Ho was the leading spirit of tho club, a wild, dashing, handsome young fellow, rich, gay, and just tho least bit too fond of his glass. “Have your laugh out, hoys,” ho „said, pleasantly; “but it all amounts to nothing.

Didn’t I tell you how it Wftuld turn out? I said Miss Tolbert would reform you. You are under petticoat government at last. You have lost your wager.” Tho young man smiled in his old, good-humored fashion, os these ex clamations, mingled with uproarious laughtor, assailed him. “Yes, boys, I have lost my wager,” lie said, “Eastlmm’s words -have come true! The woman I lovo has reformed mo; sho would not como over to mo, and I had to go ovor to her. And now, comrades,” he added, his fine eyes growing misty with ten der feeling, “how is it to be with us?
