some visitor of state down at his place
he has the tandem hitched up and they
are taken a-driving over the place.
On this occasion the visitor was a
lady of rank, and, sure enough, the
tandem drive was a part of the pro-
gramme, Mr.. Jerome handling the
reins with obvious pride.
THAT night at dinner the beauties
of the estate were one of the
topics. and the guest asserted that it
was one of the finest places she had
seen and that she enjoyed the ride i'm
mensely.
But she admitted, I've great
curiosity to know why position was
riding along holding the head Of the
leader
"a signal under the table caused
the guest to look about, and she
caught the warning eye of Mrs. Je-
rome, who quickly turned the con-
versation. Just as soon as the two
men departed the women had a heart
to heart talk.
"'You know, my dear, explained
Mrs. Jerome, my husband is fearfully
nearsighted and he's awfully touchy
on that point. For a long time I've
realized that it was dangerous for
him to drive a tandem. hampered as
he is by faulty eyesight. for believe
me, he cannot see the leader at all.
So I've arranged that position ride
along at the head of the leader and
sort of take care of things, don't you
know? And, of course, sensitive q
man as my husband is, it would not
do not let him know of this at all.
