Charlesworth were busily chatting, but I noted that the Spanish woman whispered some words to her companion which caused him to glance in our direction. Afterwards they both rose and went out.

I was told that you were engaged, or practically engaged, to Charlesworth, and disliked any one else taking up your time." She sat up indignantly. "To Captain Charlesworth? How absurd! I suppose I've Ida to thank for that. I wouldn't have married him for anything." "Is that so? What a game of cross-purposes life is! But that's why I didn't try to speak to you much." "Did you want to?

Reynolds went on: "Captain Charlesworth is cow boss, an' will see that you earn yo' bo'd. Cap'n, this young man comes from my good friend, Cap'n Delmar, of Sante Fe. You know Delmar?" "I should think so," said the boss. "It seems this youngster kin ride, seem's he's on Wild Cat." Reynolds smiled: "I reckon you can consider him both able and willin', captain." "Well, slip off an' eat.

But his thoughts were not of the attempts on his life and the probability that they would be repeated. His mind was filled with Noreen to the temporary exclusion of all other subjects. She puzzled him. He had supposed her engaged, or practically engaged, to Charlesworth. Yet she had come away from Darjeeling at its gayest time and here seemed to be engrossed with Chunerbutty.

Then Charlesworth came and told me, sir, and of course I went to the study at once, and then I saw that, wherever Mr. Herapath might be then, he certainly had been home." "You judged that from what?" asked Barthorpe. "Well, sir, it's been the rule to leave a supper-tray out for Mr. Herapath. Not much, sir whisky and soda, a sandwich or two, a dry biscuit. I saw that he'd had something, sir."

But she was too excited at the thought of the approaching contests to think much of her appearance. Charlesworth took her to see the pony that she was to ride, and, as she passed through the enclosure, she did not hear the admiring remarks of many of the men and, indeed, of some of the women.

"Many of these Bengali students in London marry their landladies' daughters or girls they've picked up in the street, persuading the wretched women by their lies that they are Indian princes. Then they bring them out here to herd with a black family in a little house in the native quarter." "Yes; but that girl is a lady," answered Charlesworth impatiently.

The constant work and preoccupation kept Dermot from dwelling much on Noreen. Nevertheless, he thought often of the girl and hoped that she would be happy when she married the man she was said to have chosen. He felt no jealousy of Charlesworth; on the contrary, he admired him as a good sportsman and a manly fellow, as well as he could judge from the little that he had seen of him.

Extract from Preface. The Ministry of Life. By Maria Louisa Charlesworth, Author of Ministering Children. 1 vol., 12mo., with Two Eng's., $1. "The higher walks of life, the blessedness of doing good, and the paths of usefulness and enjoyment, are drawn out with beautiful simplicity, and made attractive and easy in the attractive pages of this author.

"I'd like to meet her," said Charlesworth, who was returning from ten days' leave in Calcutta. "If I ever do, I'll advise her not to go travelling about with a black man. I suppose she's just out from England and knows no better." "She'd probably tell you to mind your own business," observed his friend. "Hullo! it looks as if the engine-driver is actually going to get a move on this old hearse.
