I was now riding with my legs hanging over one side as I had seen market men do to balance the weight of their horses. It was yet early in the morning, the dew was on the goasamer. Gil beguiled those lest hours of the early morn with reminiscences of the times he had had in London, that "hotbed of iniquity." The road bad been for milea through a forest tract where the trees were so dense that, although the sun shone brightly, splashes of light were seen only in places. We came out abruptly into the open space. So clean cut was the division, it was as If a giants knife had separated the woods from the open country.

We kept to the aides of the road so that the noise of the horses feet coming on the turf should not be heard. When we had ridden near enough, we stopped in the sheltering shade of a clump of trees. It hid us from view. To the side of the road a post coach was standing on the two wheels of one side. The other two were In the air looking woefully out of place. The six horses plunged and trembled.

True Use of the Pompadour Disclosed in a Railroad Dining Car. "We live to learn," said the traveling man. For the past four or five years I hare admired the pompadour-stylof dressing woman's hair; but until recently it had never occurred to me that this mode of arranging the locks might possess practical utility as welL I was in the diner of a train about an hour out of Chicago when I perceived a particularly stylish brunette with a girl friend altting at the table just ahead of me. What especially caught my eye was the mass of beaux tlful hair piled up on that girl's head. While the arrangement of it was entirely becoming to the comely young woman, yet 111 venture to say that her pompadour rose to the height of some eight inches from the forehead. The two young women had about finished their dinner when I entered the car and were fumbling la their purses for the wherewithal to pay for the meal. Between them they managed to rake up soma 56 cents.
