HORSES STRANGE DIET.
When Fodder Gave Out In Ladys NTH
She Ate the Mattress.

"hCh Oub III lAuy
She Ate the Mattress.
An amusing and at the same time
pathetic story is told of a horse that
survived the terrible siege of Lady
smith. This particular mare was a
great favorite with her master, and the
first three weeks of the siege Jared
not so badly considering the peculiar
circumstances; but, alas. Mary's mas
ter was called away, as an engineer
to erect a bridge, and during his alb
sence from home his valued friend
was stolen. Five sad weeks passed and
he began to think she must have fallen
into the hands of the Beers. However,
on reaching home one evening, there
she was waiting outside her stable, thin
and tired. but delighted to be home
again, little dreaming what anxious
times were still in store for her. One
fateful day the authorities gave orders
that no more "mealies" must be given
to the stock. Fodder was comman-
tleered for the military horses, and the
day broke at last when there was abso-
lutely not mouthful for poor Mary.
Her master arose that morning, sad
and perplexed for her breakfast. But
he suddenly remembered that his wife
had made new straw mattress and
two pillows just before the siege be-
gan. No sooner said than done. The
latter were ripped open AND Mary had
her novel breakfast. Later on the bed
met with the same fate, and they saved
Mary's life, or probably "Chevreuil'
would have been her end. She is now
well and lively.

quies they had been present.
The train was a special and consisted
of an engine and one car. At the point
at which the collision occurred there
is sharp curve in the road, and the

| speed, the occupants unconscious of
! any impending danger. AS the bus
swung around the curve the engine
and car came in sight. MRDLU
and car came in sight 1t was too
late to stop either the omnibus or the
train, and as the driver of the former
whipped up the four horses to cross
the track ahead of the train the latter
crashed into its middle. The occupants
were thrown in all directions, bruised
and bleeding.s Physicians and spe-

the vicinity state that it is impossible
to hear an approaching train. A pc
culiar feature Of the accident was that
the horses drawing the bus escaped

CHAPTER VIII.

Adrienne Breynton sat alone in her
dainty boudoir. It was July now, and
the dead season in Cairo. Shepherds
was deserted. No longer gay English
and American tourists made the ball
rooms and the verandas ring with
their chatter and laughter.
Adrienne's beautiful face was paler
than usual She looked like one who
had received a heavy blow. So, in
deed, she had. Adrienne did not con-
ceal the truth from herself.
Only week ago the Anglo-Egypt-
ian troops, flushed and triumphant
with their victory at Atbara, had
marched into Cairo to the sound of
victorious music, blaring trumpets and
screaming pipes. The colonel, Adri-
enne's brother, had come to her for
congratulation, and had found her like
ghost, pale and wan.
"You are i'll, Adrienne," he said,
anxiously. when the first greetings
were over. This climate Is begin
ming to tell upon you. You must take
a trip home, and remain there during
the summer months"
Adrienne shook her head. her lips
quigering.
