But' no cavalier waited to .assist her. and no smart cob whinnied '. impatient-, ly over the delay in the appearance of her own horse. - I Lovo Thco, Carolina., The following besutifal poena, the Presently the groom would lead her horse to the block, he would assist her in the saddle with the perfunctory care of a hireling, and she would gocanter ing off alone to her ride. It was this fact and not the slow "ness of the" stable hands 'that brought the frown to Jacauellne's face. For the first time in her life she was tired of being the boy of the family. When stalwart John Morewood had leaned over; the cradle to look down Into the blinking eyes of his flreborn the baby had seized the proffered fin ger In sturdy clasp and her father had chuckled with delight. "She's shaking hands like the little gentleman she Is," he declared. Then and there he had named her Jacque line that lie might call her Jack He seemed to find comfort for his dis appointment in her sex by making his little- daughter as boyish as possible. In her youth, thanks to his training, she had been given over to tomboy tricks When she was thirteen andn baby brother cameto share her reign she regarded, the newcomer's appear ance with contempt. 'I'm the best boy," she declared with emphasis, and she took pride in her father's assurance that she was indeed. Ji ramie became his mother's ret. while Jack still . chummed with her father, and as the boy grew up delicate and pallid Jack seemed to gain mannishness i)y contrast , She as the gftlf champion. of th" country club. not in the ladies' class, but by virtue of having beaten all the men. She could ride wherever a man went, could shoot straight and handle . ;si cue. She was voted a "good fellow." Shut now, on the eve of her twenty-second birthday. Jack turned rebellious. Her thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of the groom with her horse, and presently she was cantering -down the drive to the highway. Once on the road she eased the horse into a trot The cliff road was accounted "one of the most beautiful in the state, but Jack gave no heed to the beauty of the scene. ; Phil Minturn had cantered past with Bess Farley just before she had start ed out and his careless greeting had wounded her : She had been good chums with Phi! ever since she was a little girl, and he had alv ays given her the same careless greeting offellowship.' but this morning it had jarred. She knew that he did not really care for Bess. He had said so more than once, but -Mrs. Farley would not let Bess ridp unless there was some one with her who could keep a watchful eye on her mount, so .'Phil, being a neighbor, had 'come to the girl's relief. : - As with Phil, so it was with the mother men. They were all good -chums, but they were only chums.- Jack could, pot recall a tender speech ever made to her, and, carrying her intro spection further, she did not blame the' boys for regarding her as qne of them selves. Even In the evening her thick dark hair was severely done: and her dress was in keeping., '-.
