back leaping along toward him.

from the pier as Jimmie kicked the
dog and jumped into the water.
He got her with difficulty and upon
swimming back to the pier found two
policemen from the Charles street sta

for her You big stiffs."

Perhaps never in the. history Of New
York was horseback riding SO pop
ular. On all of the bride paths in
the various parks there are constantly
crowds either learning to ride or
riding like Veterans. Some believe
