Antonio st. Marc started to his feet;
twice he attempted TO speak, but both
times he stopped and thought. At length,
however, he said:
San Renito, you asked me what made
that mark upon my temple. 1t was Jilok
Tudel did it! Irene has fed, and he
charged me with aiding her off. He
struck me when / was unprepared, and

ST. Mare sat down at once and wrote
the challenge-brief, pointed and fiery
and having sealed it he gave it to San
Benito, who promised to, deliver it that
very evening.
'.Wait, wait" said the host, as his Wis

These propositions were agreed TO; So two

and he drew the shortest piece.

As the last word sounded Rpon the air
ST Marc fired. Tudel uttered a quick,
low groan. and instinctively placed his
hands to his left breast.

Queer Food for Horses.

| have found that the addition Of a
pound of fair quality OF moist brown
sugar to horse feed Of chaff and corn
doubles its work producing power and
that, therefore, the ordinary feed may
with this aid be greatly reduced in
weight without propertionally reducing
the efficiency of the animal getting 1t.
When no other feed is obtainable few
pounds of flour, mixed with enough
water to make them easily drinkable

time been made accustomed to 1t.
have known horses, when there was
little grass, habitually rob the camp Of
fresh, salt or dried meat. 1t is even
more certain that no horse would touch
flesh unless at some time accustomed
to it.
What strange food graminiyorous an
imals will eat when habituated to 1t is
almost beyond belief In Iceland horses
and cattle are frequently fed on dried
fish. / have known sheep eat meat,
fruit bread, pastry and the like and

are very heavy. They are made
of all great-coat materials and usually
are lined with some cosy long-haired fur
that shows at the edges and makes a big
collar. These great collars often are
detachable, and when one with cuffs or
mutf to match is applied to modest
great-coat the garment takes on a queen
" look Corduroy fur trimmed is excel
lent and very stylish. but it brushes cas-
lily. The real thing, however-that is, the
all-fur garments away above che art
of imitators The one sketched here was
broad-tail finished with Russian sable
and Persian lamb is seen in similar gar
ments. For promenaders such are dread
fully out of place, because they are dig
nifed enough to call for whole pro-
cession Of carriages.
The square box coat to the heels, of
lightweight covert or kersey, is the popu-
lar garment. 1t is made up Ia light
weight interpreted stuffs and serves all
possible needs Waterproofed fabric is
always very warm, the process that keeps
out water usually keeping out wind, too.
Where the covert is not treated in this
way the coat may be worn frankly over
a knit under jacket. For all sporting
occasions such a coat is just the thing
and the winter tramper and golfer espe
cially affect the style. Empire coats, with
deep yokes are developed along dressy
lines and in lightweight stuffs. The
sleeves are too close at the shoulders to
permit their being slipped on with entire
ease, and that is a pity, but they are
otherwise we'll adapted for wear over
dainty dresses. They are made of deli
cate putty color, pale gray and such
shades, and lined handsomely that they
may be suitable for wearing to the the
alter over handsome dresses. There is
a fancy for ornamenting such coats with
stitching, or even embroidery, and some
handsome effects are accomplished in APP
plique work Two empire coats appear

broadcloth was the material Of the one
