Hitched to a bulky delivery wagon, he stood di rectly in the pathway of trafie at the crowded corner of Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street. The animal was large, apparently well fed and not overworked. There were no evidences of disability; it was simply a case of balk. The driver had exhausted l.is per suasive powers, and sat quietly on his seat; the half dozen men who had been tugging at the wheels of the wagon bad desisted from their ineffectual exertions; the knowing individual who sought to coax the animal with a wisp of hay had thrown down the un tempting bait in disgust, and the daft fellow who assayed to twist the horse's tail had managed to get away without being kicked, when a mild mannered gentleman, silk-hatted and kid-gloved, came upon the scene. Quietly pushing aside the impatient street car driver, who wanted to build a fire under the animal, the gentleman gently stroked the horse's neck with one gloved hand while with the other he picked up the balked creature's right foot, bending it back and hold ing it firmly. Noddingtothe driverhe said: "Now, go ahead. " The driver flourished his whip and said "g'lang." The horse instinctive ly started, and finding that its powers of locomotion were gone, became res tive. The gentleman then released the imprisoned foot, which the animal inr mediately put into action by trotting rapidly down the street. After brushing a few particles of dirt from his glove, the mild-mannered man passed on his way, and the con- gestion in the street enjoyed a speedy relief. New York Times. Needed More Evidence. A young curate came to Dr. Temple one dav and said: "My lord, it is ru mored that you are not able to believe in special interpositions of Providence on behalf of certain persons.'" 'Well?" grunted the Bishop. "Well, 1 my lord, here is the case of my aunt. I My aunt journeys to Exter everv Sun day by the same train and in the same compartment of the same carriage in- : variably. Last Wednesday she felt a ' disinclination to go, and that very 1 day an accident occurred by which j the carriage of the train in which my j aunt would have traveled was smashed I to pieces. Now, was not that a direct interposition of Providence on behalf of my aunt?" "Can't say," growled the Bishop; "don't know your aunt." St. James Gazette. Sheriff's Sale.
