grief and to attack the first person who
chances to cross their path; but to them
in their turn it Is an injustice to remem-
ber words spoken at such times. I was
endeavoring to say ns much to the unfor-
tunate James who however did not ap-
pear to hear me when Bracknell came
down stairs with a slow steady step.
Except that his usually florid complexion
had become perfectly colorless he showed
no traces of emotion. He waited until he
was close iieside me and then said quite
quietly “Sunning has broken his back
Maynard.' ’
AU of a sudden the groom burst out
crying. I don't know anything more
painful and pathetic to witness than the
unrestrained weeping of those who belong
to what we call the lower orders. It is all
very well to say that they feel less deeply
than we who have been schooled to con-
trol ourselves; but sometimes I doubt
whether they really do feel less deeply
and whether after all we have much
right to consider ourselves superior to
them because as we assume our sorrow
outlasts theirs. For in truth all sorrow is
short lived enough.
BrackneU glanced at the man knitting
his brows. “James” he said “I believe
I blamed you just now. 1 was wrong;
you Were not to blame. I beg your par-
don Janies.”
He spoke in a hard level voice. He
had made a mistake and apologized for it;
but he was not apparently moved. Pres-
ently he turned away taking me by the
arm and saying “Come upstairs and see
the boy. There is no more suffering now;
but he is dying all the same. Won’t last
through the night they say.”
I followed him up the stairs and across
the lauding wondering a little at his calm-
ness. But with his hand upon the lock of
a door from the other aide of which came
an audible murmur of voices he faced
about abruptly his eyes blazing and his
white face set.
“Damn that woman!” he exclaimed.
“She promised me that the boy should
never ride alone again and she has killed
him rather than have one of her cursed
flirtations interrupted."
I caught him by the arm to stop him
for his voice rang through the silent house;
but he guessed what I was afraid of and
broke into an odd savage sort of a laugh.
“Oh don’t distress yourself” he said
“it’s all one to her—she doesn’t care!”
Then he went into Bunning's room.
The poor little man was lying flat on his
back where they had laid him. His cheeks
were as white as marble and his features
were pinched and sharp but of all the
crowd of faces which I saw confusedly as
I entered his was the most cheerful.
Lady Bracknell was sitting by the win-
dow pressing her handkerchief to iier lips.
She looked frightened I thought. Beside
her stood Jim who I suppose had come
to the house upon the errand that we
know of and had been admitted. Lady
Mildred was there too and Sunning’s old
nurse and Lord Staines and Mr. Turner;
but none of them sjioke to me nor did I
venture to do more than glance at them.
Sunning had his dog a little blue Skye
on the bed beside him. He held out his
left hand to me for his right arm was
crushed and powerless and smiled. We
had been friends more so than I have had
any occasion to mention in the course of
this narrative and I think he was glad to
see me. He wished me to have the dog
he said and I was to take him away with
me please because he wouldn’t lie still
much longer “and he hasn’t had his walk
to-day.” He had a few last words to say
to me but they were only a few for his
strength was evidently ebbing fast and 1
could see that his childish brain was pre-
occupied. His eyes kept wandering from
one member of the group to another but
always rested longest upon Ms father
whose broad shoulders were turned
toward us and whose elbow I touched at
last feeling sure that the boy wanted to
speak to him.
Bracknell wheeled round hastily aud
dropped on his knees beside the bed.
“Yes my boy” he said “what is it?”
“Father” whispered Sunning “you
won’t have Sheila shot will you? I don’t
want Shiela to be shot.”
His eyes grew very large and piteous
end there was a quiver about the corners
of his mouth. No doubt he 1 ad had some
experience of his father s passionate
nature and feared that in a fit of unrea-
soning fury he might take vengeance upon
the irresponsible cause of his son’s death.
But Bracknell answered gruffly “No
my boy; nolxxly i.hall harm her. I’ll
swear that.”
Sunning gave a little sigh of relief
looked curiously at his father for a mo-
ment and then turned his head toward
Lord Staines who was sitting motionless
on the other side of the bed in what
seemed like a state of nerveless stupor.
“Never mind gran” he said; “it
doesn’t hurt.” And then “You’re so
a«fully old too gran; you’ll come soon.”
Lord Staines made no answer but
Mr. Turner rose and approached wiping
the tears away from his foolisli old eyes
with a large silk pocket handkerchief.
“We shall go to you; tint you will not
come back to us Sunning” he began. I
don’t care to quote the rest of his re-
marks. He was a cleric of the old fash-
ioned school who had not I should
imagine occupied himself much with the
subject of eschatology. It was perhaps
right that he should give utterance to his
views which I am sure were nt any rate
sincere; but those stereotyped phrases
about the New Jerusalem and white
winged angels and golden harps enunci-
ated with a certain pomposity despite the
occasional quavering of the speaker’s
voice jarred somewhat upon my ears as
I dare say they did upon those of several
other persons present. Sunning 1 -teiied
patiently. Thank God lie had not many
sins even of a childish kind to reproach
himself with. He had always been a
good boy as well as a brave one m l bail
no need to dread the unknown future lie
that what it may.
After a time he beckoned to me and
put the dog into my arms. “Goodby
Bluey” he whispered. The dog licked
his face and he patted its rough head and
then for the first time two great tears
welled up into his eyes and brimmed over.
I beut over him and kissed him and
then I picked up the dog and went away.
I hod no right to intrude upon the scene
which I could see was close at hand; and
besides to tell the truth I couldn’t bear
it any longer. Many sadder things than
a child’s death are happening in the world
every hour. One may look back upon it
dispassionately now and say that it was
perhaps well that our poor little Sunning
should have been taken from us—that if
he had lived he might not have been
happy; that lie would almost certainly
have been badly brought up; that
he would have succeeded to a di-
minished property; that he would
very likely have followed in the steps of
his father and grandfather with less
means at his disposal and consequently
greater temptations than theirs and so
forth; but the fact remains that he was
the brightest and most promising child I
haVe ever known and that humanly
speaking his life was cut short because
his mother did not choose to take the
trouble of looking after him.
CHAPTER XIII
Everybody expected that the loss of his
grandson would be poor old Lord Staines’
deathblow. He himself was of that
opinion and at first refused to leave bis
bed saying that he had now nothing to
live for. But perhaps upon further
thought he mav have raroauthwruU 0..*
u e had still certain matters to attend to
before quitting a troublesome world or
perhaps he may have lieen too old and
worn out to die of grief. At any rate he
did not die. nor did his health aiqiear to
suffer although I believe he was never
seen to smile again after Sunning’s little
coflin was laid in the family vault at
Staines court.
Midi Bracknell did not appear at the
funeral. It is believe#)—or at nil events It
was stated—that she felt unable to face so
cruel au ordeal; but the truth as I after-
ward heard on excellent authority was
that she was afraid to venture within
reach of her husband who had ordered
her away from him immediately after the
boy’s death assuring her that be was not
master of himself and that she would do
well to keep out of his sight for some time
to come So she took him at his word
and fled down to the country to the house
of I forget what friend who undertook to
comfort her in her affliction. Bracknell
remained in London and as I was told
continued to go to his club every day to
gamble heavily and to drink hard.
I called u|s>n him several times lint he
was always out; and one day when I
chanced upon him in the street he told
me roughly that I need niM trouble to look
him up again.
“Kindly meant I've no doubt” he said;
“but 1 should be very much obliged to my
friends if they wouldn’t lie so—etc. etc —
officious. When I want to be condoled
with I'll let them know.”
After that I could only leave him to
himself. Even it he had been willing to
listen to me I should have been puzzled
to discover any plausible form of consola-
tion; and certainly I should not have hit
upon that selected by my mother who in
the overflowing kindness of her heart
wrote him a long letter in which she re-
minded him that among other blessings
he still possessed his wife. I believe she
was afterward a little ashamed of having
takeu this bold step aud would never
have let me know of it had she lieen aide
to resist showing me Bracknell's reply
which was brief and pithy:
“Dear Mi’s. Maynard: I told your son
the other day that I didn’t wish to be con-
doled with and 1 don’t. But I must say.
that I hardly ex|>ected to be congratulated.
Lady Bracknell is not with me just now
or she would I am sure desire me to
thank you for speaking of her as a bless-
ing. It is probably the first time in her
life that she has been called by that name
and I should think it would lie the last.
Sincerely yours Bracknell."
My mother shook her head at this.
•‘He ought not to speak so of his wife”
she said. And when I brought forward
certain excuses on Bracknell’s behalf (I
would not shock her by mentioning all
those that might have been mentioned
nor would she have believed in them if I
had) she only shook her head the more
telling me that I had no realizing sense of
the sacredness of marriage.
Whether I deserved Hint rebuke or not
is of small consequence but I might fairly
have retorted that my dear mother for
her part was a little too sublimely indif-
ferent to the worldly side of that contract
and that by her present conduct she was
in danger not only of making two people
more unhappy than there was any oc-
casion for lint of getting herself into seri-
ous trouble as well. However I doubt
whether anything that I could have said
would have prevented her from asking
Lady Mildred to come in to ten every other
day and then casually getting Jim to
meet her. She had made up her mind
that this couple ought to be married and
even that it was the will of heaven that
they should lie married. It would have
been too much to expect that the will of
heaven should lie set aside to please Lord
Staines or Mr. Beauchamp the latter of
whom as my mother pointed out might
have proposed long ago if he had chosen
but had preferred to go off to Norw ay and
catch salmon.
And so during the summer our house
was made the scene of what to a common-
place person like myself wore very much
the appearance of clandestine love mak-
ing.
Lord Staines’ suspicions were at length
aroused and he sent for me to pour
them into my ear. It was on a fine au-
tumn day that in obedience to his sum-
mons I walked upto St;' res Court and
was shown into the library where he now
sat from morning to night and where in
spite of the warmth of the weather a tire
was burning. He looked very feeble and
broken bending forward in his chair and
holding up a thin trembling hand to the
blaze.
“Maynard” he said “1 want you like
a good fellow to speak a woril of warning
to your friend Ixiigh. I would rather not
speak myself. because as you know he
has been caused trouble and disappoint-
ment by our family already and I should
be sorry to seem unfriendly to him. So
w ill you just tell him as kindly as you can
that it won’t do? I see more than per-
haps you young folks suppose and of
course you know what I allude to. It
won’t do my dear Maynard. I am sorry
for it; but it won t do.”
“Lord Staines” I answered boldly “I
am not going to undertake any such com-
mission. 1 can quite understand your
anxiety to keep the Beauchamp property
in the family and if yon can get the per-
sons principally concerned to do as you
wish 1 dare say it will be in some respects
a good thing; hut I don't choose to be a
party to any scheme of that kind. My
point of view is not the same as yours.
What may become of the Beauchamp
property is nothing to me; whereas it is a
good deal to me that Jim Leigh should
have what he w ishes for. I believe that
Lady Mildred and lie are attached to each
other aud that being so I hope they will
stand up for themselves mid marry.”
I fully expected that this audacious
harangue would call forth an explosion of
wrath; but my expectations were not ful-
filled. Lord Staines only sighed wearily
and said: “God knows 1 care little enough
for money or lands now! My time is al-
most up and I suppose Braeknell will be
the last of our name. Against Isiigh I
haven't a word to say; only as I toll you
before it won't do. Mildred must marry
Beauchamp. I am under obligations to
him which can't lie discharged in any other
way: and he w ill be a kind husband toher.
We won't argue the point if you please.”
“He will not lie a husband of her choos-
ing” I made so bold as to observe despite
his prohibition.
“You don’t know what you are talking
about” returned the old man fretfully.
“The thing must be and there’s no use in
discussing it. If you don’t see your way
to speaking to your friend I must speak
to Mildred that’s all.”
I said nothing about this conversation to
those whom it concerned and whether
Lord Staines carried out his inteutiou of
remonstrating with Lady Mildred or not I
cannot tell. Very likely he did not for I
fancy that he shrunk from distressing her
and he may have thought it needless to
take active steps before Beauchamp's re-
turn from Norway.
No news with regard to that event
reached my ears and it was not until lute
in the autumn that I was made aware of
its having taken place by encountering
Beauchamp himself at a country house in
the north of England where 1 had been
invited to spend a few days. It struck
me that our meeting was not a source of
unalloyed satisfaction to him. There was
even a sort of sbamefacedness in his de-
meanor which I could not at first account
for but which explained itself at dinner
time when Lord aud Bracknell made
their appearance among several other
guests who had arrived late in the after-
noon and when her ladyship exchanged
meaning glances with my young friend
after affording Mm a conventionally polite
greeting.

from Ban Antonio upon the banks of the Guadalupe river a picturesque and attractive
stream in a beautiful and It vid wiwMled valley surrounded by a rolling country miles in ex-
tent. fertile valleys and grass clad hills alternating peculiarly adopted to profitable fanning
ami every branch of successful stock raising. This town Is much resorted to by invalids es-
pecially those sufferir g from lung diseases and is pre-eminently and justly noted for its pure
mountain air and general salubrity having an a titude of 1650 teet above sea level. During
winter the mean minimum temperature is 45 deg. and nt summer the mean maximum tem-
perature is 87 deg. the mean annual temperature 66 deg. ami annual rainfall 29 inches.
Kerrville has now 4uo inhabitants a tint* courthouse and Jail built at a cost of 925.G00: a 915-
hotel with all modern conveniences several substantial mercantile houses carrying Jobbing
and retail stocks; several large new rock business houses now in process of erection a large
(louring mid roller prooees in successful operation a syst* m of waterworks under construc-
tion and many other industries too numerous to give in detail The annual business of the
town is now 9*2500)0. The water |M>wer of the Guadalupe is capable of running tbe heaviest
machinery. The town is provided with ample church and school facilities of which latter
there are now two in successful operation each in charge of a corps of experienced and effi-
cient teachers and arrangements are now being perfected to erect at an early day a 910000
public school buildlnir The inhabitants of Kerrville as of the entire county are chiefly
Americans with a considerable admixture of the German and English element constituting in
the aggregate a moral religious and industrious people. Justly noted for their intelligence
hospitality nnd enterprise. Kerrville is now the terminus of the S. A. A. P. K. K. recently
completed and will certainly become the receiving and distributing base for eight or ten
large and rapidly developing contiguous counties lying north and west and southwest of her
embracing within their limits one of the largest and richest cattle and wool producing sec-
tions of Texas. With a location of unrivaled topographical advantages and surrounded by
hill and valley blended in scenes of surpassing loveliness; with skies as sunny and balmy as
those of Italy and an atmosphere than which by verdict of ail who have tested none can be
more delicious or salubrious and with a territory equal in area to an ordinary state made
tributary to her business interest and a rapidly increasing trade Kerrville offers to the man
of business seeking a field for successful operation: to the man of pleasure in quest of
wholesome ami health giving recreation; to the invalid who may find in an absolutely pure
atmosphere and amid scenes of groat natural beauty a renewal of health; to the capitalist
who would embark in a safe and profitable speculation and to all other conservative classes
inducements to come supplemented by assurances that they shall not be disappointed wnioh
cannot fall to answer fully every reasouable demand and requirement. Besting her claim to
consideration upon solid merit. Kerrviile challenges rigid and unsparing scrutiny and com-
parison in thus inviting attention and soliciting investment.
