He cursed no one. He did not even
kick stable boy. He just peeled to
his undershirt and went to work. He
stripped blankets and hood from the
wretched Bonfire, grabbed a bunch Of
straw In either hand and began to rub.
1t was no chamois polishing. It was
a raking, scraping, rib bending rub, APP
piled with all the force in Hawkins
sinewy arms. 1t sent the sluggish
blood pounding through every artery Of
Bonfire's congested system, and 1t
made the perspiration ooze from the
ned face of Hawkins.
At the end of forty minutes work
Bonfire half believed ne had been
skinned alive. But he had stopped
trembling and he held up his head.
Next he saw Hawkins shaking some
thing in a thick, long necked bottle.
Suddenly two grooms held Bonfire's
jaws apart while Hawkins poured a
liquid down his throat. 1t was fiery
stuff that seemed to burn its way, and
its immediate effect was to revive
Bonfire's appetite.
Hour after hour Hawkins worked
and watched the son Of Sir Bardolph,
and when the get ready bell sounded
he remarked:
s'Now, blarst you, wen see if you're
goin' to go to heverlastin' smash in
the ring. Tommy. dig out a pair O.
them burs.''
Not until he reached the tanbark did
Bonfire understand what burs were.

deTlo&as
brougham The dispirited bobtail look
ed up as well mated pair pranced
past. Perhaps he noted their sleek
quarters, the glittering trappings on
their backs and their gingery action.
AS he dropped his head again some
thing very like sigh escaped him. It
might have been regret, perhaps it was
only touch of influenza.
The driver, too, saw the turnout and
gazed after it. But he did not sigh.
He puffed away at his pipe as ii en-
tirely satisfied with his lot. He was
still watching the brougham when a
surface car came gliding swiftly
around curve. There was smash of
splintering wood and breaking glass.
The car had struck the brougham a
battering ram blow, crushing a rear
wheel and swapping the steel axle at
the hub.
From somewhere or other crowd of
curious persons appeared and circled
about to watch while the driver held
the pIunging horses and the footman
hauled from the overturned carriage a
man and woman In evening dress.
The couple seemed unhurt and. al
though somewhat rumpled as to attire,
remarkably unconeerned.
"Keb, sir! Have keb, sir?"
The nighthawker was on the scene,
like longshore wrecker, and waving
an inviting arm toward his shabby We
hicle.
The man coolly restored to shape his
misused opera hat, adjusted his neck
tie, whispered some orders to his
coachman and then asked of the night
hawker, Where's your carriage, my
man?'
Eagerly the green coated cabby led
the way until the rescued couple stood
before it. The woman inspected the
battered vehicle doubtfully before step
ping inside. The man eyed the sorry
nag for moment and then said, with
a laugh: Good frame you have there.
Got the parts all numbered p
But the nighthawker was not sensi-
tive. The intimation that his horse
might fall apart he answered only with
a good natured chuckle and asked,
where shall it be? Home, STRIP
"Why, yes, drive us to No.
"Oh, we know the house well enough,
sir, Bonfire and me-
Bonfire! Bonfire, did you say?" In
credulousIy the fare looked first at the
horse and then ait the driver. why,
pom my word, it's old Dan! And this
relic in the shafts is Bonfire, is it?'
Its him, sir; leastways, all there's
left of him.
''Well, III be hanged! Kitty Kit
tyr he shouted into the cab where my
lady was nervously pulling her skirts
closer about her and shifting the to-
bacco laden atmosphere with evident
disapproval. Here's Dan, our old
coachman."
"Really?' was the unenthusiastic re-
ply from the cab.
Yes, and he's driving Bonfire. You
remember Bonfire, the hackney /
bought for you at the Garden the year
we We're married..
Indeed! Why, how odd! But do
come in, Jerry, and let's get on home.
I'm 10000 tired"
Mr.. Jerry stified his sentiment and
shut the cab door with a bang. Dan
pulled Bonfire's head into position and
lightly laid the whip over the all too
obvious ribs. Bonfire, his head bob
bling iudicrously on his thin neck and
his stubby tail keeping time at the 9TH
er end OF him, moved uncertainty up
the avenue at a jerky hobble.
And there let us leave him. Poor old
Bonfire. Bred to win ribbon at the

Just where Broadway crosses Sixth
avenue at Thirty third street is to be
found a dingy, triangular little park
plot in which few gas stunted, smoke
stained trees make a brave attempt to
keep alive On two sides Of the tri-
angle surface cars whirl restlessly,
while overhead the elevated trains rat
tie and shrek. This part of the me-
tropolis knows little difference be-
tween day and night, for the cars new
er cease, the arc lights blaze from dusk
until dawn and the pavements are new
er wholly empty.
Locally the section is sometimes call
ed the cabman's graveyard" During
any hour Of the twenty-four you may
find waiting along the curb a line of
public carriages. BY day you will
sometimes see smartly kept hansoms,
well groomed horses and drivers in
neat livery.
But at night the character Of the line
changes. The carriages are mostly
one horse closed cabs, rickety as to
wheels, with torn and faded cushions,
license numbers obscured by various
devices and rate cards always miss
ing. The horses are dilapidated, too,
and the drivers. whom you will gener-
ally find nodding on the box or sound

has been aptly given.
