to give play TO a wit that was once
famous in the great city.
On one occasion a dreary melo-

heroine Of the play, pursued by the
villain. had taken refuge In the house
Of her lover. who, as the hero Of the
play, was Of course at Variance With
his sweetheart's parents. The exigcn.

father, sword in hand and at the head
OF his faithful retainers. should track
the girl to the gates Of the haro's

scared heroine had been secreted

In his most prosperous days he was
the possessor Of a horse, which was
DISTINGUISHED far and near for kick

anxious to sell him.
One afternoon a stranger appeared
and Mr.. Cowell told him Of the horses

manner, but just before the sale was
concluded and just as the stranger
had made up his mind that the horse
was the only one On earth to suit him.
Horatio Wentworth approached the
horse from the opposite side and gave
the animal sharp thrust with his
