THE RUNAWAY MARE
DY JOHN N. RAFTERY.

Tom Vaughn and Hathaway were citing on a park bench watching the parade of traps, carts, phaetons, carriages, fine horses and automobiles.
 Look. George." said Tom, pointing down the drive as . racy chestnut cob swung into view with . smart cart at its heels and . pretty girl on the box, with know. ing footman beside, her. Look! Thst's the very individual I'm looking for!"
 "You mean the girl or the horse" said Hathaway.
 Did you ever see such knee action!'
 "l can't sxr her knees. and"
 ''She ansles her hooks like pupil of Del sarte."
 Splendid compiexion!" said Georse. star. ing at the girl.
 Perfect manners and plenty of speed!' said Tom, watching the lilly.
 But at that moment puffing, ghostlike automobile swept around the curve. The toppy cob stood stock still for a moment, then bucked into the air like an outlaw bronsho. The girl chung bravely to the reins and brought down her whip with q resounding whack across the filly's back. That was enough. The mettlesome beast swune swiftly toward the bench where Vaughn and Hathaway had been sitting end bolted over it like an lrish hunter ct six-rail fence.
 "A cross-country champion whoa!" Toms unfinished sentence ended in a shout at the horse, for already the cart was on axle end and the girl and her foutman were sprawling topsy-turvy on the grass Hatha- way picked up the bedraggled beauty. but Vaughn seized the plunging animals bridle. The gathering crowd set the cart to rights and in another moment, pale wit h anger and chagrin, and with nasty Thank you" to the crowd, the girl was back on her perch, with the scared footman beside her.
 Now, Whalebone, you imp!' she cried at the horse. and seizing her whip she cut 1t hissing across the pantirg Hanks, so that horse and cart, pretty girl and covering servant went flashing down the road at breakneck speed.
 ''Pd give five hundred to own her." said Tom, gazing after them.
 Her? You mean the girl, of course. I'd give five thousand" drawled Hathaway.
 Bradley, the girl was saying, as they neared home. you must seil Whalebone. She won't ge, used to automobiles"

and respected men are involved in
Mr.. Bri<tow's discoveries that il Is .
matter Of the gssvest doubt IL any
repor, other than an expurgstcd edi-
ton viii be given to the public.
The officials OF the Treasury de-
partment have just rendered decis-
ion which is received with the great
est interest; IL is TO the effect tina,
DR. Crum, appointed by President
Roosevelt collector Of the port Of
Charleston. s. c.. cannot draw any
remuneration Tor his services under
the law. This is due 20 the fact that
Crum's nomination was sent 10 the
Senate and that body failed 20 con-
firm il. in fact, practically voted on
one occasion to report unfayorsbly on
it. IL will be remembered that there
was a manifest desire on the part Of
the Senate to avoid meeting the is
sue squsrely. although the President
sent in the nomination during the
regular aud the special sessions.
Having been virtually rejected by the
Senate, the Treasury Department
has decided that it cannot regard
the Crum nomination as a recess ap-
pOiuiment and only a special act Of
Congress will secure for him the fees
for the time he has served, while he
viii be entitled 20 no emalument un-
al he has been confirmed by the Sen
etc. a most unlikely prospect.
Considerable apprehension has
been caused TO the officials Of the
Postoihce Department by the holding
ny Of negro carrier on rurual
mail delivery route in Tennessee.
the man being warned that the peo-
pie would not permit any negro 10
carry the mail in that section. This
man was appointed because he stood
highest in civil service examina-
ton and the postoflice Department
had no option in the matter. The
route has been discontinued pending
an investigation and it Is alleged
that It the facts are found TO be a.
stated il viii not be reestablshed.
Il is reported that the people Of the
South have determined that no negro
shall carry mail ia that section and
their determination is source Of
anxiety 60 the administration Un-
Ter the law there is gao provision by
which the officials could prevent ed
heated negroes from securing these
positions. provided the negroes pass
highest iu the examinations.
