"PImm. air. an these for yon?"
It tu my man who spoke, snd as be
did so ha beld np for inspection an im
maculate pair of "tops" ia one band and
pair of painf ally new breeches in the
other, while hia countenance wore an
expression 01 mingled leer ana asronian
mant.
With an inward sinking at my heart I
turned from in morning paper ana cut
let, and baring nodded gloomy assent to
his query, said:
"That will do, James; lay them on the
sofa."
The above eonTersation took place in
my bachelor apartments ia the Albany,
and the reason for the appearance
therein of the aforesaid tops and
breeches I am about to explain. I am
not a hunting man. I never could see
any joke in bnmping about on a hard
piece of pigskin in pursuit of a draggled
piece of vermin called a fox, slthough
some people say the fox enjoys the fan.
It is ail very well for those who like it;
and Mr. Jorricks, of immortal memory,
may call hunting "the sport of things
the image of war without it guilt and
only twenty-fire per cent of its dasgor,"
if Le likes, but I confess I can't see it In
that light
Ii was with feelings the reverse cf
pleasant, therefore, that I received and
accepted an invitation from Sir Harry
Bullfinch to stay a week in hia "box" in
Warwickshire and avail myself of hia
hospitality and a mount with the re
nowned pack which bunted that coun
try . I was nrged to this acceptance of
what in my saner momenta I should
have treated aa a practical joke by a .
light attack of the master passion. I
met Sir Barry and bis daughter, Kate, In
London, during the past season. We
had frequently met at the various balls
and entertainments, and on several coca
ions bad enjoyed the balmy fragrance
of Bushy park'and the still delights of a
boat on the upper reaches of the
Thames, but with my natural timidity, I
had never ventured to ask the question
which was forever on the tip of my
tongue, but never got farther. The in
vitation appeared to hold oat promises
of quiet lot--te tee, so I electrified my
tailor and boot-maker with orders for
the necessary "togs" with which to carry
on the campaign.
I remember having somewhere beard
or read that in order to acquire an easy
and graceful seat on home back, sitting
astride on a chair and holding on by the
back was excellent practice, so, having
called James and given him most express
instruction to deny ma even to my moat
intimate friends, I proceeded to struggle
into the tightest pair of cords that were
ver made for mortal man, and, with the
aid of brandy and soda and a couple of
boot hooks, to pull on a pair of boots
which made my corns burn for hours.
Armed with a cutting whip, I then
mounted the strongest chair in the apart
ment and continued the exhilarating ex
ercise with the firmness of a stoic, and
with only one Interval for luncheon,
throughout the entire day.
My train left the Great Northern sta
tion at 4.30, and landed me safely at my
destination. In due course I found my
self seated next to fair Kate, with my legs
comfortably crossed undor Sir Harry's
mahogany.
"I suppose our dull country pack will
seem quite second rate to you," said
Kate.
I was murmuring something in reply
when Sir Harry broke in with:
"Ah, I've got a splendid mount for
you to-morrow, my boy. A trifle play
ful, perhaps hasn't been hunting yet
this season, but hs will carry yon likes
bird."
"Oh, yes," said Kate. "Czar is such a
nice creature.
"Indeed!" said I. "lam rejoiced to
hear it Of course you accompany us to
the meet."
"Yes,'' she replied, "and papa said
that I might follow the hounds a little
way. Yottll look after me, won't you,
Mr. De Boots."
I promised to do my devoirs, but in
my heart I thought I should require
some one to look after me.
The following morning while at break
fast the horses were brought around a
sturdy, thick-sot, quiet-looking weight
carrier, a neat looking gray mare, and a
fidgety chestnut The latter gave his
groom some trouble, and insisted on
waltzing around on bis hind legs a good
deal mora than appeared to me to be
necessary.
"I am afraid your papa will find that
animal rather troublesome," I remarked
to Kate.
"That," she answered, "oh, that's not
pane's ton's toe one yon are going to
rideCzar."
Mj appetite loft me, and as I rose and
walked, in as nnconeerned a manner aa I
could assume to the window, I saw that
the Czar had reversed the order of things
by putting bis head between hia forelegs
and lashing out with bis heels in a very
vicious looking and anything but "play
ful" manner. .
A general move was now mails to the
front door. Kate looked at me evidently
expecting me to "put her np," but I
knew better than to attempt it, and pre
tended to be intent on buckling a strap
of the pair of spurs Sir Harry had lent
me until stie waa safe ia the saddle.
Czar was then brought up for me to
mount, which, after several abortive at
tempts oa my part, I effected, and we aJ
jogged on to the meet Contrary to my
expectation. Czar behaved in a moat ex
emplary manner, and I even ventured to
swing my whip with a jaunty air without
hia taking the slightest noUos. But it
was too good U last Preaentlr a red
coat popped oat oa ma from a by -lane.
Two or three more horsemen overtook
us, and hia tad began to describe circles,
and he proceeded on hia way with a ereb
like movement, which was anything bat
elegant and eminently disconcerting.
Almost before I could realize the po
sition, a stern voice shouted: "'ow, yon
sir, mind the hounds, will yon? and a
muttered oath accompanied by aa ex
pression which sounded very much like
"tailor," drew my attention to the fact
that we had arrived in a field by the aide
of a wood, ia which was gathered some
seventy or eighty horsemen and s pack
of bounds. Luckily for myself, and also
for the hound, on whom Czar seemed to
think it a great fun to dance, the master
at this moment gave the signal to "throw
off." It nearly came being emphatic in
my case. In less time than it takes to
write, a fox was started. 'I lost my hat
and my head at one and the earns
moment, and nearly my seat, and the
next thing that I remember Vith any de
gree of distinctness is clinging with the
blind energy of a drowning man to the
pommel of the saddle, and regarding
with despair a huge fence which seemed
to approach me at a terrific rate. There
was a sudden rush, a tremendous spring
I seemed to have left the lower part of
my waistcoat and its contents on the
other aide of the obstacle and, with a
jolt which pitched me somewhere in the
vicinity of Czar's ears, we were over.
-The field we landed in wasastiffish
fallow, bat Czar still "urged on hia wild
career" with unabated speed. I shook
Lack into the saddle, and s passing re
gret that 1 had neglected to insure my
life against accidents flitted through my
mind. I continued to cling to the pom
mel, and in this manner we negotiated
three more fences and got into a quiet
lane. when, much to my astonishment.
Czar stopped dead short. We had, to
my sincere delight, lost the hounds! I
patted Czar gently on the neck, and
quickly dismounting led him alowly
down the lane. We had not proceeded
far when I discerned a country lad com
ing toward me, carrying in hia hand my
lost hat, which had been battered ont of
all shape by a horse's hoof. I recovered
the lost headgear, climbed back into the
saddle intending to walk Czar quietly
homeward, when I could discover ia
bat direction homo was. But as ill
lock would have it, at the precise mo
ment the sound of the born waa heard far
off in the distance, Czar picked np his
ears and gave a sudden start, and on my
attempting to check him, reared straight
on end, while I lovingly clasped him
around the neck with poth arms, and
itb one plunge forward and upward we
left that lane and that country youth
forever. We landed in a par ture, and
ere going at a fearful pace una alight
incline. Arrived at the top, the whole
hunt waa to be seen coming down the
valley.
And now czar wouu take no denial.
Bashing down the slope at a speed to
bich all former exertions of bis bad
been as mere child's play, he flew over a
doable post and rails, and I found my
self s good field in front of the foremost
flight of horsemen and close on to the
hounds! still onward! until looming in
the distanoe appeared a straggling line
of atunted willows, which, even to my
initiated vision, meant "water." Splash I
there goes the fox! Splash! splash! there
go the hounds! 1 hear voices shouting
behind me aa if in warning, but all I can
do is to hold on and trust to Providence.
Oar pace, if possible, inci eases, and with
a aort of idea of going up in a balloon.
Czar and myself seemed suspended in
the air miles above the brook. It seems
agee before we come down again, which
1 do with a jerk that would bave un
seated me had it not been for Czar sud
denly springing forward and shaking me
back to my proper place. We rushed on
to where the hounds seemed to be scram
bling for something and quarreling
amongst themselves they hsve run into
the fox, snd Czar comes to a standstill
just outside the worrying pack.
Up comes toe first whip and floes tuem
off their prey, and I see Sir Harry ad
vancing toward me, red in the lace and
violently gesticulating with his heavy
hunting crop. What have I done? Have
I unconsciously infringed some point in
hunting etiquette, or bave I hurt Czar?
It either the one or the other, sir Harry,
hastily flinging himself off his steaming
horse, comas np to me and seizing me by
the hand nearly wrings my arms off and
bursts out with:
"WelL done, my boy! You rascal.
yon! You've 'pounded' the whole of us.
Never saw such going in all my life.
Don't believe there's snother man in the
field that could have done it. Here,
Lord Oeorge" to the noble master who
at that moment rode up "permit me to
introduce my friend, Mr. De Boots. '
"Doligbted to make your acquaint
ance, sir, says his lordship, shaking me
heartily by the hand. "I trust to be
able to show you some good sport if you
are thinking of remaining in our coun
try, though if you do we shall all nave
to look to our laurels, for you went like
a bird, sir."
While be ia speaking, several gentle
men ride up, to all of whom I sm intro
duced, snd sll of whom praise what they
aro pleased to call my "plucky riding.
Mias Kate comes up aa the last obse
quies are being performed, and on the
huntaman, obedient to a nod from his
lortlahip, who is no lover of women in the
hunting field, presenting me with the
brash, I handed it to her with all the
grace compatible with mud-stained
habiliments, and a crushed snd battered
hat.
We rodo home together Sir Harrr
and an old erony of his riding some dis
tance in the rear. Czar was complacent
and had apparently had quite enough, at
any rate for that day; ao thinking that I
might never have another such an oppor
tunity, I gently took Kate's whip hand
and ventured to put that question which
had been so long on the tip of my
tongue.
Iter aaiwsr was a whispered "Tee;"
but suddenly turned to ms she added:
"On one condition."
"Name it, dearest," I replied.
"You are so rash and daring that yon
mast promise me never to hunt after we
are married!"

quired pledge, and how faithfully I kept
it?

On the way to Buffalo two "young
people" got en the train somewhere east
of Cleveland. They were going back to
school. They were not silly, ignorant
country young people. B v no manner oi

college culture, for the young man was
on his way back to Cornell. They drop

snd they talked, and the peesengers in

"I heard something about vou."

"Shan't telL"
That's real mean. Who told yen?"
"Oh, I know," he asserted; it para
lyzed me."
"Well, what was it about?"
"Down there at Chataqua, that time.
Oh, that paralyzed me. Te-he, te he."
"What," she exclaimed, in tones of in

time she ever heard of such a place

"Aw yea, you know. Out there

"With whom? Te-he."
"Oh, pshaw! Te-he, te-he."
"I don't know what you mean."
"Oh, no you don't! Well, it paralyzed
me."
"Well, I don't care anyhow, it aint

"Well, I got it pretty straight It just
paralyzed me."
"Who told you?"
"You'll never tell I told you?"
"Xe, indeed I won't"
"Well, I got it from Will Blank. It
just paralyzed me."
"Oh, I know what you mean now.
Well, what of that? Te-he, te-he."
"Aw well, a good deal of it To-he,

"Why, that 'was nothing. Te-he,

"Well, what did he say abont the

"Oh, he told me all about that."
"What did he think?"
"I won't tell you."
"Oh please do."
"Ah, you're too anxious?"
'Indeed, I think you ought to know."
"You'll get mad if I tell you." (Then,
suddenly remembering that he hadn't
made the remark in thirty seconds) It
just paralyzed me."
"No, I won t get mad."
"Yes, vou will."
"No, I won't"
"Yes, yon will. ItU paralyze you."

sighed.
"Well, tell me, won't you?" she
pleaded.
"If you are real sure that yon won't
get mad?"
"Indeed and indeed I won't. It par

At this interesting point in the conver
sation, the passengers got out at Silver
creek to conceal their emotion. The
jester was weeping. The cross man
on the wood-box was swearing un

ifting his hands to hesven, said:

"Is that a yacht?" we inquired of a

about the wharf, and we pointed to a

"No." was the reply.
"Is that a yacht? we inquired again,
pointing to another sort of craft we
thought might be a yacht.
"No, that ain't no yot nuther," was the
answer.
"Well, what is a yacht?" was our next
inquiry.

Instead of saying that there is sn ex
cess of 30,000 women in Massachusetts,
we shall be able to reason more clearlv
if we simply say that there are 30,000
unmarried women in that interesting
State. II the facts are stated in this way
we at once see that, instead of troubling
ourselves about over-production, we
should merely ask: Why are these
women unmarried? The answer is not
difficult to find. The women are un
married because they are of a pattern
which has of late years gone ont of
fashion. About the same time that gray
trousers in England drove out the black
trousers, which, in connection with the
black satin waistcoat and black dress

is the son of Oustsv Hilgard, formerly
provident of the supreme court at
Munioh. This Oustav Hilgard is the
half-brother of Robert C. Hilgard, of
the Belleville savings bank. Oustav
Hilgard waa the only one of the five
brothers who did not come to America,
and it was not originally intented that bis
son Henry, (the Villard in question)
should go to the United States. But
some wild escapades while studying at
the- University of Munich induced him
to come to America in 1853, being then
nineteen years of sge. He arrived here
without any means, and had to rely on
himself for support In 1855 his uncle,
the above memtioned Robert C. Hilgard,
of the Bellevue Savings Bsnk, went to
Chicago, where the young Henry had
run hard aground, and brought him to
Bellevue. But he left soon, and for five
or six years not a word was heard from
him. It seems, however, that Henry
Hilgard (Villard) became acquainted
with Horace Greel v when that journalist
visited the "Wild "West," who engaged
him aa a correspondent for his paper, the
New York Tribune. As cirrespondeut
Hilgard assumed the nom de plume of
Villard, and under his assumed nsme he
soon gained celebrity as an excellent
newspaper writer, particularly as a war
correspondent The foundation of his
immense fortune he laid during the
time when Government bonds stood
very low, by fortunate speculation in
those papers. During the time he visited
Europe four times. His knowledge and
pronunciation of the English language ia
such that he is taken for an American.
Henry Hilgard (Villard) is a true speci
men of a self-made man, and he has ele
vated himself to his present position by
his own grit and intellect.
I called to see Mr. Villard about it,
but found him out of town. Mr. Horace
White, however, said: "It is substan
tially true. His true name is, or rather
was, Heinrich Hilgard, but his father
became enraged with him on account of
some boyish freak, and, in a moment of
petulance he ran away, and even went so
far aa to change his name. They have
long since been reconciled and have ex
changed visits." -Corr. Pioneer Press.

from the great bridge, desired to commit
suicide, but changed bis mind upon
striking the water. The suicids of Clive
Hersee, a brother of Rose Hersee, the
prims donna, recently reported irom
Colorado, was marked by a similar
change of purpose, but in his case he
could not save himself. The Soldene
Opera Company, to which he belonged,
were on a train which was delayed on a
high bridge over Clear creek. As though
suddenly eonoeiving the idea he cried,
"Good-by, all," and jumped from the
platform of the car. Once ia the water
be tried with all his might to reach the
shore, and his companions sought to aa
aist him, but a swift current swept hia

will emphatically support the ladji
statement A man who marries only ia
the purpose of permanently securing i
cook and housekeeper deserves to be fed
on heavy bread and every other indiges
tible substance that his wife can lay her
hands on; but the most affectionate and
unselfish husband in the world is right
in expecting that his wife's duties it
the family partnership will be discharged
as thoroughly alike in hum-drum par
ticulars and in great ones as bis ova.
Making bread is hard, unromanticwori,
and so is standing over a servant to set
that she does it proberly; but it ui
more repugnant to taste and inclinatiot
than are the masculine duties of Belling
sugar or stocks, dunning laggard report
or watching conscienceless trickster
who pretend to be men of business; and
what do wives think of husbands wk
