A WiP$Q/y ConPessionK by" ... <sy Qldele Garrisom^ Madge Long* for an Exit a* Ilorse Dances. Hunched up in an ungraceful heap, clinging frantically to the pom mel of thp old fashioned saddle which Jerry had purchased at a farm auc tion for the equipment of his an -tiquated horse, "Lady,” I managed somehow to keep from falling. The ridiculous animal pirouetted faithful ly to the strains of the dance meas ure which Jerry Tirer, his eyes gleaming with unholy mirth, was in dustriously producing from' a har monica. All the yokel's enjoyment of a practical joke was In his face, but with a sudden remembrance of one of his mother's confidences I realized thatj something more than the love of a jest had prompted his action in Setting his horse to dancing around sn imaginary ring while I was upon her bark. "Jerry's a master hand at gettln' even with anybody that crosses him.” Mrs. Ticer had said, admiration of her son showing through her ex pressed disaproval of hint. "He don't say nothin' when lie's sore; you'd never know it except for his eyes, but he always manages to do some thing so that the person who made him mad wishes they hadn't, that's all. I agreed fervently with the last clause of the conversation, which I remembered with the sharpened fac ulties supposed to belong to persons going down for the third time. Jerry evidently had been deeply offended at my rebuke concerning his teach ing the children to stand upon "Lady’s” hack while riding her, and had gratified his resentment and his risibilities at the same time. A Suffering in Silence. I opened my mouth to shout a peremptory eonimand to stop the horse's /lancing, but closed it again grimly, fx would not show the white feather before the eyes of Marion and Junior who were watching the ridiculous performance with wide open and admiring eyes. I had no idea how long the horse would' keep dancing—into my mind flashed a re membrance of an inimitable passage from one of Dickens's novels which described a pony that would dance gnd never leave off untlll he was told to stop. I doubted that "Lady” was made of the, same heroio stuff, hut from a corner of my memory I disinterred the fact that the mare i-nce had been a circus horse—her chief value in Jerry Ticer's eyes. I feared that she would continue her terpischorean activities until she ceased to ' hear the jingling tune Which Jerrv was playing over and ( over. Fortunately the miserable oat hpd spoken the truth when he said that "Lady's” broad hack was like a rock ing chair. Gradually, as 1 became more accustomed to the motion, 1 ventured to straighten myself a little and assume more the posture of a human being and less that of a sack of oats draped over the saddle tow. Hut I did rot dare take my hands from the horn of the saddle—I had dropped the reins at the mare's first whirl into the dancing steps. I was consclou^ of presenting a most ridicu lous appearance, with my only con solation the fact that no eyes save those of Jerry. Marion and Junior were witnessing my discomfiture. I willingly would have braved one s-—b Tailored Dress VJ By M CI LEE LORR AINE Reminiscent of one's mid'.y days Is this blouse snd skirt frock and vet how Infinitely more sophisticated with Its slim straight hn-s and its air of tailored simplicity.

I could imagine, the expedition with whieh Mrs. TIcer would have brought down the curtain upon the little farce. But evidently her duties were not bringing her near a window look ing upon <he grass plot. So 1 ap peared to he doomed to circle around and around that maddening ring un til Jerry's vindictiveness should wear out, or my town resolution to stick It out should weaken. 1 gloomily planned 17 varieties of lingering deaths for the boy behind the harmonica, even while I smiled at Marlon and Junior, who, wild with delight, were clapping their hands and dancing up and down. "Jerry never let. us do that." Mar ion said, with a regret which I felt that I could never understand. “We’ve seen him do it, hut he never let us tell about It—said he wanted to surprise somebody with it. Was it you, Aunt Madge, that he wanted to surprise?" 1 nodded and smiled again inanely —speech was beyond me—but at her next words I stiffened into terrified attention. “I Jiriy Can l)n I aits of Tilings.” "Cady can do lots of other things, too. She kneels down and tumbles Jerry off her back, and The sound of. a whirring motor punctuated her sentence, and into the yard dashed Dr. Pettit's coupe, the dignified physician who makes demon-driving the only outlet for his repressed boyishness. Reside him sat a stranger, and one of the most per sonable men I ever had seen in my life. (ronyriehf. 1>25.) Republican Women Meet.

Wishing to find out what the trouble was shfe ordered her coach stopped ami entered the house. "What Is all this noise?" demanded the "queen.
