the heavens cf a light, tender blue, the
blue of an early spring rooming Ibat fol

resumed their way. Ueforo him, bathed in

monsieur, you know, I think, what you

He had but one passion the horse and
that passion had ruined him. To ride, to
run them, to mount tliem a, races, and to
nave a stable had been the fixed idea ef

forts.-the siugle thought of his soul. A
marvelous horseman, absolutely indis

the men had surnamcd him "The Jockey,'"
a name that was onco his ambition and
pride. Tho tuaiutenanco of bis stable,
however, had cost him his patrimony. IIo

him. At last, at bay one day. mad with

Tho phrase of the colonel returned to

tears rolled from his eyes, and like a child
who, feeble and without, support, ha3 need

was seized with an Infinite gratitude, an

had accorded him twenty-four hours of

salvation in permitting him to evade a

ipgular maneuvers. Jlen and horses were

closed the sash aud re entered his chamber.

Captain Randon advanced at a slow step.

of tho cigarette mounting lightly lu llltlo

the windows of the houses to surprise a
pair of eyes that contemplated a hand that
drew aside a curtain, and ho was happy at
tho little effect produced hy his passage.
Impelled by force of habit, ho had taken
tho toad to the quarters. Ho perceived it
presently and smiled contemptuously;
nevertheless continued his route. Ho de
sired to see for tho last thuo tho beings and
tilings familiar to him. He saluled with
the tlps.ot Ins fingers the sentry who pre
sented arms, gave an amicable good day to
the sous ofUccr - on guard, a man of bis
own squadron, made the tour of tho bar
racks without dismounting, threw a glance
at the stables, directed the officer of the
day lo remit some punishments that had
been Inflicted the evening before, passed to
the gate, leaped it nnd turned aud swept
the buildings with a gaze of adieu.
Only then did his heart sink, and, fear
ing the troublo that Invaded him, he put
his tnaro to the trot, seeking to fly his
weakness. He had resumed the way to
tho foro t; beforo lone ho was In the
, woods. Ri ys of sunlight filtered through
out Iho leaves, designing the shadows of
the brandies upon the brownish earth.
Drops of the night's rain still pearled upon
tho grasses.
Captain Itandon brought his horse to a
walk, "There Is plenty of time," he said,
and allowed himself to co dreaming Idly,
soothed by the freshness of tho morning
breeze.
In the meantime he had passed into a
wide, sandy alley "the training alley," as
he lemembercd, of tho barracks; lie had
traveled two kilometers at a jump. He
dropped the reins upon Ninche's neck, and
iho head and shoulders of the maro bal
anced to tha left with tho regularity of a
pendulum. Randon was absolutely con
tentcontent with tho pride of a resolution
well and firmly taken. He was happy even
to find himself calm and proud of his
brayery.
At the end of the alloy ho traversed a
wide clearing, and a hundred meters fur
ther stopped. Rehind a tail hedge near
by, a stone's throw from the highway, not
more, tho lino of the railway ran; the de
scent that led to It was perpendicular and
covered with pebbles and jagged points of
stone. Pale as a corpse, Randou observed
it, a strange emotion holding lilm, Ills legs
weakening beneath him. Ho made a half
turn, threw his animal upon bcr haunches
and advanced again, but at a walkl There
was plenty of time.
Nhichc was afraid of a tree that had
fallen across her route.and plunged violent
ly. A little more and Randon had been
dismounted. It was a painful surprise to
him,
"Chut!" ho cried, "what Is the matter
with me? Can I rldo no more?" And,
afraid ofehigrald, hetiffcnedhlmself

less to calm his animal, perhaps, than to
reassure himself.
"Gently, Mamie, .gently; no precipe

have tho gallop by and by."
Again ho stopped and made a half tin n ;
again hesitated; for tha desire to wheel,
the desire to fly and return no more had
como upon lilm strongly; but only for an
Instant. Then quickly unwilling to allow
himself a moment to regret be rose In his
etirrups, bent his body forward, nnd the
raco began.
Tho wind cut his checks, tears wet his
ovfilashes, but sti'.l he went with dizzying
rapidity, tho Trunks of the trees passing
blm like specters. Nothing was clear or
distinct nothing but a vague, confused
Impression that it was his life thus flying
from him in fragments.
Rut Still he wont, and now It was the
nolsu of a horso that he believed he heard
pursuing him. no turned in tho taddlo
nothing Iho noise was nothing but the
noise of the pebbles that Ninche's Hying
feet cast behind her. Hut this idea that a
horse pursued htm pleased his fancy, set it
going, nnd immediately ho Imagined him

grand round. He hurried the pace of his
mount.
Tho circuit of the clearing had twice
been pasted; the gait was frightful, but the
hedge was before him; behind the hedge
he divined it without seeing It the precl
Dice, with its jagged, rooky sides. Then
ho felt himself at the end of his breath
the air lie swallowed came from bis pant

In the twinkling of an eje he had a
vision, a dim realization of that which was
to be his death a fall Into space, a com'

The native who gayo the dinner did not
sit at the table with his English guests.
They dined by themselves, and only saw
him after the dinner was over. Tho table
was spread with the foreign guest's own
lineu, plate and china, and they were waited
on by their own servants, who had cooked
the dinner.
The explanation Is that his caste would
not permit him to cat with his guests, and
the servant's caste forbade their cookine
for them, ne had no table furniture such
as English guests require, and if he had
possessed any, ho could never have pro
duced It after they "polluted" it.
,iTO LIVK TIIK LIFE OF A MAN.
It'has been well said that the vital prin
ciple grows weak when isolated. The man
whd cares for nobody and for whom no
body cares has nothing to live for that will
pay for the trouble of keeping soul and
body together. Yon must have a heap of
embers to make 'a glowing fire. Scatter
them apart, aud.they become dim and cold.
So to have" a brisk, vigorous llfo you must
havo a group of lives to keep each other
warm, as It wero to afford each other mu
tual enconragerant and confidence and
support. If yon wish to live the life of a
