Sidney Johnson among the Mormons in

also later came east and fought through

A FierY.EYed Steed.

To overcome the objection that the
automobile frightens horses a western
genius proposes to rob the machine
propelled vehicle of its unusual ap-
parance by placing a hobby horse in
front of it, such as VIII he seen in
the accompanying illustration.
The inventor. with rare acumen, has
torcsoen that this arrangement might
meet with some objection on the part
of the automobilists of the country
and he thinks to atone for any incon-
venience, real or imaginary, by maxi
inc the dummy equine the rectacle
for extra tires, fuel or other essen

be roo disappointed-the best part oil
the entertainment is outside. Get on,
Dutchman, we're getting hungry"
So quiet are the lanes outside the
common upon which the fair is held
that it seems as if every one had
focused in the great center of at.
traction; an when they pull up at a
little waysie inn the landlord comes
out an stares at them as if he thought
they were out of their minds to leave
te fair. But as he recognizes Sir
Heron he smiles inteligently and at a
call from him the landlady makes her
appearance, drops a courtesy and
looks as if she expected them, which
is indeed the case, Sir Heron having
dispatced a groom to announce their
coming and order luncheon.
Delighted as a child at the novelty
and excitement, Carrie ascends the
stairs demurely, but when the dame
ushers them, with innumerable
courtesies, into an old-fashioned room
in which table is spread for lunch
con, Carries feelings are too many
for her and she claps her hands.
The landlady vaguely intimates
that she prepared room for them In
which to remove their hats, but May
declines with prompt firmness they
pitch their hats-much to the land
lady's grief.-on to the stiff sofa ano
unfastening their jackets are ready
for the banquet.
Two minutes afterward Heron's step
is heard bounding up the stairs and ne
nearly knocks his head off at the
low door
"People couldn't have been so tall
when the old-fashioned houses were
built" says Carrie.
COR their heads unscrewed," sug
gests May.
Il hope you're both hungry" he
says, taking his seat an cycling the
substantial fair with that expression
of greedy satisfaction which the male
animal alone exhibits, because l feel
like a wolf Is that a veal and
hammer" nodding at pie.
May, here's chicken and tongue
and a mysterious something that looks
like Drawn. Carrie, I've ordered some
raspberry tarts for YOU"
81 thank you" says Carrie in.
dignantly. Pm not a child. I'll take
some Of the tongue"
"You don't want that, anyhow" he
says. what shall we have to drink?
Oh, bring some nectar" then, as the
alarmed landlady starts and hobs a
courtesy, bring some ale and SOM
champagne-and a bottle Of ginger
beer, and he mods provokingly at
Carrie.
Are you two going to fight all lunch
time?" asks May.
Not minute longer" he says, at
lacking his plate.
They eat an they laugh-especlally
all his eyes steal loving chances at
May, and once or twice his hand finds
out hers under the table and clingS to
1t with an eloquent carees. He is so
happy-is this blase man of the world
that at odd moments he Is startled. II
anyone had propnesied a month ago
that he could find any pleasure bar
amusement, in eating cold veal and
ham pie in country inn in the com
pany of two young, innocent, unworlr
ly girls, he would have laughed that
prophet to scorn.
Leaning back in his chair and look
at the sweet face-his own his very
own--he tries to remember whether
he was ever so happy before, and he
ails-fails utterly. 1t Is not happiness
merely, it is intoxication. Every
movement of the graceful figure,
every heeting expression that irons
from the red ipe mobile lips, chains
