Few writer's have published authentic equine
biographies, and even those who have under
taken this form of work have been too polite
or too i'll informed to describe the exact inner
feelings of horse when he is subjected to GER
tain forms of humiliation and disappointment.
Little has been said, for example, of the pro-
family of which that animal is capable when
goaded beyond the power of quadrupedal en-
durance. But those who really know the horse
are we'll aware of the fact that he forgets
himself entirely, becoming almost human in
his ability to think words of an expressive but
unprntable character. What good does it do
him?
Quite as much as the use of similar words
does his more vocal master, man. 1t lets off
steam. 1t relaxes the brain. 1t refreshes the
imagination. 1t brings about period Of
philosophical resignation and ca1m. Grim sat

rapidly away, after making vague bow. And
Marcel didn'tsdare to run after him to put the
customary gratuity into his hand.
Marcel had great difficulty in finding the
wandering musician again.
One April evening, however, he brought
him into the pergola, where Magda was fever
ishly awaiting them.
'We have proposition to make to you,'
said the young woman, inviting the artist to
take seat beside her. I'VE are rich and
have no children We love art in all its forms
and are passionately fond of music. We are
going back to Paris. Our house is large and
easily accommodate one more person. We
want to take you with us. You will be free
to go and come as you please. But we will
see to it that you will play III circles where
you will be appreciate led at your real value.
You deserve this compensation after all the
tribuations you have gone through"
The old man had listened to her without ex-
hibiting any surprise. When she finished he
looked at her coldly.
81 thank you," he said ''You are very good.
But / cannot accept. 1t is too late. l am too
old now."
Zone is never too old to see his lifes efforts
realized" Marcel suggested.
"You didn't understand me- replied the vio-
inist. II told you that didn't set great store
on riches or glory have no need of anything
or anybody. An old man requires so little TO
live on, if only ray of sunlight caresses
him.
Very gravely he made his final confession
TO the young couple:
II am no longer free l am attached to this
coast by thousand liens, invisible, but all
powerful. 1t is here that l have heard the
voice of the sea-that grand music which con-
tans all other music. When one has heard
that great voice he can't listen to other voices
/ have only one desire---to die a bench, fac
ing the sea, with my violin on my knees"
This time he went away, his head bare and
his gray locks tossing in the breeze.
Magda wept silently.

originator of that celebrated variety of laugh

after all, the joke is on the other fellow. No
matter how heavy the load on his back, his
legs do not wave in the air like the wings of
a windmill or tremble beneath him as if he
were being held up a dark night by a
masked gentleman whose voice is startling1y
like the Federal tax collectors. His teeth are
not chattering. No series of groans bursts
from his throat. His body does not writhe as

has undergone violent change of identity.

~ WAS so beautiful outdoors that they
were taking their coffee under the per
i COLA, although it still winter. The
sparkling sea, the glowing and the
deep azure Of the sky made the air tremble
with it's own clarity.
Magda, who was stretched on lounging
chair, asked her husband
Didn't we breakfast earlier than usual?
The volnist hasn't come yet"
Have little patience!" the young man an
swered, with smile.
Twice week, in fact-each Thursday and
Sunday-the gray-bearded old man, whom
they called the vioinist, came to their terrace
to delight them with furtive concert. He
played on his instrument, with it's shrl notes,
unknown airs, fragile and light, freighted
with strange sensibility. When he finished
ne went away without waiting for modest
gratuity 1t was necessary to call after him
to induce him to accept this offering.
His reticence and modesty interested the
young couple, who led q life of ease in this
enchanted corner of the world. Luxury had
neither corrupted their hearts nor spoiled
their delicaey of feeling They didn't dare to
question this singular artist, who resembled
being asked, to play for them airs which they
had never heard before.
'If he doesn't appear" Magda went on, in
tone of encouragement, eve shall have lost
the opportunity to assist him. We shall go
back to Paris without knowing where he
comes from or why, with soul so vibrant. he
is still poor and alone"
"Bah,'' said Marcel, shaking his head, 1--WE
shall soon forget him.
But he realized that his words rang false
and that the mystery Of this recluse's exist
ence would long occupy their thoughts.
At that minute the first STRINGS of the
music reached their ears and against the foil
age of the orange trees they saw the violin
lists silhouette. This time again he played
motifsof extreme simplicity which accorued

The great restorer lifts his hand with q
gesture which carries infinite conviction.
Dear madame, you are just the right
weight for health. Not pound too much or
too little
"But think of the future!" she tells him in
the agony of final appeal. "Think of that--the
other chin that's on the way! Think of my
cheeks my poor cheeks! Of my arms!"
1t is too much. The hideousness of it all
overwhelms her. He has to find the cure she
urgently needs.
''How much exercise do you take?' he de-
mands, his tone cold, cruel.
The siveriest of laughs.
Exercise! She has heard that there is such
a word in the dictionary, but she has never
looked to make sure.
'sAh."
Archinledes used different word, but the
same tone, for, like his ancestral scientist the
doctor had found it.
Horseback riding." he prescribes easily,
carelessly, as though it were simple matter
like taking an ounce of strychnine or pound
of carbolic acid crystals.
The lady's eyes f1utter incredulously, her
body becomes rigid, doubt sweeps through her
entire system as one transcendent question
leaps to her pale lips:
"But how would I look in riding togs?'
Stunning"
Unconsciously she surveys the visible parts
of her figure in palpitating glance. 1t is
enough. A sigh of resignation, the tinkle of a
vocal chord, a mental note of a certain sum
by her and another note of an equally comfort
able sum by him-and an equestrienne is added
to the list.
Or the club may be the scene. Mr.. Broad
clinks his glass of Anti-Saloon Leaguealized
cocktail against that of Mr.. Rocks.
"Gettin' too fat!" sputters Mr. B. in
asthmatic accents.
"Horsehack ridin!' chokes back Mr. Rocks

After that so does Mr. Broad. It's terrible
punishment but not so hideous as apoplexy.
Any sort of life is preferable to no life at all.

ing after, when the animal puts his head out
of the window of his apartment and reiterates
his famous expression of amusement, where is
Mrs. Overwaite and where is Mr. Broad? Are
they ready for a romp over the meadows?
Are they feeling buoyant and joyous enough to
race across barley field with their neghbors?
They are not. Behold the lady still in bed as
the hands of the clock turn to l p m Observe
Mr.. Broad as he drags himself with strange
lassitude to his Office two hours later than his
accustomed time. Why are these things true?
Go ask Dame Nature, author and fashioner of
that interesting and intricate bit of personal
property known as the muscular system.
True enough it is that time and application
may remedy ills which spring from the
wrenching of hitherto reposeful ligaments and
tendons and such like, and that after a year
OF so of persistent and malicious effort to slay
horse or two Mr.. Broad and Mrs. Overwaite
may sit down comfortably after an hours ride,
but aside from that accomplishment what can
they boast Of? Fresh air and vigorous exer-
else have increased that desire for food which
springs three times day from just below the
human breast Congressonal-ike appropri-
almost governmental desire for consumption.
Layer after layer has been added beneath the
skin. Second and third chins appear where
Adams apple once frolicked in solitary and
joyous leanness. Mrs Overwaite tips the
scale at twenty-five pounds more than when
she started taking the cure and Mr.. Broad's
untimely taking off has been brought danger
ousy near because of the half hundredweight
more of himself he has acquired. The vindic-
tive gentleman ceases to speak to his old col
lege chun,, Rocks. His long standing affec-
tions have been definitely and finally alienated
1t is only too evident to Broad that he is the
victim of a cruel hoax at the hands of man
he had always considered a friend. He asked
for a stone and he was given the most fatten-
ing of breads.
AS to the lady, it occurs to her to consult her
medical man once more. She finds him still

young couple whose curiosity he had excited.

He looked at his violin, which he had stood
on the ground beside him and whose cords
still trembled against his leg. Magda under
stood and stopped him with a gesture

very quickly how to use it, didn't you? You
were delivered over to your passion? And you
became ceebrated?"

"Ah," cried the old man; that is what we
must strive for. And your words give me
more joy than fortune could"
The two men shook hands. Put at his ease
by this mark of sympathy, the obscure artist
