R Bellamy He Didn't Have to Stay. I had been told when I left Ford's Mill, on the Ptyor Fork of Cumberland River, at 11:30 o'clock, that I could get a very good dinner at the Widow Lewis' tavern, on Pink Branch, at noon, and I rode along easily, enjoy ing the mountain views, says a writer in Judge. T should have been there on time, but I sighted the inn where I expected a good mountain dinner and expectation was rosy, for I had break fasted early and scanty, and had ridden all morning over rough territory. There was no hotel sign or other indication that the Widow Lewis' was anything more than the usual mountain house of the better class hewed logs half way up, topped out with weatherboard ing and I rode up to the gate and gave the customary "Hello!" A tall, sallow woman appeared at the door in response. 'Good day!" I greeted her. "Is this the widow Lewis' tavern?" "Yes, it is," she replied, in a manner indicating that she was not pleased at being disturbed in that way. "Can I g.?t dinner here?" I asked , next, not having been invited to light and come in. j. .ii.t "Right away, if I can get it." "Well, you can't" she said decis ively. "When can I get it?" "Tomorrow, at noon, plumb." "Good Lord, madam!" I exclaimed. "Can't I get anything to eat before that?" "You can ge supper here at 5 o'clock" she said with a definiteness that was painful to my feelings. "But I cant wait that long," I ob jected. "You don't have ter, stranger," sh3 retorted. "Your critter ain't hitched, is he?" I was tempted. to say something m complimentary, perhaps ungallant, but did not because she disappeared into the house and I had no other recourse than to take advantage of the fact that my horse wasn't hitched.

Its only rival in amusement conveyances of winter or summer is the ice boat: but the land sailing vessels furnishes much greater enjoyment than the ice boat, for its path is not limited by the narrow con fines of an Ice pond, and moreover. It is a summer vehicle, made to sail in the season when rapid open-air trav eling is really enjoyable. So fast will the land boat move if permitted to go at its full speed during a strong wind, that its- occupants would find it im possible to retain their, seats. Hence its speed has to be cheeked and regu lated by the manipulation of breaks and sails. From fifty to ninety miles an hour, however, has often been at tained with safety when the precau tion was taken, of seeing that the passengers were well secured in their seats."
