White Lady gave him savage little

day. Il she happened to see him, even
in the distance, she would put back her

Horses rarely forget either benefit
or an unkindness. Mr.. shurtlen had a
beautiful mare, White Lady, a high
spirited and sensitive creature. Ben,
her groom, had never treated her
roughly or given her a cross word, and
White Lady knew bis step and would
whinny with delight when she heard
It.
Mr.. Shurtleff sent Ben one day to
CraiGie, a lonely little railway station
in the midst of the moors. When Ben
came out of the Office he was amazed
not to find White Lady where he led
left her. Gipsy Tim, rough, dark
looking fellow, had mounted her to try
her speed over the moors. White Lady
had never been handled so roughly be-
fore. She reared and plunged with
fright

At the sight of Ben the gypsy fed,
but it was no easy matter to get Lady
out Of the stable. Pilot followed him
readily enough, and so would Lady

had made the first spring at her TO

and snort with terror, crouch almost to
the ground and refuse to move.
Fortunately it occurred to him to tie
his handkerchief over her eyes, and by
doing this, ne coaxed her almost to the

caught sight Of Pilots black head over
Ben's shoulder, and wild with excite

If the mare had not retained so vivid
remembrance Of her old foe, Gipsy
Tim would have had her out of the
burning stable and far away over the
moors before Ben got in, and would
never have been suspected of the theft.

Bill Read on Day Of Introduction
An Unusual Priv
ilege.
hAZlNG BILL IS PASSED
Probable Action of Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce on Court of
Review Feature of Rate Bill
Democrats Will Control.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Knox's
much discussed and long expected rail.
road bill was introduced in the Senate
today and because Of the exceptional
interest of the subject it was accorded
the unusual privilege of reading for
the information of the Sena tors on the
day OF it's introduction. Foraker gave
notice OF a speech wednesday on the
rate question. The remainder of the
day was devoted to a reading of Wash.
lngtons farewell message and a con.
slderatlon OF the hazing bill, which was
passed just before adjournment. The
bill gives the secretary of the navy
authority to dismiss any midshipman
whose presence he thinks is not for the
best interests of the service, but gives
the accused the right to a trial by
courtmartial.
Unlimited speculation is provoked to-
night over the action tomorrow of the
Senate committee on Inter-S State Com.
merce on the Court of Review feature
OF the railroad rate bill. Democratic
members hold the key to the situation,
but at a conference tonight they were
unable to agree. Conservative Repub.
licans declare they will amend the bill
and Clapp and Dolliver continue their
stand against the amendments.
The introduction of the Knox bill
clarified the situation for a time, and
the conservatives it is said are ready
to accept it. They counted on certain
Democratic votes to give them a major
lty, but the hesitaney of these Demo.
Gratis to commit themselves has upset
their plans. The conservatives, it il
said, did not care what amendment was
selected, but urged Democrats to bring
IN some plan. In any event the Demo.
Gratis will 60 into the committee tomor-
row in absolute control of the situation.
