched. The corn is then ground into

meal, and when he starts to work in the.

morning he makes up a mesh of meal and
places it out in the sun todry. As the

meal-:1: already cooked, it will be ready for .

his dinner when he comes in from work. -—

_ FRONT ELEVATION.

The design here represented is for a Con-
gregational church located' in a small town
upon the corner of two streets. The main
entrance is in the tower on the corner, and
communicates directly with the vestibule,
from which a staircase leads to the gallery
in the front end of the church, under
which are the steps to the basement. The
foundation walls may be of stone, rock
faced where exposed to view, or of brick.
Above the water table the building' is of

' hard brick laid with astruck joint. and

may have trimmings of Potsdam sand-
stone. The roofs are supported by orna-
mental iron trusses exposed to view, those
which support the gallery being increased
in weight. The ceilings of apse and rob-
ing room and all side walls are plastered,

last coat white sand finish, left rough un-
der the float. The stairs and doors are of
white pine veneered with light oak; all
other inside finish of clear kiln dried yel-
low pine. The vestibule is wainscoted to the
height of the windows with light oak; the
auditorium with yellow pine. The accom-
modations for the choir and organ are in
the gallery, with seats for fifty people.

The auditorium of the church will seat

about three hundred. The windows are
