1t was cruel thing to say, but did
not mean it should be cruel, nor did it
seem so at the time. But if this man
could not tell me of the life he had led in
the days and years before knew him,
how much less could he reveal it to the
sweet, trustful woman he professed to
love. What right had he to love such
woman if he did not dare con6de in her?

But what seemed unkind in the re-
peating did not appear to either anger or

of his face as the sunshine is blotted by
a passing cloud, and into his eyes there
crept a far away look as of one who was
seeking to peer into the beyond. 1t was
an eerie expression of unutterable sad
ness, look such as fancy must some
times come into the eyes of the dying
who are reluctant to leave that which
they have knowledge of for that they
know not of. The lines about his mouth
deepened, the pallor of his cheeks became
more apparent, and dark circles crept up
under his eyes. The man seemed to age
ten years as looked at him. Then he
passed his hand over his head in the old,
irresolute way, and slowly there came
from his lips these words, spoken in pitt
able anguish:

CHAPTER Ill

didn't see much of Brigham for a
week or two A change in the force
moved me up to the post of editorial
writer, though the staff was so flexible
that the editor of one day was apt to be
the police reporter of the next. 1t was
a kind Of free-for-all born of the transit
ton state of things about us. And as a
matter of fact it lent spice to the life we
were leading. twas a lottery in which
all had an equal chance. 1t might be a
little disappointing for the man at the
top to be asked to step down, but then
there was always great incentiveto the
follow at tho bottom before whom was
held out the promise of stepping up.
Brigham and roOmed together still.
1t was mutually agreeable, take it, and
neither one suggested a change. But
though l saw less of him l noticed a
marked change in my roommate. He
was manifestly shaking off the gloom
that seemed to be about him when he
had first come to town. He was not put
ting off an old nature and taking on a
new. but rather WAS coming into Lis
rightful possession of gay good humor
and debonair fellowship. 1 guessed at
the reason for this when l heard of him
leaving an order with Zimmerman, the
florist, for roses for Miss Percival. My
suspicion was confirmed when on passing
the cotton factors home one evening on
my way to the Office Isaw him just ring
ing the bell.
1t was all very pleasant and quite TO
mantle, l thought cynically, but then
what in the deuce did this young Bo-
hemian, with not evenexpectations, mean
by paying attentions to the daughter OF
man whose fortune was away up IL
G.; who owned half a dozen cotton places
and held mortgages on a score Of others;
who shipped his cotton to New Orleans
on his own boats and could afford &c
crafty every taste of luxurious life.
Brigham was not a fortune hunter. l
felt sure of that. He was only doing
what any other young fellow of parts
would have done if placed in the same
Observation-Disclosures the acquaintance OF
a delightful woman. But then-was II
right for man who was afraid of his
past, who did not dare tell where his
home had been or who were his associ-
ates. to do that?
That was a question L had it in mind
to ask Brigham half dozen times. But
then it is an awkward thing to do, par
ticularly when you have no occasion &c
meddle 1t was a matter for Brigham
to settle with his conscience and Miss
Perciva1's father. And, too, perhaps Miss
Percival was very well able to take care
of her own affairs, and needed no help
from one who would only court the ac-
cusation that he was prompted by jeal-
ousy or spleen if he did interfere. It was
really nothing to me if man OF inde6-
mite and presumably doubtful anteced-
epts paid marked attention 70 a 7oune

Memphis was not large place in sew
enty, but it was lively and bursting with
the new energy of an awakened CONNER
cial life. 1t combined in a remarkable
degree the two social extremes of the
south-the delightful, luxuriant culture
of the old "before the war" days and the
energetic, aggressive spirit of the new
cult which was to plant victor's ban
ner on the soil. The town was the gate
way of the Yazoo delta, that garden spot
of Mississippi whose twin portals are
Memphis and Vicksburg, and on which
the benson of plenty seems to have been
poured. We men of the press were too
cosmopolitan to feel or be susceptible to
any restraint which others might have
experienced. Hail fellows well met, we
expected and received the courteous
treatment we accorded all men.
As for the ruffian and the braggert,
we were familiar enough with him in the
cities of the north to meet him on his own
ground-by ready resort to the pistol
when necessary. Into the gay social life
of the place we entered with a pleasure
able abandon all the more sincere be-
cause the relaxation from work came SO
seldom. Thus It was with good deal
Of satisfaction that learned early in the
evening that l might attend the Suffer
er's ball, Jones for q wonder being sober
and the rest Of the gang ali On hand.

TRAINING A r
Hints from an Expert Who Educates but
Never "Breaks' Horses.

Hints from an Expert Who Educates but
Never Breaks" Horses.
A horse should never be deceived by
words or action. When q rider or driver
pulls the reins and says whoa" he
should mean it and stick to it. But to
cry "whoa," jerk the reins and lash the
horse at the same time is confusing and
means nothing. 1t is quite common to
say "whoa" when it is only intended to
go slower, or when the horse has not
stirred a foot, to let him know of your
presence. One day when your life may
depend upon a "whoa" you will find
that your horse is not stopped by it be-
cause you have entirely played it out of
him. Speak always in a natural tone of
voice under all circumstances. Always
let your horse face the object of his fear,
and when frightened remember the
slower you move your horse the more
power you have over him. There are
times when letting a horse trot is almost
as bad as letting him run away. Fear is
something a horseman should never ex-
hibit in his c~ountenance or voice, as the
horse is a close observer and soon learns
to take advantage Of such indication to
become careless of control, if not indeed
aggressive. Let your lessons be thorough,
but not very long. Be gentle and pa
tient with the colt, but make the willful,
stubborn horse feel the full extent of
your power until he submits.
The way to educate a horse not to be
afraid of things is to get him used to
them by bringing him into frequent con-
tact with them. If the horse is afraid of
the report of firearms, just throw him
down and fire off a pistol over him.
Whenever he makes a motion to get up,
pull the strap that holds him down and
fire off the pistol again. This can be re-
peated, and a lesson should last thirty or
forty minutes. The next day give him
another lesson, and in about three days
the horse will pay no attention to the dis
charge OF firearms. Another cause of
trouble is restiveness, which comes from
bad handling and from a too eager dis
position. 1t tells of a nervousness or i'm
patience which develops easily into a
multitude of vices, such as rearing, back
ing, boiling, baking and sven vicious
ness in shoeing when badly handled.
The FESTIVE horse can easily be made an
inveterate baker. It is difficult to cure
when it becomes q confirmed vice. Gen
tleness and patient firmness of the trainer
must cure and prevent. Many an am
bilious horse is ever ready to start unless
he has been taught never to start until
the word is given. 1t is easy to train the
average horse not to start unless the
lines are drawn and the word given.
Horses are less to blame than drivers for
the habit of starting too soon

Another Gentle Bull,

Mr.. Thomas, of South Hutchinson,
KAN, is another victim to the vicious
ness of a pure bred Jersey bull. AS usual
the bull was "as docile as a kitten" Mr..
Thomas had been in the habit of petting
the animal and leading him around. He
went out to change the picketpin to
which the bull was tied when without a
moments warning the Jersey charged
on his victim, and catching Mr.. Thomas
on his horns tossed him fully twenty feet
in the air. AS soon as Mr.. Thomas fell
to the ground the bull savagely attacked
him again with his sharp horns and
stamped him with his forefeet. The
victim struggled up finally and got out
of the Infatuated animals way, but he
was in a terrible condition, and his suf-
fering was s. great that it was necessary
to keep him under the influence of NOR
phine. 1t is very doubtful if he will ever
recover. Beware of the ''gentle" Jersey
bull. The cows are indeed gentle, but
the bulls are vicious and should never be
trusted for an instant.-Field and Farm.
