AS he descended NH, the sight OF a
wood had almost induced him to dis
mount and seek its shelter afoot, when,
coming fast i'll the opposite direction, he
saw another mounted traveller.
Soon they We're abreast of each other,
and, at the instant, both reined in and
dismounted. Their mutual glance ex.
planned the uncomfortable problem.
The horses were almost precisely
alike is shape, color, size, etc, save that
one had but two white feet, the other
four.

claimed that individual. smiling and ex-
tending his hand. "No explanation is

added, delivering it. THAT, too, is

come, some of them. We will ride back
together.
The pursuers came up and n few words
OF further explanation. put all in good
humor as they rode leisurely to the tav-
ern again.
That night Sir William Norton, tenn
porarily in America on important busi-
ness, was the guest of Mr.. Amos Dun
bar and his now very agreeable wife.
They found the knight something better
than c highwaymnn, his courtly man

Edwin Booths first appearance on the
regular stage vas made Sep. 10, 1919,
at the Boston Museum, in the little part
of Tressl, IN Cibbers version of "Rlch-
ard ILL" Junius '<rutus Booth, his
.ather-the rival OF Edmund Kean, and
one Of the greatest tragedlans that ever
lyol--was then keeping On engagement
at the Museum, and Edwin was in at

"Where are your spurs?"

"Take mlne"-holding out one booted

The boy took the spurs, and went on
for his little scene with King Henry vi.
When he returned, his father was still
sitting Degligently IN the chair, and
smoking the cigar. "Give me my spurs"
he said, again holding out his leg; and
this Was all the comment that Edwin
Booths first professional appearance
ever elected from the parent whom he
idolized. He learned subsequently,
though, that his father had been down
at the wing, and had watched the first
effort with evident interest and satisfao-
ton, and then hastened back to his nom
chslant pose in the dressing-room. There
never, surely, could have been more
singular being than Junius Brutus Booth.

MISTAKEN FOR A HIGHWAY.
MAN,

A stalwart, but tired-looking, horse
man was riding toward the village Of
Messy Brook, at the close of sultry
afternoon last summer, rs fast as the
jad, bay mare he bestrode could lessen
the distance. His face was handsome,
but he wore an anxious expression, and
he stared about the country, rs he rode
on, with the air OF a stranger in those
parts. His dusty feet, his pale visage
and the foreign cut Of his apparel, with
the watchfulness Of his manner, wonld
have led any observer to consider him
one Who had Travelled far that diry. and
who was not only from foreign conu-
try, but laboring under some deep dis
tress of mind, sorrow or fear--perhaps
remorse. ,.r
As he climbed the hill which looked
down upon the village, his face bright
ened somewhat.
THANK heaven there shall find a
few hours rest ana refreshment for my
self aud this exhausted beast" he NUT
tered. And the mare pricked up her
ears ms she saw the village and heard his
voice, and hastened her pace, as if she
hHtW tltT TlltT > lHtPDJlOu.
"Care for her well, " said the stranger
TO the hostler, rs he alighted. AZ am
TO sup and sleep u few hours. and at 10
TO night have her ready saddled at the
door for I am in great haste to con-
time my journey, and must then de-
part. Z.
The hostler promised, and the stran.
ger, after eating hearty supper, retired
10 rest.
Having well bestowed the mare, the
hotter flung himself down before tie
stable door, and, considering that he
had as much right TO rest rs any other
man or beast in free country, went to
sleep himself.
Whether he had worked or drank too
much that day, certain il was that he
oversight his time; and when he started
up and hastily sadllrd the mare upon
which the stranger WAS 10 continue his
way it was IL O'CLOCK aud pitch-dark.
As the stranger, also, had oversight
his hour, he :ld not so much blame the
hostl-r, but pail mis- hill, mounted
qulcsly and rode off, making no answer
To the remark of tue man that there
would ba heavy storm before morning,
rs tbe clouds were already black ami
threatening
:" Valuable informatiOh sneere the
traveller, rs the mare made unusually
