IODALLER
The Beautiful

No quality helps more in selling a
roadster than elegant conformation and
style. If you get these qualities you
have to breed for them and horse to
transmit them surely must not only
possess them himself, but must inherit
them strongly through both sire and
dam. Lodaller's sire, Allerton, 2:O94,
is noted for string beauty when bred to
mares like the dams of Lodaller and
Locanda.
The dam of Lodaller, Lodina, 2:181,
was, in racing condition, one of the
handsomest mares that ever scored for
the word. Like her son, she could race
and maintain her good looks. Her
series of spl1t-heat races with Chain
Shot, 2:064, over Wisconsin half mile
tracks, in her last campaign, proved
her much greater trotter than her
record indicates. Her defeat of Chain
Shot at Beaver Dam, was pronounced
by Pres Newton, of the Wisconsin
State Fair, the best race he ever saw.
Lodaller started out, in emulation of
his dam, by winning seven blue ribbons
in three different states, defeating
many horses, and causing others to re-
main in the barn, that had never before
been defeated. AS race horse he won
four times in his class and was second
in free-for-all. Then runaway
crashed into him in his fifth race and
ended his winning. But for this he
would have taken record as good as
2:15 last fall. Some keen judges say
better.
If you want to breed trotters handsome
and fast, Lodaller is your horse. His
foals are all fine looking, good gated
trotters, no PAGERS, not even from
pacing mares.
His class as race horse is indicated
by his defeating in contested races,
over half mile tracks, such stations as
Sir Boreal, Allie Dale, Wisconsin Bill,
Henry o., and The Fox. The latter
horse twice.
Lodaller's fee is $1,000 to insare al
mare with foal. Mares losing their
foals may be returned free of charge
or the money will be refunded, at my
option. Mondays and Tuesdays at

Nv 1ITH that scene in the avenue
NV of elm trees at Morpingham
wv there comes a falling of the
veil. Letters passed between
Sophy and Julia Robins, but they have
not been preserved The diary was not
yet begun. Basil Williamson did not
move In the same world with Lady
Meg and her encourage. Dunstanbury
was In Ireland, where his regiment
was then stationed. For the next twelve
months there is only one glimpse Of
Sophy-that passing and accidental
one, although not without its signiti-
canoe as throwing light on Lady Meg's
adoption of Sophy-while 1t lasted it
amounted to that-and on the strange
use to which she hoped to be able to
turn her protege. The reference is,
however, tantalizingly vague just
where explicitness would have been of
curious interest, though hardly Of any
real Importance to a sensible mind.
The reference occurs in a privately

thing Of that kind. don't understand
that nonsense and don't want to. But
when looked skeptical and old Pin
dar chuckled, or it may have been his
teeth chattering with the cold, Meg
nodded her head at the girl and said:
Shell tell you a different tale some
day. If you meet her In five years
time perhaps don't know what the
old lady meant. suppose the girl
did, but she looked absolutely indif-
ferent and. indeed, bored. One can't
help being amused; but, seriously, it's
rather sad for man who was brought
up in the reverence of Lord Dunstan-
bury to see his only daughter, a clever
woman, too, naturally, deyoting her
self to such childish stuff
Such is the passage. 1t is fair to add
that most of the captains book is Of
more general interest. AS he implies,
he had had a long acquaintance with
the Dunstanbury family and took a
particular interest in anything that re-
lated to it. Nevertheless what he says
has Its place here. 1t fits in with and
explains Lady Meg's excited and mys
teal exclamation to Mr.. Plndar at
Nottingham, "They may speak through
her!" Apparently they" had spoken,
to what effect we cannot even conjec-
ture unless an explanation be found in
a letter of the Krayonian period in
which Sophy says to Julia, you re-
member that saying of Mantis' when
we were IN London-the one about
how she saw something hanging In
the air over my head something
bright" That is all she says, and
something bright" leaves the matter
very vague. A sword, crown, the
nimbus of saint-imagination might
play untrammeled. Still some prophecy
was made. Lady Meg built on 1t, and
Sophy, for all her apparent Indifference,
remembered 1t and In after days
thought 1t worthy of recall. That is MS
far as we can go, and with that passing
glimpse Sophy Grouch-of course the
mention of the wafer-like mark puts
her identity beyond question passes

eat just now, but more than this, you
should be careful not to allow your

A big audience had gathered at the

a large lamp hung in the center of the
auditorium by rope fell and set fire

the congregation made rush for the
outer door, but found only half of the
door open. The crowd that sought the

strength of seven or eight men to
push open the other half Of the door
and let the people out.
