Story OF A WASHINGTON Billie
The New York World tells the following
story Of Madame Potesdad, a noted horse
woman and belle of the National Capital:
"On one occasion. it is said. when stay
ing at the Warm Springs, in Virginia, she
started out with riding party for the
Warm Spring Mountain, and dared the
gentlemen accompanying her to do what
ever she did. This mountain is quite high
and has at its summit roc!; jutting out
over precipice. To the extreme verge
Of this rock Miss Randolph rode. to the
great cU1sternation Of her friends. She
did DOT even leave her horse room to turn
round, but, having accomplished her pur-
pose, she backed him from the dangerous
position and faced the rest Of the party in
triumph. Not man dared to follow her
example, but one youthful piece Of inexpc-
rience stood ON his head in his saddle, and
dared the lady to do that. Ofcourse sho
cried "quit." z
