TT WAS evening, an hour after din \ ner, when Henry Sparks, surround. ed by his family, sat at the cleared dining-room table reviewing books Henry is the literary editor of the Daily Breeze. Henry wasn't feeling well that evening, fact that boded i'll for the young woman who had writ ten the new novel, 1.-The Cory Path to Fame,s which Mir. Sparks just then had under consideration. The young est Sparks kid tipped over the ink bot tie. Henry swore. The imPrecation, rather mild one, was intended to De under his breath, but it was heard and the eldest daughter left the room looking grieved, while Mrs. Sparks looked rather more than shocked.
 Henry" she said, you need exer. else. You are irritable and not alto gether proper. Since you've been lit erary editor you've stuck so close to the office and house that your temper has suffered and we have suffered with ii. When you were night police re- porter you were ever so much nicer because you had plenty of outdoor ex- ercise, even if you did keep late hours and come home smelling of station houses. smoke and occasionally whis- ky. Here we are living in sub urb. and if you'd only buy a horse the children and l could drive and you could ride for an hour or two every day, and I know we'd all be happier for it.''
 Eliza said Mir. Sparks, "I know I'm a grouch, and I need exercise, but if you think because I wrote such a learned review of "The Horse Breed CTS Companion" the other day that know anything about horses. you are woefully mistaken. I don't. However I suppose can learn to ride, and if you can find good. gentle horse fairly cheap I'll buy it.''
 Two days later Eliza Sparks flour. ished in her husbands face a circular which she had picked up in a street car. This is the way 1t read:

Inquire of coachman, private stable rear of resi-. dence. 100000 Kenmore avenue"
 "There, Henry" said Mrs. Sparks, ''it's just what we want. Here's kind. hearted gentleman who wishes to place his family horse at great sacri- flee where it will be well treated. There are no elevated trains about here, and so we needn't worry about that. A $1,2O0 horse for $150-why, we actually make more than $1,ooo by buy ing the animal. Let's go around quick. am afraid somebody else will be there ahead of us"
