"Yes," he responded, "I daresay this one never positively plotted to deceive his father: he followed his appetites unchecked, and is internally the sounder of the two." Ripton, with his sunken chin and snoring nose under the light of the lamp, stood for human nature, honest, however abject. "Miss Random, I fear very much, is a necessary establishment!" whispered the monitor.

This article obtained circulation in Ripton, although it was not copied into the Record out of deference to the feelings of the Honourable Hilary Vane. In addition to the personal regard Mr. Pardriff professed to have for the Honourable Hilary, it maybe well to remember that Austen's father was, among other, things, chairman of the State Committee. Mr. Tom Gaylord roared with laughter.

When I passed the Honourable Hilary's door just now, Brush Bascom and some of the old liners were there, reciting parts of the proclamation, and the boys down in the Ripton House are having the time of their lives." Austen took the Guardian, and there, sure enough, filling a leading column, and in a little coarser type than the rest of the page, he read: DOWN WITH RAILROAD RULE!

Thompson said you were over there yesterday?" Ripton, glad to speak the truth, hurriedly assured Adrian that it was not he had said so. "Not? You had good sport, gentlemen, hadn't you?"

Rand-Brown's attitude underwent a complete transformation at the news. He became friendliness itself. "All right," he said. "I say, I'm sorry I said what I did about lying.

The dismembered Guardsman talked to a friend whose arm supported him, and speculated from time to time on the fair ladies driving by. The two white faces passed him unobserved. Unfortunately Ripton, coming behind, went plump upon the Captain's live toe or so he pretended, crying, "Confound it, Mr. Thompson! you might have chosen the other."

"Oh, quite well! only a trifle tired with her journey, and fluttering- like," Mrs. Berry replied to Ripton alone. The lover had flown aloft. The wise woman sagely ushered Ripton into her own private parlour, there to wait till he was wanted.

It was about five minutes from the end of the game when the Ripton right centre-three-quarter, in trying to punt across to the wing, miskicked and sent the ball straight into the hands of Trevor's colleague in the centre. Before his man could get round to him he had slipped through, with Trevor backing him up.
