It was tin- fate of lloster Main waring to work always, nml of Frank Thornton, tin- man she loved, to play, sitting at Hip In her small VM&tv Heater writing WUS table study in R street; alio balanced a pen between her lingers while she 1 Is -tuned to Frank, who walked Impatient ly, up and down the room. He was a well-built man of the flashy type one bo often sees worshiped by women. "It Is not an atom of good my stay ing In England, Hester; we cannot pos sibly marry, even with the help of the two or three hundred a year you make by your work. 1 shall exchange, ami go to India, and in a few years you will have put by a certain amount, and I shall then be able to come home and marry you." Ho paused and looked down at her. She laid aside her pen, anil clasped her hands on her lap; the corners of her mouth twitched. "If you think It better. Frank If It will In any way advance you In your profession, go, but" and then the woman In her came uppermost "It Is ho very, very far away." He laughed and touched her hair lightly. "Of course It Is, hut (hero are the malls very week and one tan get home easily enough nowadays." "Very well, dear, then you must go. nml I shall write pages every mall and expect you to do the same." She smiled Into his eyes bravely his face brightened. "I thought you would see It. Hester, when I put It clearly before you. You always do regard things In a sensible light, and It gives a man a feeling of reliance. Well, 1 shall go to the war olllco now," he continued, seizing Ills hat. "I will look lu this evening again. No, I can't, by the way, I am dining out but to-morrow morning." He kissed her quickly, and then the door banged. The woman leant up against the chlnineypkco. and laid her head on her hands. She worshiped him so: she had know aud loved him all her life; she had worked and slaved for him: she knew all ills weak, nil his strong points now lie was go ing from her to a strange land-nnd--and he would slip out of her life, perhaps. The door opened and a girl entered the room. "Hester why, what's the matter?" Hester lifted her head Irom tin; chlm ney'pleco, her face was white and anil drawn, and iter line gray eyes had .wjyl ' . I SUA I.I, RK WAITING. deep black lines round them. The other laid her hand on her shoulder. "Frank Is at the bottom of this, I suppose?" She said the name with a touch of scorn. "He Is going to India." "0!" and the girl gave a long, low whistle. "Look here, Hester, I have never spoken before, because I did not want to hurt you, but It Is Just this you are throwing away all your chance of happiness lu life for Frank Thornton. Men of his type do not marry women like you or me; they depend on them, they accept their love, but they do not choose them for their wives; it is already live years slnco you were first engaged to him; bo wise and break It off before he goes away whllo you have the opportunity." Hester laughed, but It wuh a laugh of Intense pain. "Do you remember, Madge, you told me a few days ago that you had never loveil It yon had, you would know that what you uok of mo is impossible. Frank is my world tno very meatn or my life. I have worked for him, lived for him. 1 never have a thought In which ho does not play sonio part when one loves a man like that one cannot give him tip-do you realize at all what It means?" The younger woman was heating the floor with her foot; sho was very clov er, very modern, and sho did not be lieve In love. "No I don't understand; I do not think I ever shall." Then she fumbled In the pocket of her coat. "If you can spare the time. Hester. I want you to run over this article before I send It In." More than a year had passed since Frank Thornton sailed for India. Spring had come, with Its snowdrops and crocuses and soft bnlmy days. In R street Hestor sat In her tiny study waiting and watching for tho malls. There was a great want of tenderness Htss vt&rs m jtv. n m s o.ra JilBSi r'Y- "'!.': "'.'

Hester, wo an; itolng abroad for a month or so. ami yon must come, too- now, no excuses; you will he our guest, and the change will work wonders and blow away all the cob webs." Hester was very tired, so she said. "Yes." A fortnight later she had left It all behind -the smoke, and the noise, and the work; she was reveling lu contin uous sunshine, lu azure skies, In dis tant snow-tipped peaks, in a vast ex panse of mm with rock-hound shores. The tired look left her eyes and the color came and staid In her check She met him dining at a friend's the tall, strong man, with the keen gray eyes. He sat next her at dinner, and they dlscoveied that they had many Interests lu common; they were both workers, they had both fought In the struggle for life, which is In It self a bond of union. They met again the next day. and for ninny days after. Friendship with him was Invigorating: his grasp of a sub ject was so clear, he saw points that other people often missed. Then came the lut vltable end of r.iuii friendships. It was during a walk that the man told her he loved her. He said it very simply, no passionate declara tion of devotion, hut she knew that this man loved as no other had ever done. Sho grew white, and her heart beat In great bounds against her side. She tried to stop him, but he went on quite calmly to the end. She leant up against a rock that jutted into the path -her lips trembled. "I did not know that you teally cared for me, otherwise I should have told you." and then she told him tin his tory of her life, of Frank Thornton, whom she had loved so long. He stood and faced her, drawing cir cles on the pathway with his stick When she had finished speaking, he took a deep breath aud straightened his shoulders. "Are you sure that this man loves you as you love him?" he said slowly. The color crept Into her face, and she clasped her lingers tightly togeth er. "1 pray Clod that he does." The other man set his teeth anil dug his stick Into the ground. There was a pause for a few moments; presently he said quietly: "I wish you to remember that if this man whom you love ever falls you I shall ho there, waiting." His voice broke at the end, and some how a mist seemed to rise aud shut out the stream, the railway, and the glaut boulders ft mil them both. When it had cleared they were walking side by side down the path by which they had come. ' It was a typical Indian night, with a warm, moist atmosphere, and not a breath of air to stir the leaves of the palm trees that nourished in the com pound. Two people passed out Into thp veranda to discover if such a thing as a breath of air were to lie found. One was a woman in a soft while gown, the other a man in evenliu dress. The woman sank into a chair with a sigh, wliilu her bauds lested languidly on its arms. The man s.it down beside her. ami they remained without speaking for some moments. Then he drew nenrer. and very gently laid his hand on hers. "Dear, I think you must know that I care for you more than for anything on earth. I tried to tell you a week ago, hut yon wouldn't let me. I will tell you now that I love you with my whole heart and soul." "Hut the woman In Kngland. The woman who has loved you all her life?' "I will write to-morrow and tell her," he whispered. And the girl in the soft white gown murmured. "Yes." It was a cruel, thoughtless letter. He loved and was going to marry another woman she, the woman in Knglnnd, would quite understand. She had al ways been much too clever for h'.m, he could never live up to her Ideals, but he would not like to lose the friendship of so many years, and he hoped that when he came to Kngland he might bring his wife to see her. Hofore dinner .Madge came Into her room, and Hester handed her a letter she had Just written, which said: Do you remember telling me once that If I ever wanted you you would be "there waiting?" I want you now. Will you come? Yours HKSTKR MAINWAR1NC.. "I am awfully glad, Hester," was Madge's reply as she gave It her back. Something In the tone of her voice struck Hester, but Madge had her back turned, so she never saw thut her lips quivered. Homo Notes. CIiiiiiko of Teiiipi'rutnre.

About two bundled are carriage horses; the rest are used for the saddle. The mews are principally supplied from (he Imperial breeding stiids.Aboul forty remounts are required every year. In the spring tho master of the horse aud the two departmental direc tors travel around to the various studs and make a selection from the foiir- ear-olds not required for breeding purposes. Horses for heavy work are obtained elsewhere. Saddle animals for weight are selected from among F.ngllsh or Irish hunters, ami swift carriage horses are purchased in Hun gary or Itussla. At the head of the llerlln mews Is a master of the horse, the clerical work being In charge of a privy councilor. The walls are ornamented wrtli pic tures of former occupants or the Im perial mews, biped and quadruped, ami there Is an admirable library of books connected with the horse. The per sonnel consists mainly of active olll ccrs, tlie remainder are so-called volun teers, who, however, must act as re serve olllcers. The undress Is a 1,1, , I frock coat with short skirts, cap. white trousers, and Jackboots. On pa rade days the cap is changed for n cocked bat ami a red tunic, with heavv cavalry sword. The assistants are mostly uou-cotnmlssioueil olllcers with a clean sheet. The grooms and stable boys are also selected from the cavalry and enjoy ninuy advantages, such as free lodging and medical attendance. Their work lug Jacket Is red. hut outside the mews they wear black. Willi white trousers ami tiding boots, with the usual "chim ney pot.

Popular tumor says that most of the splendid dapple grays that he received as a present from a European monarch were rendered useless by the imperii) driver withlc u couple of seasons. Ills Hungarian croys, known as ".Inciter," are used mostly as "four-ln-hunds," aud are under the superintendence of a Hungarian trainer. There are in all twenty of these, so that the kaiser can always rely on having a team lu per fect condition. The impe-lal saddle horses are se lected with special care. The qualities required of an animal to which Will lam II. trusts himself arc speed, stay ing power, perfect security In action, steadiness under fire aud amid popu lar demonstration, quick obedience, a soft mouth, nnd noble appearance. It is put through a dally exercise lu order to maintain It at the same perfect standard. An nnlmnl that cannot come out of the ordeal of training without u mark against its nnme Is rejected with out scruple, whatever bo the othur qualities it possesses. The method or training Is no child's play, but involves the uso of a good deal or apparatus and Is must scientific in Its character. Tho animal Is nttached by the sur .ingle between two uprights, and kept going on the same spot, In order to strengthen the leg muscles and lend pliability to them. For horses that show any signs of sluggishness, the method called the I.onge Is employed, which puts a livelier action Into them. lMoro trusting them between tho shafts they aro ridden with saddle and traces, and a number of the stable boys hold on to theso latter, regulating tho resistance according to the require ments of the animal. A by no means Inconsiderable part uf tho animals' education Is takcu up with accustoming them to tho sights which, when the kaiser Is on tholr back, will be Included In tholr future equine career the march of soldiers, the crowded, noisy streets, tho music of bands, the crack of musketry nnd tho roar of artillery. On tho exercise ground they are walked beside drum mers, and ridden literally up to the , ''-rTi". J tmuilpnionlimi nf noise The riders also come in for a train ing a capital Idea being that of the ball game on horseback. The ball Is attached to the groom, who continually throws it into the air and catchei; It again. Hy this means he Is compelled to give his attention to the ball and to guide and conltol the horse with his legs by altering the center of gravi tation of the body, lie thus secures for himself a free and easy seat lu the saddle, Instead of anxiously following every movement of the animal. The usual method of harnessing is In pairs, which are driven fioni the box. Driving four-in-hand from the box Is only resorted to lu the case of the dapple grays, or when the kaiser pursues the chase, lu the mews the four-in-hand method Is the so-called a la Daiiuiont namely, with postilion. For the six In hand there Is only one postilion. On state occasions, when the kaiser appears drawn by eight horses, the two shaft animals are driven from the box. the rest are led hy grooms. The horses are plumed, but the trappings are by no means gorgeous. Postilions precede the carriage, and lu bet ween them and the leaders tides the master of the horse or some other high olllclal. The kaiser very seldom drives single harness, but the royal pi luces can of ten bo seen at Potsdam lu their pony phaeton, which they themselves drive, accompanied by their Instructor lu pince-nez aud silk hat. To every pair or horses Is a groom, and ther are three "vets," who also have charge or the smithy. There is an auction ut the stud twice a year, and the purchaser has the advantage of knowing exactly the kind of cieatuie he Is buying, In asmuch as every defect is conscien tiously committed to paper, and "fak ing" Is unknown. At such auctions, says the (Jolilen Penny, theie Is a reg ular scramble to get hold of a "kais ei's horse," for It Is easy to ride, and answers as readily to the piessure of the knee as to the rein- In fact the kaiser does much more with bis leg than with his hand, nnd the horses have lo undergo a special and laborious training to adapt them for use by their imperial rider.
