"I will ride Blnck Pan, Jenkins,"
said Peggy calmly.
"Tos, miss," replied Jenkins, disap
pearing In the direction of tlie stables.
Holcomb frowned and prepared to
follow In the wake of the grooui.
"Of course you know you can't ride
Black Dan, Peggy," he said Impatient
ly. "He has thrown you twice, and I
have said no woman shall mount him
again. Any other horsu In the sta
bles"?
"Thank you," said Peggy coldly. "1
don't care to ride any other horse. You
are such an old grunny, Bob!"
"Shall I order Pretty Girl?" asked
Holcomb patiently.
"No. I have ordered Black Dan,"
she replied defiantly.
^ "I must countermand the order, Peg
gy. No woman shall ride him with my
permission," said Bob stiffly.
Peggy's eyes flashed ominously, and
her pretty Hps stiffened Into a straight
line. "If you countermand my order.
Bob Holcomb," she flashed angrily,
"you may"? She choked back a little
?UI?.
"Whutr
"You may keep the ring you were
golug to give ine," finished Teggy re
morselessly.
"Do you mean It 7* he asked, com lug
closer to her and looklug downjnto her
wide gray eyes.
"Yob." said Peggy hardily.
Holcomb turned away with- a little
droop of his broad shoulders. "Never
theless. Peggy, 1 must countermand
the order," he said gravely. Then ho
went dowu the sU'ps and disappeared
through the stable gateway.
Peggy Lin wood stared after him
with hot cheeks and flashing eyes.
Her little brown hands tightened their
grasp on the arms of the low chair.
"I'm very glad I broke It off," Blie
thought mechanically. "Fancy being
married to a man with such a nasty
temper as Bob Holcomb! What' a fool
I was to fall In love with him:"
She sped upstairs to the chintz sit
ting room, where her mother sat be
fore a cozy fire. "Mother, dear, let us
go home nt oucc*" she began abruptly.
"I can't stay In Bob Holcoml/s houso
another minute!" She sank breath
lessly on the couch.
Mrs. Llnwood adjusted her glasses
and looked quizzically at ber daugh
ter. "We mustn't spoil Bob's house
party, dear," she said mildly. "I told
him we would stay until Monday, and
we must do so. Haw you quarreled
with him, Peggy?"
"Yes," said Peggy shortly.
"What about? Wiw It worth while?"
"I'd rather not teO, mother," admit
ted Peggy guiltily.
"Oh, well!" Mrs. Llnwood smiled
furtively Into her book. "If 1 were go
lug to quarrel, Peggy, dear, I wouldn't
wear that brown dress. You know It
Is so unbecoming, and when a woman
disagrees with a man, she should wear
her prettiest frock. Now, the blue
linen"?
But Peggy had tiown out of the
room and was anxiously surveying
herself In the chevai glt.ss In her own
pretty apartment. "Mother's right,"
she sighed miserably. "1 look a fright
In this frock. It's too late to 'pretty
up' very much, but? where Is the blue
linen f
? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Lute tbut afternoon Peggy encoun
tered Hows Dane (sauntering across tbe
Ihwu uuder tbe shade of century old
elniM.
"Congratulate uie, Peirgy, deur," an
nounced Bess, airily extending u hIIui
band.
Peggy gasped.
"Not Frederic? Bess, dear"?
"Not Frederic," interrupted Miss ,
Dane coolly. "Guess again. Peg, and
In the meautlme admire luy ring. Isn't
It the sweetest ever?"
Sncb an odd ring it was too. In
numerable small diamonds formed tbe
petals of a daisy, with a blazing topaz
for tbe yellow ceuter. Peggy looked
at it with wildly boating heart.
"It's more suitable for you, Peg, be
cause it's a marguerite. Nevertheless
it suits your bumble servant right |
down to the ground, as tbe poet has
It." Miss Dane sighed complacently
as she seated herself on the grass. I
"Come, sit down, Peg, und discuss
tbe details," she coaxed. "You will
be maid of honor, of course."
"Of course, Bess," murmured Peggy
miserably, "when? when"?
"Don't say 'when' again," admonish
ed Bess mildly. "I'll tell you when I
know. Bob hasn't even asked me to
uame the day. There were other and
more Important matters to go over,"
she blushed warmly. "But you and
I can talk about the frocks and tbe
weddlug and? about Bob himself."
"1 didn't even suspect," said Peggy
humbly as she nibbled n blade of
grass.
"No one suspects. It will not be an
nounced until I go home. Don't you
think him tbe best fellow In the world.
Peg. dear?"
"Of course," cried Peggy lightly.
"And now, Bess, you must let me go,
for I am going for a gallop." '
"Not on Black Dan?" questioned Miss
Dane playfully.
"No, Indeed," said Peggy warmly.
"He has thrown mo twice, you know.
I shall ride Pretty Girl."
"Wlso child," murmured Bess, sur
veying her ring dreamily.
As Peggy rode slowly out of the
lodge gate and turned Into the lane
that was her favorite bridle path b?r
l|?t ptotip* w$? ggiife QftM.
mrr n ;
ainlulug licr engagement ring with
loving admiration.
Peggy's warm, Impulsive heart swell
ed with grief and indignation. Light
indeed was Bob Holcomb's love when
he could shift so quickly from one
sweetheart to another! How conven
ient for such as he to carry an engage
ment ring In his pocket!
Peggy uad never seen the ring until
it Clashed from Miss Dane's finger, but
Bob had told her It was the prettiest
ring In the world and that there was
no other like it. It had come that
morning In the registered mail, and he
had whispered that he wanted her to
try It on after breakfast.
And then had come the Black Dan
episode, and she had not seen Bob
since. He had absented himself from
the luncheon table under plea of busi
ness. No wonder he had been ashamed
to face her!
Pretty Girl ambled down the lane,
where the thick hedge on either side
made a long green arbor through
which the late afternoon sunlight fil
tered on Peggy's shining hair. A
thrush, poised on the topmost bough
of a young chestnut, poured out a rap
turous song. The liquid notes fell on
the girl's ear with heartbreaking
sweetness, and she leaned her sunny
head down on Pretty Girl's neck and
sobbed.
The mare stopped and luruea uer
bead with mild surprise. Some one
was coming down the lane ou a tall
gray horse? souie one with discontent
ed eyes that lighted wonderfully when
they saw Peggy's drooping head.
"Peggy, dear! What Is the matter?"
Bob Holcouib was benulng over his
late fiancee, and one strong hand drew
her bead to his shoulder.
Peggy withdrew herself with u
frightened cry. "How dare you, sir?"
she said indignantly. She was obliv
ious to the traces of tears on her pink
cheeks.
"Oh, come now, Peggy," entreated
Holcomb, "I know you didn't mean
what you said and"?
"Bessie Dane has told me of her en
gagement to you, Bob," said Peggy
icily.
"Engagement! To Bessie! Fudge!"
said Holcombe weakly. "Why? of
course she Is engaged to Bob Mills.
He's staying over ut Beecheroft itud
rode over here this morning, and I
guess they fixed It up then. Seen her
ring?"
Peggy nodded. There was a singing
in her heart, and she wondered If Bob
could hear It.
"Trashy looking ring." commented
Holcomb, fumbling In bis pocket; then
he drew forth a leather case and ex
tracted a ring, the conventional en
gagement ring? a large solitaire. As
he slipped it on Peggy's willing finger
he said tenderly:
"Now, most people would It was
Just like a hundred other engagement
rings, but it Isn't. There isii't another
ring like it In the world, Peggy, be
cause It means that we are betrothed
with It. It means that our love will
always overcome any foolish misun
derstandings, eh, Peggy, darling?" he
murmured as be slipped bis arm
around her waist
And Peggy smiled assent, with a
light of new understanding in her
eyes.
Down Growing Root*.
The unalterable downward trend of
the first root is all the more remark
able when we consider that the sub
sequent ramifications grow out in any
direction which seems to be desirable.
Many years ago Colonel Greenwood
started some experiments by fixing
horse chestnut seeds In inverted pots.
The first root to appear developed
downward Into the light, but naturally
soon shriveled up and died. Not so the
secondary roots, which had spread Into
the soil of the pot. The upper parts
of the plauts, which had presumably
first grown to one side and then shot
upward, continued to iiourlsh exceed
ingly. It is -related that for no_ less
than twenty years Colonel Greenwood
kept one of these chestnuts alive, all
the time In an upside down condltlou
as far as the roots were concerned.
When the plant became too large for
! Its original receptacle Its roots were
I incased in a chimney pot, several of
| these latter being called Into requlsl
I tlon as the experiment continued.
Finally the root was turned over a
wall and conducted to a mound of
earth on the other side, at last being
allowed to take a natural course. This
the long suffering tree readily did and
remained for some time a great curi
osity with Its long arching root.? Sci

The Magician and the King.
A magician ouce traveled to New
Zealand. It was arranged that be
abould give au exhibition of mlud read
ing before tbe king of the Maoris. Aft
er some parleying It was decided that
tbe king himself should conceal the
article which the magician was to dls
1 cover.
The mind reader left the room and
after a time was brought back blind
folded, as Is the custom In such per
formances. After some time tbe ma
gician declared that the hidden article
was In the king's mouth. His majesty
shook bis head savagely In the nega
live. Tbe magician Insisted upon his
point and demanded that tbe king's
mouth he opened wide. The king re
fused.
The magician Insisted, and tbe .ex
citement became very great until at
last tho dusky king reluctantly opened
his Jaws. Tho article was not there!
The next Instant, however, the king
was taken with a violent fit of cough
ing. He had tried to swallow the lost
article, a button, but could not and
was compelled to cough it up.
The Maoris were uproarious with
mirth. They did not know which to
admire the more? the wisdom of the
magician or the heroism of the king.
