The great trouble is that half the men
who ride on horseback have no sympathy
with the animals they bestride. Perhaps
they can't when they ride one one day and
another the next. l could never see any
fun riding on q strange horse unless you
use the animal purely as means Tor get

SWEETEST girls in New York who own their
own saddle-horses have their steeds as well

aPPREclATiVE MISS TERRY.

Her Knack OF Making Friends-Reward
of Dudish Young Gentleman.
Ellen Terry has knack of making friends
off the stage as well as on it, and not long
since she made one at least who will not for
get her.
Her carriage was standing in front Of a
New York florists and knot Of people had
gathered to see her leave the store and cross
the pavement before driving of. Presently
Miss Terry was in the doorway, a bunch of
flaming chrysanthemums in her hand.
The shoppers and young men about town
stood their ground for an instant to take in
the effect of the fluffy light hair, the big gray
eyes and the trim figure in dark tailor
gown. Then they fell back hastily, half
ashamed of the curiosity, for people pay
more than an average degree Of Difference to
the charming English actress on the street
The movement was so sudden that the
tiniest of girl peddlers, little creature not
over or years old, with handful of bright
colored whips, was thrown down. She had
been standing just on the curb, and but for
the quick movement of a rather dudish young
man-of the Bob billiard rather than the
Berry Wall type, however-who split very
neat glove in the lunge TO PICK her up, would
have rolled under the heels of Miss Terry's
spirited team.
The child gave one gulp, half Of fright and
half of surprise, and then looked round for
the bunch of whips, imperturbably COM
posed once more, rs the manner of the gamin
is. Miss Terry dropped change enough to
have bought up the whole stock into the lit
tie but dirty hand and then held out her own
with quick movement of cordiality to the
dudish young man, leaving her chrysan-
themums in his. She did not say a
word and she was gone in an in
slant, for Miss Terry hates crowds,
but her glance was expressive enough TO
| stand for volume, and the young man
pulled off the torn glove-it was the one she
had touched-and slowed it away in pocket
| book, handling it very respectfully as a
| treasured memento, staring after the carriage
| like one in dream. He looked down at the
| flowers she had left him almost incredu-
lousy, passed his hand over them and then
across his forehead to reassure himself he was
not living in fairyland, and added some good
sized silver bits, by way of getting down to
an everyday basis again, to the bonanza
with which the lite peddler was making off.
| Ellen Terry had reduced slave to bond
age, and as for lockers on they liked the
| young man better than they usually liked

The Transformation Was Complete.

who sat at the piano had been engaged for
the occasion and rejoiced in the prefix Of pro
fessor There was no brutality in his treat
ment Of the keys. He manipulated them a3
if he liked them, as if he knew their resources
and Just how to exhaust them to the best adj
vantage He was worth looking at as he
faced the instrument. When the music sub
sided he seemed to die away in perfect SYM
pathy with it, when it broke into tempest
and torrent his energies were reused in pro-
portion. He played upon himself Just to the
extent that he used the piano A character
manifestly effeminate under ordinary cir
curnstances sprang into astonishing virihty
and vigor when the score called for life and
action and softened into rare dreaminess as
as the theme melted or became subdued-
Thoroughly at home where he sat, in an
unfortunate moment the host asked him 10

stool, taking seat on the other side OF the
parlor. The transformation was complete
He turned in his toes, looked sheepish and
embarrassed and seemed to have such a faint
idea of what his hands were made for that be

In due time the amateur performance came
TO an end, as even amateur performances
must, and with a sigh Of great relief the pro-
fessor resumed his stool. The fish was back
in the water. Nobody saw his toes and no
body cared anything about them. The one
thing that above all others he knew YVES just
what to do with his hands. There was gen.

fingers the piano breathed freely once more,
