whipped up, but the rain poured down
on a slant, right into his face and on
his hands, and when he reached the
barn he was a bright and beautiful
blue, with streaks of green all
through it: He looked like a mar
belized coachman, or an Easter egg.
They went right to work and dyed
him up again, and the only thing
they could think of to protect him
against the rain was to varnish him.
So they vanished him. They gave
him one coat of varnish that evening.
and said they would give him another
coat In the morning, and then rub
him well with pumice stone, to give
him high polish, and after that they
would have no more trouble; all they
would have to do would be to rub
him over with furniture polish on a
soft rag every Wednesday. But the
next morning when they went out to
give him the second coat he hadn't
dried. The varnish seemed just as

Aunt Rhinocolura Betz has long
been the leader of Betzville society
circles, and justly So, having always
eight more kinds of bottles of face
wash on her toilet table than any 9TH
er lady, but the real reason she
keeps carriage and coachman Is be-
cause of her wooden leg, and not for
style. But If a lady has to have the
accessories of wooden leg she might

that she can. If my head was very
bald I would keep 1t so highly pol
tshed that it would be an ornament.
Five weeks ago last Tuesday Aunt
Rhinocolura received a letter from
her cousins wife in Washington that
was full of brag about her new coach,
that was dark tan In the upholster-
ing, and just matched her dark tan
suit, and she said she had got that
particular shade because it just
matched her dark tan coachman's

wan therefore very stylish.

what, and as soon as she had finished
the letter she called Jabez Wicks.
Jabez Is coachman to Aunt Rhinoco-
lura, and has been ever since her leg
got cut off, and he is a faithful fel-
low. So he came in and stood re-
spectfully, and Aunt Rhinocolura read
the letter to him, but as she went on
Jabez turned mighty pale. The trou-
bic was that Aunt Rhinocolura's coach
was upholstered in dark green, and
Aunt Rh1nOcolura had a dark green
dress OF the same shade. At first
Jabez shuff1ed his feet on the floor,
and then he gasped once or twice,
like fish, but Aunt Rhinocolura
looked at him with a stern but kind
eye, and so he just said GOSH" like
a man that is so surprised he can't
say any more
So that afternoon Aunt Rhinocolura
and her hired girl went out into the
back yard and Jabez rolled the coach
out into the light, and they went to
work on him with the package of Alb
'solutely Fast Persian Dye. They had
to have the coach so they could match
the color exactly. It was a pretty
hard color to match.

ticed that they said: Boil the goods
in the dye" When Aunt Rhinocolura
read that a sort of spasm Of fright
passed over Jabez Wicks' face Jabez
was a faithful coachman but he
seemed to have lingering dislike to
being boiled in green dye, and Aunt
Rhinocolura, after she had considered
the matter seriously decided she
would not boil Jabez; it might get
better color, but Jabez wouldn't be
much use as coachman after he
had been boiled. So they did the best
they could and gave. him six coats of
dye, rubbing it in we'll, and at each
coat he came little nearer the shade
of the coach upholstery, and at last
Aunt Rhinocolura was satisfied and
said he matched it we'll enough. He
was rich dark green, except his
hair, which was red, and after Aunt
Rhinocolura had stood on and off and
studied him, she decided his hair was
inharmonious, and she dyed his hair
accordingly.
1t was proud moment for her and
Jabez when they took their first. drive.
Aunt Rhinocolura had the blessed sat-
isfaction of knowing she was right in
style, and Jabez had the satisfaction
of knowing he matched the uphol-
stery as we'll as possible. It was af-
fecting to see him lay his hand on

been we'll if it hadn't come on to- rain.
