So, he did the only thing no could

But 1t was hopeless. Lady Flirt LED
him a merry chase to the edge OF the
village and then, turning Off on the
pike which ran past Five Oaks, with
head In air and stirrups flying. she
put on extra speed and set out straight

IL he had been, he wouldn't have cared;
for he had but two alternatives-either
to walk home after Lady Flirt, or to
return to the station and take the next
trolley which. fortunately. was due In
ten minutes. He chose the latter.
AS no turned In at his own gate, the

Lady Flirt
BY Edward Riddle Padgctt.

~ HEN Mr.. Townbred's wife pre-
scented him with a beautiful
riding horse a month or so
=" ago, his joy was bounded only
by the fact that he lacked the neces-
sary riding breeches. But that rem
edied, he hurried home from the office
every afternoon--having discovered
that the early morning ride was quite
too early for him-and rode Lady Flirt
over hill and down dalo for miles
around Five Oaks.
Indeed, as time went on and he
found himself still in the saddle. he
began to talk of Craftsmanship as
though he had been brought up on 1t
from infancy. No longer did the
mysteries Of "the English saddle"
frighten him: and he was quite as
comfortable on the trot. thank you. as
on the gallop.
But, be 1t noted-though Mr.. Town
bred had overlook ed the point--he had
never gone to the barn. inveiglod Lady
Flirt into submitting to the bride and
himself saddled her. For. always,
John. the hired man, had attended to
these preliminarics. And thereby
hangs a sad. sad tale.
Inc OLner AFTERNOON Mr. IOWnDred
reached Five Oaks q full hour before
his scheduled time. really neglecting a
few matters at the office In order to
enjoy a long ride in the crisp October
air. He called to John to get Lady
Flirt ready and dashed upstairs to don
his riding toys.
Couldn't miss 1t, my dear" he ex-
planned gaily to Mrs. Townbred. IF
ever there was an ideal day for a
horseback ride this Is IT."

Townbred pleasantly, Il believe it Is

pare 1t. Many builders with peculiar

not interfere with plants. Have the
home carpenter make narrow tables to
fit over the radiators, line these with
asbestos. and put the window boxes
on them in tin pans which have been
made to hold them. Fill the boxes
with good loose loom and plant with
ferns, or geraniums, and for vines
