When he had found her he meant to train her on hi-, nifailiide system. That was his programme, and it never occurred to him to distrust his powers of car rying it out. His belief in himself was nb-oiute, and the infallibility of his reasoning and judgment a thing that, to his mind, did notadmitof the slightest shadow of a doubt. i'.va Carringtou, the"- bride-elect, S'i- a beauty. A softly-titited skin, satin-smooth, veined like the petal of a rose; V.r. tbiily liair that shone gohlen : u-i.t in the funlight ; elear, smiling '1 of Heaven's own blue, aud inno- ht r sj hp-that looked just made, f r t ! first kiss of .love, were all Me:..";, i together in a dainty and most HH-uteitm h-de.

W. .: Eva's soft blue eves and 1 ry t little wavs wrought dire de- r ti .in the ranks of the stronger ; 1. but she .appeared quite uncon- ; of her power, or indifferent to :t. . To all intents and urposos she v.-w unplttely-"wrapped up iu tho she had promised to marry. His s her law. and to please hini the -'h.vf ohjWt of her life. In short, his rr.-raiame seemed in a fair wiy to be carried out. ib. r total submission delighted him it.-d he took every advantage c f it. ll a a- not in him to show generosity to 1 iv ,.r,,..T,i o- uu eed. to uuvtninx ce thought weaker than himself. He was the tort of man who is brutal to his dogs an 1 horses, and overbearing to his servants who, in ehort, tyran nizes wlif-iif-rer hs can do so without fear of retaliation. His - nature as serted itelf in hi? kaling3 with the woman he loved, and ho took the kf-e-nest possible pleasure in trading on her forbearance, taxing her en durance tij the utmost, and showing off her pliant will and obedient tem per to the world at lare. It was ali a part of the system that could not fad. Nin' ty-nino women out of a hnn-lr-d would have torn the hvfteru to hhred.s and ctterod it to the four winds of heaven -Eva Carringtou was tlf hundredth woman. She fcub raitt d to everything with the mont remarkable patience, and no word of complaint or reproach, ever passed her lips. I'ut after a time 'she prow quieter, an I her bright spirits seemed to Hag. Her in'-rry girlish laughter wa not nearlv ho rr idy a it had been six month ago, mi l th corners of her rrttv mouth bean to droo: with a wistful exoressioii that was pathetic nouh to touch l lie hardest of mascu line ljeartH. Charlie's frien Is all noticed the change, and commented upon it among themstdvep, and applied to him a varied selection of opprobrious epithet". Lord Dolly Dashwood dis- played a surprising amount of "uencv on tii" s'-'iioct. ieastiv r,vi. . . . No idea how to tn at a woman. Ought to be horsewhipped, don't you know. Shall have to cut him, by Jove ! Can't stand this fort of thiuir, you know. Bevond a joke." Tliun said his lordship, and a gooe Jeal more that would not look well or .paper. Charlie went -on giving his petty arrogance full play, until, as was only 10 pe expccteo, things cam" i a crisis, The wonder wa.s thev had not done so lon before. On. the occasion of Lady Brown Jones's ball he went the length of forbidding his fiancee to dance round dances with any one but himself, and, though she received his com mands without a murmur, her soul rose in -passion Ate revolt acrainst his tyranny. This last test that he had devised seemed to her tho worst of all. - As a matter of fact, she had sub mitted patiently to far harder ones; but we all know the feminine capacity for swallowing a camel and straining at a gnat, and Eva was no less incon sequent than the rest of her sex. The gnat stuck in her throat and ob stinately refused to be dislodged. There always .must' be a last straw, and this was it. When the ball was half "over Lord Dollv put m an appearance, and at tin" quite alone, Charlie had left hei for a minute or. two to speak to n friend, and she was looking wistfully at the maze- of. couples that revolved before hvr. Lord Dollv made straight for 'Not dancinsr. Miss Carringtou! Luck for me, by Jove ! Hipping waltz, this. Have a turn V He stuck ouf.his elbow invitingly, but Eva turned away, biting her hp. "No, thank you !" she answered, in t . tit . . ... : 1. . . .. a low tone, 1 can 1 nance nu ou, Lord Dollv." "Can't?" echoed his lordship. "How's that? hats up? Not ill, are vou? Not cross with me eh' Eva shook her head. ! "No. I am not ill or cross, but but . ...... . . I have promised Charlie only to waltz with him. He doesn't like to see mc waltzing with other men." Lord Dolly choked down a forcible but inelegant remarK. cleared his throat violently, and ran Ins ringers through his hair. The two latter pro- reed;ngs we-e Mgns ot severe mcnta. Jiturbauee. There was a slight pans. "And he dances so awfuli; badly,"' Eva went on. with a queer li tie catch in her breath. ' He can't waltz a bit not a little wee bit. He -holds vou all wrong-"' Her voice quivered and broke 03 I the last word -and she looked up at j the man by her tide with great tearful eves, like f?rget-me-noti drowned in dew. That look finished it was on'.v a man. T 5 T uoiij "Beastlv shame he i riedly. "Come wth me quiet out on the reranda. A fellow can talk there, don't yon know. Come along!" nd Eva went. Charlie Nelthorpe was bristling with ontraged pride- and wounded self-esteem when he went to pay his custom ary visit to Eva on the day following Lady Brown-Jones's ball. The fact that Eva could forget herself and the respect that was due to hitn bo far as to sit on the veranda with Lord Dolly for half aa hoar had been a severe blow to him, and he had not yet re covered from the hock. He had re- IE frained from commenting upon her conduct at the time, but now he meant to take it out of her and reduce lu-r to the state of abject penitence that he considered befitting the occasion. She was reading when he went into the room, but she laid her book abide at once. Oh, Charlie, is that you?" Charlie frowned, "How often have I told you, my dear Eva, that a self-evident fact requires no asserting?" he asked in hii mott dogmatic tone. She shrugged her shoulders. : "How often? Oh, I don't know. A hundred times, I dare Bay; You look cross, Charlie." Charlie frowned again. There was an intangible something in Eva's tone Rn(j uiauuer that was not wont to be there. Something that he could neith- er define nor understand, though he felt it instinctively. "I am not cross, Eva, but I am grieved grieved beyond . measure. Your conduct last night cans 2d me acute pain, the more so as you ex pressed no regret for it. But I hope von are in a better frame of mind to- lav, and ready to say you are sorry for ayou did. Until you have , d ,fc f j f t T can kiss you." Charlie fully expected that this stu- pendous threat would reduce Eva to the lowest depths of despair and bring her, figuratively speaking to her knees; but for once he was out in his calculations. She drew up her slender figure and pursed up her rosy lips with an air that mado him feel vague ly uneasy. Was it possible, he won dered, that she intended to defy him? Yes. Her next words proved that it was so. "1 am not sorrv," she said, "not a bit. I am glad. 1 would cto it again. Charlie gasped. The situation was 1 - ! - 1 r . li..l lrk 1,1 rw-if Tlfi so uniooKeu 101 luai -.v. j.a.j to it all at once. As for kissing me," Eva went on, with a little disdainful motie, "veli, vou will never have the chance of do-. ing that again, so vou need not excite 0 0 ' yourself." unarne louna nis voice tnen "You are talking at random now. Evn, he said severely, "abad haoit against which I have always warned you. Will you bo kind enough to ex plain yourself?' Eva tilted her small nose in the air, and a horrible doubt suddenly assailed him. Was there could there be a hitch in the infallible system after all". The thought appalled htm. , "Oh, certainly," Eva answered, "I can do it in a verv few words. Lord Dolly proposed to me last night, and 1 accepted him." Charlie gasped again. "But you are engaged to me," he ejaculated. "You must be mad. You can't seriously contemplate throwing mt over for Dollv Dashwood? The thing's impossible !" She looked at him and smile 1. "Incredible as it may seem to you, I do contemplate it." "But but but," stammered Char lie, "this is very er extraordinary behavior on your part, Eva. Are you aware that yon propose to trat me in a most dishonorable way, and and ' er in short, very badly?' Her face grew grave. "I should be sorry to do that," '. said, more centlv. "I I don t want to be dishonorable, or to treat y y. badlv, Charlie. Bat l &m only hum-n and no one but mvself know whv. 1 have gone through in the fe months.

She psued and looked critically at her rejected lover, who now presented a truly pitiable appearance, with all the starch taken out of him and a gen eral air of limp depression pervading his being. 'l'hat is all," she went on presently. 'B it before you go thete is one thing that I should like to impress upon you : f for "future guidance: It alwavs worth a man'h while to be just and fair i even to awomen." She paused again and contemplated him her big blue eyes, but ho said nothing. He was too bewildered to speak. It seemed to him that all the laws o creation were reversed and the whole scheme of 4 ho. universe turned upside down. There was a hitch in the system somewhere. It had failed ! London Truth. The Horse's Ancestors. The horse mado its appearance in Eocene times. The earliest remains, states Stephen Bowers in a recent ac count of the remarkable early animals, arckuown as cohippus, or dawn horse. Then, in the next succeeding age, the Miocene, we have mesohippus, and toward its close miohippus. After this came protohippus and pliohippus, both in tho pliocene period, and equis in quaternary times. The early forms were not larger than a fox, and what is more singular still, they had in front four perfect toes and three behind. This was especially true of Orohippus.

THAT BAGOING DRE'SS. Even the plan of using fancy pins to hold the skirt and belt together at the back, does not work alwavs satis- factorily. A very pretty woman has a number of belts that completely over come the skirt difficulty. The belts do not always match the skirts by any means. She usually has a stock and belt to match, however. The belts are made either of muslin, linen, silk or ribbon, tind in the "mi Idle of tho back a piece of the belt ribUm n ruffled on to tho lower edge of the belt for about three inches each pi lo of the point exactly marking the centre of the back of the belt.
