This settled it with Farmer Stebbins. lie clambered into his old buggy, Ills wife opened the gate, and down the road they went as fast as Billy, whose natural gait was not flying, could take them. 'J he little pliaeton looked like a epeclt on the long, white road ahead of them, but Billy and Farmer Stebbins came into Hewlevville in time to see it '"'appear in the "red front livery harn." Billy was tied to a post near and his master, seeing the fair tover appear and hurry up the narrow j'.rect, rushed into the barn, and, consuming the jovial and rotund little *«per, asked: ^Uiat did she say?"

Her manner was impatient, her voice anxious, and a look of relief came over her face when Farmer Stebbins assured hor she was right. "And how far are. we away?" she asked in her clear, pleasant voiee. "Hut two miles, and them short ones, miss." "Oh, good!" she exclaimed. Then looking at a very tiny watch: "We shall make the down train from Chicago, shall we not? I have driven my poor horse ton hard, 1 fear." "Oh, you needn't hurry none now •rou'll make it right enough," Mrs. Stubbins said, with a cpicer look in her keen, sharp face. "Come, then. Chester, we must be going. Thank you for your information. I am so glad to know we are all right. Good morning," and with a smile and a nod of her pretty head she was gone.

Hut the little man had not recovered his breath sullieiently after his run to be able to answer, so he stood nodding and gasping. "(let him ready at once," the young man said.
Farmer Stebbins here stepped forward. "Sir," he said, "that air horse will not be gotten ready this day, sir. "What do you mean?'' "Nothing has happened Chester, has there?" the frightened girl cried. ",\j. miss the horse is safe enough. It ain't that. You know what it is, Miss Leland?" lie paused to see what effect the name would have upon her, but she seemed not to have heard him and stood looking with wondering eves. "Yes, you know. If 'twereu't that your pa is such an esteemed friend of mine I wouldn't have took this step, but it's to save his heartache I—" "Why. what has papa got to do with it?" she broke in. "Never mind the man, Marcia, he is a crazy—here man," Greyson said turning to Stevenson, "I give you Ave minutes to hitch that horse up be quick about it."
The tone and accompanying look frightened that little man and he moved as if to obey but was detained by Farmer Stebbins, who would have spoken, but that Dick Greyson whirled him around with 110 gentle hand and demanded to know what lie meant. "Mean," the infuriated farmer cried, "mean, sir I mean this runaway match shall not go on that's what 1 mean." Greyson's hand fell to his side and the
"red front livery barn" was never filled with such peals of laughter as rung through it then. A deep bass laugh from Dick Greyson's strong throat, a pretty soprano from the girl by his side and a round fuB chorus from the fnvored few.
When quiet was finally restored j'oung Mrs. Greyson said: "So you thought we were running away to be married? Why, we did that three years ago. Show them the message from papa, Dick, as proof." Whereupon a message was handed Farmer Stebbins to read. The silence was intense while he proceeded to read:
CASTI-KTON, June 22. 'W.—Richard Greyson: Dear Son—Important business. Come to IJewleyvlllc. Marcia will meet you.
Q. R. Li LAND.
They wanted to apologize, but young Mrs. Greyson declared, as they tuckca the robes In around her and patted Chester's glossy coat before they started for home, that it was a very pretty compliment to bo mistaken for her young sister and thought to be runaways when people hod been so long married as they.—Cincinnati Post.

Steve, I don't want to be little about this thing there ain't much goes on here to interest the boys oughtn't we take 'em in 011 this, jest a favored few, ye know, eh?"
Mr. Stevenson being agreed it was the only honorable course to pursue, Farmer Stebbins hurried oil to get the boys before the train should come, When the Chicago express linally came pulling into Hewlevville, quite a crowd of curious citizens were there to meet I it. As the train stopped a tall, handsome, manly young fellow swung himself off the platform, glanced around for some one, and. seeing the girl standing alone, hurried through the little group of nodding, whispering peopie. to her, anil taking her hands in bis. bent and kissed the happy' faee turned up to him. lie murmured something 111 her ear that the crowd did lint catch, and draw ing her small gauntlet hand through his arm. they hurried olT thoroughly unconscious of being the ohserved of all observers. Down a liarrow, crooked alley Farmer Stebbins ran, followed by the gasping Mr. Stcvenson, as fast as his short legs would carry him. The goal was reached none too soon, for as they hurried in the back door of the "red sront livery barn" the unconscious couple hurried in the front. The favored few fell in through \yindcr,vs, crawled in through cracks and scrambled over each other in seeking a place of lookout. "I left orders to have my horse ready at this time," the girl asked, looking around at Mr. Stevenson. "Where is he?"

The question: Are animals musical? is a perplexing one and may not easily Inset at rest, says the New 'i ork livening Sun. Kvc.ryNidv has heard a dog how'l ut a musical performance, but dues that indicate a dislike for music or a desire for some otiu-r kind? There are many recorded instances of dogs who have I shown distinct musical ability. .. "The satisfaction^oxpressed by cats at piano playing must have been generally noticed. It
ill be found that they
show every v.ign of feline enjoyment, purring, blinking their eyes and agitating their claws. Fsually, too. they will venture on the piano keys themselves when they are alone, to iind out what kind of harmony they can extract from the marvelous instrument.
I he writer lias put down here a few instances which tend to answer in the allirmativc the question under discussion. I
A keeper in a menagerie told him that 1 the animals undoubtedly appreciated the work of a band which played near by, and that it did them good.
The worst, dililculty that the animal
even the snakes showed unusual signs 1 of life. When the band was away, operating 011 the ears of the townspeople, the animals became apathetic again ar.d moped. The keeper attributed the good health and longevity which prevailed in this feline community to the steady idTortsof the municipal band.
The dog. it is said, shows a marked preference for the harmonium over .-very other instrument, fince there lived a terrier of mixed but entirely Scottish breed who used to listen to the playing of the harmonium with evident pleasure until a very high note was reached, lie would then arise, stretch out his tail, stiffen himself and howl the same note for some.time, lie intended in this way to indicate his displeasure and to discourage the further playing of the note.
Dogs, it may then be inferred, are fond of serious music and of solemn instruments. They protest habitually against the playing of lively tunes. I They have, indeed, been taught to dance to the violin and the flute, but their natures have been outraged. In the grinding of a barrel organ a bulldog I has found fairly congenial employment,
A mar. had a collie, in all respects but one an affectionate and respectful aniinal. who' was roused to fury by his master's singing, which was riot good, He would howl so terribly that his masseldom finished a song. The dog

He keeps time and barks to some extent in tune. Although the assistance he affords is by 00 means valuable, his mistress is so tnucli pleased by his cleverness that she loes not discourage him.
A young lady was in the habit ringing in .a contralto voice a religious *ng called "Calvary" to a setter. It ivas in minor. The dog used to howl in time at regular intervals and in the right key.
There is much doubt as to liow cats take music. Somo hold that they arc not born musicians, but can be educated. An acquaintance had a very much petted cat who was indifferent to harmony as a kitten but grew to like it in mature years. She would sit by tlie piano and listen for a long time, and when the player went away would step Dn the keys herself. She showed a strong preference for the treble notes uid some terror at the sound of the bass nnes.
Cows are said to be intensely fond of music. Seven or eight persons who were fond of hearing their own melodiDUS voices went on a boating cxcur-

They sang as they rowed, and lliey allege that a small Aldcrney cow accompanied them along the river, lancing and behaving as if she were intoxicated with delight.
She even advanced through the water to meet them, leaving her infant on tlie

keeper encounters is the apathy of his wards and their aversion to exercise. This keeper said that when the hand struck up an inspirating air, like "Hulc Britannia," the animals walked up and down their cages in quite a lively way. Thus t.hey were induced to take as much exercise as possible under the eonditions. The birds chattered or sang, and
