CHAPTER XII. (¢ ‘outinerme a )

Arthur wentin for the sake of patting Meg, declining as far as possible to see anything in the stables, lest he should lose his temper before breakfast. The pretty creature was in one of the inner stables, and turned her mild head as her master came beside her. Little Trot, a tiny| spaniel, her inseparable companion in the | stable, was comfortably curled up on her! back. ‘Well, Meg, my pretty girl,’ said Arthur, | patting her neck, ‘we'll have a glorious | canter shis morning.’ ‘Nay, your honor, I donna see as that!

‘Not be! Why not? * Why, she’s got lamed.’ ‘Lamed, confound you!

}

What do you

Why, th’ lad took her too close to

near the fore leg,’

The judicious historian here abstains from narrating precisely what ensved., You understand that there was a great deai of strong language, mingled with socthing ‘who-ho’s’ while the leg was

as much emotion as if he had been a cun- ningly-carved crab-tree walking-stick, and that Arthur Donnithorne presently re passed the iron gates of the pleasure- ground without singing as he went.

He considered himself thoroughly dis- There was not another mount in the stable for himself and his servant besides Meg and Rattler. It was vexatious; just when he wanted to get out of the way fora week ortwo. It

such a combination of circumstances. To be shut up at the Chase with a broken arm, when every other fellow in his regiment was enjoying himself at Windsor—shut up with his grandfather, who had the same sort of affection for him as for his parch- ment deeds! And tobe disgusted at every turn with the management of the house and the estate! In such circumstances a man necessarily gets in ill humor, and works off the irritation by some excess or other. ‘Salked would have drunk a bottle of port every day,’ he muttered to himself: ‘bat am not weil seasoned enough for that. Well, since I can’t go to Eagledale, I'll have a gallop on Rattler to Norburne this morning and lunch with Gawaine.’

Behind this explicit resolution there lay an implicitone. If helunched with Gawaine and lingered chatting, he would not reach the Chase again till nearly five, when Hetty would be safe out of his sight in the heuse- keeper’s room; and when she set out to go home, it would be his lazy time after dinner, 8° he should keep out of the way altogether. There really would be no harm in being kind te the little thing, and it was worth dancing with a dozen ball-room belles only to look at Hetty for half an hour. But, perhaps, he had better not take any more notice of her; it might put notions into her head, as Irwine had hinted; though Arthur, for his part, thought girls were not by any means 80 soft or easily bruised ; indeed, he had generally found them twice as cool and cunning as he was himself. As for any real harm in Hetty’s case, it was out of the question; Arthur Donnithorne accepted his own bond for himself with perfect con- fidence.

So the twelve o’clock sun saw him gal- loping toward Norburne ; and by good for- tune Halsell Common Jay in his road, and gave him some fine leaps for Rattler. Nothing like ‘taking’ a few bushes and ditches for exorcising a demon ; and it is really astonishing that the Centoura, with their immense advantages in this way, have left so bad a reputation in history.

After this you will perhaps be surprised to hear that, although Gawaine was at home, the hand of the dial in the court- yard had scarcely cleared the last stroke of three, when Arthur returned through the entrance-gates, got down from the panting Rattler, and went into the house to take a hasty luncheon. But I believe there have been men since his day who have ridden a long way to avoid a recounter, and then galloped hastily back lest they should miss it. It is the favorite stratagem of our pas- sions to sham a retreat, and to turn sharp around upon us at the moment we have made up our minds that the day is our own.

‘The Cap’s been riding the devil’s own pace,’ said Dalton, the coachman—whose person stood out in high relief, as he smok- ed his pipe, against the stable wall—when John brought up Rattler.

Anl wishhe’d get the devil to do’s grooming, for’n,’ growled old John.

‘Ay: he'd have a deal hamabler groom nor what he hes now,’ observed Dalton; and the joke appeared to him so good,tbhat being left alone upon the scene, he continued, at intervals to take his pipe from his mouth in order to wink at an imaginary audience, and shake luxuriously with a silent, ventral laughter; mentally rehearsing the dialogue from the begmning, that he might recite it with effect in ihe servants’ hall.

When Arthur went up to his dressing- room again after luncheon, it was inevitabie that the debate he had had with himself there earlier in the day should flish across his mind; but it was impossible for him now to dwell on the rememberance—impos- sible to recall the feelings and reflections which had been decisive with him then, any more than torecall the peculiar scent of the air that had freshend him when he first opened his window. The desire to see Hetty had rusted back like an ill-stemmed current; he was amazed himself at the force with which the trival fancy seemed to grasp him; he was even rather tremulous as he brushed his hair—pooh !

amuse himself by seeing Hetty te-day, and get rid of the whole thing from his mind, It was all Irwine’s fault. ‘If Irwine had said nothing I shouldn't have thought half so much of Hetty as of Megs lameness.” However, it was just the sort of day for lolling in the Hermitage, and he wonld go and finish Dr. Moore's Ze/uco there before dinner. The Hermitage stood in Fir-tree Grove—the way Het'y was sure to come in walking fromthe Hail Farm. So nothing cou'd be simpler and more natural; meeting Hetty was a mere circumstance of his waik,

nut its object.

Georgetown News Notes.

The gale and snow storm of Friday and Saturday last was the most severe felt here since the great gale of December 16, 1876 The river and coves are all tr. z-n over, but the channel below the Raiiwey Wharf is still open. The schooner Victory, Capt. Purcell, is the only vessel caught mn the ice, but will no doubt get out.

The Northern Light sailed this morning for Pictou with mails and passengers. When cff Cape Bear she fell in with the barque Lucy Pope at anchor disabled, and towed her into this port. The Lucy Pope has quite a list; she lost some head sails and gear. and has four feet of water in her hold. The crew have avff-red very much from exposure to cold and pumping, and were pretty well exhausted when they gut into port to-day.

The steamer Princess of Wales, Cept. Cameron, arrived here with about twenty passengers. They all speck in the highest terms of Capt. Cameron and the steamer. Capt, Cameron says the gale and frost of Friday and Saturday was the worst he ever felt. The Princess is moored at the Rail- way wharf and will be up there for the winter.

The schr. Royal Home, which sailed on Thursday night for St. John, and whose safety was feared, is reported |y the M. A. Starr as getting safely into Canso on Savur- day morning.

Many of the Canadians who, in the days when Minnesota and Dakota’ e: joyed xreater railway facilities than the youthful Province of Manitoba, al jured their status as British subjects in oider to be in a position to claim howestesds under the iaws of the United States, have now good reason to repent having — sacrificed their nationality. The following quo- tation is from the St. Vincent New Hra, published in Minnesota, about thice miles south of the international boundary : ‘On Tuesday last we saw a sight upon our streets, that with little variation can be witnessed here any day. A number of our best farmers were in town, men we have known since they settled here, and known them to be be suber, hard-woiking, intelli- gent, honest men. They had their wagons loaded with wheat and the prices they were offered ranged between 27 and 38 cents per bushel, mostly 27 cents. After taking out the cost of threshing, and twine they vere paid less for their wheat than the railway charges are for drawing it to market. Some took their wheat to Traill’s mill, and traded it «ff for flour, Some tuck it to Emerson, M .nituba, and paid the duty and sold it there, others tuck it home again, and a few, disheartend, soid their loads for what they could get, not what it was worth, and all felt like cursing the country and getting out of it.”

Ir is contemplated to erect twenty-two brick dwelling houses in St. John next spring. Tenders have been advertised, and if a suitable location can be obtained the work will no douht go on. The build- ings are to be erected in the form of # con- tinuous block, each house being self-con- tained and provided with a separate en- trance. Each house will be two stories high, 25 feet front and 37 feet deep, with ells 29x17 feet in the rear. The ceilings will be 104 and 9} feet high respectively. Every other house will be provided with folding doors; otherwise they will all be identical in design. On the ground floor will be located the parlor, with dining- room behind; a spacious hall with stairway in the rear; and in theell, kitchen, dining room pantry, kitchen pantry, scullery aud cval and wood rooms. On the upper flat will be two large bedrooms with closers attached, three smaller bedrooms, a bath- room with equipments of the latest design, and the domestics’ rooms, ete , in the ell. In the rear of the’buildings will be spacious yards, flanked by an alley running along the base of the lots, and giving a back entrance to each building.

R. G. Lackie, manager of the Springhill Mines, just arrived in Halifax from Eng- land, says many labor-saving improvements will be introduced in the Nova Scotia coal mines. He thinks a great many Scotch miners will seek employment in Canada next year.
