Good-by, old horse, we'll turn you out
To roam o'er hill aud plain ;
We've bought a horseless carriage and
We'll never need you again ;
With naphtha, oil or gasolene
We'll ride from morn till dark,
And on a Sunday afternoon
Go puffing through the park.
You're hardly worth a piece of pie!

GRAY EAGLE

?s Mr. George Everett was sitting
'after supper on the piacza, of the Hill
side House he suddenly noticed two
boys who had really been standing
near by for some minutes. Taking a
.good look' at them, he said to himself
$h&t th?y were certainly twins, and as
-alike as two peas in a pod. Then he
'.?OUK? himself associating them in
*se4ne way with fried fish,and in an in
stant recognized them as boys who
had brought some flue trout to the
hotel a day or two before.
He thought they seemed anxious rc
speak to him, but lacking iu confi
dence. So he smiled in a way that
was'meant to be encouraging. Then
he heard a whisper:
"Go ahead, Hod! What you 'fraid
of?"
The boys approached, aud one of
them said diffidently:
"We thought p'r'aps you might like
to look at our card."
"Your card?" echoed Mr. Everett,
at the same time accepting a square
piece of pasteboard on which was
written 4?Q following:
BATMOND BROS.
GUIDES TO FISHING GROUNDS.
TERMS REASONABLE.
Mr. Everett was somewhat mysti
fied, and looked at the boys inquir
ingly.
"We didn't know but you might
like to have us take you round to some
good fishing places,"said the ora who
had. offered the card.
**We know just where they are and
how to catch them, " added the othsr.
"Oh, you are the Eaymond broth
era, are you?" ?
*Tes, sir. I'm Horace and he's
Henry;"
"Ah,I see, but I'm afraid I shouldn't
another time," said Mr. Everett, try
ing hard to find some difference iu the
looks of the brothers. "How long
laave you been acting ?as guides, and
what are your terms?"
"We're just beginning," answered
Horace.
"We'd take what you thought was
right," said Henry.
"Sit down, boys, and let us talk it
over," said Mr. Everett, who found
Ilia new acquaintances amusing.
The conversation was satisfactory,
and Mr. Everett finally said:
*1 have ?been fishing considerably
since I have been here, but have had
poor luck. If you think you can show
me some really good sport I will go
with you, and I will pay you for your
day. How will next Saturday suit
you?"
Next Saturday would suit the boys
first rate, they said, and they went ou
their way in high spirits.
Mr. Everett, who had been spending
some weeks at the cosy Hillside
House, thought that he had . pretty
thoroughly tested the fishing privi
leges of the region roundabout, but
he found his mistake on that Saturday.
The "guides" not only had the true
fisherman's instinct, but they knew
intimately every stream and pond for
miles around, and they led their young
gentleman a jaunt which left* him at
night, as he. expressed it, a "broken
down old man." But as he dragged
his aching limbs toward home he was
the owner of the finest string of trout
and pickerel that had ever gladdened
his eyes.
As they began their walk home, Mr.
Everett said:
"Well, boys, I think that I can rec
ommend you as stars in your profes
sion. By the way, how did you hap
pen to take up the guide business?"
"Well," began Horace, "we wanted
some money awfully. We've got a
gray colt at home, name's Gray Eagle,
and he's got speen-"
"We thought he was all spavined
np when pa bought him," observod
Henry, parenthetically.
"He's all right now," Horace went
on, "we've been training him.'*
"Take him out on the fair track
most every night after milking," said
Henry.
"Go like the wind, the colt will,"
Horace continued, "after we've got
him down to his work."
"les?" said Mr. Everett. "And
what has all thit to do with wanting
some money?" ?
"Well," replied Horace, "the town
fair ?omes on next week, and we want
to enter the colt for a race in the
three-minute class-"
"Horses that never trotted bette*'n
three minutes in public," Henry ex
plained.
"And yon have to pay to enter a
horse for a race, and besides, we shall
have to hire a gigi"
"Ah, I see!" said Mr. Everett,
'.Does your father happen to know
about this?"
"No. Pa don't know anything
aboutit yet," answered Henry, with
some embarrassment.
"But he won't care," said Horace,
earnestly. "We want to kind of sur
prise him. \ He's a deacon, pa is, bub
he says that the trots at our fair are
well enough."
"Ain't no pool-selling or anything,
you know," observed Henry.
"He's one of the trustees of the fair
himself,"' added Horace, "but all he
cares-for is cattle and sheep and butter
and such things."
The boys had evidently reserved
their favorite theme until the last, and
finding an int?rested Havener, they
spared no details. Before Mr. Ever
ett had reached the hotel he waB in
possession of the complete history of
the gray colt, and whs fully informed
in regard to that great annual event
-ihe town fair.
Furthermore, he had promised to
delay his departure to the city for a
' day or two in order to be present at
Gray Eagle's performance.
When he handed the boys the five
dollars which they had hoped for but

hardly expected, their faces glowed,
with delight.
"You'll see Gray Eagle trot now!"
said Henry. "And he'll come in
ahead, stive as guns!"
"If be doesn't buck," added Horace.
- "Wou't it beratbev dangerous busi
ness for boys like you?" asked Mr-,
Everett. "Which of you is to drive?"
"Oh, Horace, o? cours'e," replied
Henvy. ,xHo can drive is well as
any mA? in. this town."
''Hejivy eau drive as well as I can,"
explained his brother, "but he sort bf
lacks confidence before folks."
"Iou bad better tell youv father
what you propose to do," was Mr.
Everett's parting advice.
"Ob," that'll le all right," was the
cheerful rejoinder.
Agreeably to promise, Mr. Everett,
on a pleasant day early in October,
made one of the throng in attendance
at the town fair grounds. He spent
an hour or two inspecting the sleek
stock of the farmers, admiring the
handiwork of the farmers' wives and
dangbters, witnessing a plowiug
match, listening to the eloqueuce of
the lemonade venders, aud especially
noting the odd characters which are
always to be seen oji such occasions.
Then, following the movement of
the crowd, he found himself at length
at the greit centre of attraction? and
he took his place in the front tier of
seats opposite the judges' stand by
tho "half-mile track."
The judges had taken their positions-,
aud bad rung the cracked bell hang
iug over the stand as a signal to the
drivers in the first race to prepare for
action.
Seven more or less fleet-footed
steeds were being driven on the track
for the preliminary "warming up,"
and as this was the "three-minute
clans," Mr. Everett looked them over
anxiously to discover if the gray colt
and his driver were among the con
testants.
Sure enongh.there they were! That
loose-jointed, shambling, rough-coated
animal, looking as if he were just out
of the pasture, was doubtless Gray
Eagle.
And the little fellow perched on a
riokety gig aud clad ia ? uniform con
sisting of a red flannel shirt and visor
less cap, was no other than his young
friend, Horace.
Hardly had Mr. Everett identified
one of the Raymond twins when the
other appeared at his elbow. % "i
"How d' do, Mr. Everett?" said the
drawling voice. "Say, we're in luck,
Hod and I are! They've drawn for
positions, and Gray Eagle's got the
pole!"
Again the bell rang, and the scoring
began. The usual number of false
starts occurred, and Mr. Everett no
ticed, to bis surprise, that Gray Eagle,
in spite of his uncouth appearance,
trotted in a very lively way, and that
the diminutive Horace was at least as
skillful a driver as any of his competi
tors.
"That colt of yours bas a wicked
looking eye," bo remarked to Henry.
"i'es, bo's ugly," admitted the boy,
" but Hod knows how to manage
him."
Once more the bors?s came down to
the wire.
"Go!" shouted one of the judges,
and away they went-all but Gray
Eagle.
The excitement had proved too much
for him, aud instead of trotting, be
seemed to be executing something
like a war dance. Up aud down, from
right to left, forward and backward he
prauced, to the great delight of the
crowd and to the deep mortification of
poor Henry.
"He'a bucking, just as I was afraid
of!" s'aid be, with tears in his eyes.
But the young driver was not dis
mayed. He had loosened the reins
when the trouble began, and for an
instant he let the colt take his own
course. Then, with a sharp pull and
a resounding cut with tho whip, he
brought Gray Ea<jle tc his feet and
sent him on his way.
The affair had taken *bi:t a few sec
onds, but even the slowest of the
horses now strung along the truck was
far ahead of the gray colt. But the
mirth of the spectators was soon
changed to amazement at that colt's
performance.
"Didn't I say he could trot?"
drawled Henry.
There was no doubt about it. When
Gray Eagle had made the first circuit
of the track.it was evident that he was
not to be the last in the race. But
could he possibly overtake the two
horses whicb, well ahead of the otbers,
were contending for the first place?
Steadily he gained. Down the home
stretch whirled the two leaders, and
Gray Eagle was only a length behind.
Then came ah nnenrthly cry from tho
lips of the young driver, and the whip
descended on the gray colt's back.
"I knew Hod was going to yell!"
said Henry, exultingly, as Gray Eagle
swept under the wire the winner by a
neck.
In the midst of the cheering, Horace
drove up, and with a professional air
threw the reins to Henry, who at
once went to the stable with? the colt.
Now, forcing his way through the
crowd, there appeared an elderly man
with a look of astonishment on bis
face that was comical io see.
"Horace," he began, "what in all
nature does this mean?"
"Father, this is Mr. Everett, that's
stopping at the tavern," said Horace,
evidently glad of a diversion.
"Hope to see . you well, sir. But,
Horace, what you been np to? I never
was so took back in my Ii?e as I was
! when they told me down to the hall
what you were doing!"
Horace bega J to explain awkwardly
, enougb, but h:s father cut him short
I -,--.-?
"I can't stop to talk now. All is,
lei this be the end on'tl It isn't safe
for a boy like yon."
"0 pa, do let mo drive him one mor?
hoatl It's best two lrt.,tur??,and I cftn
surely byj&t ?nfl get the premium!"
*f)3Sb, Horace, I won't risk your
neck-for all the premiums in the world.
I've gx>t to go back now, but yob must
promise not to drive again.
/'But, pa, suppose I eau find some
body to drive the colt?"
"Well," said his father, who was
perhaps in his heart somewhat proud
of the colt's borforniance, "if you can
get anybody that knows how, I don't
care. All is, don't you do it" So
saying, he withdrew.
""Too bad!" exclaimed Horace,start
ing for the stable with tears in his
eyes. "There's nobody that I can get
to driva that colt, with all his tricks."
Mr. Everett saw nothing "of the
Raymond boys for theuext hour. He
took but little interest iu the
other races, but he kept his place,
having some curiosity to see whether
the gray colt would appear agaili with
a new driver. The time for th? sec
ond trial in th? three-minute cla?s
cam? at last.
"Y?s-, there is Gray Eagle again, "
said Mr. Everett tb himself. "And
can it b? possible? Will Horace dis
obey his father and drive the colt,after
all? Ah,here is Henry again! Henry,
I wouldn't have thought that Horace
would break hispromisetohis father!"
"That isn't Horace behind Gray
Eagle," said the boy, flushing guilt
ily. "I'm Horace. Father didn't say
thal Henry couldn't drive."
"Oh,that is the way of it!" said Mr.
Everett. "I'm sorry if that is your idea
of obedience," he added, quietly.
Horace made no reply, and the race
vbegan.
Gray Eagle took the lead and kept
it easily once around the track.
"He's got the race!" cried Horace.
But in a moment his face fell.
"Oh, he's off his feet! Why doesn't
Hen pull him down? Why; what's
happened? fleury can't hold him!
He's running away!"
It was tod true. Swerving from
side to side along the track,dashed th?
frightened anim?t. At ev?ry instant it
seemed to the horrified spectators as
if H?nry must be thrown to the
ground. The reius were broken, aud
the boy was powerless to guide or
check the horse.
"He'll be killed!" gasped Horace.
"And it'll be me that killed him!"
Now the wild horse and his helpless
driver were once more nearing the
stand. Horace's face showed pale
nuder the tan, but there was the fire of
purpose in his eyes.
"I'm going to try it," he said, and
he sprang on to the track.
A leap for the bridle-there was a
chance in a thousand, but he caught
it!
An instant later the horse had been
brought to the fence by the side of the
track. Henry had picked himself np,
somewhat dazed by his fall from the
gig, but not seriously hurt, and Horace
lay on the ground with bleeding head
and broken arm.
Gray Eagle was being held by a
dozen meu who had rushed to Hor
ace's assistance, while the other con-.
test?hts, hardly realizing what had
happened, were just finishing the
race.
Horace was taken to his home, and
at tho boy's earnest request,Mr.Ever
ett displayed really excellent sur
gical skill in setting the broken arm
and dressing the wounded head. Thus
Horace was his first patient.
When he had been made comfort
able he said to bia father, who was
standing by his bed:
"I want to tell you, pa, that Henry
wasn't one bit to blame. It was all
my fault,"
"I guess I wouldn't talk now," said
Mr. Raymond.
"But I must tell you. Henry didn't
even know that I had seen yon at all.
I just said when I went to the stable
that I wasn't going to drive again. He
thought I just wauted to give him a
chance, and took the horse. I pre
tended to myself that I wasn't dis
obeying you, but I knew all the time
that I was. It served me right to get
hurt. But I'm glad enough that it
wasn't Henry."
"Well, well, I'll forgive you as far.
forth as I am concerned," said his
father, md I think this'll be a lesson
that you won't forget. How do you
feel now, my son?" And he laid his
rough hand tenderly on the cheek of
this repentant boy.
"Well, my head aches pretty bad,
and my arm pains me, and I keep
thinking how I did wrong. But I tell
you, I feel awful good 'a,ide of the way
I felt when Gray Eagle and poor
Henry were coming dowu the home
stretch!"-Youth's Companion.
Great Fluh In ir ?ar Hawaii.
Captain Joh u M. Sass of the gaso
lene schooner Malolo has just discov
ered and chartered hitherto unknown
shoals of considerable area to the
southwest of the island of Molokai,
Hawaii. The shoals are, in fact, a
submerged extension of that island.
He has found that they extend for
about 30 miles almost due southwest
from Molokai, at a surprisingly uni
form width of about 12 miles. These
h shoals give soundings of from 28 to 32
fathoms, ending abruptly on all sides
in soundings bhowing about 2(50
fathoms. The shoals seem to be the
top of a submerged plateau with a
very even and smooth surface cov
ered with fine gray coiul and affording
excellent anchorage. The discovery
was made while sounding for fishing
fields. The water above the shoals
swarms with edible fish of great value.
But it also swarms wjth sharks.
Hooks and lines thrown down to the
bottom immediately bring up fish, but
at the second or third throw only
fishes' heads comes up, the sharks
having snapped off the bodies of the
fishes as they are being drawn up
from the depths.-Chicago Record.
