The Secret Of Success

reason is .plain-thc article did not fulfil

applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is recon-
mcnded by those who have been cured to
those who are in need Of it.

r T STORIES OF LIFE
THE CAPTAINS GRAY.
BY ELLA F. MoseY.

There Is a strange tale OF the night
after "a bloody conflict, when the horses
of two opposing cavalry regiments,
having beer but ca~relessly picketed,
broke loose, and in the uncertain light
OF the campflres again engaged in a
fierce struggle. Screaming. biting,
charging with desperate courage, they
enewed the conflict of h day. not
allowing themselves to be separated
until more than half their number lay
dead or disabled on the field. Whether
the more intelligent cavalry horses

thrill of war. and even imbibe some

owners. My own mare-beautiful and

My story, however. is not OF her, but
of our captains gray, a powerful and
fiery horse, the finest in our regiment
for speed, bottom. brain and pluck.
Despite an imperturbably grave air, he
was continually playing tricks. espe-
cially on the other horses.
When his master threw himself or
the ground to rest, his horse would lie
down beside him, either lovingly, and
lightly. laying his head on the captains
breast to be patted, or else searching
his pockets for bits Of bread and sug-
ar. and II these were not Forthcoming,
stealing his masters handkerchief and
pretending to hide 1t.

parently q lonely man. His horse was
In fact. his only intimate friend. and
