fine saddle horse. She is less than 81,
pretty, graceful, agile, stylish, daring and
an incorrigible somnambulist. Pursuing
a course OF education not unlike that used
on Harriet Martineau, the young lady's
mother provided her with a horse which
she was allowed to ride three hours every
day, provided her Latin, arithmetic.

often been known to rattle off the conju-
cation OF French verbs in her sleep, and
further than little perambulating about
the house gave her family no cause for

The recreation proved a surieit and the
exercise Of the day was resumed IN her
dreams. IL was hardly two hours past
midnight when little figure clad in
tall silk hat and pair OF riding gloves,
with an ivory hound whip. might have
been seen leading sleepy bay mare from
the stable, very carelessly saddled. A
short canter down the avenue brought
rider and horse to the boulevard, and just
as they were about to take the bride path

salute, and his "where are you going?v

reins were seized and 'Flossy7 was

to resent the Indignities of the intruder,

fell over on the neck OF the officers sorrel
Three short, shrill notes OF "a whistle had
scarcely been answered when four fellow
guardians appeared on the scene, who
