BLACK 8E1Trs DOING
BY ELSA cRuMRINE.


Once upon a time the Illnesses and
the KeDworths had been close friends
and neighbors. 1t was a matter of
boundary lines that brought about
the first bitterness between the fam
lilies, and now the i'll feeling had
spread over two generations. The
third generation recognized and re-
spec:ed the feud. although it never
understood just why it was worth
while to make a lifelong fuss over
twelve inches of running brook
On the kenworth side there was
only Rod left-Rod. who had taken
the mcrtgaged homestead as his in
heritance. Rod had to give up his
stables.
And Black Betty had to 60. too. for
five hundred dollars was not to be re-
fused at this critical time. Perhaps
Rod experienced an additional bitter
ness that his mare went into the
hands of his traditional enemy, but
he was courtesy itself to the colonel.
Around at the Illnesses stable Alice
was caressing Black Betty's pretty
head.
1T was dear of you, Uncle Daniel,
to buy her for me-" cried the girl.
"You and Aunt Martha have been
lovely in every way since l came to
live with YOU"
The colonel laughed grimly.
when lonely old couple have a
chance to entertain niece whom they
have never seen before-why, there's
mighty likely prospect that she's
going to have good time"
The next morning Alice went for
her first ride on the mare. The girl
was a skillful horsewoman and Black
Betty responded perfectly to her light
est touch. Quite unaware that she
was turning toward Kenworth farm,
Alice took narrow bride path in the
beech woods and gave Black Betty a
loose rein.
Suddenly the mare stopped short
and whinnied. Then, with a shrill cry,
she sprang forward and tore along the
bride path toward her old home.
Vainly Alice tried to restrain the ex-
cited animal. Black Betty put her
head down and shot like an arrow to
its mark. At the end of the bride
path was a barred gate. At the gate
Black Betty rose like bird and sailed
over the barrier, almost riding down q

Will Appeal To Public

That it is the intention of the
Florida Fire Prevention Society to
become more active in disseminating
information relative to the five haz-

interest and recollection the warn
ings given in the talks to them
against the careless use of matches,

appointed, which, with the approval

easily done when field men happen

produce dividends for a decade, but
