the other day, II lived in ~
respectable Blue Grass town d
old uncle and aunt, who were seeinE
to the proper bringing up of their
only and we'll beloved nephew.
Among their possessions were two
horses and negro boy who took
care of them, and those horses and
that boy were my especial delight.
After my first winter in town and
when the weather began to soften
In the spring the boy and were
accustomed to ride the horses to a
pond to water, which was perhaps
three-quarters of mile from the
stable, half Of which distance was
through the town. 1t soon became
our custom when the horses had fin.
ished drinking to let them go full
tilt for home, and the speed they
attained was startling, 80 fast, in
fact, that we soon had to take to ths
alleys and run them to the stable
that way. suppose we had been
keeping this up for three months,
and the horses had got SO that they
would scarcely wait to drink before
they wanted to be off, when one
Sunday my uncle and aunt conclud-
ed they would go to meeting in the
country-my uncle was staid and
severe deacon in the Presbyterian
church-and for change they rode
the horses instead of driving them.
AS luck would have it, they came
back to town over a road that led by
the pond where Jim and watered
the horses, and as it was about wa
tering time as they passed they
stopped and let the horses drink.
Of course uncle and aunt had per-
feet confidence in their critters
and were not expecting any demon
strations, but as soon as those horses
had taken a good long pull at the
water and lifted their heads to take
look around it seemed to occur to
them all at once that that was the
time to cut and run for the stable.
"And they did. My eye, how they
didl Down the road for the first
quarter of a mile, past the houses Of
three deacons in opposite churches,
with their families sitting out on
their galleries in the cool of the
evening; then on past the minister's
house they went like the wind, my
uncle doing all he could to hold the
beast and my aunt frightened out
Of her wits by the unexpectedness
of it, doing all she could to hold
herself on her horses back. Uncle's
hat few off as he turned into the
first alley, or rather as the horse
turned him into the alley, and four
boys with three dogs got hold of it
and came bowling after. My aunt's
horse always made his squirt at this
point, and as her skirts few at the
mercy of the wind, he gave a wild
plunge and dashed ahead of my un-
Gle. AS they sped up the alley peo-
pie on the streets where the alleys
crossed hurried out Of the way and,
gazed in awestruck wonder as the
deacon and his good wife scurried
along on Gathering hoofs.
The usual Sunday quiet had pre-
vailed and the noise of the racing
steeds seemed to fill the town. and

take summary vengeance on the negro
No demonstration had up to that time

moved the prisoner to place OF safety

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of

R. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade will say today
If either Turkey or Greece had been
wholly buried in the sea, markets might
have been affected less than by the OUT
break of war in Europe. Like fire in
the heart of crowded city, it raises The
question whether a general conflagration
may spring out of it. To TINS possibility,
and not to the direct influence of either
Turkey or Greece upon the worlds money
or produce markets, was due the excite
ment in grain and stocks AS the IN
known is magnified, American markets
were much more flighty than European,
where the possibilities have been discussed
and partly discounted for months. But
tile uncertainty remains and Will atfect
movements of money and staples untl! IL
disappears, creating a larger demand For
American products at higher prices, ca'is'
ing hasty speculative selling or securities
at times, but also more continuous buying
by foreign investors, and not improbably
influencing the attitude of foreign powers
on questions Important to this country
The past week, like others of late, has
witnessed starting Of operations by seV-
era! iron works, and especially III black
sheets for timing, and yet prices OF piS
| iron and unfinished products are lower, the

more structural orders are pending. East
