This story is told of Alexandra Dumas.

a request-at least not often. One dav
he gave a man a letter to one of his init.
mate friends in Brussels. The friend. a
wealthy merchant, received him as
though he had been Dumas own broth
er, introduced him to his circle of ac-
quaintances, placed his stable at the
mans disposal and did everything in his
power to make life pleasant for Dumas
friend. After the lapse of IA days the
man suddenly disappeared, and with
him the best horse in the merchants

visited Dumas and thanked him for the
kind Of people he recommended to his
consideration. Dear friend" he add
ed, "your friend is a shark. He stole

nothing, but when grown $3.50 to 1900
per pair was a very common price. He
wondered why no one had seen that be-
fore and taken advantage of it.
SO he went to Spain and bought a
beautiful jack called Ferdinand III. and
the W came over together, the Earl of
Ilnktum and Ferdinand II.
Both of them were seasick most of the
way over. The earl suffered most. for
he did not have the mental resources
that Ferdinand did to occupy himself
with.
They landed in Kentucky a year ago
and began to sit up and take notice.
The earl bought 90 j%ennies and moved
out to the ranch. There they have all
been for over a year, growing up with
the country.
No change has taken place on the
ranch, so the colonel told me, except
that Ferdinand III last October one day.

or and the blue grass a soft emerald IN
der the beautiful shade of the reddening
oak, curled up in a fence corner and
died.
Some said it was inconsistencies. but
generally it was agreed that Ferdinand
died because he had been disappointed
and deceived by the Earl of Tinktum.
The colonel got to speaking of the cal
umny against Kentucky regarding the
matter of whisky.
I'VE don't consume any more whisky
h Maine does" he said, but we want
1t good. Now, my neighbor, Judge Ell
der, wanted some of the same kind of
whisky as mine-it is 8 years old, which
is plenty old enough, | think, and about
as old as we allow it to get here-so he
went up to Louisville and bought a bar
rel of it for medicinal purposes. He asked
me to com down to his place after he
got home and sample it. / told him it
was the same thing as mine, only that I
thought | could detect Il flavor of IRON
just a trace-in it.
HE was sorry to hear that. and a
week afterward he got Colonel Dilling-
halm to come down and pass his opinion

The two sat just ahead of me, and he
kept his arm around her waist all the
time and looked happy. When the con-
ductor asked for his ticket, he tried to
get it out of his pocket without using his
engaged arm, but it was so difficult the

where h ticket was, and the latter got

had been taught to take his coat off and
