whipped out his wallet, but hesitated i'm

any money Mr. Jacobs had nothing To
do with Mr.. Stills behavior on this occa-
sion, and does not hesitate TO express him
self ON the subject. In his opinion the
kansan behaved IN i very foolish manner.
Still is doubtless wrapped up in his daugh-
ter, which Is is natural and perfectly right
that he should be. But M the same time
the people of this community have right
TO their opinion OF Miss Cricket's abil- !
tiles as an equestrienue, and especially :

II is conceded that Cricket has the best
horses, but the friends of Miss Archer are
banking on their belief that Miss Still I
cannot ride .wcnty miles on account of
her lack of physical endurance. 10 Is
thought that a third attempt over our
course, which Is all that cOuli Be desired
for the purposes Of this race, will settle
the question rs to- Miss Stills staying
qualities Ii il also conceded that more
graceful rider thar the little Kansas lady,
probably never sat ON horse. I'm y ten
mile ride, with her present horses. she
could beat almost any female rider what
ever. Eut it Is also the opinion I'll the ma
jority OF our people, especially those who
have twice lost heavy SUMS of money cn
her. that these twenty mile rides. which
would severely tax the Cn.!Ur III Z Of strong
man. are too much for her. Tn that opiu-
ion the Sc,lalia folks depend for victory,
and Tor the restoration al their departed

Il training. Miss Archer has rather the
advantage, Tor the reason that she i natrI-
rally strong. and was raised in the open

poly knows But the rule holds Tor all
