passed in the field and his nights at the

With reckless ng he sprang at the

dragged some distance, but the ani-
mal was checked, and a moment alter
stood trembling and quite as a lamb. ‘Tre-
vianion, who, with his ruddy face quite
pale, had remained stupitied daring his
pretty escapado, now recovered breath,
and commenced his usual trade of curses
and blows upon the poor horse.

* Don’t beat him,” said the yonng man,

young man,

Blast your feclings of humanity,”
growled the wicked man, ‘the cursed
beast tried to bresk my neck,

« Because you il-treated him.”

Trevanion, who had opened his mouth
for another curse, paused and fixed his
bold, handsome c¢yes upon the young
spei aker,

“Who are you 2” he asked,

Tae young min smiled,

* T don't think you would care to 1. now,”
he replied,

Trevanion restrained an oath.

© You're a decent looking man,” he said,

“and ought to answer a dee ent question,”

The young man smiled again.

“Sol cin, he ‘ . *f though I

The devil you we!” said ‘Trevanion,
smiling grimly; * well, youve sayed my

House. ‘The dogs shan't be set on you,
and you're not a minister, [ know, or you
would have let the h. wreak my neck,
and the devil get his own, Come with me

The young man wouid have declined,

house, and in this very room, sat them
down by the fire.

George was a young tellow of spirit, and
the scandalnougers got nothing lor their
interterenee, Geor: family Knew ‘Tres

vanion was wealthy, and thinking (ultho’
they did not speak to Georg aboutit) that
he might be induced to leave the young
le ilow his fortune, they were not averse to
the friendliness their boy had inspired in
the old seape-grace, So George continued
to keep coupany with his uncle, and told |
him traukly what he had replied to the
neighbors, upon which Trevavion laughed

So George did not succeed in doing

sweet, pleasant voice, while the dark
stranger, whose name was Edward, look-

* What! says Trevanion, ‘'a big lop-

‘The young stranger laughed.

‘Good uncle.” said he, “give me n

Trevanion fumed and cursed him up

the two had a might of it, Poor George
never joined ‘Trevanion in his drinking
bouts,so with a sad heart he left the reve
ers, feeling that ne good would come ot the
s introduction to Garfield Uouse.
And he was right, The more he saw of
Edward the more he disliked him, and in
return the new-comer detested George.
It was not long before George discoved
that Edward was doing his best to supplant
him in Trevanions affections, ‘The boli
young fellow'’s bright eyes and dashing
ma ner had certainly made the old man
like him; but he sull stuck to ‘his dear
reie,” and would not hear a word
against him, ‘*idward, however, was
not discouraged; he continued to drink
with him, swear with him, ride with him,
shoot with aim, and, in fine, sueceed in
flattering the old foul, while at the same
