$3.50 NAG NOW

HORSE
BY HARRY COSTELLO
"Well, I'll give $65 for her."


"Well, I'll give $65 for her."
"Sold!"
And then Quicksilver, gray
mare, 1872 hands high, by pure
bred Percheron, King by name,
out of a better than half-bred
mare, name unknown, became
the property Of Gen. Billy
Mitchell.
Once at General Billy's place,
Quicksilver started her shinan-
nigans. She jumped out of her
stalls. She jumped over wire,
over tree stumps. She raised the
very devil: she bucked, she raved,
she ranted.
She'll kill some one, sure as
shooting" remarked Gener a
Billy.
Along came Otto Furr. Now,
Otto knows his horses. He liked
the cut of her jib.
I'll give 5000 for her." said
Otto to General Billy.
mot until I tell you the un,
vanished truth about her."
answered General Billy, who told
the whole tale to Otto, and the
whole tale really was a bad story.
Otto bought her just the same,
and took her home.
A Rare Jumper
The gray mare became more un-
ruly than ever. She now took to
jumping barbed-wire fences,
whether any one were astride her
or not. Her reputation spread.
It was a terrible reputation. She
was set down as bad actress,
with a bad temper and the man
ners of a devil.
Miss Julia B. Whiting saw the
gray mare.
"Just man-shy, that's ALL" said
Julie, and she bought Quicksilver.
Miss Whiting spent time with
the mare. She hunted her with
the Orange County Hunt. BY
degrees the mare reacted to a
woman's handling. She developed
a beautiful gallop. Her form in
jumping was a cause for wonder
ment.
Today Quicksilver has every
thing jumper should have. Hel
value as a show horse has in
creased so tremendously that Miss
Whiting doesn't hunt her any
longer.
'Tt took time, and great
palms," says Miss Whiting, "but
she really is a darling now.
oh, I've had offers for her
handsome offers-but I just
couldn't sell her."

Quicksilver has won some 2!

STATE DEPT. POST
REPORTED FILLED.
Prof. Moley of Columbia Ex.
pected to Succeed Assis-
tant Secretary Rogers.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Prof. Raymond Moley, professor os
public law at the Columbia Uniyersityl
has been selected by the President-elect
to be Assistant Secretary of State, it
was declared in authoritative sources
today.
Prof Moley is expected to replace
James Grafton Rogers, the present
Assistant Secretary of State, who viii
leave March to return to his chair
as professor of international law at
the University of Colorado and to law
practice in Denver.
Although Prof. Moley will be only the
third ranking officer in the State De-
partment, it is said that his position
will be of utmost Importance in view
of the fact that he had been one of
the most intimate advisors of Mr..
Roosevelt on international affairs. He
has already played very prominent
part in all the debt negotiations be-
tween President Hoover and the Presi-
oent-elect and has been present at tha
two conferences between the outgoing
and the incoming President.
While Senator Cordell Hull, who Is
prominently mentioned as the future
Secretary of State is an expert on
tariffs, Mr.. Moley is supposed to have
an intimate knowledge of the debt
question. knowledge which he has
gathered mainly since the election Of
Mr.. Roosevelt.
