the very first thing in the morning.
he said, "and it's my opinion that we should
stay where we are. They will believe that we
would go as far away as possible, and for
that reason this would be the last place they
would search"
But all of our provisions are at the har-
bor"
Eyes, and I am going after some tonight"
The others made decided objections against
separating the party again.
They argued that Bob might meet some of
the men, and his safety would demand that
he should go in another direction, or that
unforeseen circumstances might arise which
would render it unadvisable for him to return
that night. If they were all together, they
could act upon the events of the moment,
which might be of great advantage
They were so earnest in their opposition
that Bob was forced to give way to their
wishes. After remaining in hiding about two
hours, they started for the harbor, working
their way slowly in the darkness over to the
west beach, and then following up the shore
Just within the shadow of the bushes where
a glimpse of the water now and then would
prevent them from going astray.
1t was past midnight when they started
and yet not breath of air was stirring. The
night was oppressiyely hot; the surf rolled
up on the shore sluggishly, hardly breaking
reefs.
Now and then lurid flash of lightning
would rend the heavens asunder for an in
slant; but no peal of thunder followed
During the slow, tedious walk they heard
no sound to alarm them, and when they ar
rived at the shore of the harbor nothing, so
far as they could see, betokened that the men
had visited the place
The dinner Percy had prepared for Dudley
yet remained on the stove, the partially con-
sumed ham was near by, and after a long
search, owing to the difficulty of distinguish
ing landmarks in the darkness, the water cask
was found.
The ham and biscuit the boys could take
with them, and they were discussing the pos
sibility of carrying the cask nearer their hid
ingplace, when Dudley unearthed a quar-
bottle from the ashes OF the bedding.
"That's the very thing!" exclaimed Bob,
will last us all day tomorrow if we are econom-
ical."
s1I suppose it's what you call another piece
of good fortune" Percy remarked, as he be-
gan to wash the bottle.
AFT comes pretty near it; but"
Rob was interrupted by a startlingly vivid
fash of lightning that illumined the kew and
Surrounding waters so brilliantly as at noon
dav for a second, and then as it died away
a most violent crash of thunder followed
| causing the air to reverberate until il seemed
as if the island was being shaken to its very
| G. tire.
The heavens which had shone in the dark
ness as with hue Of brass, were now black
| "a ink and from far away over the sea came
a moaning sound as if the spirits of the air

day trOt OF the tOx IN his native hauntS
and which he will maintain hour after
hour, to the despair Of the most ardent
hunter. 1t is the two-beat trot reduced
in point Of speed-but also with a
popularity. While the diagonally op,
posite legs move in pairs, there is a
shortening Of the extensions, resulting
in a peculiar rhythm of what sounds
like a one-two, one-two recurrence.
Another characteristic is that the
hinder parts Of the horse feel as
though slightly elevated and cause the
sensation to the rider of his being
tilted forward in a small degree.
''The slow pace is the gait par ex-
cellence for ease and comfort. In
this, as in the pace, the two side legs
move in union, and the result is
smooth, even effect on the rider,
wholly devoid of jolt or jar. In the
fast pace, however, there is too much
of the rolling motion for great COM
fort. This brings us, then to the rack.
This is a fast gait and may be said
to be between a pace and trot. 1t
is considered an easy gait to ride, no
matter how great the speed. The rider
sits fast in the saddle, simply .hepling
to maintain his equilibrium by carry
ing the weight OF the legs in the stir
rups. A person can ride as far as
he could ask horse to go at fast
gait on the rack without any fatigue
or effort In point Of ease and COM
fort to the rider the running-walk and
the fox-trot are akin in that they are
wholly pleasurable This considera-
tion of the slow gaits brings promi
nently to mind the fact that there are
really two sorts of saddle horse. The
slow gaits and the rack are character
istics distinguishing one sort from the
other They have given rise to
saddle horse called the gated horse,
as distinguished from what it known
as the walk, trot, and canter saddle
horse The term used in connection
with each of these horses characterizes
their Abilities"
Possibly some Of you may think that
so many automobiles, trolly cars, ETC.,
will make the demand for horses much
less That has been shown, by expert
ence, to be an unnecessary alarm.
This is very clearly stated in the fol-
lowing article from Farm and Ranch:
Will the Horse Go?-About a dozen
or more years ago when electric street
| railways were rapidly replacing the
mule car, cable car and all other forms
Of motive power, I heard a farmer,
whom I had known from earliest child
hood, say that it. was an outrage that
electricity was disp1acing horse power
on street railways farmers would
soon have no market for their horses
and that the use of electricity for that
purpose should be prohibited by law;
bu. the change went on until now I
don't know whether there is horse or
mule pulling a car in the whole coun-
try If there are any they are ex-
ceedingly few

into very general use in our cities,

from one to four colts annually This
they can do at comparatively little out
lay, and with the proper development
OF the business buyers will come more
directly to their doors. In view Of the
keen competition in markets and the
comparatively small profits obtained
from many other forms of animal in
dustry as practiced at the present time,
the breeding Of draft horses is worthy
of careful consideration at the hands of
farmers.
Draft horses are large animals built
for hauling heavy loads and not for
speed. But there are other kinds which
are also in demand and which will also
pay we'll for care in breeding. In these
classes it is not always size that brings
the best price, as will be seen from an
item from the American Horse Breed
er:
Quality Before Size.-It has fire.
quently been asserted that quality is a
more important factor than size in de-
term1ning the market value Of a horse.
This was strikingly illustrated at an
auction sale of saddle horses in New
York City in the I'd inst There were
% animals sold, and the smallest one
Of the lot, the bay gelding Little Acorn,
only II 1 1-2 hands high, brought
81 ,250, which was the highest price paid
for any OF the offerings, and 225 more
than was paid for the 16-handbay geld
ing Big Oak, that brought 81 ,O25.
The amount received for the % head
was S13,9S5, an average Of about S6OS.
There were four in the lot whose
heights were AL 1-2, 14-2, 1913, and A.
3 hands respectively The prices which
they brought were ST 1.250, 5000, $675,
and $500, respectively, total Of s., ,425,
or an average of $S5625 per head
There were four in the lot that stood
16 hands each and the prices obtained
for them respectively were 81 ,O25, $500,
$3.50, and $500, a total Of $2,905 for the
four, which is an average OF $72625
per head This is $13O less per head
for the 16-hand horses than was re-
ceived for those that were only 14-3
hands high or under
Buyers are becoming more critical
every year Those horsebreeders who
recognize this fact and aim to produce
quality, beauty and style, as we'll as
will find the business much more profit
able than those who breed for size
alone, regardless OF the more valuable
qualities. Size is desirable attribute,
but unless combined with quality it will
not command much more money in the
sale ring, hence it is poor policy for any
breeder to sacrifice quality for size.
The demand for good saddle horses has
never been better in the New York
City market than it is this season, judg-
ing from the reports of the dealers
there and prices obtained for good ami
mails
One class of horses for which an in
creasing demand is found in all large
cities, is the saddle horse The follow
ing account Of the American saddle
horse is taken from Wallace's Farmer:

On the gaits of the saddle horse
Herbert J. Krum, writes:
Until within the past two years
the gaits requisite to be shown for
registration by performance we're:
First, walk; second, trot; third, rack !;
fourth, canter; and fifth, either (a)
fox trot, (b) running walk, or (c) slow
pace, and five were essential. The
walk and canter are natural gaits with
all breeds of horses We find that in
walking a horse really lifts his feet
one at time but that the extensions
of the front near and off hind foot are
made so nearly together as to convey
the impression Of moving in pairs. 1t
may be observed here that by the ear
and not by the eye is the only true
way to observe the succession Of
movement in horse In the trot the
diagonally opposite feet strike the
ground together, resulting in two
beat sound. In the pace the fore and
hind leg on the same side are extended
together; two-beat gait. I think the
word rack is a misnomer It is at
best a colloquialism, or, perhaps bet
ter, lOcalism. In the authorities the
words rack, pace, and amble are prac-
tlcally synonymous, and none have the
sense Of Our use Of them However,
as used by horsemen, the word rack
means the same thing as the term
'single-foot,' which I prefer on the
ground of expressiveness. Single-foot,
that is, each foot striking the ground
singly, aptly and truthfully tells the
story of this four-beat gait to the ear
While the impulses arise almost in
pairs, as in the pace, yet the extension
Of the hind legs are retarded suffi-
ciently as to alternate with the fore
legs, giving the rapid one-two- three
four sound peculiar to this gait The
slow pace differs from the pace in
point OF speech The canter is the slow
form Of the gallop or run. The per-
lection Of a canter is measured not
by it's speed, but by it's slowness. The
mass is propelled by one hind foot,
the other three feet striking the
ground practically together and the
impelling foor following after. Never
theless, the legs on each side move in
pairs This leaves us the running walk
and fox-trot for consideration
"The running-wal1< is a slow gait;
faster than a walk, not so fast as a
trot or rack. An extremely exagger-
ated walk in point Of speed comes
very nearly being accurate. But there
is peculiarity about it, too. In this
gait a horse moves forward with SEEM
ingly very little leg motion. The knee
action is next TO nothing. and. on the

the auto and the palace car. In
Sparsely settled regions, where roads
are poor and horseback travel is
necessity rather than a pastime, there
arises imperative need of horse cap
able Of covering long distances with
the minimum Of fatigue to himself and
the maximum Of ease and comfort to
his rider. Such conditions and such
need existed in the South more than
half a century ago, when, out Of the
exigencies of the situation, was
evolved the progenitor Of that splendid
type known today as the American
Saddle Horse
Back in the days when Kentucky
was growing into statehood, the
pioneer settlers began to bring into
the region destined subsequently to
become the most notable equine
nursery in the world two classes Of
horses-the Virginia thoroughbred and
half-blood and the PAGER from Canada.
A cross of these breeds resulted in the
production of very useful type, en-
dowed with intelligence, endurance,
ease Of movement under the saddle,
and some degree Of beauty qualities
which by judicious breeding have been
perpetuated and enhanced until, in
their descendants of the present day,
the ideal is nearly approached Gen.
John B. Castleman, president Of the
American Saddle Horse Breeders
Association, fixed the origin of the
American saddler at a period antedat
ing by ten years the foundation Of
the trotting family, when the thor
oughbred stallion Denmark, sired by
Imp. Hedgeford, was brought into
Fayette county, Kentucky. The sons
Of this great sire became the progen-
itors of the Southern saddler, nine
tenths or more of the present famous
Denmark strain tracing to Gaines
herence to type there was established
family notable alike for utility, fin
ish, and beauty, and as distinctive in
gaits, manners, and conformation as
is the standard horse. From his thor
oughbred ancestry the saddler derives
his fineness of conformation, game
ness, courage, and quality, while from
the humber unpedigreed strain from
which he springs he inherits the abil-
ity to acquire the gaits peculiar to his
class-the result being type adapted
alike for pleasure riding, for long dis
tance travel, and for cavalry service,
it having been repeatedly demon
strated during the civil war that the
saddle-bred horse possessed powers Of
endurance superior to those of other
types.
''For the Improvement and extension
Of this notable type there was organ
lied at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1891,
the National (now the American) Sad
die Horse Breeders Association, and
register, similar to that of the Thor
oughbred and the trotting horse, was
established for the gathering of the
blood lines of the breed The task Of
laying a basic foundation upon which
to build in the registration Of saddle
stock involved vast amount of labor
and research. The material at hand
