U1sfervs1f- addTepated, good looking inconstant Freddie, just out of college was transformed into bone of con tention, whether he would or no. A He was of ts1e kind who love or make love to every new girl they meet, seriously enough at the tinnes but cas- fly passed over if need be. Rebuffs may havespuzzIed him, but they left no jagged scar. He belonged to that class which upsets the tranquility of inexperienced maidens by whispering intensely, Heavens, it's grand!' And he means it at the moment
 Katherine Rodney was in love with him. He belonged to 8 fashionable New York family of wealth, and he had been young lion at Pasadena during the winter just past. He own ed automobiles and yacht and an extensive wardrobe. These notable as- sets had much to do with the conquest of Mrs Rodney SEC looked with favor upon the transitory MT. U1stervelt, and believed in her heart that he had some thing to do with the location of the shining sun. But of this affair more anon, as the novelists say.
 Brock was presented to the Rodneys just before the party went in to din- sper. He R1anaged his eyeglass and bis drawl braveIy and got on swimmingly with the elder Rodneys, until Con- stance appeared with Katherine and Freddie Ulatervelt. It was not until then that 1t occurred to Miss Fowler that Freddie, being from New York. was almost certain to know Brock ei- ther personally or by sight She ex- perienced a cold chill the distinct ap- proach of catastrophe. Brock had just been told that young UIsterye1t of New York was to be of the party. His blood ran cold He had never seen the young man, but he knew his father well. He had even dined at the man sion in Madison avenue. There was every reason, however, to suspect that Freddie knew him by sight Even as he was planning mode of defense in case of recognition the young man was presented Brooks drawl was some thing wonderful

Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over q period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prona
to be affected with other ailments as I'M
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
ralsing off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the ssvs all
over two or three times year. The fanlss
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

'senlbly!

In the face of all the bright prom
ises for a short session, and in spite
of the pleas OF the state administra-
tion that n halt must be had, the pres
ent assembly Is establishing a prime
record in presenting bills. More than
700 measures have been introduced in
the house and senate up to March 3
and the assembly has been in session
less than two months. Two years
ago, even when things were free and
easy and even after the session had
lasted five months, the number of
bills introduced was only approx
mately GOO.
No wonder that the governor and
the Democratic state leaders, So
called, are worrying. No wonder
that daily conferences are being held
to conjure up means of stemming the
legislative tide For this much is GER
tain, that If the assemblymen once
get the bit in their teeth and good
start, one of the incest little run
aways in a generation of assemblies

vers are offering a bit of leeway.
