The shelk seemed satisfied on hearing
this report. but presently repeated his
| question. The boy answered that they
We're still being pursued, but that this
time the horse was white. Never

faster"
In a few minutes he asked for a
further report, and the reply was the
same, with the difference that the horse
was n chestnut. The shiek, however,
put his question a fourth time, but
upon being told by his son that the
pursuer was mounted ON a bay he
cried out. "'rhen we are lost, for there
Is no horse which 1t cannot overtake.'
His words proved to be true, for in Il
short time they were caught up Will

LEATHER BOUND BOOKS.
A Little vaseline Improves and Pre-
serves the Binding.

SeTNSS tHo OinuiHY'
An official of the Congressional IL
brary was talking with n frieNd who
recently had purchased II handsome set
OF leather bound volumes and said:
You had better examine those vol
umes carefully to see II the leather
needs feeding. II II Is new stock they
will be all right let alone for several
years. but IL they have been on the
shelves for some time the leather will
have lost most Of It's natural oil and
become brittle. This applies especially
to books kept in private houses, which
are as n rule much hotter than the book
stacks OF a large library. There Is
nothing more attractive than Il fresh,
well preserved leather binding on a
volume and scarcely anything less so
than a ~dilapidated. cracked one.
You can add years TO the life of n
leather binding and a hundred per cent
To its appearance by rubbing in Il little
vasellne with a piece of raw cotton
not too much, Just as much as the
leather will thoroughly absorb. Where
the binding bends is where ii is most
likely TO crack. The leather will not
be greasy, as the vaseline will be alb
sorbed. One treatment every year oil
two Is sufficient unless the books are
unduly exposed to heat."-Washington
