There are certain things tllat must be
made plain to you.
Mr. Eowser looked around for the
Eat calculating to give her Il glare that
should settle her business for week,
but. failing To find her he descended
to the kitchen and made his way across
| the back yard 10 HE alley. There ac
| found Il boy holding saddle horse. He
Mad asked for Il ,ticl horse. The ami
NAL before him held h~ l"Hd down and
| switched al the HicS with his tail. and
| as the boy saw I:ow>rr looking his
| mount over he nd:
He's as quiet ;> Il shce.,. :'ir. y lit
| tie girl ten years old had him out ysS-
| tcrday afternoon.
! Il hope he itn't too quiet. like IL
| horse with some lif,. III him.
"Not too quiet. Lat just quiet enough
one can see that You are used to
| horses
Mr. Bow<er SMILED with satisfaction
| How the boy could see il he didn't
know. but determined to reward him
| He had arrived ut this &c. rrln:l,alion
said:
You are trying to get up on the
wrong side. sir
Mr.. Rowscr drew his foot from the
! stirrup and Sol around to til" right
| side and at the same time determined
| to do that boy Il mean trick if the
chance came his way.
Rather fat and short legged. sir. but
up you go Don't hit him with the
| spurs until You want him to go. Rides
| like q rocking chair. and his mouth is
| as tender as Il baby's. Are you all
right. sir: Then away YOU so.
| Mr.. BowSer had uttered half Il dozen
yrunls and grown lie9y red in the face
as he drew himself up into the saddle,
! but after the horse had walked slowly
! and steadily down the alley for two
| blocks there tnlHtA Il sense of exhilara
| ton. He had Sieerel around !; coal
! cart. passed Il boy and lodged two ash
| barrels. ANA his confidence WaS high
| Al the end of Two blocks he turned into
| Tie street ami came upon Il crowd of
boys.
Hi. but what's that yelled one.
| "'fhere'S a circus in town." added d
second.
| Gee whiZz. but let's catch it,.
! Mr.. RoWser pu, Oh Il look of dignity.
! 1t might have been good for five min
,l,es but for the action Of one of the
| boys. He threw Il stone and hit the
! horse aud the horse suddenly stood up
on his hind legs and paved the air. 1t
was a periollS moment for Nj Bow
ser. and how he PASSED it he will never
| be able to renlenher. The horse finally
assumed his natural attitude and then
uttered il Whinuy. Then he danced up
and down in sportive mood.
See de old man yrowin' pale" shout
| ed Il red headed boy
He'd give millyon dollars TO he on
| de ground" added one with "A sun
| burned nose.
Say. Gully. why don't YOU hire Il
COW ns'ead?' was flung at Mr.. Bowsel'
| as the horse suddenly bolted.
| He bolted because he wanted to get
somewhere. but as the spurs acci-
dentally struck him he bolted because
he was mad about it, At the first
jump Mr. Bowser lost the saddle. He
didn't lose it as Il man might lose his
dog. but he and the saddle parted.
Their paths divergeu from that time
onward. He was thrown forward ON
the horses shoulders and chung to his
| neck. and away went the equine for
| liberty or death. He chased push carts,
he followed autos. he galloped after
| ice wagons and moving vans. In his
| glee he ran over brick piles and jump
| ed over wiieelbarroW- Some said he
| galloped nine times around a block.
| and some said it was ten. but that was
a matter of small moment At time
most convenient to himself he came a
| sort of double twist and lef, his rider
on Il sand pile and galoped home. Mrs
BOwSer knew nothing of what was
happening She had gone about her
! daily duties. when Il policeman rang
the bell and said to her:
You needn't he at all alarmed. mad

"What about"
| about Mr.. Bowser. They are bring
ing him home, but he isn't hurt much.
He will come to in half an hour or So
! "He--he'-
HE just got off his horse to rest,
ma am, and a building fell on him. No
hurt, ma'am. He'll simply know more
when he gets over it. Fact is, it will
probably do him good. Fine weather.
ma am. Just lay him ON the lounge
and give him time. That's it, Good
day. ma am NJ. QUAD.
