heart to a sympathy expressed in

was an emotional rather than an
intellectual liberal. Her hatred of
poverty seemed to be unreasoned,
instructive, impulsive; not coldly
rationalized. Similarly, her dread of
war arose from an Unborn moral
resistance to carnage.
But Miss Gale was a person of
matured distinction OF character.
Her charm was the outward aspect
OF a spirit essentially good and brave.

Backstage at Madison Square Garden, the

champion Lady Rider of the World.

Close behind them came young lady in
flaming red evening gown, accompanied by
young man in evening clothes, whose only
other mark of respectability was monocle in
one eye. This gentleman ignored Hawks pres
ence for the simple reason that he was utterly
absorbed in the young lady and was saying in
loud. determined voice, For the forty-seventh
time, will you marry me?" To which request
the young lady merely said, Great guns,
Arizona's parior is as big as oorral!' Then,
mercifully in the midst of this incredible in
vasion, came the madam and the master, all
smiles and followed by stampede of strange
characters, many still in costume, most of them
with the faint odor of horses clinging to their
persons.

The lovely chromium and blue bar was flung
open and instantly filled. Hawks and the second

A free jamboree at Arizona's was nothing
new. And that it happened to be held in a pent-
house instead of on the ranch was minor mat

Clad in soft white doeskin which dripped
from among the sleek and docile animals in the
stalls, Arizona felt the city slip away from her.
The sword of Damocles that was Mrs. Schuy-
lers formal party vanished like a nightmare
and even the beloved Tony was temporarily
forgotten. The horse she picked nuzzled into
the palm of her hand and they exchanged
friendly little noises.
When she returned to Ruby's dressing room,
she found it filled with purple orchids, in the
midst of which a tall young man was making
futile attempt to embrace the Worlds Cham
pion Lady Horsewoman. For the forty-sixth

The audience save for Chick conspicuously

wild surge of happiness broke inside her -
that wonderful sense of freedom and mastery
which always came at such moment Simul-
taneously both girls stood in their stirrups. One

occurred - they had exchanged mounts and

animals to their hind legs and waving their ten
