At ft o'clock tho other afternoon I nccl
dentally caught sight of Mr, Dowser skulking
nliont tho back yard. lie had noted very rest

omethlng was wrong. A caller camo nnd I
could not get out to tho barn for half nn
hour, nnd then It wn too Into. A homo Mood

tho horno.
"Hnvo you you," I gnspod.
"Hnvol whntl"
"Ilought nnotlier horso, after thoeo two

"Dreadful failure! I bought ono horso
nnd ho objected to tho neighborhood. Tlio

"Mr, llowsei, plenso don't buy another
horse. Wo don't need ono, you know, and
you will surely got swindled."
"Swindled I 1 get swindled on n horso!
Mr. How nor, tho man who can swlndlo mo
on a homo hn yet to I hi borul I know 'em
from ears to heels, 1 can rend 'em llko so
many liooks. Wo need n horso. Hero was n
chnnco for 11 great luirgnln mid I Improved It."
"I'm so so sorry I"
"That's Just llko you, but I can't holp It. I
don't proKo to thrown hundred dollars over
my shoulder. I bought Hint nnlmnl for t'XO,
and Just in tlmo to hend olf a mnn who would
havo lccn glad to pay 00. I wouldn't tako
(100 for him a ho stands thcro."
I wns much put out, nnd nftcr n tlmo Mr,
Dowser followed mo Into tho houso and said!
"Just wait n week nnd If ho doesn't turn
out nil right I'll sell hltn for tho (S00 nnd
glvo you tho extra (100."
Nothing further was said until thonoxt
morning, though In tho mennthno I heard
Mr. Dowser telephoning nliout condition
tHiwdcrs, bran mnshcrs, too weights, qunrter
boots, hnmlholdcrs and throat sweaters. It
scorned to mo that ho ordered about (60 worth
of tlioso things. Twice In tho night ho got
up and raided tho back window to listen, nnd
ho wn out of lied nnd out to tho bam with
tho first beams of daylight. Ho car.io into
breakfast with n smllo all over his face, and
nunouncedt
"Mrs. Dowser, yourself and your child are
Invited to a sleigh rldonftor breakfast."
"You don't mean Itl"
"Dut I do. Not only Hint, but I hopo to
show you n gnlt that will throw snow In tho
eye of nil who follow."
Ho had borrowed a neighbor's cutter nnd
belli, and after breakfast I got ready. Mr.
Dowser said It wn better to mnko our start
from tho barn, nnd when I got out thcro I
found a lengthy, raw boned, wild oyed equlno
pawing tho floor and working his cars and
anxious to bo oft".
"Ho looks dangerous," I said after watching
him a ml mi to.
"So docs a stufTed lion, but ho isn't. How
over, If you nro n coward I'll nsk Mrs. John
son to go."
"Mr. Dowser, you aro as polo as a ghost
and all In a tremUc. You aro afraid of hltn
yourself."
"W whntl Afraid of him, or any other
horso living I You can't go with mo, Mrs.
Bowser I Go right Into tho house I"
I held tho horso whllo ho shut tho barn
door, nnd I sized tho nnlmal up as n vicious
brute, I fully expected a calamity of somo
sort, but I would not back out nor let Mr.
Dowser go alone, I entreated him to un
hitch, but ho glared at mo and ropllodi
"Havo you gono clean daft! This horso Is
as gontlo as u rabbit, and I'd ns soon lot tho
baby drive him. Whoa, Claudlusl Now
you may go."
Dut Claudius didn't go. IIo pawed tho
earth and tho nlr, stood on lib hind feet and
seemed to havo struck a circus.
"Is this a blooded horso P I asked of Mr.
Dowser, who was looking puzzled.
"Certainly. Ho'sa Fearnaught."
"Then ho doesn't fear us, does hoi And do
Fearnaught horses always go through theso
cunning tricks before they start ofTP
"Keen stllll Go on, Claudlusl"
Claudius dropped down on all fours long
enough to uso his hind foot nml send tho dash
board of tho cutter Hying high nbovo our
heads, nnd as I picked tho silvers out of my
bonnet I nskod Mr. Dowser If ho hadn't bet
ter let tho baby drlvo. Just then tho boost
started. Ho started with n sort of hop, Bkip
and Jump which gave mo tho Impression
that tho cutter wanted to get over tho fcuco
into tho noxt yard. After gottlng a start tho
horso laid himself out for n run, and as I re
alized this I said to Mr. Dowser, whoso eyes
hung out llko onions:
"IIo was warranted perfectly docilo, wasn't
hof This Is only his way of gottlng down
town, Isn't itl"
"He's running away I" shouted Mr. Dowser,
as his hat blow off ami a groat clod of snow
whizzed by his car.
"But you ain't afraid of any horso living,
you know J It's probably somo freak on tho
!art of Uantllus. liat a uoiigtiuui jinco I"
Whatovcr elso could bo bald ngnum tlio
horso, ho was n runner. Ho had a contract to
draw us nt tho rate of a .milo every throo
minutes, and ho didn't stop to count tho cost.
How wo managed to dotlgo streot cars, sleighs,
cutters nnd trucks, nnd to turn three or four
corner In safety I can't oxplaln, but it was,
Icrhnps, becnuso I had tlio lines and Mr.
Dowser was looking for a soft placo to fnll
out on. Tho bruto Mopped after a two mllo
dash,aud when I brought him up to tho curb
stone a o1icomau had to lift Mr. Bowser out
nnd glvo him a swallow of cordial to braco
him up,
"I had him almost stopped when a cramp
caught mo," explained Mr. Bowser to tho
crowd.
"Itatsl" called half a dozen voices. "Say,
old man, you aren't fit to drlvo no such beast
as thatl"
"Nobody but a fool would havo bought
such a brutol"
"Como off, old man, and buy you a hobby

Mr. Bowser and I went homo on tho car.
Wo didn't say much until wo reached tho
house, I wasn't going to say much thcu, but
Mr. Bowser turned on mo wltlit
