drawled the man carelessly.
Les see what It's.
The other led the way to huge, splay-
footed bay hitched to a muddy runabout.
That's a sensibler-lookin boss for
wirnmen folks and a farm she said
promptly; but hain't goin' to let that
other critter go for a pucker and a
whistle. There's men enough to like
that rat-tailed, gander-necked kind for

rigs and all.
But the other would not have it that
way. And the next instant the dicker
was in full swing, the crowd standing
around and gravely relishing all the
"swap-talk," the filings and the rallies.
The wizened woman showed herself no
mean antagonist. Her tongue tripped
nimbly, and she evinced as much skill in
running the other horse down as in
running her own up. A half a dozen
times her husband tried to grab her arm
and say something to her, but she drove
him away with bitter contumely.
After a half-hour's pickering with the
owner of the big horse, who at last
settled down to and demanded ten dol
lars boot, she went deep into pocket
in her inside skirt and produced nine
one-dollar bills.
"There!" she snapped waving them
under the mans nose, eff you're goin'
to take them and my rig for old splay-
foot, you want to take up, and take
mighty sudden. That's my last word.
The man reached his curved hand,
scooped in the money as he would catch
fly, and the trade was concluded.
Now, Brad Sparks" said the woman
with brisk determination, you pile your
brogans into that wagon. I'll git you
home and give you a buck-saw an tie
you to a saw-hoss-and if you don't try
to swap that I'll be lucky"
Look here, Liza" cried her husband,

proach in his tones.

style O drivin you've picked up in the
city," she sneered, enraged at his re-
markable attitude
Hold down your hands where they
belong" and she struck him sharply
across the wrists with the cane. He
dropped the reins with yell of pain,
and the horse saw the opportunity for
which he evidently had been watching.
With swish and sweep he hooked his
tail over the reins and leaped
The man shot to his knees and grabbed,
and the entire brush came away in his
hands.
"What did 1 tell your" he yelled,
throwing the tail over his shoulder. It's
false one" He braced his knees against
the dashboard, clutched the hairless
stump and pried manfully. The horse
still gripped the useless reins, went tear
ing down the slope, whirled the wagon
on two wheels into the road leading to
the fairgrounds, and raced through the
gates and out of sight, teams and Shrek
ing people scattering in all directions
The man of the cigar expectorated
calmly and replaced his cheroot. Il

who was staring after the runaway in
amazement.
What kind of hyeny-hoss is that"
she gasped.

tail Ike" said the man, land when he
gifts his tail over the webbins, you can't

The little woman stood with nose in the
air. barking. She still held the cane
aloft in the position in which it remained
when she struck that unlucky blow.
Her face had the expression of an inno-
cent who with a borrowed necromancer's
wand had suddenly precipitated an ava

Slowly the uproar subsidized, and as it

What Habit Does.

Habit is a great thing, even
with the beasts of the field as
we'll as the human family.
Down at the coal sheds they
have an old blind horse they
use in hosting the coal into the
engines. All day long that old
horse goes around in a circle,
hauling up the coal. Saturday
afternoon he was let out in the
yard to eat grass kind of a
Saturday vacation and he sure
went after the grass in good
shape. About seven o'clock in
the evening he was discovered
going round and round in a
circle, the same as he does when
he hauls up the coal. Master
Mechanic Pratt was notified
and sent down to stop "Old
Mike" When the man got to
him it was found that "Old
Mike" was very near tuckered
out, as the evening was hot and
he had been keeping up that
circle for several hours. After
this when "Old Mike" is let out
to grass they will send a man
along to steer him and keep
him from "circling." Habit is
a great thing.
