whe latter type? 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,

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
