One day in January, while twenty or thirty
tassigeRtlemen were standing on the front
balcony Of the hotel, an individual rode up
she path on the thinnest horse mortal eyes
ever looked upon. Leaping from his phan-
tom stesd, the equestrian said, turning to the
hostler-- .'..es'..

''Sir 2" said John, with look OF astonish

"Your horse CALCULATED John, with more
surprias.-
i "Yes. you fool, my horse |" said the stran.
ger, looking savagely at him and commenced
drawing the lash of his whip through his
iand.
John walked toward him as though he
would demand an explanation and had ta-
ksn about six steps when he suddenly stop

%"Bless my soul," said he, II ask your par

The owner Of the spectral beast tried to
srown, but roar from the balcony made him
