Rugs in Country Life In America for
July
"The care of fine rug is everything
Just as Thoroughbred racers have lux
airy and affection lavished upon them.
80 thoroughbred rugs should be treated
gently and tenderly. The broom should
be used daily on them, and they should
be swept with the nap. Every third
day, after the sweeping, sawdust that
has been slightly moistened should be
sprinkled over the rug, which should
then be gone over with a carpet sweep
er. Be careful to have the sweeping
precede the application Of sawdust, as
otherwise the moisture viii turn some
of the dust into mud that, caking it
self in the threads, VIII ravel the
fbers. Once each week rugs should be
taken out on the lawn, spread out face
down and then gently tapped gently,
mind-with fat rattan beater.
Fine rugs, like razors- and people,
too-require rest. By no means leave
rugs in use during the summer. When
the warm weather approaches have
them taken up. carefully cleaned and
sent to cold storage. The process Of
cleaning as practiced by experts is as
follows: First all the dust is removed
by the vacuum system; then the rug
is spread on its face, liquid olive oil
soap is poured over the back, and It is
gently rubbed with brush until a
fine lather forms Then the same thing
is done to the face of the rug. After
that warm water is played over the
rug until 1t revives. After the hot
shower, of course, a cold shower fol
lows, and for about an hour on con
crete floor that slants slightly cold
water runs over the surface of the rug
from sprinkIers. Then, In order to take
the water out, the rug Is rolled with
the nap, a light wooden roller being
the tool employed. After which the
rug is spread out ON the roof, face up
for three clear days and nights. Wher
the sunlight has removed the lasi
vestige of moisture the rug is rolled
up with the nap and Is ready fol

They were ten days on the road, ten
delightful days Of irresponsible yaga-
bondism. Sometimes Tim rode on
Chieffain's back and sometimes he
walked beside him. At night they took
shelter in any stable that was handy.
Tim invested in a bride and saddle
tlanket. Also he bought oats and hay
for Chieftain The big Norman fol-
lowed bis own will, stopping to Craze
by the roadside whenever he wished.
Together they drank from brooks and
springs Between them was perfect
cornradeship. Each was in holiday
mood and each enjoyed the outing to
the fullest. As they passed through
towns they attracted no little atten-
ton, for outside of the city 1000 pound
horses are seldom seen, and there were
many admirers of Chieftain's splendid
proportions. Tim had many offers
from shrewd horse dealers.
Eye would, eh? a whole hundred
dollars!" Tim would answer, with fine
sarcasm. Now, wouldn't that be too
much, don't We think? Ny, my, what a
generous mon it Isl Gwan, Chieftain,
er Mister Car-na-gy here II be after
givin' us a lib'ry."
Chieftain, and Tim, too, for that
matter, were nearer actual freedom
than ever before. For years the big
Norman had used his magnificent mus
cles only for straining at the traces.
He had trod only the hard payements.
Now he put forth his glorious strength
at leisure, moving along the pleasant
country roads at his own gait and be-
ing guided only when a turning was
to be made.
Fine as 1t all was, however, as they
drew near to the city both horse and
driver became eager to reach their old
quarters. Tim was, for he has said so.
AS for Chieftain, let the stable boss,
who knows horse nature better than
most men know themselves, tell that
part of the story.

the Play.
Frank Gilmore, the actor, tells the
following story about his aunt, Miss
Sarah Thorne who was leading woman
at the Theatre Royal. Dublin, many
years ago.
Miss Thorne was given part in
The Masked Prince, the second piece
of the evening" said Mr.. Gilmore.
Balancing through her part hastily at
breakfast, she noticed that there was
sne scene in which she had so little to
ray that it could be learned just be
fore going on. She decided to skip that
scene and get to the longer passages.
When night came, and my aunt
made her appearance, she did very

scene occurred the passages she had
skipped in the morning She rushed to
the corner in which she left her book,
but it was not there Finally, the
stage manager, receiving no response
to his repeated calls, sought her out
and pushed her on the stage. There
she was, before large audience, with

courtroom. At high desk sat the
presiding judge, letter perfect in his
part, because he had It ready to read
from the papers in front Of him. A
trial was taking place, and Miss
Thorne to her horror, discovered that
she was to be the prir eipal witness,
on whose answers hung the entire plot
Of the play. The Judge adjusted his
spectacles, looked at bis part, and said
in solemn tones, The witness will now

What was she to answer? She
glanced around helplessiy. She hadn't
the faintest idea what she had seen

allowed. he was making his way across
the field to where a short, stocky man
with broad grin cleaving his face,
was climbing the pasture fence. It
was Tim Doyle himself.
Tim, it seems, had so bothered the
stable boss with questions about the
farm, its location, distance from the
city and general management that at
last that autocrat had said: See here,
Doyle, if you want to go up there just
say so, and I'll send you as car hostler
with the next batch. I'll give you a
note to the farm superintendent. Guess
he'll let you hang around for week
or So"
"Tll go up as hostler," said Tim, "but
you just say in that there note that
Tim Doyle pays his own way after he
gets there"
In that way it was settled. For some
four days Tim appeared to enjoy it
greatly. Most of his time he spent sit
ting on the pasture fence, smoking his
pipe and watching the grazing horses.
To Chieftain alone he brought great
lunches of clover.
About the fifth day Tim grew FESTIVE.
He had examined Chieftain's hoofs and
pronounced them well healed, but the
superintendent said that it would be a
week before he should be ready to
send another lot Of horses back to
the city.
"How far is it by road?" asked Tim.
ssOh, 200 miles or so, said the super
intendent.
"Why not let me take Chieftain down
that way? It'd be cheaper'n shippin'
him, an do him good"
The superintendent only laughed and
said he would ship Chieftain with the
others when he was ready.
That evening Tim sat on the bench
before the farmhouse and smoked his
pipe until every one else had gone to
bed. The moon had risen, big and vel
low. In a pond behind the stables it
seemed as if 10000 frogs had joined
in one grand chorus. They were sing
ing their mating song, If you know
what that is. 1t is not altogether a
cheerful or harmonious effort. Next
to the soughing of a November wind
it is perhaps the most dismally lone.
some sound in nature.
For two hours Tim Doyle smoked and
thought and listened Then he knocked
the ashes out of his pipe and decided
that he had been long enough IN the
country. He would walk to the sta
ton, two miles away, and take the
midnight train to the city. AS he went
down the farm road skirting the pas
ture be saw in the moonlight the sheds
where the horses went at night for
shelter. Moved by some sudden whim,
he stopped and whistled. A moment
later a big horse appeared from under
the shed and came toward him. neigh
ing gratefully. It was Chieftain.
We'll, Chieftain, me bye, I'll be Paw
in We for a SPELL But I'll have yer old
stall ready against yer comm back.
Goodby, laddie" and with this Tim
patted Chieftain on the nose and start
ed down the road. He had gone but a
few steps when he heard Chiefta1n
whinny. Tim stopped irresolutely and
then went on. Again came the call Of
the horse. There was no misunder-
standing its meaning. Tim walked back
to the fence.
In the morning the farm superin-
tendent found on the door sill roughly
penciled note which read:

the enticing smell Of sweet clover in
one's nostrils, the sound Of gently NOV

that before as we'll as behind were
long hours of delicious leisure.
It was only in the afternoons that
these memories troubled Chieftain. In
