A TEXAS HORSE TRADE.
TGalveston News. ]

A man By the name of Smith liv-
ing in Galveston. Texas, kepta livery
stable. Among other horses in
his custody was IL fine bay horse
belonging to Jones. This horse. in
cavorting about the stable yard, ran
against wagon and broke his leg.
OF course Smith was responsible
All he had to do was tn send for a
policeman, have the animal shot,
and pay Jones about $50, the value
of the animal. Smith notified the
policeman, and started out to see
Jones, and inform him officially
about the accident. Now Mr.. Smith
is considerable of n wag. Happen
ing to meet Brown, he asked if
Brown did not want to bny borse.
Brown wanted a cheap horse. and
one that was safe, SO that when
Smit1assut the question to him he
replied: MAY be SO; if You have
the right kind of a horse. Is he u
steady, quiet ,rse?"
He is the quietsst horse you ever
saw"
Wont bite or kick, and is not
likely to run awny?"
''If be bites, kicks, or runs away
I'll give your money back"

coldly polite, and did not give the
| slightest clue to their intentions, SO
the stricken wife and mother fully
expected To be punished for her
former naughty indifference.
The meeting soon took place.
Clad lii sable robes, the widow and
her children awaited their arrival.
Lady Constance was also dressed
in mourning. She came in leaning
on her husbands arm. She was
tall and to the full as stately rs the
proud woman who connted her
Il ncestors back to time before that
of the Norman conquerer. But the
wide dark eyes, and the tender,
smiling lips. showed in her a catho-
licity of spirit wanting in the other.
''Clariee, my sister" said the low,
musical voice, ''your sorrow is your
own. Let us comfort you and these
dear children by mingling onr tears
together. Stay with MS. Take
your choice of any suit departments
in the house. Your girls shall be
educated with my little ones, and it
only rests with your wishes to make
MS Il loving, united family; and wheR
my boy comes of age we will make
all arrangement to break the entail
by mutual consent. and your chill
dren shall have one-half their grand
mothers estate
Thus did Clarendon and his wife
retaliate for those years of neglect.
Their words and. acts of kindness
acted like tile mythical Goals of fire
They burned away the foolish old
time preiudices. and melted the pre-
riously eeld heart 80 that it over
flowed in tears which carried healing
with them.
In time Lady Clarice grew to love
the young heir almost as much as
though he had been her own. He
WAS but babe in arms when his
father entered upon his inheritance,
and was still to be christened. They
gave hlm the name of AlGerncn,
which had been borne both By his
uncle and cousin, and strange to
say, he resemhled his uncle far
more than he did his own father.
In time the plan for breaking
the entail was carried out, and Lady |
Clarice and her children received |
one-hak of the property.
1t would be impossible to find |
nobler boys than those OF Clarendon, |
Lord Vernon, or girls of more
patrician beauty than the fatleriess |
daughters of Lady Clarice: and add I
ed to ihcir other attractions are
the ornaments oft-a meek and lowly |
spirit which they have acquired by |
their love for, and constant ccmpan-
ionship with their Aunt Constance.
This thought give you all to keep:
Who sowetA good seed shall surely reap;
The year grows rich as it groweth old.
And life's latest sands are its sands OF |
gold"
SO, as Lady Constance sowed |
the seeds of forgiveness and for
bearance, she is now, reaping the
fruits of the pure and unallcyed
happiness arising from the worship |
ing affection of husband and
and of the helpless ones
who have been lifted out of depend
ence by her unselish influence.
