Observation-Disclosures.

81 was with a surveying party in
New Mexico once" said an old civil
engineer at the Occidental. "Our sup
plies run short and it was long way
to a town. Among other things we
run out of tobacco. One man found a
package of cigarettes in the pocket of
an old coat and there was rejoicing.
But a package of cigarettes did not
last long and after they had been dis
tributed and consumed an odd cigar
cite remained. Six men wanted it. l
was the seventh. I wanted it, too, but
was too digniied to say SO. Finally I
proposed that the fellows race for it.
It was decided that they should go
half a mile, stand in line, and when
they saw me fire pistol run for the
tent, the first in to get the prize. They
started to walk to the half-mile point.
The day was warm and l sat lazily
watching them. They squared round,
signaled ready and l fired. The six
came painting and sweating over the
sands. Where's my cigaretteP' shouted
the victor Well, what could l say,
for the stump of it was between my
lips.
"a clear case" he continued. "a clear

"I can't say that it is much of dis
appointment, Miss Eastlake," the
young man replied, frankly. @The
fact is that Miss Ethel Chapman, ex-
ercising her leap-year privileges, has
asked me to marry her. I didn't like
to refuse her. So begged for week
in which to consider it, hoping that in
that time might"

CRAY EAGLES DEBUT.
The Turning Point in the Life of 3 Horse
That Became Famous on the Turf.


OF the many bits of unpublished ro-
nance, the natural fotsam aud jetsam
of the receding tide of war about the
national capital during the close of the
long, dark days, there is the follow
ing, lately come to ight-almost q
companion piece, in an humble way,
to the now famous biography of Black
Beauty:
It happened late in the summer of
'65 that played-out looking Confed-
crate cavalryman-no uncommon sight
-ambled into the quiet precincts of
Georgetown astride of a fea-bitten,
switch-tailed skeleton of a horse, and.
stopping in front of Hazel's livery,
called out the dealer in horsefesh and
opened negotiations for the sale of his
mount. The American TattersaIl ran
over the points of the wreck with
careful eye, and at the end of the ex-
animation was less surprised than
would have been a less experienced
Judge when the soldier fixed his price
at $50.
OF course the figures did not pass
without dispute, but after some chaf-
ing the difference was split at $135
and the trade closed, the dismounted
ranger pursuing his way on foot to-
ward Dixie considerably better fixed
than before in the matter of incidental
expenses, and the horse dealer leading
his new purchase within, where he
was groomed, fed and Watered by the
old black stable boss as he had not
been before in many day.
This care and attention kept up till
far into the autumn, when the crisp
north winds fired the leaves of all the
forest outside and sent the blood
coursing faster in the veins of all cre-
alton, while the frost worked down in
to the ground and toughened up the
roadbeds well for speeding. Then the
old gentleman, who was then not SO
old as he is now, one day called an ac-
quaintance and brought out the Con-
federate gray for inspection.
The inter-rib spaces of the skeleton
had filed out until they were no longer
to be seen, and the switch tail had
heightened to quite respectable pro-
portions, while about the whole frame
there was a general springiness that
might be laid to good currying and
United States oats.
Driving leisure1y to the edge of the
town, where there was a good level
stretch of dirt road in view, the driver
laid the whip knowingly across the
lines he had wound round his hand
and let the strange horse go. And he
went. Road and fences turned to
blur, and the icy wind whistled through
the furs. After good mile the driver
pulled up gently. sprung out and ran
his hands over the silvery sides that
were scarcely heaving, and patted the
velvety nostrils, saying with a chuckle:
"I thought I wasn't mistaken" And
then they went home.
Time passed, and the fame of the
gray trotter spread, till finally his
owner parted with him somewhat re-
gretfully for $500. That was the
flyer afterward known upon the turf
as GRAY Eagle WdShi1Qt0n Post.
