and l think il is an exceIen. schems
for hot weather. Hundreds OF Door
beasts stand out in the scorching heau
all day with the sun beating On their.
heads If they were men they would
be pitied, and some enc would give thems
hats or umbrellas; but people seem TO
think that a horse doesn't object to-

said Mr.. Castle, as he pa, Dorothy ON
the street car and jumped on after her.
Dorothy Castle did a great deal Of
thinking thar morning as she waited inf
her fathers office. She had been I'D in
tho mountains, AMI that afternoon her
father was to take her TO he seashoIs
TO spend the res, Of the summer. The
image of that funny look NC horse, his
head protected from the sun by an old
bathing hat in which We're cut holes for
his ears 10 pass through, kept rising
before her eyes, and then she would
think c. the hundreds c., suffering horses
her father had spoken Of She thought
CT I. so much in fac, that when they
boarded the train for the seashore She
had made up her mind to be an S. p. G.
A. herself. or You have never heard
Of the 5. p. c. 4. le, me tell you that it
is the Society for The Prevention of CRU

I'd him to do, but VAS az las, persuaded
when she tod him she didn't see what
good going 10 college done him If he
couldn't paint even a simple sign. The
cards. which were carefully ncked in
dvery bathing hcu-e, Rad something
like his:
Don't throw away your old bath

pavilion to be used for the s. p. c. A
OF course. every one was interested
to know what bathing has had to 40
with the S. p. c. A.. and hats by The
dozens. in all stages Of wear, came
pouring in. There were also donations
of money from those who couldn't con-
frlbute hats, with which the proprietor
c. the bathing pavilion volunieerd 10
buy a lot Of hats. as he could get Them
cheaper than could Dorothy.
The children packed the piles OF OLD
hats which were gathered at III pavilion
and expressed them to the city TO Mr..
Castle. who said he would see that they
were distributed among th cart horses
where they were mos needed. Ana
sure enough he did so. 10 the great
amusement of every on who sees thN
horses. The horses are thankful

ehey are more comfortable than taey
