SMILES AND CANDY BAIT
Girl Lures Horse From Ferryboau
Where Men Had Failed.

Something so mild shone from the
big dapple's eyes when he ambled
amiably into the womans cabin of
the Atlantic-avenue ferryboat Brook
lyn that he couldn't be expected to un-
derstand the feminine scamper that
followed his entrance Bland aston

orbs of his and he uttered little in

self so unpopular with the girls.
Dapple was drawing wagon of the
Notional Smoked Fish Co. when Ike
Kerner drove him aboard the ferrybOat
for a trip from Brooklyn to Manhat-
TAM He meant no harm, but he fell
several times on the slippery drive
and the last time he staggered to his
feet it was with a mere wisp of harness
left-Dapple first, Kerner second, the
wagon nowhere. Dapple didn't like

loneliness in the cabin. In he went
and in a minute 200 business women
and early shoppers were crowding into
the mems cabin. Several of the men
were so amazed that in the first shock
they surrendered their seats-for which
of course they We're properly rebuked
by the glares of their fellow men all
the way across the river.
When it came to getting Dapple out
of the boat Kerner and all the other
men Notwithstanding Patrolman
Hatch, who FASTENED aboard on pur-
pose-were powerless to bulge him.
But a slip of girl-she had golden
hair gathered in cute little twist
and the nimble look OF her fingers
indicated she was a stenographer-
lured Dappe off the boat when all the
men had failed. From a dainty bag
she took a chocolate cream-a great,
fat. round, sleek, dark brown chocO-
late Greenland fed it to Dapple deli
cately as if giving sugar to canary.
And Dapple muzzled it out of her hand
into his grateful mouth with care that
showed he knew how to appreciate so
great boon.
Backward cautiously. alluringly,
step by step, the little beauty moved
Dapple following all the while-not
alone for more chocolate creams. NO,
indeed. Her eyes and smile would
have coaxed him without the candies.
But she had abundance of bon bons, 1t
happened so her progress from the
boat with Dapple trailing her was
triumphal march that ended IN the
street with a round of cheers from the
crowd, whereupon she blushed ana
hurried toward the IL stairs, while
Dapple sadly submitted to the halter
that was to lead him back to Brooklyn

other crops. there being sixteen acres
under cultivation. Subsequently she
cleared four more acres herself, telling
the trees and burning the stumps.
At the outset she realized that skirts
were cumbersome things, and she
promptly dOnned male attire, including
a pair of overalls. The story of her
struggles to learn the use of various
tools and implements of agriculture is
most interesting. Visits to neighbor-
