A HORSE-RACE OF OrfiE2
DAYS.

"A little scene from American
~ life of other days was stag
ed at the Goshen, N. Y,
race-track on Saturday when
"a notable gathering saw Su-
prere Court Justice Arthur S.
Thompkins of Nyack take two
straight heats and win a match
race from Supreme Court JUS
tice A. H. Seeger of Orange
County" The distinguished
horsemen drove their own trot-
ters attached to "carts closely
resembling sulkies," and the
race. in the words of the des-
patch, "was the star event of
the card"
That is readily conceivable.
It was a horserace of the kind
which gave its peculiar ro-
nance to the turf in America
in earlier times-such a race as
bygone generations of horse
fanciers flocked to see and in
which innumerable gentlemen
drivers long since dead would
have liked to have a hand.
Trotting has lost its prestige
with the development of the
thoroughbred running horse,
and Judges nowadays take
more TO golf and motoring
than to the sulky. But it is in

chance to see what their ances-
tors liked and be enlightened
as to why they found more to
admire in horse than in an in
animate speed machine. The

driving of horses in harness by
their owners may be moribund; !;
the passing of the Speedway is
symptomatic of its decline. But
the old sentiment attaching to
it is lively enough still-New

CAMPING in Morocco.

Camping is fine art in Morocco,
where the roads are almost impossible,
and the chief means of transportation
is by caravan. All day one rides
across the great plains, prodigally COW
cred with iris. daffOdils, daisies. butter
cups and wild lavender. Perhaps a
wild band of horsemen will gallop by,

and blue. streaming in the wind. their

some crusading king.
Occasionally one skirts little vii
lage built of mud and waffle and bar
ley. Here and there the white domed
shrine of some saint rises Serenely
above the plain. And at sundown the
shepherds playing on their reed flutes
drive their f1Ocks of sheep and goats
home from pasture. Then it is time to
pitch the tents near grove of orange
trees or on fairy carpet of red anem-
ones. One dimes on roasted sheep
and couscous. and is lulled to sleep
by the songs Of the guard under the
intense blue of the African sky.

forward with more than the usual
amount of happiness to Friday night.
Then came Mayme Debussy, and
things changed.
How could Elsie attribute to any
thing but this Phil Darts apparent
abstraction that morning when he had
dictated to her? Certainly his mind
had been far away. for he had faltered
and revised and repeated himself in
way foreign to his usual confident man
ner.
"Some regular fellow. that Dart per-
SON." Mayme Debussy stopped and
perched languidly on the corner of Ell
sizes desk.
The noon whistle had sounded. but
Elsie was Fastening to finish a bit Of
work before going to the lunch room.
It was like sudden challenge-this
direct mention OF Phils name: Elsie
felt herself color. She wanted to look
Mayme squarely in the face and an
swer indifferently. Instead she heard
herself stammering:
"Yes. Mr. Dart Is nice"
"T'll say he is. You know" and
Mayme smiled down at the other in
patronizing way. 81 don't see why
some Of you girls don't go after him.

much myself"
The color in the other girls face
heightened quickly. 81 don't think
Mr.. Dart is the sort who would care
to have women go after him.
The new stenographer laughed
mockingly. "Pshaw. you don't know
much about men. They are all alike.
They like to he vamped."
And Mayme Debussy slipped down
from her seat and moved toward the
lunch room with a superior and world
ly-wtse air that set Elsie to pounding
the KEYS Of her machine furiously.
Could 1t he that Phil Dart was like
that? Before Friday night Elsie felt
sure that he was. Moreover. deep In
her heart she evolved plan-a plan

"There were difficulties to be sur

to obtain our own supplies of choco-

could not get through because there
was so much artillery and ammunition
on the move. We simply had to have
the supplies for the boys. After some
thought a way was worked out. The
ambulances had been coming up to the
front empty. They had right of way
on the roads after the artillery.

the inside walls of a large eel's

this to be a well-masticated wad

The cud probably had been in
the mouth of fair damsel who
canoed on the moonlit waters Of

ecstasy dropped the gum from
