person Just starting out
Mr. Shelley was sitting in his own
room in the rear of the building oc-
cupied by the Southern Trading Com
pany, T12 Wyandotte street. He was
in his shirt sleeves and plying a
needle. A pair of trousers, well worn
and dingy from use. was the article
receiving his housewifely attention.
He did not rise to greet his visitor,
but called out cheerily:
Beware, those steps, young man.
Why didn't you say you were going
to drop around this evening. Come. sit
down and make yourself at home"
The voice that extended this invita-
ton was strong and resonant with
good will. Not a note in it told that
with a nasterful effort he had that
day overruled life long principle,
and refused to make good an obliga-
ton. Also 1t sounded carefree and
hopeful, not like that of man who

"Of course she said. cts the only
way OUT And then she began to laugh,
and her blue eyes twinkled.
oh, know, you're feeling rocky, every
one docs now and then" and she handed
me flask about as big as silver dollar.
1lhad just time TO return it TO her and take
up my lines when there was a series Of
hystcrical cries from the woods. Sudderlv
the pack seemed to have lost its mind, and
someone standing up in his stirrups and
pointing toward the valley, over the highest
part Of the fence, began TO shout, I" Gore
away~
Ii had been my intention, as ! have said
before, TO jump the gate which calculated
was several millimetres lower than the
fence, but as that now lay in one direction
and Cleopatra was galloping as last as l
have ever thought it possible for anything
to gallcp in the other, ] gave up the idea
altogether. M
Just before had gone to bed the night
before, remember Rawdon standing in the
doorway, lamp in hand, saying, Cleopatra
likes to 90 at her jumps pretty fast, so don't
check her Lei her 60, but stop her when
you're over or you never will. " That was
onecf the things had had On my mind most
OF the morning; but just because she had a
reputation for rushing her jumps seemed
to me no reason why she should act as if
she had been subsidized to carry the mails.
| do not mind saying | shut my eyes, and
did not open them until struck the other
side. Afterwards Rawdon, who followed
me over on Granny, said he had never seen
Cleopatra give such brilliant performance.

but, of course, | had my eyes shut and
can't be certain.

In the end stall Cleopatra, rudely awak-
ened, put her head Up over the side Of the
stall, rolled rcd eye at me wildly, and bit
at the horse next her, who returned the
compliment calamity Rawdon laughed
and nodded his head at me over his shcul-
der
That's Cleopatra; she'll give you good
ride all right All you have TO do is to sit
tight the first couple Of fields and put her at
the biggest panels you sec. After that, if
she doesn't get away with you, she will set
tie down and a lady could ride her. !"
/ think the stable must have been warm
after the drive in the cold night air, for /
felt quite dizzy for moment and took a
swallow OF water out Of the spigot where the
horses drank How much nicer / thought
il would be to have someone else ride Cleo

gcst panels, and aen get on her after she
had settled down. | laughingly suggested
the idea to Rawdon, but must have done
the laugh too woll, for he took ii as a joke
and chuckled for several minutes.
The horse Merryweather meant TO ride
was big, fatherly looking animal covered
with brown FUR that made him look about
twice as large as he really was, and really
more like some prehistoric animal than a
horse; but Rawdon said he was splendid
jumper, over fifteen years old, and had
neyei been down in his life.
! waxed honestly enthusiastic when /
heard this, and Rawdon seemed pleased,
and said he would have been glad to have
let me ride him, but that the only other
horse up to his, Rawdons weight had devel-
oped splint and besides Cleopatra was
more brilliant performer. | knew what that
meant-a brilliant performer 1t meant
that Cleopatra, when she saw the first fence,
would dig her hind hoofs into the soil, throw
up her head with a snort, and when she got
well going, about mile minute, would
take of anywhere from twenty to forty
feet in front of the fence, and il you came
down again together, everybody turned in
the saddle and congratulated you, and
thanked heaven it was you and not they

faGdu.,y saw me, ftlt q strange feeling OF
diildehoe about accepting Rawdon's hos
ptaLle wave Of invitation to enter Roy
sttrer, being the largest and in q sense the
leader of the Others, seemed particularly
upset and conscious OF his position, and
stared at me so long with his back reached
and teeth bared that felt quite uncom-
fcftahlc until Rawdon gave him sound
kick, which, being kind Of passport for
me, We went in without further annoyance.
/ ielt quite important fer a while after that;
ard lateron ! could see that Roysterer really
would have liked to lick my hand. 1t was
Ike being passed through the fire-lines by
the chief OF police, after some surly police
man he'd pushed you in the shirt front with
d fat, smoky hand.
1t was already morning before Rawdon
ard ! stopped taking; and the last thing |
remember after Rawdon showed me my
room, was lis telling me he would call me
in the morning, and the next thing, just
after had gotten the covers really tight
around me was his calling me. When ! first
heard someone knocking on my door only
dozed happily, but as ] grew little more
ard more awake, something seemed to
weigh upon my mind and deprecs me; and
it was not until Rawdon stood in the door,
crop and lash in hand, that / began to
realize it was Cleopatra. 1t was only few
minutes now before | had to ride Cleopatra.
They say condemned men, on the morning
Of their execution, often eat hearty break
fast. 1t is true; did ! felt should need
il.
The sky was slightly cloudy, and while
the wind blew gently out of the south, there
was an early morning crispness to it that
put the horses on edge; and as the grooms
led our mounts up from the stable, it was
really more than one man should have been
asked TO do, to take Cleopatra all by HIM
self. Sometimes Cleopatra lifted her head
and when she did so the groom went with
her. There was no effort on her part. She
was very graceful and pretty about it.. She
merely lifted her head and the groom went
up in the air; then she would try to kick
Granny, the other horse, with her heels.
We watched them as they approached,
Rawdon with pride in his eyes As for me,
! can't say pride exactly expressed my emo
tons; but then, of course, they weren't my
lorses. Twas only going TO ride one OF them.
f" "Fcehng pretty good aren't theyip said
Rawdon Perfectly deylish, " ] thought,
but ] said nothing There did not seem TO
be any necessity, the thing was so obvious.
Rawdon kept Cleopatra from sitting down
when / got on her, while the groom swung
to her head, SO that forthe time being felt
comparatively safe, and anchored like a
ship in harbor, but it was only the calm
before the storm.
~ 'qAll ready?p Rawdon asked, smiling at
me unconcernedly.
! gritted my teeth, took hrmer hold on
my reins and nodded. The groom made a
broad jump to one side that would have got

Miss Smithscn and i knew each other. She
reached her hand quite graciously across
Rawdon's horse, who was between us, but
as Cleopatra seemed to frown upon the
idea, and edged farther and farther away,
the pleasure hadto be deferred TO another
time.
We had stepped now on the edge Of some
woods, and with a wave OF his hand the
huntfman cast the pack into the heart Of
it, while some twenty or thirty OF US waited,
chatting together in low tones. One man
had plated his horses tail with red ribbon.
