THE SILKEN REIN.
THE SILKEN REIN. I By NAT GOULD, Author of "The Double Event," "Settling Day," "In Royal Colours, &c., &c. I The true way a horse should be held fast in his running." This should be done as if you had a silken rein as fine as a. hair, and that you were afraid of breaking it."—SAM CHIFNEY. I CHAPTER I. His Deformity. "Humpy! Humpy! Humpty Dumpty had a great fall." How thoughtlessly cruel lads are. "Humpy. Humpy." "Look at him. What's he fit for." A crowd of boys came bounding out of the village school. Apart from the rest stood a very small lad, whose hamped-backed defor- mity caused the jeering shouts of some of his schoolfellows. Tears welled up into the little fellow's eyes, but he bore the pain, manfully, although the crftel words hurt him. "Shut up, you beastly cowards," came in ringing tones from a fine, well-built youth, as he cantered on a smart cob. I The shouting. jeering lads slunk away l ashamed, and the newcomer, riding up to the object of their derision, said, as he dis- mounted "Never mind them, Willie, they are brutes. You are worth a dozen of them. You have more in that old-fashioned head of yours than could be crammed into the whole of their I bodies." "I'm no good in the world, Master Eddie. I I shall never be able to work. It's a cruel shame, and father is so good to me; 'he denies I 'himself of heaps of pleasures so that he can pay doctors, and schooling, and buy books I and so on." "Yee, you are some good-a lot of good—and your father thinks you are the bravest lad in the world. So do I, Willie. You are brave, very brave, and, by the bye, you'll make a name for yourself." Willie Newhouse smiled, and as his face brightened, Eddie St. Ann thought what a handsome lad he would be if it was not for his deformity. Their positions in life were very different, as wide apart ue the poles, but the lads had been friends from their earliest years. Eddie St. Ann was the son of Richard St. Ann, of Glademere Hall, and his father owned the whole of the picturesque village of Glade- mere, and the land for several miles around. He was regarded as the wealthiest man in the county, and his riches were believed to be untold. Willie Newhouse was the son of Jack New- house, the head gamekeeper at Glademere- hall, and, although he was deformed and small in stature, and could not play games as other boys did, he was a prime favourite with Master Eddie, and was often taken up to the Hall and made much of. Richard St. Ann was a cold and somewhat austere man, and the loss of his wife, to whom he w«i deeply attached, had cast a gloom over his life he tried in vain to dispel. Much of his time was spent amongst bis books, and the Hall boasted a fine library. Eddie St. Ann was allowed to live his life according to his inclinations. He had a tutor; in fact, several tutors had been tried before the right man was found to control him; this was Francis Wrexham, a scholar and a gentleman, and calculated to exercise a beneficial influence over hit wayward charge. The interview between Richard St. Ann and Francis Wrexham proved satisfactory to the former, who admired in others qualities lacking in himself. The two men were oppo- sites in nearly all their pursuits, except the love of books; but, whereas the owner of Glademere was seldom attracted by outdoor sports, the tutor revelled in them. In this he resembled his pupil, who was never happier than when careering about the lovely country surrounding his home. Francis Wrexham wae engaged at a liberal salary, and Richard St. Ann gave him entire control of his son. At first the evident warmth of the friend- ship existing between Willie Newhouse and Eddie St. Ann struck him as incongruous, and he debated whether it ought not to be stopped. He was, however, a man who con- sidered well before taking action or maJring a decided move. He watched the two lads, and came to the conclusion that nothing but good to his charge would result from the intercourse. He recognised that Eddie's sympathy for this deformed lad, so far beneath him in position, was a good trait in his character that ought to be developed. It gave him an insight into the nature of his pupil which stood him in excellent stead. As for Eichard St. Ann. he was amused at hie boy's partiality for the son of his game- keeper. He did not understand the finer feelings which had first aroused Eddie's sym- pathies for the lad, who lacked almost every- thing he possessed. On one occasion Master EddM had stood up manfully for his little friend, and ad- ministered such a severe thrashing to one of the bullies of tie Tillage sdhool that his name had become a terror to evil-doers, and a shelter beneath which Willie Newhoom was safe from harm. When Francis Wrexham heard of this encounter, from the bully's father, he smiled quietly, and. in reply to a violent outburst about "The Sqmre's son taking a mean adrantne of his position," xMd: "There was nothing mean about it. Tear son was in fawt, and deserved all he got- and more." "Oh. that's ytrnx opinion, is it? Perhaps yomrd like to back it up with your fists?" "If you wish it," was the caJm rejoinder, which had the usual effect upon such men. Between Eddie St. Ann and his tutor a wteon friendship existed, and the boy hid nothing from him. j "Recollect one thing," Mr. Wrexham had said to him, "always be open and straight- forward with me. It is my duty to oorreot you when you do wrong, but do not let that deter you from telling me the truth." It was a great relief to Mr. St. Ann that his eon had such a tutor. "I cannot understand why our tastes are so different," said his father. "You do not care at all for books; I love them." I am putting together quite a fine library." replied Eddie, laughing. "You will be our- prised to hear the bulk of my pocket money is expended on literature." I Hie father looked up incredulously from the book he was reading, and replied: "And where may this wonderful ooHeotian be?" "In my room," replied Eddie. "Ooaae and see them," he added, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. His father followed Mm, and Eddie opened the door of has den. This was a room sacred to the young master, and it contained a mis- cellaneous collection that would have delighted the heart of a sporting bachelor. Mr. St. Ann seldom entered it, but on this occasion he ]coked around with considerable cariosity and some interest. Even his stern features relaxed as be saw the litt<er aboot—fishing mde. smm n?Bntf tth?p? dw duans apd cona=6 bord:Dc e?a?e? ? Mai?o? aptuany <? expanders, Indian clu-be and dumb-bells, how many pairs of boots he did not stop to count. Two fox terriers and an Irish terrier growled at him as an intruder. "There are the books," said Eddie, pointing to several open shelves. His father went across the room, steplying warily, to avoid things, and took out a volume. He put it down with a sigh, and selected another. He examined the bulk of the volume, and then, turning to his son. said: "I suppose these are books, but they are certainly not literature. They all have a tendency towards sport. I verily believe, Eddie, you will some- day take to racing- what a calamity that would be! "Should you prohibit it. father?" The question was asked anxiously, but Mr. St. Ann failed to notice the tone. No. I cannot say that, if your heart was set upon it. but it's a pity, Eddie, a great pity. You ought to go in for politics, and make a name for yourself. I have some in- fluence," he replibd. And cannot I combine the two?" asked his son. It is possible. Many men do it, but to my mind the two things do not harmonise." "What do you think of my den?" asked Eddie. Mr. St. Ann shrugged his shoulders, as he replied: "It has a healthy look about it; you seem to take plenty of exercise, and that must be good for young people." And for their elders, too," thought Eddie, but refrained from answering. When his father left the room, Eddie put the books back on the shelves. He had pur- chased a couple of hundred volumes from an old sportsman in the neighbourhood, and had been much interested in them. Some of the works were old and scarce, others modern, but all were connected with various sports, mostly about horses and racing. Already his inclinations were tending towards racing as a pastime, although he had only I been to one or two country meetings with his tutor. Francis Wrexham saw no harm in it, as Mr. St. Ann raised no objections; I in fact, he enjoyed the fun almost as much as Eddie. On one occasion Willie Newhouse, accompanied them, and the lad had never forgotten the treat. He talked about it for weeks after, until his father, who was seldom impatient with him, said he had heard enough about it, and wished he would change the sub- ject. This is, briefly, how matters stood between Willie and Master Eddie when the scene occurred outside the Tillage school. Eddie St. Ann did not remount his cob, but walked alongside his small companion, with the bridle slung over his arm. Woald yon like a. ride?" ke aaked.. Bobs is very quiet, and it is Niy saddle." Willie looked up at the vacant wettt with longing eyes, and said:- "I might fan off; besides, I look such a fright on a pony." Not a bit of it," said Eddie Of Up ,.em pt." He stooped down, and lifted the lad bodily into the saddle, Bobs behaving quite respect- ably. "There," said Eddie. "Yon look be up there, I always tell you that the back of & horse is the best place for yon." "I'm fond of riding," said Wilrie, "but I hate being made fan of." Let me catch anyone making fan of yon," said Eddie. They will not do it a second time." They passed through the village, and, as Eddie led the cob across the green, many curious eyea followed them, and Willie on Bobs was envied by all the lads in the place. Glademere was a picturesque, old-world village. The cottages were many of them thatched, and had small, diamond-paned win- dows. Modem kouses had been erected by Mr.' St. Ann from time to time. but he had not interfered with the older portion of the vil- lage. Magnificent oak trees studded the sides of the green, and at the far end of the village was a large pond. There was one inn, the Glademere Arms, kept by Ben Herries, who had been there for many years. There was an air of comfort about the cottages. The gar- dens were well kept. and filled with a pro- fusion of old-fashioned flowers, whose per- fume was fragrantly wafted on the pare country air. The porches were covered with climbing creepers and roses, while the neat paths were lined with box hedges. All round the village large trees towered high into the air, and afforded a pleasant shade. At the far end stood the lodge and the hall gactes. w, wide drive up a. splendid &"mile of chestnuts leading to Glademere. Near here was the head gamekeeper's cottage, a rustic, comfortable home, with a good garden in front, and a paddock in the rear. « Peggy Newhouse lived with her brother, and kept home for him, and Willie was her espeoial oars. She was muoh younger than her brother, and a fine, buxom. comely woman, who could have had numerous sweethearts had she wished for them. She had her preferences, but as yet had not singled out any special inmin "on whom she oottld lavish ber affections. To her brother and little Willie she was devoted, and Jack Newhottse's oottago was the cleanest and neatest in the village. Master Eddie was a prima favonrrbe with Peggy, and his liking for Willie completely won her heart. She was standing at the door ae they came across the green, and her eyes gleamed with pride when she saw Willie on the young master's cob. She looked up and down the village to see if the neighbours noticed this pleasing sight, and it gratified her when she saw several heads bobbing out of the windows and doom, and all turned in the same direc- tion. "I have given Willie a ride home from sohool," said Eddie, "and I can tell you, Peggy, he'll make a good horseman some day." "It's very kind of you. Master Eddie," she said, with a custsey, and I'm proud of the notice you take of him, and all of us." Now, drop that, Peggy You know I don't like it," he replied. "Willie and I are the beet of friends, and I am quite as proud of him aa he is of me. Where's Jack ? Out in the meadows; he'll not be back for two o 'three hours, I expect," she Replied. Then I'll let Willie ride up to the Hall, if you have no objections," said Eddie. It's too kind of you. I'm afraid your father will not like it." If you talk in that strain Til never ask him up again," said Eddie. "Let me go. I should like to go," said Willie. Bobs is such a good fellow," he added, patting the cob's sleek neck. Of oourse, Peggy consented. She was mightly pleased to do so, more especially as the bulk of the village gossips would see them go through the Han gJtfces. "T will not keep hhn loM." said Bddie, as they moved off; "and WIEiama man drive him back in the pony carriage. Tell Jack want to 'see him about some rabbiting to morrow; we are going to make a day of it, and Willie is to come with us." CHAPTER II. An Old Jockey's Advice. On their arrival at the Hall a groom took Bobs in charge, and the lads went to Eddie's den. They had spent many hours together in this room, and to Willie Newhouse it was a veritable paradise, a storehouse of wonder- ful things, and on each succeeding visit ne found new treasures. The housekeeper at Glademere was fond of Willie, and invariably had something nice sent into the room for him toregale himself with. She had seen them enter the house, and in a very short time calces and pasties and a jug of fresh milk were brought in by one of the maids. Dennis always looks after you well," said Eddie, adding, with a laugh: I believe she has designs on your father. You will have to warn him." "He'll take oare of himself," replied Willie, as he helped himself to the tempting morsels before him. "I have bought a litt of new books sines iyou were here," said Eddie. You must look them over. I want to see Fred about one of the horses; he went a trifle lame yester- day." Left alone, the lad finished his repast and went to the bookshelves. He was not tall enough to reach higher than the second shelf, so he got a chair and stood upon it. Several of the books attracted him, and he wished his father could see all the pictures of birds and animals which interested him so much. A curious, old-fashioned book, more of a pamphlet, attracted his notice. Carefully he took it down and read the title, "Genius Genuine," by 6am Chifney. Who waa Sam Chifney? he wondered, and what sort of a, 'book was this old-tdme, worn little volume. with the curious title. His curiosity was aroused, and, slipping from the chair, he took dt to the window, the better to read and examine the contents. Jack, the Irish terrier, was ooiled up in the easy chair, but he knew Willie, and made ro,olit.io,r him; it was a capacious chair, com- fortable and inviting, not merely easy in name. The lad, young as he was, soon became interested, as he read of the doings of Escape, and the jockey's defence of his riding. Then he became fascinated by Chifney's description of how a horse ought to be ridden in a race. He had (heard of Newmarket from his father. who was bom near there, and had occupied a position of under keeper ait Dullingham. He read half aloud to himself as follows, "The phrase at Newmarket is, that you should poll your home to ease him in his panning. When horses are at their greatest distress in their running, they cannot bear that visible manner of palling as looked for by many of the sports- men; he should be entioed^to ease hifwuaftW an inch at a time, as his satojation will allow. This should be done as if you had a silken rein as fine as & hair, and that yoa were afraid of breaking it.

His faoe suddenly lighted lOP. and there was a gleam of hope quickly inspired in his eyes. "I wondter if I could ride in races. I am very small and very light." Then the cloud came again, as he thought: "But no one would trust such; bosses to a cripple, a hunchback. Hrampy, Humpy, they called after me, and that is what I should always hear if I attempted to do anything. I must plod along here, good for nothing, use- less, deformed. It tis hard, so hard." The door opened, and Eddie came in. "Sera JMTmwmg yomvelf?- be aafced. "At the <boote» again. I never saw socb a lad tor reading. What have you got here? Oh, it's "Oenuia Genuine."

"With pteasnre." laughed Eddie, "but JOB had better take one a, trifle more mwtiwlaia, I should say it was a iumdred yeamoid." "listen to this," said Wittas, as he read tins extract qpoted *bows. "That rounds sensible," said Eddie, with a boyish ear of authority. "I have seen riders pull their horses about and lose races in con- sequence. I believe there is something in it. A silken rein sounds good, and when a hone is doing his best it cannot help him to pail at the lxt. I wonder same of the ridezs- da not try it."

"They would not laugh if yon rode well, aDd won raoes. "It would be grand fun," exclaimed Willie. The boya were enthusiastic, as boys will be, over their scheme, and talked and planned aa to what they would do in the fixture, until the pony trap was announced ae ready. "YOIl have set me thinking," said Eddie. "Ta,ke the book home and read it, and then I will do the same. I like the idea of a silken rein, it sounds delicate and thorough- bred, quite nice for a. racehorse." Willie arrived at his father's cottage in state, and Peggy was waiting to receive him. In order to have the Hall trap outside the gate aa long as possible, ehe tempted the groom with a glass of ale, and Jack Newhouse'a ale was known to be good. The man was nothing loath to have a talk with her, and they carried on a mild flirtation, until a. hearty voice from somewhere inside the cot- tage called. "If yon keep bom there mwch longer they'll be sending down from the Hall to see if he's driven into the pond." "I'm coming, Jack," she replied, laughing, and the groom, with a final squeeze of her hand, drove away. Jack Newhouse was a. big, powerful man. not much over thirty, and well fitted for the post he occupied at Glademere. He was an ideal head gamekeeper, and the poachers in the neighbourhood both feared and respected him, although he was not unduly hard upon them. One notorious character he won golden opinions from, for the man, who was sent to gaol for three months, when he came or heard that it was Jade Newhouse who kept his wife and bairns from going or parish.
