particularly noticeable.

"O effemli. " said the spokesman ol

of the trouble he - tve us to run after
him." And that is au offense which

-i'-H I I'M
[Original]
It Is not unusual tor either a man or
a woman to come between an engaged
i couple, but it Is uuusual for the course
of true love to be turned awry by a
! horse. The story begins back In the
j Jays when the Indians In the west
! were constantly breaking away from
their reservations and slaughtering all
palefaces who came In their way. It
was then that Florence Brooks was
visiting an older sister at Fort R? the
wife of Rn officer In the United States
army. And then It was that, the gar
rison having marched away, leaving
the women and children to the protec
tion of half a company under the com
mand of a lieutenant, another tribe
consisting of several hundred wirrlors
came dowu to take possession of the
fort.
When a friendly redskin rode into
the luclosure and announced the com
ing of his fellows, every man being
needed for defence, Floreuce Brooks
volunteered to ride to the nearest post,
fifty miles distant, for succor, Lleu
teuant Howard Whiting, In command,
placed her on his own Kentucky bred
horse, Comanche, and Sent her flying
out of the fort, shoutlug after her,
"Their lives depend upon you!" How
the horse enabled her to cross the
path of the coming Indians an hour
before they reached the point of Inter
section. how ten miles farther on she
met a squadron of cavalry, how when
the Indians reached the fort they
found n force ample to protect It, need
only be referred to here.. From that
day Oiuflnche was beloved by the
whole garrison, and especially by Miss
Brooks. As for Miss Brooks, she was
beloved by the whole garrison, especial
ly Lleuteuaut WhlMng.
And now the view of alkali plains
surrounding Fort R. has changed tc
vacant lots on the outskirts of a city.
Miss Brooks rides In a trolley car In
stead of on hotseback, and Lieutenant
XVIiitlug spends the greater part of the
dny In a recrblting office In one of the
dingiest streets of the city. But earlj
In the afternoon he leaves hi* sergeant
In charge j^nd, mounted on Comanche
rides past Miss Brooks' abode. She la
watching for him from an upper Win
dow. He raises his hat, and from be
hind the curtain she throws him a kiss
But for orffc thing the lover would bt
supremely happy. He Is Jealous o?
i Comanche.
"Why," be asked on Joluinf? hh
fiancee after one of his rkles, "do you I
always feast your eyes on my -hors..
and pay uo attention to me? This aft
ernooa when I rode by you didn't even
j see when I raised my hat. You waved I
your hand long after I hnd done so."
"I love Comanche," she replied.
Miss Brooks left the city for n month. I
and when she returned her lover In
formed her that he had sold Comanche
I The reason he gave for doing so was
that he hnd been ordered to rejoin his
regiment In the west, and, Comanche
having become old, besides gone lame,
the lieutenant would not feel warrant
ed In transporting him so far, especial
ly as he would need a serviceable ani
mal. Miss Brooks looked astonished
when the news was Imparted to her
and argued long and well against the
necessity for the sale. But Whiting
had nothing but his pay, which was
not sufficient to keep so expensive a
pet, and jdie was obliged to admit,
which she did reluctantly, that he j
could hardly have done otherwise.
They parted with au embrace, warm
enough on the part of the man, but not
tin.- girl.
However. It gradually came over
Miss Brooks? planning as she was for
the coming wedding? that Comanche
could not have iweu Included In the
calculations. Indeed, it was very dif
ficult for her to figure out the problem
of liviug on Whiting's pay, even with
out what Comanche would have cost
She had an Income of $800, which sh?
must relinquish upon her marriage.
This left only a second lieutenant's
pay, with commutation for fuel and
quarters, on which the couple must
live. After all. Whiting was right.
There is no doubt that all would have
gone well bad It not been for a certain
Inopportune meeting. One morning
while .Mies Brooks was out buying her
trousseau she saw a man driving a cart
with an enormous load, on It. The
horse was unable to got It up an In
cline, and the driver was belaboring
him unmercifully. Miss Brooks, natu
rally fond of horses, approached to pro
test. The horse turned his head, look
ed at her out of a pair of melancholy
eyes and whinnied. He was Comanche.
Miss Brooks embraced him and wept.
Th' next mail curried to Lieutenant
WhitlL a breaking of the engagement
from Miss Brooks. No satisfactory
reason was given. The real reason was
that she loved Comanche better than
Whiting. On her Income, which, If not
married, she would retain till death,
Bhe could live and take cave of Co
manche. She bought him for $30 and
kept him in royal equine style.
Comanche lived five years after be
ing rescued from the melancholy posi
tion Into which hi? master had sold
him. Then Miss Brooks, after a de
cent period of widowhood, began to
think of her lover of other days. He,
hearing that his rival was dead, sought
her. They were married aud went to
live at the p jst where he was stationed.
"Whiting," said his colonel banter
Ingly one day, "1 hear your wife kept
you waiting five yea*s while she lavish
ed her affections on a horse. I didn't
know I had an officer under my com
mand with so little capnclty for pleas
ing the fair sex."
"Colonel," replied Whiting, "1 would
much rather have been kept waiting
for the woman I love by a horse than
?y wme men I have known."
