If THE TRANSGRESSION OF PHILIP "1
By MRS. EDWARDS PAINB.
"Well!" Bald Natalie Bridewell, as
be stood before ber pier-glass, put
ting the finishing touches to her ev
ening toilet, "If I bad bad the faintest
Idea that Phil Marston could have act
ed like that, I should have never wasted
the time on hint I have. But then,"
he continued, stepping away from the
glass to get & fuller view of herself, "I
loved Phil at least, I thought I did."
Natalie was going to ft "swell re
ception" given by the Apollo club In
honor of its new members. After the
last remark ber bosom heaved ft sigh,
which set ft fluttering of butterfly
bows, perched airily upon her saucy
puffs and curls, threatening at the least
provocation to take wings and fly
way.
Natalie was charming. No observer
would have had the audacity to doubt
that, as, with the soft clinging folds
of her evening gown outlining her
graceful figure, she viewed herself be
fore the mirror. But It any one had
ventured to call her beautiful, she
would have resented It; for, she bad
a grievence sadly at variance with her
Idea of feminine beauty; namely, a
nose strongly inclined to tilt. How
ever, she possessed other charms, not
unknown to herself, which lay in the
glossy waves of ber auburn hair, the
lustre of her nut-brown eyes, and the
baby-tint of her peach-blossom com
plexion. Besides these, she was an
acknowledged belle In society, and ft
capital entertainer as well, and when
taking all these things into considera
tion, It was not surprising that the
Apollo club, the fashionable club of
the city, should select her from a bevy
of young ladles to head the long line
of Its reception committee.
While Natalie was adjusting her but
terfly bow to a little securer position,
he said
"I know he'll be there tonight. If
he Is, what then? I almost wish I
hadn't accepted such a prominent posi
tion. But then, those boys just would
n't take no for an answer. And I
well, 1 Just didn't have the heart to
refuse them, especially after I have
been away so long." And then, giving
the defenseless bow another nervous
twitch, she added, "I guess I don't
have to talk to. him If I don't want
to!
"It's Just a year ago tonight," she
continued, "that Alfred Tbornbill, with
other new members, was introduced
to the Apollo club society. Why Phil
should have gotten so furiously Jeal
ous I can't imagine. The fact of the
business Is I had never thought of
Phil In that light before. If any one
had told me be was that kind of a
man, I think I should have told him
he lied.
"But why should he have forced
me Into such ft position if he didn't
expect me to be courteous? Alfred
Thornhlll would command courtesy
under all circumstances. But Phil
seemed to object to him particularly
because he was made a member while
he was gone. As . If that made any
difference. Suppose he don't live in
the East End and belong to 'our set.'
Does Oat make him any less a man?
I think It horrid to admit him to the
club and then snub him socially." And
Natalie's tilted nose rose a degree or
so in Indignation.
Thus Natalie rambled on, and in
wardly fretted, while she paced the
floor, waiting for the carriage to come
to take her to the reception.
On the night referred to, Natalie
had defended her position on the sub
ject of class prejudice which certain
would-be reformers had managed to
tir up In the community.
At that annual function of the Apol
lo club, many sympathized with Phil
Marston in his pronounced opinion on
the subject, and Natalie was not slow
In recognizing bis Influence thus
brought to bear upon the attentions
due to Alfred Thornhlll. ThU aroused
her womanly Instinct In his defense,
and she manifested it by taking the
Initiative and bestowing upon him all
the attention ber position would allow.
Xn fact, she overdid the matter, and
went so far as to provoke criticism,
when one of the chaperonea of the ev
ening. In all kindness, undertook to
Admonish her, when Natalie "flew up"
fend said -
"I won't be dictated to by anybody!
I am responsible for my own acts. If,
s yon say, 'our set' won't tolerate it,
why, so be it. I don't care. Under
the circumstances I'm only doing what
, I believe to be right If the club didn't
' want me to treat everybody alike why
did they put me on the reception com
mittee?" --.'. .
So, Natalie carried the matter
through- the evening with a master
hand, and on her return home she
felt herself as highly a conqueror as
any monarch who ever sat on a throne.
But when it was all over, Phil Mars
ton, ft young man of social attain
ments and financial worth, and
Natalie's acknowledged lover, was to
be reckoned with. He was bound to
hftve his say. Of course, the long and
short of it was, Phil was furiously
Jealous. No sooner were they seated
In the carriage than be began
"Natalie, you acted outrageously to
night!" "I'd like to know how you make that
out?" she indifferently replied.
"I gave you credit for being ft girl
Of better sense."
"Sense has nothing to do about It,"
be retorted. "It's all ft matter of
breeding. What reason have given you
to change your mind?" -,. .
"Reason enough!" said Phil, exasper
ated at ber coolness. "Do you sup
pose I'm going to tolerate ft fellow like
Al Thornhlll danqiug attendance the
wbflle evening long on ft girl I'm en-
gaged to? If you do, you're mightily
mistaken!"
"If Mr. Thornhlll's good enough to
be admitted to the Apollo club, he's
good enough to dance attendance on
the girl you are engaged to, or any
body else."
"That's where we differ," replied
Phil, sarcastically.
"Then why in the name of wonders
did you allow him to enter the club
at all?"
"I didn't," exclaimed Phil. "1 didn't
have a thing to do about it. I waa
away, and you know it. If I'd been
there when his name was proposed I'd
have back-balled htm sure's guns."
"Doubtless you would," replied
Natalie, with ft strong emphasis on
the personal pronoun. "But, It's my
opinion the Apollo club would be ft
heap better off If it had more men In
It like Alfred Thornhlll."
"What do you know about Al Thorn
hlll or the men of the Apollo club?"
Phil asked with rising fury.
"I know enough," replied Natalie,
her Indignation rising at the blasphem
ous words, " and what I don't know
I don't want anybody to tell me. But
I can tell you, Phil Marston, Judging
from some shady reports and the ex
periences I am now having with one
of them, if I bad to chose ft man, for
genuine, personal worth from the
membership of the Apollo club, I'd
take Alfred Thornhlll every time."
"Take him then!" exclaimed Phil, In
a Jealous rage, "I don't care."
"Thank you," said Natalie, Ironical
ly "you've conferred upon me a great
privilege."
"Marry him if you want to," said
Phil, raging beyond the bounds of
reason. "It's all the same to me."
"Thank you," again replied Nathalie.
"Perhaps I may. Time will tell. But
It's my opinion Mr. Thornhlll is a man
of too much character to ask a girl In
my position to marry him. He's too
proud, and that's why I like him."
This assertion of Nathalie's brought
out a new phase of the situation, and
provoked Phil to silence for the re
mainder of the way home.
All those Incidents were in Natalie's
mind while sho was restlessly pacing
the floor of her own room, creating
a sense of unhapplness which she
found hard to manage.
For the past year she had neither
seen nor heard from Phil. In her heart
she had believed she possessed a
stronger hold upon him. But the fault
was not his. She had yet to learn
that when he went to bis room that
r.lght, he bitterly repented of what he
had done. In the light of his con
science he saw that Natalie was right,
that he had no reason for forcing her
into a position whereby she could not
be Just to herself. He saw his own
folly, and finally became disgusted
with himself for the ruthless attack
he had made upon the girl he loved.
The next morning he went to call
upon her to ask her forgiveness. She
had gone! An early train had carried
her to New York, where he knew she
expected to go through the day. There
she was to remain a few days, then
nail for Germany to study for at least
,a year in Berlin.
All through that year the words of
that bitter quarrel had rung through
Phil's ears. Imagination tortured him
Into thinking what a worthless fellow
Natalie believed him to be. When he
realized the possibility of what ho had
said to her proving true, his feelings
would alternate between beat and cold,
love and hate. One moment he would
love her to distraction and would de
clare he could not live another moment
without her; the next, when be
thought of her attitude towards Al
fred Thornhlll, he would bate her with
all the intensity of his soul for the
misery she was causing him.
After awhfle, however, he settled
down Into ft grim state of endurance.
He determined to master the jealous
passion that threatened his life to try
to undo hismad act, and make himself
worthy of the good opinion and affec
tions of Natalie.
In a tone of resentment he yielded
to his last bitter feeling and said
"I'll show her there's something
good left In Phil Marston yet."
In view of all this, it was no more
than natural that Natalie should look
forward to the evening with feelings
of dread. And not only In regard to
Phil, for she also dreaded to meet
Alfred Thornhlll, whom she had not
seen, either, since a year ago that very
night. After awhile a feeling of defi
ance took possession of ber and she
said aloud
"I don't know but it would be serv
ing Phil right to marry Mr. Thornhlll,
after all."
But Natalie was proud. Under the
circumstances, she didn't want to own
even to herself that she had a particle
of love left for Phil. She bad a con
science, too, which forbade ber tamp
ering with the sacredness of human
affections. So, between the two, she
felt an equal balance. She could neith
er get away from Phil's love, nor im
pose upon an innocent party for the
sake of punishment.
On this evening she had rejected all
escorts and chaperones, choosing rath
er to be driven to the reception In her
father's carriage, that she might re
turn at ber pleasure.
When Philip Marston passed the
ordeal of the reception line, Natalie
set the temperament of the evening
with the tips of ber Icy Angers and
sera nod, which lowered the mercury
in Phil's heart several degrees below
the freezing point. During the even
ing be tried by all manner of means
to get a few moments alone with ber,
tut a evaded at every point His
name failed to appear on ber danot
program, and It waa only In the waits
circle that tbey finally met, when
stillness crept Into Natalie's heart sh
dare not Interpret, while Phil's palpit
ated with speechless Joy.
At last, disheartened with the
meagre results of the evening, Phil
decided to give up the chase and go
borne.
A load was on his heart as be slow
ly, and distractedly ascended the long
winding stairs to the bat-room.
"She doesn't love me," he thought,
and, all unconsciously wandered aim
lessly Into the ladles' cloak room, and
to his amazement came face to face
with the subject of his thoughts.
"How dare you follow me here?" ex
claimed Natalie, her eyes flaming with
anger.
But Phil, bumbled with his year's
experience, and the false position he
had accidentally thrust upon himself,
said
"I didn't follow you. It Is all a
mistake. But, now that I am here, I
shall stay, at least long enough to
compel you to bear what I have to say.
"Natalie," he continued tenderly,
taking a step toward her, "I have
tried this whole evening to have
word with you. You have purposely
avoided me. Now I must know, I will
know before I leave this room it there
Is any hope left for me?"
Whether from anger, or the deep
sincerity which rang in Phil's voice,
she never knew, she was speechless,
and he, encouraged by her silence,
continued
"I have not forgotten the manner
in which I attacked you ft year ago
tonight. But I am sorry, for it, and
have wanted to tell you ever since.
But you did not give me the opportun
ity, you left so early in the morning.
Then I wrote to you, and you re
turned my letter unopened. Perhaps I
deserved It, Natalie, but I have suffer
ed more than I can tell."
"How about Mr. Thornhlll?" asked
Natalie, with cold security In her
voice.
Phil winced, but said
"I appologized to him long ego. He
Is a worthy fellow. But Natalie," he
continued, "is it possible you have
taken the course you have with me
simply because I objected to bis hav
ing been made a member of the Apollo
club?"
"No!" replied Natalie, "that was
small matter, compared to tae dis
covery I made. You Insulted me with
your jealousy. I made up my mind,
then and there, I'd never marry any
man to have my life perverted by bis
distorted imagination. Because you
didn't like Mr. Thornhlll was that any
reason why I should Insult blm? You
placed me in a position where I had
to be courteous to everybody. If your
love wouldn't hold through that, I
dldn-'t consider it worthy to be called
by that name."
"What you say Is true, Natalie. And
I am not trying to defend myself.
But, now that I am here, I want to
make an honest and open confession
to you. You will be content with noth
ing less.
"It wasn't because Thornhlll was
mnde a member of the club. It was
because I saw you awakening In his
heart a feeling stronger than that of
admiration. I knew all the time that
he was a worthy fellow, and Imagined
you were comparing us and thought
so, too. This aroused my jealousy.
The rest you already know. But Na
talie," he said, taking a step nearer to
her, "Is it not my first offence? It
was a phase of character as new to mo
as to you. I hate it mose than you
possibly can. For, by. shaking your
confidence in me, it has destroyed my
happiness. I determined while you
were away I would overcome it And
such a course of training I have put
myself through I know you are bound
to respect If this were not so, do
you think I could make this humble
confession that I do?"
Natalie was silent. Encouraged by
this toleration, Phil continued, bis
voice trembling with emotion
"Through It all, Natalie, I have loved
you, and shall continue to love you as
long as I live. The hope of being re
installed In your confidence and love
is the guidance of my life. Natalie,
it seems years ages since we quar
reled. Tonight it seems as It I could
not live another moment without you.
Still Natalie did not speak. Then
Phil fame closer, and holding out both
bands said
"Natalie, darling, can you not for
give me?"
Gradually Natalie's assumed dignity
began to subside. As Phil proceeded
she bent ber bead low, and still lower,
Her eyes seemed closed under the
drcop of the long lashes. Phil guessed
her thoughts. He sprang to her side.
She gave a quick start and her butter
fly bow, fluttered to the floor. Both
stooped to pick it up. Natalie's band
clutched It first, then Phil's strong
palm closed firmly over it
Hurried footsteps and merry voices
began ascending the stairs. The mu
sic had ceased. The reception was
over. Natalie realizing the scarcitr
of time left ber In which to reply to
Phil's question, raised ber blushing
face, and looking ber lover In the
eyes, solemnly, yet fervently said
"Yes, Phil, I will." Waverley Magi-

When I first took up horseback r'd'
lng, some years ago, says a writer in
Couutry Life In America, I rememfter
that one of the first things that im
pressed me was the number of practic

riders. The inference seemed to be
that drugs were good enough for their
patients, but when it camo to doctor
ing themselves tbey were firm believ
