Now comes upon the scene man,
W. s. Andrews, assistant In horse hus.

color of horse is no Indication of the
real value of the animal. and that the
statement cannot be made too en-
pratic that speed, intelligence, visor

dependently of color"
This authority says that horse colors.
as recognized by the stud books, are
gray, roam. dun. bay, brown, black and
chestnut, and that his study of breed
ing records indicates that chestnut is
recessive to all other colors: that black
is dominant to chestnut and recessive
to all others: that bay is dominant to
chestnut and black and recesslve to

and dun. 1t Is in this connection that
the laws governing the heredity of COL

the transmission, intelligence, stamina,
docility and all the qualities which add
to the value OF the horse.

THE list of old-time popular preju-
dices which have been exploded

T4E list of old-time popular preju-
dices which have been exploded
L or at least scientifically. combat
ed, within the last few years Is long
one, and now some pet prejudices about
horses have come under the displeasure
Of those gentlemen who have scien-
tifc way of marshaling facts and de-
ducing conclusions.
For untold years most men who think
about horses. or at least who ride or
drive them, have felt suspicious Of. If
not unkindly toward, q horse with
three white feet. There IL an ancient
rhyme which runs something like this:
One white foot, buy him;
Three white feet. deny him;
-Four white feet, skin him and give him to the
crows.
The groundlessness of this supersti-
tion has been abundantly shown. yet
1t persists in countless minds. and a
man who has a horse with three or
four white feet gets that venerable
part rhyme dinned into his ears many
the fastest. strongest. toughest and
most faithful horses have had and have
two. three and four white feet. The lat
est instance OF this kind to come under
popular observation was Durbar II,
winner of this years Derby. Durbar
has three white feet.
Another deeply rooted prejudice has
concerned the color of horses. A gray
has generally been esteemed q tough
and staying horse, and a black horse
has been suspected of lack Of stamina.
A roam horse, either steel roam or
strawberry roam. has always been sized
up as a hardy horse. A dun horse was
the last word in equine feebleness. A
cream -colored horse was suspected Of

The main house Of Sharon was occu-
pied by troops during the civil war, an
outpost being maintained there as at
so many other places in front of the
defenses of Washington. especially on
the Virginia side Of the Potomac. Four
years Of occupancy of gentleman's
estate by troops is apt to work some
changes in the property, but the fact
that no buildings on this place were
destroyed is evidence OF the respect in
which it was held. But Aunt Rachel
feels that atrocities were committed
there. and still becomes a good deal
agitated when she tells Of the damage
done by the Yankee soldiers. Aunt
Rachel called them Yankees All Aunt

other places in the Philippine Islands,
where he robbed and pillaged the ma
tives right and left. He was captured
and sentenced to death for his crimes,
but again his wonderful magnetism,
self-assurance and ability to play the
role of badly injured hero won him his
liberty. He again pretended to have en-
braced religion. and 1t was by this plan
he committed extensive swindles upon
the Catholic clergy Of the islands.
From the Philippines this pirate of
the Pacific made a voyage to San Fran
cisco in q stolen schooner, but he man
aged to escape capture. 1t was shortly
after this that he was knocked on the

he could. The brig went down in a
storm shortly after this incident. Hayes
made his way in small boat to the
Navigators Islands, and from there to
Batavia. on the Island of Java. where
he operated for a time. making away
with boats and valuable cargoes.
1t was shortly after he had been driven
out Of the seas around Java that he
made his first appearance at Melbourne
In those days a government tax Of $50
per head had to be paid on all China
men landed here. Hayes decided it
would be a good speculation to take on
load Of celestials and get them into
Australia without paying the tax. He
made voyage to Hongkong In a vessel
that he had seized somewhere in the In
dian ocean and loaded 1t with several
hundred Cinnamon who were anxious to
emigrate to this country. He contracted
to land them at Melbourne at stipulated
sum per head in addition to the passage
money.

thing which brings into her eyes the
brightest gleam Of pride is that feather

Uncle Peter is Aunt Rachers brother
His age is about seventy-eight, but
rheumatism done him up right smart"
He Is not SO 'peart" as he was a couple
Of score OF years ago. Uncle Peter is
somewhat warped out of shape and
walks with two sticks which he cut
himself. He sat on the bottom rail of
an old chestnut rail fence when he
talked to the Rambler. He said that
Commodore Jones had some fine horses.
Uncle Peter says that good deal of
stock in Virginia has run down. The
horses can't run as fast or as far or
jump fences as high and clean as they
Ssads used to in mt the S good old days and as to
present day are sorry lot. The Ram
bier gathered from Uncle Peter that
the cows Of today do not give as good
milk and the hens do not lay as fresh
eggs as they used to. and there has
been notable deterioration in the cul-
ture of watermelons. Also, the win
ters are not as cold as they used to be
and the snow storms are nothing like
what we used to have.
Aunt Rachel told the Rambler that
the Joneses of Sharon were buried in
the churchyard at Lewinsville and that
a weeping willow tree grew over the
grave of Commodore Jones.
Bidding adfeu to Sharon, the Rambler
and his friends passed down the lane
by the springhouse out into the pike
and on to Scott's run. There one sees
a general country store and the ruin
of mill, with only a trace Of the
wheel remaining. Across the run and
up the hill on the westward side you
pass over the paving Of the old pike
heavy pieces of bluestone-a pave
mont rougher than the cobble paving
OF any backward city.
At tho top Of the hill and on the
right of the road Is picturesque ruin
and the fragment Of q ruin. The walls
Of stone barn stand and the stone
chimney Of q house. These buildings
were burned by Union soldiers early
in the war. This was the farm Of

ed all the fresh water on board. He set
lis colors at half-mast, union down, which
was a call for aid. The vessel had the
outward appearance of being in sink
ing condition. Other ships quickly re-
sponded to the call for help.
BE quick about it and land these
poor, unfortunate Cinnamon before
the ship Sinks" Hayes pleaded. I'VE
will have settlement of the cost
when your noble work Is finished"
The rescuing vessels took the
Cinnamon on board and landed them
The head money was paid by the
ships that landed the immigrants as
required by law. When the last China
man had been taken of of his ship,
Hays quickly got the vessel under
