T
i HE week passed swiftly , aay
after day echoing with the
steady fusillade from marsh to
covert, from valley to ridge.
Lord Alderdene. good enough on snipe
and cock, was driven almost fran
tic by the ruffed grouse; Voucher
did better for a day or two and then
lost the knack; Marion Page attended
to business in her cool and thorough
style, and her average on the gun
room books was excellent and was
also adorned with clever pen and ink
sketches by Siward. 1
Leroy Mortimer had given up shoot
ing and established himself as a haunt
er of cushions in sunny corners. Tom
O'Hnra had gone back to Lenox; Mrs.
Vendenning, to Hot Springs. Beverly
Plank, master of Black Fells, began to
pervade the house after a tentative ap
pearance, and he and Major Bel wether
pottered about the coverts, usually aft
er luncheon, the latter doing little dam
age with bis fowling piece and nobody
knew how much with his gossiping
tongue. Quarrier appeared in the field
methodically, shot with judgment, tak
ing no chances for a brilliant perform
ance which might endanger his re
spectable average. As for the rage
boys, they kept the river ducks stir
ring' whenever Eileen Shannon and
Rena Bonnesdel could be persuaded
to share the canoes with them. Other
wise they haunted the vicinity of those
bored maidens, suffering snubs sor
rowfully, but persistently faithful.
They were a great nuisance in the
evening, especially as their sister did
not permit them to lose more than
$10 a day at cards.
Cards that is, bridge and preference
ruled, as usual, and the latter game,
being faster, suited Mortimer and Fer
rall, but did not aid Siward toward re
couping his bridge losses.
Two matters occupied him. Since
cup day he had never had another op
portunity to see Sylvia Landis alone;
that was the first matter. He had
touched neither wine nor spirits nor
malt since the night Ferrall had found
him prone, sprawling in a stupor on his
disordered bed that was the second
matter, and it occupied him, at times
required all his attention, particularly
when the physical desire for It set in
Steadily, mercilessly, mounting inex

It ebied at last, particularly when a
Sleepless night had exhausted him.
He had gone back to bis shooting
again after a cool review of the ethics
Involved. It even amused him to
think that a girl who had cleverness
enough to marry many millions, with
Quarrier thrown in, could have so
moved him to sentimentality. He had
ceded the big cup of antique silver to
Quarrier, too. a matter which troubled
him little, however, as in the irrita
tion of the reaction he had been shoot

the gunroom books were open to any

his hands save when the Ode threat-
Croup Cured and a Child's Life Saved

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera

"I have used Chamberlain's Colic,

several years for diarrhoea. I considj

ever be glad to speak a word in its
praise when I have the opportunity."
