Her poor li:!!e steeds are made to feel the varia'i-'iis of her temperament so plainly this they become rather unman ageable, and the groom has to descend ajiain and othe them. I.ndy Moiiut carnin bccoa.is impatient. She tosses the reins down .-:nd leaves her seat. "Take t!e::i ho;n William," she says. "I am tired of driving to-day. 1 shall walk back through the park." The servant obeys orders, and Gladys is left tc herself. This is just what she desires. Her mil:.! is in too perturbed and per plexed a erudition for the society of any-thinff--ev"u too ponies and a croom. It Is full of .lemmie nothing in heaven or on earth ii.:l Jetnmie.

And it is at this moment that liladys turns her ponies' heads into the gate, and sees the coach standing In fore the door. The commotion she makes in trying to re treat again, and the smothered esrlama ious of the groom and gardener, attract the attention of Mr. Brooke, lie raises his hei,d from the money in his hand, and catches sight of the back of the phae ton as it plunges through the plot of Auorican shrubs.

I thooghf I might ns well prepare you for seeing her. .'. iimiie. for she is certainlj changed, and it it might be a surprise to you." She then went on to tell her brother all that the reader is already acquainted with, including the rumors concerning I-ard Mounttarroti and Ague Itush'Tton, which, she, too bad heard. Jeumiie is naturally indignant, and de clare that the scandal must be stopped. "When shall you go and see them?" asks his sister. Mr. Brooke looks uneasy, and begins to stammer. "I don't know! I canntit tell. To morrow, perhaps, if I have time." "To-morrow is a hunting day. Th. hounds meet at Wordley Copse. I (ap pose Monntcarron and Miss Ktsherton will be there. I believe tbey have not missed a meet this season." "Does not Cindy hunt, too?" "Oh, no. She ha given up riding alto gether. She tells me she is not strong enough. Shall yon ride to bounds to morrow, Jemmie?" 'Tertian I may. 1 am not sure. I. should like to find out a little more about Monntcarron and Miss Kusherton first, for were I to see them together, and at all confidential, I am afraid I couldn't keep my hands off him," "Oh!

Oilman endorsement, though perhaps there is too much paraphernalia in every -day use. Tbe aim of the kindergarten should In- the formation of habits of truth, attention, lieaiuess, courtesy and reverence. And ibis should be brought about by pleasant processes. Or. Oilman urges preparation for practical life for public school chil dren, who w ill not take higher courses. The eye anil hand training should be thorough, ami while drawing Is of great value, more than drawing is needed. The observation of nature should be cultivated, and practical em ployment provided. "From the needle to tbe pencil, from tbe knife to the box of tools, is an easy graduation, everywhere possible, and every young person should lie carried through at least three stages of 'handi craft.' 'Look,' 'do,' 'think,' and 're member,' are four lessons that ought to lie enjoined upon every scholar, ev ery day through tbe period of adoles cence." As regard religious Instruction. President Oilman suggested that the term "Oodles schools" Is mad.' possi ble by religious people who are afraid of the introduction of religious instruc tion Which tints not unite meet their own views. The essentia! points In re ligion should be Impressed upon every child. A book of selections from the Scriptures might be made which could be indorsed alike by I'rotcstant and Human Catholic. Men nt I me teacliTS must teach ethics by precept and ex ample.
