satisfied my questioner and ourmutii-
al ffiend ia I'D, after little talk bout
politics, in which my Sunday school
ACQUAINTANCE promised me his sup
port. we said good day and drove on
to Horse Corners, so called because
of the unusual degree OF interest taken

hanging heavily, and did an unusual

he was wrong, and had better hedge.
as the horse be held for n fayorite
would get beat. He followed my .ad-
vice, and by the merest good luck
there Mr.. Sessions gavea sidelong iooS
that meant Maybe didn' know what
horse was slated to win, and maybe |
did') the Horse named came.in first.
iFhc mamhad put up his last dollar

save my character from beingwrecked.
The deacon stopped and said. Mr..
Blank, this is Mr.. Sessions OF ChaItan-
qua county, our candidate for the
Senate.
