Quite black thorough- btreds are rare, white still more so, sray uncommon even among the less wxalted of public performers. The “Stud Book” would not bear out these statements where colors uncommon on the race course are described. The ex- planation is, of course, that the horse is there described as he appeared as a foal. An owner of a bay thoroughbred oked up the “Stud Book” to find his parchase pictured as a chestnut and somplained to the men of whom he aad bought the horse. The former «uwmer assured him that the descrip- tion was correct at the time it was en- tered. Other owners, less certaln as to what color may appear when the first voat has been cast, have before now made such singular entries as “gray, roam or chestnut.”—8t. James’ Gazette, The Porcupine's Quills. The spines are very loosely attached %o the porcupine, and they are very <harp--as sharp as a needle at the water end. At almost the slightest touch they penetrate the nose of a dog wr the clothing or flesh of a person waching the porcupine and stick there, woming away from the animal without zay pull being required. The facility In eatching hold with one end and let, ving go with the other has sometimes «amused people to think that the spines =@ been thrown at them. The outer «2% of the spines, for some distance von, Is covered with small barbs. With a warning blast of the horn, a man, a girl and an automobile whirled around a sharp curve and went spin- ning along the country road. On and on they raced, shooting past rows of maple and chestnut trees flaunting their glory of new leaves in the soft spring sunshine, slowing down to cross a little brook that wandered noisily between clumps of alder bushes, then on again with the fresh spring wind rushing past their faces and the huge motor beneath them purring like a giant cat. Coming suddenly upon a stretch of level pike, Billy Weston bent over the lever and let out the machine another notch. Even so able a driver as Bllly could not speed a motor car and attend to anything else while he was doing it; so, realizing that he was intent on the long, straight road before him, Kath- erine fuston leaned back in her seat and studied the face beside her erit- feally. For the past two years—ever since he had formed the habit of flinging his ‘TELL ME ABOUT HER,” SHE DEMANDED. tempestuous heart at her feet in season and out of season—Billy's clean shav- en, clear cut face had been to Miss Huston as the open page of a book. But this was not quite the same Billy from whom she had parted. The book had appeared, so to speak, in a differ- ent edition. Her mind flew back to that parting so delicate a game. She opened her eyes on him under her heavy motor veil. “Of course you love her very dearly,” she said lightly. fo her chagrin a hot flush dyed her face from brow to chin. Billy drew a tense breath. “Love her! I cannot talk about it. It's like saying my prayers,” he said reverently. Miss Huston leaned back in ber seat, Why had she never realized before how lovable Billy was? They sat in silence, their thoughts keeping time to the monstrous beat of the motor as the car swung smoothly along the hard road. Billy spoke first. “She will be at Mrs. Monteith’s,” he said half shyly. Of course she would. If the motor continued to tear-along at its present rate and they didn’t land in a heap at the foot of one of the steep hills, she would be there in about half an hour. Dear, clumsy Billy! She had half a mind to tell him that she understood. His next move was more skillful, “I'm mighty grateful to you for put- ting me on the right track,” he went on reminiscently. “If it hadn't been for you— Great Scott,” he broke off, “what a fool I used to make of mgy- self! I don't wonder you had no use for me.” That he should refer to the past so lightly piqued her. He needed to be taken down a little. “Why bother about the past when you are sure of the present?’ she flashed back. “Why, indeed?’ Billy was his cheer- ful, smiling self again, “Only I was no end of a fool and I've always felt that I wanted to apol- ogize to you for ranting around as I did. Though it was real enough to me —at least I thought so then—and I was terribly cut up when you threw me over,” he went on cheerfully, “and for a good while afterward, too.” “And then?” “Oh, then I met—her.” Billy's voice was very gentle. He turned impul- sively toward his companion. “When you see her,” he said radiantly, “you will understand.” A shadow crossed Miss Huston's face. Of course the whole thing was only a ruse of Billy's, but for a begin- ner his part was remarkably well played. There was a little jolt as Billy less- ened speed; then the car swung smoothly into a wide shaded drive- way leading to a rambling old stone house. A laughing, chattering crowd filled the wide porch—tea tables were being set in the old fashioned garden, but as Mrs. Monteith gathered her in a vigorous embrace Katherine was con- scious of but two things—that at sight of them a slender, dark eyed girl had left one of the groups and followed STOCK CLEANING We are now offering the bal- ance of our SUMMER FOOT.
