By GRACE KERRIGAN. They said of Bruce Charlton, son of the banker at Maysville, that he was & pompous cold-blooded young man. He had finished at college and been given a place in the bank. It was said of him that when & sewer blew up as he was walking along the street one day, and he was Mfted thirty feet high, that he descend- &Ven Yose his grip On his cane. “What a tyrant of a husband bhe'd be!” sald one young lady. “No wife would dare call him by his first name!” said another. “He'd demand that she address him as Mr. Bruce Charltor, Esq!” was the eriticism of the third. They said of Miss Ines Bartom, the daughter of a broker in the city, that she was too flighty; that she was too impetuous; that her quick temper would drive away all her lovers, and that she would in time find herself an old maid. None of the crities hit the nail on the head in either case. Mr. Chariton had passed a final examination, fallen into an extra fine position, and had been complimented on being a smart ed with proper dignity, and did not young man in ss-wml_dlrectlons.

In only one thing was he weak. After a month’s stay in London he came home to say “cawn’t,” and “don- cher knaw,” and “jolly well” and other things affected by the Johnnies um-sl the big water, He imagined it smacked of “foreign culchure,” and to clinch his case he brought back with him an English bulldog so homely that he; scared a mule into fits the first day he landed. That was all—just one weak spot and no one called him a cad on ac count of it. “Foreign culchure” is like whitewash on a fence—it begins to peel and flake after a few days. Every morning from eight until nine young Mr. Charlton mounted his steed ‘| and had a gallop. It was not an Eng lish .steed, but the rider affected the English pose in the saddle, and his bulldog followed at his heels and main- tained the proper expression of coun- tenance. . When Miss Inez Barton came down to “Meadow Green” to pass a month with a married sister she brought nothing English. She had her American pony and her American saddle and coach dog sent down to her. Every morning from eight untll nine she went for a gallop. Mr. Charlton rode towards “Green Meadows” in his gallops. Miss Inez rode towards Maysville in her gallops. It was inevitable as taxes that they must meet. They did meet, and on the very first morning that she rode out. She caught sight of the young man and mused to herself: “Why, 1 didn’t know that bean-peles rode horses out in the country!” As Mr. Charlton always looked straight ahead when he rode, he, of course, caught sight of the girl at an early moment. He also mused: “B'gawgae, but I can't make it omt, ye knaw!” It he had stopped and raised his cap and asked Miss Inez if she could tell him where the widow Jones lived it is probable that she would have smiled one of her winsome smiles and flirted a bit, but he passed her like a wooden man. Her dog wanted to say some- thing to his canine, but the bull growl- ed and never broke his pace. As both were returning homewards they passed again. 3 ' “He's a fool!” said the girl to ber-| self. | “l cawn't—] really cawn't!” sald thei young man to himself. “Say,” said the girl to her lm.sr.! after the latter had posted her as to! who ‘“bean-pole” was and his social standing, "1 feel that I've a sacred duty to perform out here.* “Yes?" | K “It's to take voung Mr. Charlton down about 14 pegs.” “But how can you?” way.” She didn’t have to plan 'til her head ached. Her coach dog did the plan- ning. The English bulldog had no- ticed him by a growl. miliation. He didn't want to be snubbed. either. He gave the matter due congideration that evening, and when he started out next morning he had something In view. i “Bean-pole” appeared. There was a poker down his back, and his eyes looked at the landscape a mfle abead. His bulldog appeared, and he was plastered all over with dignity, but her dog did. He walited 'til the other had passed by and then followed up and nipped him on the hind leg. You can't nip a bulldog and get away with it. This one turned and seised the coach dog and shook him as if he had been a rat, and then tossed him high in the air. Mtiss Inez uttered one scream and was off her pony and lash ing the bull with her whip. “Aw! Aw! B’ s It was Mr. Chariton. He had heard the row and returned. \ “Aw! Aw!” mimicked the girl as she looked up at him. “I take it that there was a confifet, doncher knaw?” “There was, doncher see!” “Bless me!” “B'jove!"” Mr. Charlton had forgotten to lift his cap. He now lifted it. He had for gotten to remove the monacle (rom his eye. He now removed it. He had for 2&0: to dismount. He now dismount- “l beg your pardon, 1 am suah,” he said after a moment of embarrassing silence. “It's grawnted, sir!” She led her horse Into the roadside ditch and mounted from the bank. He wanted to offer his assistance, but did ' not dare. He was a picture of confusion and foolishness as she tossed her head and rode away. He started to say “B'jove!” but changed it to: “Well, what do you think of that?” He was English no longer. He had become a full-blooded American fn | about ten minutes. If there was any doubt about it his talk with his dog after the girl's departure would have settled the matter. *“You fool of a dog, but you see what you have done!™ he shouted at the ea- aine who came fawning around to got & word of praise. “There was a mighty good-looking girl, and you had to [ and bite her dog and give her a chance to make a fool of me! You ought to have your head knocked off!” “Well, did you take anybody down & peg or two this morning?” asked the sister as Miss Inez reached her home after her ride. “A dozen pegs, sister. You Just ought to have been there! Monacle— saddle—eyes front—bulldog—b'jove— doncher knaw—beg pawdon—aw—aw! Ob, it was great!” » ) d what did you do . | “1 don't know yet, but I'll find n‘ .

When ready to ride away the girl sald to m: u"Yon are going to meet that bulldog | agaln this morning, and if you dm‘tj! lick him I'll sell you for a cent!” ! Young Mr. Charlton had been i miliated and felt it keenly, but down in' heart he admitted to himself that he had not only what he deserved. When a man will look at things in this light there is hope for him. It was at first decided not to go that road again until the girl had gone home. Then it was decided that if he did ride that way he would make an apology for his dog. Then the decislon was to leave the B “b’jove business behind him. As a mat- ter of fact, when Mr. Charlton did ride & out he was entirely undecided. 7 As for Miss Inez, she left it all to the B dog. There was a meeting again. The M coach dog was ready for it.
