It may be well to say at this point tina

Another feature which ls regarded b.
many as an index to the character Of
horse Is the color of its coat, some be-

while gray horses often get the credit o.

along this line has not led US to believ}
that there is any reliance whatever Il

a theory. 1t is also cOntended that colo;

animal when exposed to the suns rays
especially In the summer season, but on
observations have not demonstrated thi
truth Of this SuppOSitlon, as Il has beef
clearly shown time and again that darl
horses are able to do Just as much Worl
without showing fatigue as those OF
lighter color. This may be accounted fol
by the fact that the coat Is a nom cons

probably makes little difference what coll

ing at $3.50, on his way to Wimbledon,
where he lives"
But his town house is in Arlington
street. Cabinet ministers do not live in
Wimbledon"
Perhaps Monsieur B. has an ap-
pointment.
"An appointment which he keeps at 4
o'clock every morning! Are you sure
that you know the man?'
II have no doubt at all. I have looked
often on mis- devilish face In the house,
and at his pictures in Punch 1t is the
man
"Ah. well! Tomorrow he must not
keep the appointment, and madame-or
is 1t MISUNDERSTANDING be disappointed
1t pierces my heart to be SO impolite, but
the call Of duty is urgent"
Mr.. Weeks walked easily across the
bridge; he had no need to hurry. 1t was
a pleasant morning, and, though quite
dark, there was a smell of dawn in the
air Few people. except Journalists and
night cabmen. know how fresh London
smells when the working life is almost
still. Early risers have the opportunity
Of knowing, but they are too full of
sleep to be observant.
At the Surrey end of the bridge a broad
fight of stone steps leads down to the
river. At the top is an iron railing with
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-05-13

an open gate. AS Mr.. Weeks passed the
open gate his hat fell off. He stopped to
pick it up, and something struck him
violently Under the chin. Then many
hands seized him. He did not struggle
but instantly whipped out the police
whistle which he always carried. The
mouthpiece was between his teeth, and
this story had nearly been spoiled, when
a hard substance-it was a rnan's wrist
bone-grOund into his windpipe. The
whistle sighed ineftecrively, and Mr.
Weeks was carried down the stone steps.
At the foot a small steam launch lay
rocking. She was smartly fitted Up, and
carried the lights of responsibility. Mr..
Weeks was placed on board with tender
ness, his captors followed, and the smart
little launch steamed slowly mp the river
As soon as the vessel started all re-
straint was removed from the victim of
this intolerable assault. His whistle was
taken away, but he was apparently free
to make as much natural noise as he
pleased. Men stood near him, with their
faces decorously turned away. Mr..
Weeks did not shout, because he was
man of intelligence. He gave one look
around and sat down. The businesslike-
almost professionai-air of the boat and
the serenity of her crew impressed him
as no threats could have done. "They
thought, because 1 am entirely in their
power. Oh, confound the idiots!-I shall
lose my train"
He turned to a man beside him, and
spoke hurriedly:
please empty my pockets and take nv
watch. and then set me ashore at Char
ing Cross, so that 1 may catch my train
My wife will be frightened out of her
wits"
Monsieur misunderstands," said the
man. 1t was he who knew the devilish
face Of Mr.. B. I'VE do not want your
money or your watch
but my poor wife,
''Monsieur's wife must be content to be
disappointed. Monsieur need not fear;
We are discreet, and shall not tell how
he failed of his appointment"
appointment" groaned Mr.. Weeks.
''The man Is some foreign ass. He does
not know what English words mean
The launch was running along with
the tide under her, and presently Mr.
Weeks saw the great tower of Westmin-
ster close beside him. He looked up.
The hands on the big yellow clock face
pointed to 3:45 His train was losti
Poor Laura" sighed Mr.. Weeks. "She
will suffer the most horrid anxiety I
would kick these preposterous pirates all
around II were not afraid they would
make my poor girl a widow"
With his train departed also, curiously
enough. great deal of his irritation. The
worst had happened, and Mr.. Weeks
cioaked himself in what he considered to
be philosophic gloom. It was that kind of
unexaoting gloom which permits of per-
sonal enjoyment. Gradually, as one
learning a lesson bit by bit, Weeks be-
came conscious of the extraordinary
beauty of the scene through which he
was passing. The river glittered like a
shivered mirror, and the ribbon of lights
on the Middlesex shore, with their quiver-
ing reflections below, wrapped round the
horizon. The boat moved among leaping
stars, and plunged like circus horse
through hoop Of fire whenever she pass

was lifted onto the pier Then he was
carried for few yards, driven in some
vehicle for few minutes, and carried up
many stone steps. A door slammed, and
he was set down in chair and the cloth
removed
Mr.. Weeks found himself in a comfort
ably furnished room. good carpet COW
cred the floor, art" paper was on the
walls, and an electric lamp glowed over
the bed. The man with whom he had
spoken on the boat stood at his side
You are tired, sir" he said, "and will
be glad to rest. At what hour will 1t
please you to be called?'
"At 1 o'clock" said Mr. Weeks, calmly.
land then send the doctor to me-"
The doctor, monsieur?"
YES replied Mr. Weeks, "the doctor"
He wound his watch. undressed and lay
down. "A spring Mattress" he murmur-
ed 1oyfully; Il suspected feathers" Then
ne fell asleep, so strong is daily habit.
and his last waking thought was, 81 am

When he awoke the tireless watcher
was sitting beside the bed.

man.
Nevertheless 1 will get up" said Mr..
Weeks. And he did so. He was con-
Quoted to a bathroom, where he was
allowed to splash in private; and pres

passage to a morning room

Mr.. Weeks to himself, "and the place

He sat down before an excellent break

took out his pipe and tobacco pouch.

litely.

be less sleekly polite If I tried to bolt"

The man pressed a bell and a servant
in response to an order brought several
! newspapers.
'The Times, the Standard, the Tele-
graph. the Observer, the Post-this is
real luxury" and Mr. Weeks settled
down to a debauch of news.
The afternoon was advanced when q
knock at the door was followed by the
entrance of a rather fine looking mani

was dressed quietly and well, like an

it is out OF the question. so passengers
and mail are driven across country. Who
ever has the contract for carrying the
mail feels that he Is certain of all the
passenger trade, for no one has yet had
the courage to compete for passenger
business with the United States mail
carrier. For this reason the transfer
of the mail is deemed valuable priyiI-
ege.
Every four years the postoflce Depart
ment contracts to lowest bidders for
transfer Of mail sacks. Last year there
was the liveliest competition ever known
for the Dodgeville-M Mineral Point con-
tract. Several different men slgnihed
their intention of going into the contest,
and the talk was kept up until each
bidder knew he would have to go pretty
low to get the prize. The man who
then held the contract had been receiving
about $40 per year for carrying the mail
It is said that when the bids for the new
contract were opened in Washington It
was found that the three lowest offers
for carrying the mail per year were l
cent, 80 cents and $3.50. Frank Lynch,
being the 1-cent bidder, was awarded
the contract for four years.
