The Iter. II. W. Pierson, I). I)., was for
stany years n traveling agent of Ilia Amrr
lean Ulbln society In tlin soiithw est. For
a part t that time liu rodo a horse (if
which he was Justly proud, nnd of which
he speaks again unit again, always In terms
of eulogy. In hi volume of reminiscences,
"In the brush." One night he arrived nt
celebrated watering place. A four horse
stagecoach drove up at the same time, uml
Dr. Pierson noticed the eyes of the driver
and the passengers fixed admiringly upon
I1I1 Jenny. The eolporteurentered tho ho

and went to tho washroom. Aa he fl 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 t
hlii ablutions and utood wiping his face,
the stage driver burst Into the room In
great excitement.
"Mr. Pierson," ho said, "will you allow
your horse to runr Tho money In up, mid
we'll have a race If you'll only nay tho

A l poke he shook In the agent' fico
a mass of bank hill drawn through hi fin
ger after the manner of gamblers In those
parts.
Mr. Plenum waa startled to hear his
name pronounced In thin way by a stranger,
hut bethought himself at once of the hotel
register. Just then a servant appeared
with his saddlebags, waiting to show him
to hi room, and with an abrupt, emphatic
"No, slrl" ho turned away,
In duo time the supper bell rang, and
Mr. Plenum stepped out of hi room upon
tho piazza. There he encountered a gentle
man who at once approached him pleasant
ly and Mild:
"I hopo, Mir, you will reconsider your de
cision, nnd allow your mare to run. I
have tiuulo a bet that tiho can outrun any
thing hero, nnd the money Is up. Allow
mo to say that I am an old Virginian, and
a Judge of horses, and If you will let her
run I iimmim to win."
lly this time the lllblo society's agent
hnd recovered his self possession. Ho
bowed politely to his Virginia friend, nnd

"Allow mo to Speak to you again, sir. I
wish to apologize. I beg your pardon, sir.
I nssuro you, sir, that nothing would In

Dr. Plersou mado somo good until red re

matter.
