We were having such delightful ride in

after our marriage. The air was crisp, the
sun yet low over the eastern hills, the world
still fresh and fair. The bare, sun-baked
hllocks, the arid waters that surround the
green oasis Of Hearts Delight" the Maha-
rajah's Summer palace, where we were
spending our honeymoon, seemed almost
beautiful in our eyes, rs we sauntered leis
urely along, our ponies as close together as
the evenness of the ground permitted. The
attendant and ubiquitous grooms we had
told to await our reiurn-we wanted this
first ride all to our own little selves. Al
ready it seemed as if years separated us from
all the fuss of yesterday-the marigold-gar-
landed veranda; the smart bonnets, which
had replaced the Solar-topees at the unwonted
hour of noon; the venerable tall hats, ex.
humed for the auspicious occasion; the gay
uniforms, and, finally, the driving of, in

to preserve as trophy, and ut its skinning,
two strange things came to light. In its
