Az CAUGHT THE RUNAWAY BY THE BRIDLR
the runaway by the bride. Turning
his cutter about, he hurried back with
his capture, while his own well train
ed horse followed behind. The condi-
tion In which he found Mary and
Eakins was enough to satisfy him if
he thirsted for revenge. They were
covered with snow from head to foot,
and their teeth were chattering with
the cold.
"Are you hurt?" he called as soon as
ne was near enough.
NO" said Eakins. Mary was cry
ing with cold and vexation and said
nothing.
swell, must say you have made q
pretty fair smash Of it. Mary, you will
freeze to death standing there while he
is getting the cutter In shape again.
You'd letter come with me and let me
take you home"
NO." said Mary. "Mr. Eakins
brought me out, and I'm going home
with him, Mr.. Harlow"
"Oh, if that's the way you feel about
1t, guess it won't do you any harm to
stay here till you cool OFF, And he
turned his horse again and prepared to
go home alone. But before he had
gone many rods he stopped and came
back.
''Here" he said gruffly. "Let me help
you get into shape again! Why, you
fool, what made you take your mitts
of? That frosty iron is peeling the

Africa. A tent was raised at Port
Elizabeth, and another is to be estab-
lished at Durham. Owing to the noun
famous condition Of the country in
which the British will be compelled
to carry on their operations, it may be
impossible, however, for the Y. NJ. c.
A. field secretary to move his tent from
place to place with the troops at the
front.
The transport Sandman, which sew
eral weeks ago sailed from Quebec
for South Africa with the Canadian
volunteers, was accompanied by DR..

tary of the Y. NJ. C. A. in Ontario. with
offices in Toronto, and was in close
touch with the work of the interna-
tional committee of New York city.

and the fact that she received them
without protest an acknowledgment
of responsive feeling. So he thought
she would accept his Invitation as a
matter Of course and prepare for the
frolic at moments notice.
But Mary had ideas of her own on
the subject, and, although she knew,
both from experience and the unwrit-
ten laws of country courtship, that he
would call for her on this particular
evening, she accepted an advance invi-
tation from young and handsome
druggist who had opened store in a
neighboring village.
When Harlow reached the farm
house, he blanketed his horse and rap
ped at the door. He was met by Mrs.
Burnham, and in response to his in
quiry for Mary was told that she was
in her room dressing for the olio.
"Well, 1 have just come to take her
If she wants to CO." he said, with a,
bashful laugh.
''But she has promised to go with
Mr.. Eakins, the druggist" replied the
mother, "and she is expecting him ev-
cry minute now"

low.

mo, but thought Then he stop
ped, for he recognized that the mother
was on the side of his rival. After
painful pause he turned without saying
a word and left the house.
Leaping into his cutter, the disap-
pointed lover lashed his horse to his
utmost speed and started home. He
swept along the still road like whirl-
wind and seemed to find relief from
his outraged feelings in the headlong
haste of his driving. His first i'm
pulse was to let the fair jilt go her way
without protest, but after time his
disappointment overcame his rage, and
he longed wildly to see Mary. OF
course he could not hope to speak to
her at the olio. but he could at least

CARS FOR EUROPE.

France and Russia May Place Heavy
Contracts With American Builders.
It is said to be probable that car con-
tracts to the amount Of $4,000, 900 may
soon be placed in the United States.
The orders will come from the French
and Russian governments. The French
contracts are said to be worth in the
aggregate $3,5OO,000 and to include
5000 freight cars, while those Of the
Russian government, it is said, may
reach total of $6,00O.00O, says New
York dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press. The unprecedented activity Of
the American car building trade Is
shown by the fact that, according to
Vice President Coleman of the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry company, orders
were recently booked in one week for
cars to the value of 100000.
William =. Mcmillan of Smith, Nc
MILAN & Co. of Philadelphia and Lon
don, the firm which handles the ex-
port trade Of the American Car and
Foundry company, has arrived from
Europe, and in speaking Of the export
trade he said: 'Overtures have been
made in an indirect way by the Rus
sian government for the American Car
and Foundry company to supply not
less than 5000 freight cars.
'The cars will be made Of wood and
iron. Two hundred combination dining
cars are also required. Should the deal
be completed it will mean an expendi-
ture of $4,000,0O0. The cars are de-
sired for the Transsiberian railroad,
which is being completed rapidly.
''The Russian government also sug-
gests that the American company con-
struct large plant at some convenient
point on the Transsiberian route for the
purpose Of erecting the cars, which
would be shipped in sections from this
side. Such plant would also attend
to the necessary repairs from time to
time"

A Unique Obituary.

The New York Mail and Express
contained an editorial article on the
death of. Vice President Hobart which
differed in one respect from all the
many other articles on the same sub
ject printed in the newspapers Of the
country. The article was written by a
man who was dead at the time it was
printed. Mr.. Robert G. Alexander, the
editor Of The Mail and Express, COM
posed an editorial on the vice president
when it was first thought the latter
was at deaths door, says the Kansas
City Journal. Mr.. Hobart rallied, how
ever, and Mr.. Alexander was suddenly
stricken and died before his article be-
came available, preceding to the other
world the man whose obituary he had
penned. 1t is most striking example
of the uncertainty of life and death.

There is no deception in anything

skin off your hands just as if it was
redhot! Stop it, or you'll have your
fingers frozen Off"
Unstrapping the broken shafts from
the horse, Harlow prepared to bind
them with his halters, but while he
worked the cold again began to i'm
press itself on him, and he decided to
take things in his own hands.
''Herew he exclaimed. "You two get
into my cutter and get home as quick
as you can! don't'want you to freeze
to death even if you are fools enough
to do it!'
NO" said Eakins sullenly. 'T won't
take your cutter" :
"But say you willp' roared Harlow,
who had changed suddenly from a
country pumpkin to domineering bull
ly. "You get into that cutter right off,
or I'll give you warming up that will
take all the cold and conceit out of
you! Here, Mary, you get in .frst~
And before she could enter protest he
had picked her up in his arms and
placed her in the cutter. There was
nothing for Eakins, to do but to obey,
and he sneaked in after her.
"Now drive for your lives" he shout
ed to them, Or you will freeze to
DEATH! When. they had started, he
hurriedly patched the wrecked cutter
SO that it would hang together and,
urging the horse to a gallop, started

'Keep slapping your hands togetn-
err" he shouted as he whirled past
them, "and rub your ears and noses if
you feel them getting numb! 1 am
going ahead to get things ready for
you at the house"
he was really alarmed for their safe
ty and was so disturbed that he forgot
to be angry. When he reached the
farmhouse, he reused Mary's father
and mother, and they prepared thor
ough winter reception for them. They
got several pals of dry snow with
which to rub out all frostbites and set
thick blankets to warm before the fire.
When Mary and Eakins reached the
door, they were so stiff with the cold
that they almost had to be carried into
the house, and it took an hour to thaw
them out. When the task was finally
accomplished, Mary's father made
some vigorous and appropriate re-
marks about fools who would go cut
ter riding without knowing how to
handle a horse, and Harlow went
home.

and cut in so close that his horses
hoofs kicked shower Of snow in their
faces. OF course it was not a polite
thing to do, but this burly countryman
had never studied any work on deport-
ment, and he laughed derisively as he
called Good night"
Mary knew that the snow shower
was not so accidental as it seemed, and
she said angrily to Eakins, "The idea
of letting him pass you with that old
farm plug Of his when you have the
fastest horse in the liveryw
This reused him, and he replied that
he would pass Harlow in return for his
impudence. Disentangling himself from
the, robes, he got free sweep for his
arm and surprised the old horse with
several stinging cuts Of the whip. The
horse started off on gallop, and they
were soon rapidly overhauling Harlow.
But a cutter, next to bicycle or a ca
noe, is one of the most skittish things
to which foolish man is accustomed to
intrust his life. It is built as lightly as
possible, and, so that the horse can
travel on a beaten path, is practically
drawn by one corner. These things
work together to give it jerky motion
when driven at high speed that tends
to bring out all its weaknesses and dis
agreeable features. In the hands of an
expert driver it is dangerous enough,
but for novice to try bursts Of speed
with one is simply to court disaster.
But Eakins was so angry that he no
ticed nothing except that he was rap
Idly overtaking his rival, and he gave
the horse another vicious cut. The star
tied animal bounded sideways, one Of
the runners struck snow covered
bowlder, and the cutter went over.
There was sharp crash as the shafts
broke, and moment later the horse
had torn himself free from the wreck
and was galloping along the road.
When he caught up with Harlow and
tried to pass him, that worthy realized
in an instant what was the matter,
and, springing from his seat, he caught

One evening ABOUT the middle OF FeO-
ruary VIII Harlow harnessed his road
ster to his new cutter, specially pur-
chased for purposes Of courtship, and
drove through the frosty moonlight to
scaIl on Mary iBurnham, a.country CO.
quette with whom he was desperately
but bashfully in love. He had progress
ed so far with his wooing that he was
not afraid tc be seen in public with his
idol, and on this occasion he was pre-
pared to go the length Of taking her to
an olio that was to be given in coun-
try schoolhouse about five miles dis
tant. He had made no arrangements
with her for the outing, for, like all re-
tiring backwoodsmen, he considered
his attentions a declaration of love

ment.
W. B. Millar, secretary of the inter-
national committee of the Young Mef s
Christian association, was notified re-
Gently that a branch of the association
had been organized on board the Unit
ed States cruiser Brooklyn. The branch
was formed in midocean, while the
cruiser was on its way to REINFORCE
the command of Rear Admiral Watson
at Manila, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. The news was sent
to Mr.. Millar from Gibraltar.
The members Of the naval branch re-
ceive tickets which will be recognized
at any branch at which the sailor pre-
sents it. Branches have been estab-
ished at the navy yard in Cavite, in
the Philippines, and in Guam. When
the war and navy departments deter
mined to garrison the island Of Guam,
the international committee realized
that the men detailed there would have
a dreary time Of it unless some steps
were taken to interest them while off
duty. Mr.. Millar communicated with
Secretary Long and was, informed that
the navy department would be pleased
to have an association established in
the island and would furnish transpor-
tation for the Y. NJ. @. A. representa-
tive and stores.
Major Kelton, an experienced Y. M.
G. A. worker, was selected to go with
the expedition which sailed under
Lieutenant Leary. The members Of the
committee are expecting excellent re-
suits from the branch established at
this point, as the men detailed to duty
on the island are practically shut off
from the rest Of the world and will
consequently appreciate the books,
magazines and games sent by the COM
mittee. Mr.. Millar is now preparing
for second shipment Of magazines
and books to this station. Only two
mail steamships stop at the island in
each year. Besides the regular line Of
equipment Major Kelton has 100 base
balls, 100 baseball bats masks, gloves
and protectors, footballs, handballs,
fencing foils and apparatus for out Of
door athletics, which the garrison will
be allowed to use.
The work among the American sol
diers and sailors has already attracted
the attention of foreign countries, and
at the outbreak Of the South African
war the British authorities brought
the matter to the attention of the 7.
M. G. A. authorities in London. 1t was
taken up Immediately and after ex-
amining the system adopted by Mr..
Millar in the American army the men
in charge of the Y. NJ. G. A. work in
England adopted practically the same
plan used on this side and sent A. b.

troubles he had caused himself could
not hope to progress with his lovemak-
ing. and he dropped out.
A few days later Mary sent a peni-
tent little note to Harlow, and he came
back to her, bashful and awkward as
ever. But she knew something of his
mettle from the way he had command
ed her and Eakins at the time of the
upset, and she waited for him to assert
himself again. A few evenings later
they went to another olio, and there
were no accidents to mar their pleas
ure. In fact, they got along SO well
that it was decided that Mary should
go through life with the protection Of
the strong arm that supported her so
cozily during the drive, for Harlow
could not only drive well. but he could
do it with one hand.

and state that Ferdinand Schlessinger,

would be wise to do so also.
