BY GEORGE MUNSON. Spur a horse? You're joking, sir. Yes, | wear spurs, because I ride with my heels out and my toes in, but if you'll look again, sir, you'll see that there's no rowels in them. Same way with my whip. It's restful like for the hand, and I'd touch my horse’s flank with the handle end, to signal him, but as for hitting him—why, there ain't no animal more willing than a horse, nor one with more human intel- ligence or more anxious to please, if you treat him right. Yes, I suppose it is a gift, this un- derstanding of horses. Women? Bet- ter than men, I should say—that is, some men understand horses, but pret- ty near every woman who likes them gets to know them. That’s what I liked about Miss Milliccnt. Came of 'a horse family, Kentucky born, and what she didn't know about horses—why, she'd talked horse since she was a baby, and her father, Colonel Emery, owned the finest stud in Lexington, Miss Mil- licent was brought up with the idea that a man who couldn’t ride was only half masculine. And riding's more than sticking on and waving the reins up and down or clicking to say “go faster.” I guess that click was what first put me wise to Faulkner. Finely made man he was, fine clothes, though some- what flashy to my taste, and Miss Mil- licent certainly took to him. But when I heard that little click of his I was on to him. A gentleman, sir, will no more click to his horse than he A little pres- | 0 me. But 1'd lend her to yon—ou' ng it's you—maybe, if you wouldn't ride her too hard. What's the game?™ When | told him he swore he wouldn't take any money. It was as good as a play, be said, and he hoped | I'd tell him al! about it the next day. You see, when you touched Nancy's flank, ever so lightly, she'd run round and round hike a spinning wheel until you got dizzy and tumbled off. And of course, none of those country jays who tried to ride her for the ten-dollar prize had sense enough to keep his heels off of her. “Can’'t let you have Beauty today, sir.” 1 told Mr. Faulkner the next morning. “She’s a little off her teed, sir. But I've a nice little mare here— quiet as a babe and fit for a lady,” 1 says, knowing he was a coward with horses. For only a coward would have misused Beauty so. “But don't spur her,” 1 added, “because if she 1s a little slow she does her best, and she ain't 80 young as she was.” You see, mister, I had to give the | fellow his chance. I warned him— that's fair, I knew he'd tear her flanks, but I wasn't going to let Miss Millicent suffer if 1 could help it. “Mr. Drew,” says | that same morn- ing, “if you was to take a little ride out to Holmes' Height about eleven o'clock, maybe it wouldn't come amiss.” “What d' you mean, Hicks?” he asks, sharp as a needle, “Nothing more than that, sir,” I an- swered. “Take Beauty, sir. She's been mishandled and she'll like to feel | she's carrying a gentleman again.” He grinned. “I don't quite follow you, but I'm on, Hicks," he says. And s0 [ saddled my little mare and rode out with Miss Millicent and Faulkner, and fell behind, as a groom ought to when his young lady has a beau. I fell a good ways behind that day, and when we reached Holmes' Height they had disappearcd over the rise. 1 knew Faulkner would just about have got up courage to try his spurs by the time the trick mare was winded. And sure enough, hardly had I got to the i | a8 it's been understood I ] them. And g0, mister, when I heard ? | on than taking Miss Millicent riding.” needs to make him trot, and a pres- sure plus a tightening of the reins means canter. That's horse ianguage, suppose since horses first had saddles set on top when I heard Miss Millicent screaming—not with fear, but with laughter. | There sat Faulkner, clinging to the mare's neck with both hands, his feet | working iike windmills, and the little | mare going round and round and round ; in a lot as big as a circus ring. His | coat tails was flying, and he was swear- | ing and hollering, and presently hei flew over the mare's neck and she stopped stock still and watched him‘ Faulkner clicking under his breath to Beauty, I said to myself: “You'd be more in place driving a butcher's wag- Then again he didn’t ride natural. He looked as though he'd taken 12 lessons for $10 to make a hit with R Miss Millicent. Sat straight enough, | 1114 In @ pool of the stiekiest tnc toes in, hands down—until the trotting | *"¥¥here in the neig | ! SOHOHIMICHIPIONLO0NS | began.

So Mr. Drew sees Miss Milli- cent home, and Faulkner and 1 fol-‘ lows, me leading the mare and him INO PUZZLE FOR HER | | By ALLIE YOUNGER. The sharpnosed man looked dubt ously after the retreating figure of the stenographer. “I'm in & quandary what to do with that girl,” he said. "I don’'t know whether to fire her or raise her sal 'lry. | don't know what to make of her, She s the quintessence of either innocence or deceit, I can’t figure out which. Any way, she's got me into & t ickle. W:Alzo:l two months ago some mis- i‘uldd member of a certain benevolent soclety sent me two tickets for a char ity ball. 1 was surprised to get those ! tickets, for | supposed everybody who | knew me knew my sentiments in re- lnrd to charity. “] don't believe in it. I don’t be- lieve in giving things away. I have to work for every cent I have and I ex- pect other people to do the same | thing. To my mind these folks that dance for charity and sing for charity and cut all sorts of didoes for benev- olent purposes are only degrading the | masses they are supposed to benefit. | I had expressed this opinion so often 'that 1 was amazed that anybody should ask me to countenance & ibenevolent scheme by buying tickets i for & ball. Naturally, I hastened to send the tickets back. I put them into an envelope and handed them to the Ilmoxnpher. “‘Here, Miss Drew, I sald, ‘you know what to do with these.’ “rYes, sir; she said. ‘Thank you. | “1t struck me then that there was . no occaslon for her to thank me for ' requesting her to perform her regular . routine of duties, but I didn’t give the " matter a second thought until three weeks later, when a representative of | the .benevolent society called to col- | | Tect $10 for the ball tickets. { “‘But I didn't use the tickets,’ I said. ‘I don’t believe in charity.’ “ ‘I beg your pardon,’ he said. ‘They were used. Here are the numbers sent you and here are the tickets bearing the same number which were taken in at the door. If you didn't want them you ought to have returned them to us at once, as requested in our communication to you.’ “‘But I did return them,’ I argued. Then I called in the stenographer. “‘Miss Drew,” I sald, ‘didn’t I give you two ball tickets some time ago to be returned to the benevolent so- clety?”' “‘Why, no,’ she saliq, ‘you didn’t say anything about returning them. You simply said I knew what to do wit.h] them.’ “‘And what did you do with them? | I asked. { “‘I went to the ball, said she. ‘1] thought that was what you meant. “I was furious, but I saw the benev- olent society had ti:e drop on me, and I paid the $10.
