The joke was passing freely and laughter

A Scene Of Frantic Frenzy.
The engine and the first two cars ran

were carried by their own speed clear

The deacon was extremely nervous.
He had spent the day IN wand ring
from the house to the barn, and from
the barn to the orchard, and from the
| orchard back to the house. He had
taken his old gun down from its shelf
and gone into little strip of woods
back of the farm-a thing he had not
done for years, but he had forgotten to
load il, and he had wandered back
presently. He had gone down 10 the
mill with halt dollar he did not owe
in uneasy hopes OF seeeing the owner,
for what he did not know, but the mill
had not been open. That was unusual
since Bryan's energetic reign had begun
and the deacon's nervousness had in
creased.
He listened apprehensively for the
click of the garden gate. Nothing was
as he had promised. What should he
say to him1
He took his pipe from his mouth
and moved in his chair in an agltated
way when he heard it at last. A white
figure flew past him down the steps
and toward the gate. 1t was not
Bryan, then. The deacon drew a sigh
of relief.
They came up the walk together and
sat down on the steps below him.
Condie took off his hat and lit cigar
and addressed himself to the deacon
with his usual bright volubllity.
] But the deacon could mol bear his
suspense any longer.
WAS expecting Bryan. he said at
last, rising nervously.
Condie knocked the ashes of his cigar
leisurely as he observed.
l hardly think he will come.
The deacon sat down.
| How d'you know he said, and there
was shade of relief in his voice.
Well the fact is, responded Condie
in a matter OF fact way, he is out OF
town.
What for7 said the deacon rather
sharply.
Well, it's long story, said Condie
composedly, but I'll condense it.
About two years ago he went to Europe
with $500, 900 which didn't belong to
him-he was cashier IN a bank-and |
sent him back with 1t; some-friends
of mine going with him. Itswas quite
in my line.
There was a solemn pause.

used up way, Bryan, good heavens

hand under cover of the darkness.
He gave me message for you-Bryan
isn't his lame, by the way, continued
| Condie. He wanted me to tell you
that circumstances would prevent his
marrying Immediately, and that he
would leave the game to me-those
were his words.
Well, said the deacon in a dazed
sort of way, well, | reckon you're
capable of playing it out.

THE GIRL KNEW BEST.

Deacon Roberts was very uneasy in
his mind as to whether he was doing
quite right IN allowing Phillip Condie
TO call on his daughter Josie.
Nobody in town seemed to know
anything about the young man, and he
never spoke of his home or family him
self, so 1t was plain he had dole some
thing wrong.
Now, young Bryan was the man the
deacon favored. He had plenty of
money, and though somewhat of
stranger too, in Craddock, everybody
knew that he came from Minnesota,
where he was said to own good deal
uf property.
The deacon did not want to send
Condie abont his business IN hurry,
becaus Josie seemed to have taken
such a fancy to the young man, but
when the two went out strolllng together
that evening he turned angrily to his
wife.
What dye mean, he demanded, by

knows what's wanted OF her, and she

night.
Poor Mrs. Robert knew what he
meant, and her heart sank little.
She admitted Bryan's smooth manners.
She shared the common respect which
his evlable position inspired. She
considered him on the whole superior
being. But she was we'll aware of Iosie's
| dislike for him, and her heart was full
of pity for the girl.
That charming person was standing
outside in the twilight, looking up
rather soberly into the face that was
bending above her own. Condie had
drawn her arm through his own with
an air of propretorship.
WellP he said smilingly.
Well she repeated, with something
like reproach in her voice. 1t strikes
me really that you are remarkably
cool.

But when she went into the house

the average track. As a rule track
are built, on nearly level land, and
surrounded as they are by high,
tight, board fences, there is practi-
cally ing of the least interest for
even the driver, much less the horse,
too see.
Possibly many have the idea that
when in training, horses should not
be looking about them, but except
in extreme exertion horse is much
more observing than is generally
supposed. Drive any intelligent
horse over strange road, no matter
how obscure it may be, and at the
end of any number of miles by turn
ing about it will be noticed how per-
fectly the animal will remember the
road over which he has passed.
Whenever the driver is in doubt in
such a case it is generally safe to
give the horse the rein, when mis-
take will very rarely be made.
No animal. except the dog, is
quite SO close to man as the horse,
and it is at least doubtful whether
man has sensations, likes or dislikes
which horse may not have. Love
of scenery is particularly marked in
the human race, and the most pat
riotic people in the world are those
OF mountainous countries, such as
Switzerland, for instance. On the
other hand, there are no we'll know n
examples OF persons being particu-
larly fond of any one spot in level
country, and a similarity of attach
ment has been repeatedly noticed in
horses.
There are plenty ofauthentic cases
where persons on moving from
rough and broken farms in the East
to the level sections in the West
have taken with them horses bred
on the farms they have left, often
traversing distance of several hun
dred miles. On arrival it would be
very evident that the horses were
the most homesick of all, and there
are plenty of instances where on be-
ing turned loose they have at once
taken a bee line for their native hills
which they have reached in remark
ably quick time.
Many OF the most observing
trainers at the present time give
their horses considerable work on
the road, and some are careful to
give as much variety as possible in
this prominent owner Of thorough
breds requires that his horses in
training shall travel over a different
route each time they are taken out.
His idea is that the horses get
tired Of seeing the same object over
and over again, and do not take
their work with same spirit and zest
as when more variety is brought
into it. If this is the case with thor
oughbreds, in all probability it is
still more so with trotters, which are
worked for much longer period of
time and are given much more work
in their preparation than are the
runners,

GIVE VARIETY IN TRAINING.

Many appear to have the idea
that a horse has no choice as to
where he is driven, although we
frequently hear of young horses get,
ting track sick" Nothing can be
much more monotonous than mile
after mile, day after day, around
