horse locomotion known a. the "artifcial

the fox trot, is so useful that It is by no means
improbable that ii will be introduced and cul-
but " smoothing out and slowing up of the
true trot, but it Is universal throughout the
southern states, and though the slowest of the
Kentucky gaits, il is one the horse can take and
keep all day long, covering five or six miles an
hour and never fatiguing either the rider or
himself. 1t is not difficult to teach and once
learned is never forgotten. Speaking of it in
paper read before the Cavalry association of
the United States at Fort Leavenworth IAN in
stitution, by the way, which has members all
over the country and which welcomes horse
men and riders whether in the army or out of
it), Capt. Woodson says, "While it is not true
diagonal motion it departs from it simply in
the fact that the forefoot touches the ground
slightly in advance of the diagonal hind foot"
THE RUNNING WALK
Is another modification of the trot. 1t differs
from the "fox trot" in that the hind foot
touches the ground slightly in advance of the
diagonal fore foot. Consequently more ground
is covered and the pace is more rapid. 1t is a
springy. elastic gait; the reign is kept tighter;
the head of the horse is held higher. and it is
much more stylish, but it is fatiguing and not
to be persisted in for more than fifteen or
twenty minutes at time without telling on
the average mount 1t sounds on solid road
bed very like a quickening of the walk.
Inc rack Is a swaying, straddllnS gait for
which the cavalryman has neither use nor adj
miration, but it has many advocates in civil
life and is an undeniable favorite with those
who want to get over the ground at the fastest
speed without jar or discomfort to themselves
Everybody is familiar with the true pace, and
this gait-the racks simply forcing of the
pace-a variation Of it in which the hind foot
strikes the ground in advance of the leading
fore foot.
Finally we have the ''single foot"-a gait
that is unlike all the others and vet is sort
of compromise between the trot and the true
pace, If not an exact intermediate between
them. 1t is so called because each foot acts
singly, or independently of its fellows and the
same interval of time elapses between the four
hoof beats. 1t is a stylish gait; very popular in
western cities; is rapid and free and can be
made "three-minute" affair with a good
sound horse. 1t is gait, moreover, from
which the steed changes easily to any one of the
"naturals," and one in which he readily gathers
himself for leap over slight obstacles.
And all these gaits are demanded in Ken
lucky horse and almost universally taught
there.-CHARLEs KING, Captain U. s. A.

Worse than Marriage.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in his room:
His toes with the govt were aching,
And his face was o erspread with gloom.
No little ones shouts disturbed him,
From noises the house was Free
In fact, from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking:
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders,
And supplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanting,
something he couldn't command:
The kindly words of compassion,
The touch of a gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker
And he rang for the hireling nurse,
well, marriage may be failure.
But this is a blamed sight worse"

CHAPTER III.

When he found himself again alone Mr.. CAL
vert sat down to collect his thoughts, which
were slightly confused by the unexpected
events which had just occurred. The sudden
ness and strangeness Of the interview would
OF themselves have been sufficient to discon-
cert Mr.. Calvert, but it was the nature Of the
promise he had made which was disturbing him
most.
When the first stage of his bewilderment
had passed by it would be hard to say whether
he was more surprised ut Miss Faber for hav-
ing made the request or at himself for having
granted it. Although reflection did not place
his promise in a more favorable light he did
not purpose to retract it. He was conscious of
having formerly treated Miss Faber with want
OF candor, and he was determined not again to
give her cause to doubt his faith.

the deliberate neglect of his duties as EXAM

A SOAP BUBBLE "MEET.o
A Novel Entertainment which Promises
to Become Popular I'm Washington.


What promises to be 'craze'' in some local
tiles, If not in Washington, and doubtless over
done as all crazes are, is an entertainment de-
signed entirely for the enjoyment of the
young people-the kid" element. Its intro
duction, or revival, rather, is of recent date
and has progressed sufficiently far already to
be on the very brink of becoming fashiona-
BILE fad" As witnessed recently in an east
ern city in circles of high degree it was really
very recherche. if so commonplace thing as
blowing soap bubbles can be referred to in the
parlance of the court. diplomatic and bon-ton
society reporter. Ordinarily it would be called
a party" but in these days of high teas
which come before the usual dinner hour, and
OF dinners" which come long after the regu-
lar time for supper, it is called s.Meet'-.sA
Soap Bubble Meet" So the old-tme birthday
parties given our grandfathers and grand
mothers when they were children at which
they romped and played with the utmost
childish abandon, blowing soap bubbles and
watching them sail gracefully through the air
shedding the luster of thousand brilliant dies
to suddenly dissolve into airy nothingness, are
now called .'meets''-that is, if the card re-
ceived specifies the blowing of soap bubbles.
