FAMOUS LEAPS OF BYARD
Hoof Prints Near Newmarket That
Mark Jumps Of the Legendary
Blind Horse.

Near Newmarket, in Lincolnshire,
England, there are three marks of a
horses hoofs, and each mark is seven
yards distant from the other. Every
man who farms the field is careful to
keep these marks from being grass
grown or plowed up. For they are the
famous marks of Byard's leap, which
Is recounted In the following story:
There was once a witch of New
market who bewitched the cattle and
crops Of her neighbors and did all sorts
Of mischief, and at last one farmer
went to a wise man and asked him
what to do to overcome the witch
Tie a naked dagger around your
waist" said the wise man. Then
drive your horses into a pond at night
and throw stone into the pond.
Mount the horse that lifts his head up
first and gallop off to the witch's hut
and bid her out to ride with you"
Byard, blind horse, was the first
to raise his head when the farmer
threw the stone, so the farmer mount
ed him and galloped to the witch's
hut.
"Out and ride with me! Out and
ride with mel"
And out came the witch. She jump.
ed at the horse, and Byard made his
first leap, and got away. She jumped
again, and Byard made his second
leap and got away. At the third leap
she sprang behind the farmer and
wound her skinny arms about his
waist. But the dagger cut her left
arm, and she lost all her power and
was never able to trouble anybody
again.

speak correctly now Of the heavy
mannish garments that women are
wearing you call them race coats.
They never were prettier than this

plaid. They are plain or in shadow
plaids. and many of them are revers-

handsome double-faced woolens can
use the ordinary cheviots and line
them with colored cashmere or thin
cloth.
