The woman's only answer was bow.
She did not even smile, but having eyed
the lovely English girl with a stolid, ex-
pressionless gaze, she turned to show the
way to the house. Now that Eve came to
see it, the garden in which she had pic
tured her meeting with Dick Knight was
rather desolate and neglected, despite the
grateful shade Of the crowding trees.
There was only one dilapidated seat to be
seen, and she began to hope that, after

it, and melancholy fountain and a few

running walk at the command of his rider.
High-school horses are those animals
that have had more than the ordinary
training and are able to do tricks.
Jumpers" are tall. sinewy, sure-footed
and graceful. They must have form. for
good judges of horse flesh are not salts
fed merely to see the horse get over a
fence. A good jumper must get over fence
gracefully.
Although it is true that any horse which
carries weight-allows man TO ride him
may be called a saddle horse, there are
many different kinds of saddle horses and
they are qualified by gait The three ma
tional gaits are the walk, trot and gallop.
But by education the galop may be
changed into a canter. which is performed
by practically the same movements of the
legs. but is a slower gait and much easier
on the rider than the galop. The running
walk. as the name indicates, may be de-
scribed as extremely fast walk.
Perhaps the most satisfactory gait fOr
the rider is the rack, sngle-foot. This is
taught by forcing the horse forward with
the spurs and the same time holding
him back with the curb. In the single-fooi
the horses feet strike the ground separate
ly-at different times. 1t is a snowy gait
but ii is not favored by professional judges

The recent rattle of house and lot by the
Labor Temple committee has created a
great deal of interest in the cherished
apolis which shall be for the exclusive use
of the labor unions of the city. Such hope
has been nursed by the city's labor leaders
for many years. and the efforts and progress
being made by the present committee are
encouraging in the realization of the hope.
Although the rattle was not a financial
success, il went far in advertising the labor
temple movement and bringing il closer to
the hundreds of union men of the city and
State Forty thousand tickets had been
prepared for the rattle and about two-thirds
of them were sold, the net receipts of which
will amount to about $1,000 In view of the
fact that a small fund has already been
created during the past five years, the ad-
ditional amount will bring the fund nearer
sufficient to secure backing from business
men of the city. The object of the labor
temple movement is to raise enough money
to start a fund for the erection of a ten
story building near the center of the city,
which shall be a meeting place for the diff
ferent labor unions, as we'll place for
the holding of conventions and entertain
ments of the labor classes.
COMMITTEES GOOD WORK.
For years there have been Labor Temple
committees working on the plan. Some of
the committees have made progress, some
of them have failed. Members of the Cen
