Army Horses.

Capt. Archibald s. Black of London,
a former army officer, who is visiting
In this country for pleasure, was seen
at local hotel, says the Washington
Herald, and in speaking about army
horses, he said: The British army
on mobilization will require 1872 900
horses, and no one has the slightest
idea where they are to be found Good
authorities tell us that this number
of animals of the military age does
exist in the country. With the growth
of mechanical transport the necessity
of taking steps to secure a supply of
horses in war grows more and more
urgent We cannot. unfortunately,
mount our cavalry on taxicabs. We
still breed the best horses in the
world, but they are bought up for the
use of foreign armies while the Brit
ish war Office is counting its pence"

Novel Team of Horses.

seem almost uncanny. To the COM

horses, they will not start ahead

The Miniature
BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS
(copyrisht. 1911. by Associated Literary Pre.s)

Celeste Wheeler bought a morning
paper and turned eagerly TO the per-
sonal column. A little laugh escaped
her as her eyes alighted on the ad she
had inserted. She read II over still
wearing her irresponsible smile.
"A young lady Will paint a miniature
I'm return for a few weeks hospitality
In the country. Long Island pre-
ferred. References"
"Therel The die is cast! II had
any family to Judge me insane they
might have good cause. Still-it is a
very sensible way to get a much need
ed bit OF the country when funds hap
pen to be at low tide and energies
depleted"
celeste looked wistfully down at her
rather shabby shoes and the dust col
ored velvet of her gown. Luckily for
both they were Of a shade which Meth
or showed their poverty nor their lack
OF care. They were artistic in their
very shabbiness as was the soft gray
hat with its woefully dropping plume.
Not so with Celeste's eyes. These
great. wonderful eyes assumed all the
brightness and depths and happiness
OF two new born stars. Only occa-
sionally were these eyes permitted to
reflect all the inward longing for the
man whose love had been ruthlessly
cast aside. Celeste had been very
young when she had told Hugh Ardale
that art must take the place OF love.
Wen, fame was gradually creeping in
to fulfil its mission and Celeste Wheel
er smiled through all.
She reached her studio and in the
hope that answers would soon come
from her advertisement, Celeste gave
her wonderful artistic treasures more
or less cursory tidying. Also she put
a few much needed stitches in the
fragments of wardrobe which she
possessed.
When these duties, enormous to the
artistic temperament, were over, Ce-
leste went to her little tin box and
looked over her wealth. She had ex-
actly ninety-nine dollars. Her studio
was paid for for another twelve months
and Celeste had orders for nine minia-
lures, waiting her leisure. She would
not touch one of these until she had
returned from much needed rest.

the determination of the palatability
