Out For a "Drixfe and Has a Fctv A.dtJentures on the Way That Bring Him Home on Foot In \711er "Dismay. [Copyright, 1903. by C. B. Lewis.] THE other day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Bowser drove tip to his sate with a horse and buggy, or, rathe!:, was mi driven up by a horsey looklug man, who said to him as they got out of the 'P vehicle: as "Well, you've picked up the bargain of your life. If it wasn't that I need s, money worse than at any time in the last ten years I'd not part with this rig at any price. Indeed, I promised my mother, who owned this liofsc when a young colt and had the great'c est affection for him, thnt he should never pass out of my hands. I don't know how to explain matters to her. >g lie kind to the horse, Bowser. Be kind to him." "I assure you that I will," was the reply. "lie's got a sensitive nature. If you cuss and swear at him it will hurt his B feelings as much as if he were a worn an. Should you ever hit him with the whip it would break his heart. I have always made it a point to treat him ?* more like a human being than a horse, _ and I hope you'll keep it up. I also hope that you'll drive around to the stables every day or two and let me pat his nose and speak to him. 1 dou't want him to quite forget me." "I appreciate the sentiment and will favor It all 1 can. What did you say his name was?" "Oh. didn't I tell you? His name is P. I). Q." "That's an odd name," said Mr. Itowser as he cudgeled his brain to remember where lie had ever heard anything like it before. "Yes. rather odd. He was named by a cousin of mine who is a leading minister in Pittsburg, and I hope you won't b W ' ^ fy .. - ^ ' 1 ill I L_ Ji \ "UIH NAME IS P. D. Q." u change it. Well, ho long.

A "I was offered that family rig out there for and it is worth $300 at Ll the lowest calculation. I picked it up Jx lo save $lio() and get my health hack, y The doctor was telling me yesterday iZ that what I needed was country air, _ and 1 propose to take a ten mile ride every morning before breakfast. I want you to go out with me this aftergs noon to give the horse a trial. I know in you'll be delighted." in, "Have you paid for the rig?" H MRS. CECELIA STOWE, 9 l>s ?jj Orator, Entro Nous Club.

"Are?are you sure you know how to drive a horse?" she faltered. "What in blazes do you mean by that?" lie shouted as ho cracked the whip and sent the eat bounding out of j the room. As the outfit had been bought and j paid for Mrs. Bowser deckled to say no more for the moment, nnd the idea of a ride into tiic country was not unpleasant. She was ready in ten minutes, and as the front door closed on her she heard the cat wailing in dospuir and made up her mind there would be a tragedy of some sort before she returned. She had not fancied the looks of tko e<iuine from a window view, nnd when she came to approach him closer she realized that Mr. Bowser had been'tak- , en in and done for. The horse was not only poor in flesh and slinky 011 his legs, but lie looked tricky and vicious. la M.. I. ti-.l.t.. .<n. Dunon MIIIM'U IUU iincuiug strap his now purchase bit at him In a vengeful way and switched his tail | about. "Did you select him for his playful- j ness?" queried Mrs. Dowser as she noticed the action. "Yes, partly," replied Mr. Dowser, whose first impulse was to use the whip. "That is, I didn't want a stone or a wooden horse. That playful spirit is always a good sign in a horse, same as iu a human being. Now we are ofl for a delightful spin, and you can lay back and enjoy yourself. By George, I hut this heats riding in a palace car all to pieces! Isn't that a splendid gait i lie's got? Starts right off as if lie had twenty pounds of steam on." Mrs. Dowser didn't lay hack and enherself. On the contrary, she sat . up and watelied the horse closely. | There was a slight limp in one hind I log, he pulled to the right as if blind in the left eye, there was n constant click as lie overreached and struck a front shoe. Added to these things, his ears were laid back close to his head and held there, and now and then his teeth grated 011 the hit. She also saw Hint Mr. Dowser held the reins with a careless hand and seemed anxious to use the whip. She refrained from saying anything, however, until the buggy had been drawn ver a sand pile 011 one side of the street and a heap of brickbats on the other, and then she gently remarked: "If you intend to bump into any of the shade trees along the street, please give me a few seconds' notice." "What do you man by Unit?" demanded Mr. Dowser. "1 thought it was about time you got off some mean remark. The horse is going all right, and I'm doing all right, and"? And the horse suddenly steered out of his course to graze the hind wheel of a peddler's wagon and almost cause a sniMShup. Mr. Dowser wasn't going to make any excuse at all at tirst, but oil second 1 thought lie concluded to say that it was I all tlie peddler's fault and that there 1 ought to be a law to prevent a cross I eyed man from driving anything but a I rhinoceros on the public highway. Mrs. Dowser would have consented 1 to go without hats or shoes for tlie iit-.M ,>ciu ji hiiu cuuiu nave ueeu saieiy | transported back home, but her only J I resource was to hang on and depend I upon Providence. Mr. Bowser bad driven two blocks j farther when the liorse bore to the I right and took the wheel off a banana 1 push cart and then sauntered ^across i the street and rubbed the nose of a ! grocer's horse and got the grocer's boy ; so excited that he indulged in yells and | shouts. I "Are you going to get us both killed?" | exclaimed Mrs. Bowser as she got iter | hat straightened again. "There you go!" replied Mr. Bowser j as lie narrowly missed running down j an old woman. "Do you want the | horse to walk? Shall I tie him to a : post? I never held the ribbons over a better goer, and yet you are finding fault about everything." "He's either unsafe or else you don't know how to drive." "That's it; that's it! By John, but why was I fool enough to bring you, along? That horse vicious? lie's lik?vt a lamb, and as far as my driving concerned"? . ^ I Ik u :is linldini' llio n>iii< I. i.. Iiis left hand and nourishing Uio whip in his right, and all of a sudden the < horse swerved and crossed the street 1 and ran up on the sidewalk and stop- ' pod with ids head almost at the doors of a drug store. / "Did you think of having a pre- j script ion tilled?" asked Mrs. Dowser j as *sh<' got Iter breath back and found herself still In the buggy. Mr. Dowser didn't reply.

"Dill I didn't drive lii'in up here." "Then how did he get here?" i lie i ii i es'nni oiu uoasi iook a sny. I "Well, you'd better take a. shy your- , self. 1 was watching you as you came down ^he street, niul I saw that you know nothing about driving. It's a ! wonder you didn't hit another vehlolo or run over somebody. How did you happen to come out with the horseV" "Von talk as if I was a boy (luce years old!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as - his anger began to boil and a crowd began to gather. "My driving was .ill rignt, but my wife was nervous and afraid and kept speaking to inc." "I'll bet she can drive bettor than j -^DR. I.

"Can't I hire some one to drivo him back? The man warranted hiin to be as gentle as a lamb, and I can't see what's got into him. Whoa, you old villain!" Half a dozen men stepped forward with offers, to drive the vehicle back to the Bowser residence for $1, and Mr. Bowser was about to close the deal when the policeman backed the rig clear of the walk and handed the lines to Mrs. Bowser and said: "You'd better walk home, old man, while your wife drives. As a guardian of the peace it is my duty to save your life if I can do It." A feeling of recklessness seized Mrs. Bowser, and, although she realized that years and centuries and epochs would pass nway before Mr. Bowser could forgive or forget, she picked up the reins nnd drove off, and, though the three cheers and a "tiger" given her by the crowd of men and boys left behind started the horse iuto his fastest gait, she managed to steer him a straight course nnd skip all the lco wagons and moving vans. lie footed It home to find P. D. Q. tied to a tree in front of the house ami looking ns humble ns a rabbit, and I bis flr*t action was to walk up and give hi'ii a hearty kick and exclaim: "Lmrn your old Ilea bitten hide, but I'll kill you with a crowbar and sell your body for soap grease!" Then he followed the one kick with two more and turned and entered the house. Mrs. Bowser and the cat were there and waiting, but tt is best to drop the curtain right here. There are some things too strenuous for public print, nud Mr. Bowser has shown the public that he can be strenuous on occasions. M. QUAD. Master's Sale.
