my roadster, to be trotted the next morn
ing, at an hour when the track would be
free if they could get the managers per-
mlSsion-and the money was put up in
good hands, safe to go to the winner. To
get the managers permission, the trot
had to be represented to them as bit of
fun, for basket of wine, just to teach a
lesson 10 the churn-man, who was too
brash for his own good and they thought
it would be quite joke
A few minutes after the match was
made, Sutherland's partner in the Churn
business wobbled into to the saloon where
the hOrse-talk was going on, and he was
full as a goat. He seemed fabbergasted
when he heard, and succeeded in under
standing, what had been going on and the
two partners had quite n row, Hutchin-
son calling his fat friend all kinds of
fool for what he had done. But when
some outsiders interfered in the interests
of the public peace, which seemed liable
to be broken, little Hutchinson turned on
them savage as a mink, and swerving
right around, as q drunken man will, he
sworehe would stand by his partner, what
ever his partner did was right, and he
would back his partner with
every dollar he 1i- had Then he
flashed up a roll of money, like the
other chaps except that it seemed to
have grown up to maturity. There must
have been at least 81, 900 up on each side,
outside of the stakes, before the blufing
and calling down came to an end, and
drunk as the churn men were, they took
good care the money was in solid, respon-
sible hands.
When the story of the match got around
the next morning there was a feeling of
sadness in the community, on account Of
all the churnmen's money being up with
Mr. Carter and his friends, for it was
felt that those who had not got piece of
so good a thing had actually lost Just so
much. But that cloud had a silver lin
ing. Two innocent-looking young chaps
students from Ann Arbor, they
said they were-strollcd into town
to see the fair, and being at the

Serviceable roadster
The next morning two men, who named
themselves Sutherland and Hutchinson,
got off the train from Detroit to Adrian
to sell county rights for a new patent
churn. They wanted horse TO take them
around among the farmers and let them
have my new roadster. When they came
back in the evening, they engaged him for
the next day, and l was glad to see that
he had not been driven very hard. So it
went on three or four days Every morn
ing they drove him out and in the even
ing engaged him for the next day. But
they didn't seem to have much luck in
selling their churn and talked about Civ
ing up and going away discouraged /
suggested that they had better stay over
to the county fair, which was to open the
next week, when they could show their
churn to everybody in that part of Michi-
gan and would be likely to do we'll After

would engage the one they had been
using. They would pay for him every
day whether they used him or not, only
they stipulated that | was not, under any
circumstances, to let anyone else work

me a $40 bill in advance to bind the bar

of the agreement if had wanted TO, for
they took him away early every morning
and kept him until long after dark, but
he never showed sign Of hard work so |
had no reason to complain. And they re-
marked, two or three times, what a com
fort it was TO have the horse one was
used to and had learned TO trust, par
ticularly for person who didn't pretend
TO be much of driver. Sutherland al
ways drove. He was stout, healthy
sort of man. Hutchinson was a little
dried up looking chap, who said he didn't
know much abont horses and was rather
afraid Of them.

A LEAD PIPE CINCH.
(CopyrIght. 1897


GA dozen years ago, when I kept in
Adrian, said the livery stable man, Il
had an experience which it gives me a
pain, even yet, to think of. A fellow rode
up to my door one afternoon and asked if

animal was 7-year-old dark bay, with
no blaze and only one stocking in pretty
fair condition, but rough-his tail and
name full of burs. 1 found him sound,
he seemed gentle and the chap only
wanted $125 for him; not dear for such
a likely looking horse for livery work,
as prices were then. There was nothing
suspicious about the man. He said he
had been teaching school back in the
country, and looked it. The horse was
taken for a debt and he had a regular
bill of sale for him. But the animal was
no more good to him, because he had had
the shakes, was sick of the west and was

But along in the forenoon of the next
day an Indiana sheriff from Marshall
county, think, if | remember right, came
to town looking for a stolen horse and
found him. Yes, you've guessed right
it was my roadster. The owner of the
horse was along and identified the beast.

About month afterward the facts
came out and Carter had been right.
There was a put-up job, and the pre-
tended churn men, the students, the
thief, the real owner Of tine horse-and
the sheriff, too, l guess-were all in it.
Hutchinson was one of the best drivers
in the land and had trained the horse
so the gang knew they had a cinch on
Sultana, but to work it it so as to get all
out of IL that was possible they had to
play their comedy in the fine way they
did. The horse was one with a repu-
tation already, and as he had a blaze

marks would have given him away If he
had not been neatly dyed, and the dye
would have been worn or washed off

fault, the effect thereof being perfect

beauty, will shortly become Mrs. Vaughn

Joseph Larocque, Jr., will stand before
the altar on Oct. 25; and many others
will step from the highest ranks of maid

But, for all the interest attached to
such affairs as these, more attention is
given to arrangement, pomp and original
ity in the costumiug of bridesmaids and
.lnaids of honor, than to the gown of the
bride herself. A magnificent simplicity
is the one essential. Satin, in the pearly
shades, is still the material, the veil is
still of tulle, the trimming of lace, or of
pearl passementeries, if one is not super
'stitiously inclined, and even the orange
blossom still forms part of the toilet.
The cut of the gown is either Princess
or a round waist with the skirt full and
wide of course. Accordion plaits appear
