A Gypsy Trick.
From Outing

1t is to be presumed that day or so be-
camp not far away a broken-winded and
weather-beaten plug of a horse worth, per-
haps. six pounds in open market. Then be-
gan such grooming, clipping, polishing
and doctorng as must rank among the fine
arts. Name and tail were miracles of braid
ing. interwtined with fresh straw and fetch
ingly beribboned. Into the crowded village
was led a mettlesome and shining steed,
carefully escorted, too valuabl forsooth to
be put up for sale. After the horse was tied
near a popular public house, three or four
rustics strolled up to the owner of the
They looked the bargain over, shook their
heads in disappointment that no dickering
was possible, and drifted into the tap room
of the pub Presently other farmers
pricked up their ears and wanted to see the
horse. And SO it went on until the cleverly
bunch of 'ruStfcs' had created strong I'M
dercurrent of interest setting toward the
transformed plug
The first show of cash came from among
these masquerading farmers, whose identity
lurked only in the midnight eye and shifty
glance with the true gypsy slant in the cor
ner of it, And after hours Of palaver over
many mugs of beer, 1t was one of these
"made-up" Hodges who closed the deal,
bought the horse and paid for 1t in ostenta-
ttous soverefgns. The genuine farmer for
whom the bait was cast, could not with
stand this evidence of a rare bargain -
and was the more eager now that 1t had

fered bonus of pound, to let go of his
purchase, held out for two and got it. and

the applicants color sense in lights is in
deed perfect.
But If the applicant thinks that he Is
through with colors when the curtains are
raised he Is very much mistaken. A bunch
of signal fags--white. red. green biue-that
have seen service on the road and are grimy
and diYnmed in color are handed him and he
must name off correctly each and every flag
as often as called upon. if he would get the
job he is after.
Then the examiner lets down the lid of a
rack, exposing to view a score or more of
various delicately colored skeins of yarns
hanging from a rod. and it is up to the APP
pIicant to name off each color and shade
without hesitation and to sort the various
skens into proper piles regards color.
This is, perhaps. the severest part of the
color test. Men fail miserably here who
have easily distinguished lights and flags.
Not long ago a man who had been look
out in the navy could not sort out the
skeins, and so failed OF becoming railroad
man.
Finally the applicant is again led to a
window.
What is the color of that roof yonder?"
he is asked
Slate COLOR is the answer.
"And that woman's dress-that one who is
crossing the street,

This is the applicants final ordeal; hav-
