Ilis heart was heavy at the pix sf)ect, and wln-n Kve- Ivii, securely cliapei-oneil by an aunt, l:ad </ffered him the |wst of agent, he gratefully accepted the chance. But every day of the past week had brought him fresh pain and added humiliation al his powerless [Kisilion. Change was the oilier of Ihe day, and at every change llie ominous incivility of Ihe ser- vants and Ihe Ln.s<jleiice of the villagers lad inllanied Evelyn lo crush the Ikis- tile feeling by taking a strong lin<>. Tlui chief sufferer in this course of action was Hay. Bui in spite of his depression, even Ilia heart was light within him wlien, upon waking the next morning, the soft light that llltered in through his win- <lows from a blue, cloud-<lapplod sky, proclaimed a |>erlecl hunting-day. Feel- ing that lite still held comi>ensations, be wliistled cheerfully as he strolled in- to Ihe dlning-ro<uii resplendent in hunt- ing pink. Then ho started violently, f.tr, to his aslonishnieni, his cousin sttHid hy ttie window dressed in a rid- ing-habit. "Are you ready lo lake me to the .Meet'/" she asked. Ilis (Irst fe«'llng was one of adfnira- t'on as lie looked al the graceful llg- i:re and the auburn hair that rippled from uniler the high silk hat. Then he IixiwiuhI. "Your hair will never keep up like 'i.i>at," ho said. Kvelyh's bmws arched. "Beally? More interference! .\nd on a question of hairpins this lime.

Hay looked at her with horror. In his excitement he forgot their ipiarrel of Ihe piwious day. "Onco or twice!" he exclaimed. "Oh, my dear girl. d<) be reasonable. Bid- uig and hunting are totally different things. You ought lo be thoixiughly proltcient t)ef<jre you atteinpt to attend a Meet. Iâ€" I beg you to give up Ihis idea. Look!"

The ix'ference lo Ihe paintetl ladies was unlucky, for ever since her arrival I'.velyn had experience*! the pang of be- ing an outsider. .She turned on Hay in a fury.

IV'spite the freshness of the morning bieeze, and tlu" gix'en and brown of Ihe << uiitry, Ihe ride wa.s anything but pleasant. Hay's thoughts hovered C'lind the approacliin j ordeal nt Ihe Ml el, and when at la; I they reachiHl Calverley Cross, and ho ti.vned to I'.ve- Ivn, his face was bard and iiiifneiidly. Tlie girl tried to laugh, allhougli sh« conscious of her aching was sorely framo. "Well, here we are," she said. "You've been a civeerful couipanion. Mercy, wliat a crowd! Tell iiie, how do I look?» No admiration llickerod in Hay's face lhi;> lime. "Your hat's crooked, " he said shortly. "No; better n<5t touch it. There's a sliami of hair loose already, and you It i::ake bad wor.s*^." In less tlian five minutes every mem- lier of the .Meet was acquainted wit.. Ihe fuel that Evelyn wa3 the rawest tyro that ever sal a horse. She was unable to control her nwunt, .so collid<'d with everyone else, and twice she blun- dered into Ihe hounds, to the visible fury of Ihe hujitsniun. Hay felt Ihe disgrace keenly, .md even Evelyn's ears burned as she heard whispered coni- menU and slitk-d laughter. When at last she found herself jogging sol- emnly aft<'r the others down a muddy Inne she was only c<iascious of a des- perate longing lo retrieve her position. Her chance cam" only too soon. The "X'iewhalt.)" sent all llie field siiddenlj (barging lieavily forward in pur.-.uit, and she followed with the rest. Her lial blew off. and tier hair streamed tl<iwn, but slie .shut her eyes and put her horse at the nearest fence. Ttie next minute she received a fearful shock i'.nd ojx^iied her eyes t<j find herself grivelling on a ploughed field. -She V ipt'd the mud away from her face and tiled to screw up her hair. While sh.- was thus occujiied a hand was laid <n I'.er- shoulder, and she saw Hay bend- ing over her. "You Come back now," he said nrmly. "You have made enougti of an exhibi- tion for one day." In .spite of her enlrealies ho dragged I'Ci- away. Uving ord<-rs for tlie liorses :-) be led back, he liireil a trap at the nearest inn aisd tliey drove home in silence. As they r»ached the gates, Evelyn suddenly spo^o. rapidly, and with a quivt'r in her voice. "I know I'm making a horrible fail- ure of it," she said. "Tlh» in^iplo lieie 1 ate me. ami despise nw ftir a niush- I'ooni. But I'll make them lite nie. In Londoir I am the idol <if Ihe gallery as well as the stalls.

I will >{ive no more advice: but it will end badly." .Ml thai night Hay dixnimed of Rve- lyn. Strangely enough, the humiliat- ing experience, while it angered him at Ihe time, hud i-evealed Ihe .solid lounda- I'on of grit and pluck on which her character was formed. He felt he had iiever liked her so well. ^ ".She is a little fool," he redecled; "but she has the makings of a ftne spiirtswoman somewhere."" It was in tills .stiftor frame of mind that he came tionie to dinin^r ih'xl day, after a round of visiting the neighbor- in^.' farms. To his amazement he f<iHn<l Ihe sweeping lawn that lay in front of Iho bouse .scoreil and rutted with luuddy wells. .As t)e gazixl, Higgings, Ihe head- gardi^ver, approached. "Look al it, .sir!" he cried, his rugged face working. "Look what they've done lo my lawn, wot I've cut and mowed .«ancc I was a lad. and wot I've made 'dhers do since!

"Such goings-<m, sir!" ho said wear- ily. "Yes; that's part of il!" He pointed lo a smashed marlile bu.st of .Vpollo. "To think we should live lo see such things here. We can't stand it no more. We're all going!" Hay presseil hi.s palm. "•>«) am I, Matthews." He pushed .ipen the dining-room door, and sto«id for a minute regarding the .scene. In cthMising hor friends Evelyn had clMJsen badly, for in her des|>erate baste to .secure the (lower and froth of her pwfession she had choaeji the .scum. Hay gaze*! with Ninxir al the r<:arse faces, thislted with wine, that stare<l at him insolently as he approach- ed Evelyn. "I've cxime to resign my posilioH of agent," he said quietly. The girl gave him a .swift pleading glance, but Jier answer wa.s impuilent. ".S) you're on strike, like the other servanlsl Consider yourself disiiiisse<.I!" \ poar of laughter followed Hay as be left the room, while the pictuix^l (â- yes on Ihe walls looked down .st)rrow- ti'illy at his ejection fivun the home of his ancxxstors. For how long he pace»l the park out- side he never knew. The moon cliinbi'd 1 ighcr and higher in the dark sky, tint he tramped blindly on. Suddenly lie r«l. a light touch on liU arm. Evelyn sl<K)d by him with alarm in her eyes. "Oh, do come and turn those people away!" she cried. "Their motors are wailing lo take Ibem back; but they wxm't go, and the servants wo.n'l listen lo me." Without a word they ri'tiirned to the hou.se. Surnly its walls had mner wit- nesaevl such a .sight before t\s the rev- ( I.-.- of Evelyns quodain friends, wlki, (lelightetl with Iheir new quarters, in- i<nded nuiking a nighl of il. Hay raised his voice. "Clear out. everyone of you!" he said aiilhorilatively. "I give you just live iiiiniiles." Tlie lone <'f lii^ voice v.t.s compelling. In spile of a few niiirmured pIX)te.s|.^, 'n less Ihan the allolled lime lt:o last miest had slunk away. Then Ei^^lyiv turned to Hay, with tears in her eyes. "In spite of everything you are still niaster here," she said.
