HARNESS HORSES SPEED.
Fast Time for Present Records Owes Much
to Mechanical improvements.
4'enfurr


In this long and interesting effort to
produce the very best trOtters Americans
have become the most skillful developers
of the speed of harness horses the world
has known, and as drivers they are I'M
equalled. This skill has been assisted by
the ingenious inventors who have con-
trived wagons so light and frctionless
that the weight Il trotter now carries is
not more than sufficient to keep him
steady, and is virtually no handicap at all.
Take two horses of equal speed and har-
ness and shoe and harness one as the
horses of 1850 were harnessed and shod
and the other as those of this year are
turned out, and the horse in the older
rigging would be distanced, while the
winner would scarcely have to extend him
self.
The fast time in the present records
owes much to mechanical improvements,
and much more to more skillful develop
ment and driving than to better breeding
though | do not pretend to deny that GER
tain individual horses have recently gone
faster than any of the oldtimers would
have gone, let the conditions have been
what they might. But the MOrgans, the
Clays and the Goldusts We're reproducing
types. which the standardized trOtters
are not. That they We're types was be-
cause they were rich in that primitive
eastern blood without which no great type
has ever been created or maintained.

Awarding the Prizes.

The official report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury will determine who are en-
titled to prizes A list of the awards, Civ

testant. Any contestant will have two
weeks in which to claim prize in case
mistake has been made against him. By
this plan the contestants themselves prdcti-
cdlly dicdrd the prizes. At the end of two
weeks the prizes will be paid, and no
claim can then be considered.

A Good Investment.

The investment of S., or even much
larger sum. for these guesses is regarded
favorably by many shrewd business men,
The coupons that go with the deal enable
them to get their money back, SO that the
possibilities of the large gain presented by
winning big prize actually cost nothing.
A contest that is absolutely fair and that
is restricted to a comparatively few peo-
pie like this one offers better chances of
gain than Investments in bonds, stocks and
speculative ventures generally.

Washington Nov. 26.-The war depart

governor Of Colorado for1 900 Krag- Jorgen-

equipment for 1000 men. The supplies
will be issued under the provisions Of the
Dick bill for the arming and equipment of

1t is stated at the war department that
ne state of Colorado is merely receiving

st this time because the Colorado militia
has been ordered out by the governor for

districts affected by labor strikes.

relation to the visit of Major General

regrettable to their elders.
1t was natural that the sedate and
dignifed Lawyer Nye should find it
both pleasant and convenient to be
neighborly. and that he sh=u1d make
calls both frequent and regular at the
Carleton villa.
Particularly distasteful to one youth
was the galantry OF Neighbor Nye; to
the bank clerk with small salary, who
devotedly came down from Boston
each Saturday, to pay court to Louise,
and whose heart sank at the sight OF
the solid and wealthy director of his
own banking house, whom he found
comfortably at home with the girl. in
the easy chat of an informal afternoon
upon the shady veranda, state of
bliss which he had been picturing for
himself all the way down in the
crowded, dusty train.
He did not appear we'll, this disap'
pointed Archie Irwin, as he was pre-
sented to the dignified caller, whom
he regarded with sudden hatred and
dlsmay. What chance had he. he ask
ed himself bitterly. against man with
Nye's money, and profession and posi-
ton? Worst of all. Louise seemed
pleased with the attentions of the mid
dle-aSed sutton.
The young mamie was tall and
athletic, and good to look upon, an
Adonis of the Won Bibber type-fell
hack uDon Welcome for entertainment
during his doleful visits to the villa.
The weird child had taken to him from
the first, clinging to him with passion
ate affection, watching his every move
ment with the dumb devotion nf an
| animal.
| Another watched the growing inter
est of Adelbert Nye in the fair young
girl. and tried in vain to ignore the
heart-burnings which it caused.
And yet, why? Leila Carleton asked
herself. Why should she expect the

the auto" one groom called to an
other, and that one to the house serv-
ants.
In truth it might have been his sa-
tanic majesty himself, the way that
elfish child dashed down the drive and
into the street.
The anxious group followed him in
mad haste, but not for long.
They held their breath in horror as
they saw the machine zig gag, then
essay to climb the grassy terrace at
the Carleton villa, ingloriously drop.
ping back; and then, putting and snort
ing, with whirring of wheels, dash
backward across the road and over
the offset, down upon the rough cob
bles of the beach.
The child lay very still as they res
cued him, seeming to take his mishap
as matter of course.
When they picked him up his left
arm hung limp and there were sundry
smudges and burned places upon Ns
face; for the Corsair had taken fire,
and was no longer the dainty floral
thing which it had been left as the tri.
umph of womanly artistry.
ANY other child would have been
killed." was the verdict of the physi-
clan who had been summoned in hot
! haste-a familiar verdict enough to
all who knew Welcome Nye and his
escapades.
1t was Archie Irwin who had tender.
ly lifted the little figure from under
the wrecked machine, and to whom
the child had chung with passionate
affection; but after they had taken him
to the veranda of the villa he had sud.
denly stretched out his uninjured arm
to Mrs. Carleton, and had begun to
sob and cry in paroxysm which
amazed them all, since repentance and
Welcome were won't to be as bitter
| strangers.

twins had married; and Leila-his
Leila-was eked a youthful grand
mother!
He paced the gravel path in the
moonlight, while the odor Of his cigar
mingled with the fragrance from the
tangle of old-fashioned cinnamon roses
by the gate; and memory went back
other farewell-an affectionate fare
we'll, he remembered. as his cheek red
dened, he to return to college, the girl
to go to q SNOWY finishing school
abroad, where her ambitious mother
had married her to some beefy Eng
ishman whom Adelbert had always
hated on principle.
And she is 10000 times more fas-
cinating now than she was then! That
sweet September day when we gath
cred the gentians by the pasture ditch
-genitians no bluer than her own
dear eyes," he murmured. with a
strange accession of sentimentality.
"Ah, after all, age is but relative
term! And the fountain of perpetual
youth is not so tabled as one might
dream. Yet lovely as Leila is, she is
no whit lovlier than is that sweet
child her daughter, the pretty Louise!
How fortunate that chance should have
made us neighbors."
Meantime. in the seclusicn of her
own bed chamber, Leila Carleton was
standing before the mirror, removing
the jewels which had flashed upon the
f1lmy laces of her handsome dinner
gown.
"Oh, Who would ever, ever expect a
man to be faithful?" she asked her
self, with bitterness, forgetting that
she, too, had been somewhat incon-
slant during the long lapse of years.
AS the days went on. it was a sweet
consolation to Adelbert Nye to have
the sympathy of such neighbor in
his afiiiction-for SO he regarded the
possession of such son. in spite of
his effort to love the uEcanny child
and his care end solicitude for the
boys physical welfare. Leila under
stood, and had pity for him. But it
was a source of regret that the child
had conceived an instant antipathy to-
ward the beautiful Louise, who found
a rare pleasure in teasing the boy,
amazing the young tyrant by declaring
that what he needed Tor both physical
and mental health was an unlimited
dose of Solomon's prescription. To
Welcome, who had never been thwart-
ed OR disciplined during his capricious
life. this was the signal for hatred of
the most malevolent sort; and the two
waged warfare as persistent as it was
