But further conversation was cut
short by the mounting of the eques-
isease„triennes and the marshalling them
hlhoo !forth in proper array. Time had
long slime been up, and People were
getting a trifle impatient at the de-
lay, though had they but realized the
difficulties of starting six fair ladies,
pulling up their girths, shortening
their stirrups, adjusting their habits,
and taking in their curb-ehains, they
might have displayed a greeter leni-
ency. However, at length all was
ready for a start, and the half-doz-
en Amazons, round whom much inter-
est was centered, emerged from the
paddock in Indian file. King Olaf
and Coquette certainly carried off the
honors in point of looks. This latter
proved a great big fine upstanding
thoroughbred mare, showing a lot of
quality, and as far as appearances
ieent seemed likely to be the chest-
nut's most formidable. opponent.

so near, ht.etead, of steadily Co-
quette, as she ought to 'have done,
raleed bar whip-hanci and gore the
mare a smart switch, in consequence
of which she landed te.o far into the
road, and blundered badly on jump-
ing out, 'almost coining down on her
knees, and throwing Miss Palliser
well forwards; while Kate, remember-
ing what she had been told, kept
ICing, Olaf firmly in hand, and nego-
tiated the double obstacle beautifully.
This little episode left her the ad -
'vantage, and enabled her not only
to have first shy at the water, but
also to choose tile particular spot
' Colonel Clinker had advised. She
gave. King Olaf a, little cheer of en-
couragement, which he knew well of
old, a slight shake of the bridle, and
then set the good horse resolutely at
the brook, close to where the white
flag stood on the right-hand side.
But Miss Palliser's jealousy was now
more than aroused, and iadeed had
rapidly become so overmastering as
to 'dispel any last lingering rennutits
of prudence. She called upon poor
Coquette, and at the very moment
Kieg Olaf took off came with a tre-
rrtend,ous rush at the identical piece
selected by lier rival. '1'he conse-
quence was a violent conission Oc-
curred in the air, which very nearly
upset both horses, and knocked them
all to pieces for the thne being.

ternate feelings of pleasure, hope, an-
xiety, and pride. The lattersenti-
ment was gaining a decided predomin-

took place. .
"Dash my buttons! Did you see
that? he exclaircted, trembling with
indignationand excitement. "She did
it o perpus. 1 seed her with my
own eyes, and a more eliberate or
disgraceful foul I never witnessed."
Colonel Clinker put down his glass -

tily with the corner 01 his silk eock-
et-ltandlterchief, and muttered between
his set teeth --
"Damn that • least of a woman !-
She's a bigger brute even than I
thought"
Stirrup overheard the words and
knew that one person at least thaw-

thought well of the Colonel from the
first, but now he went up greatly in
hie estimation ae an assured well-
wi :dim; of his beloved mistress, 0..nd

R4 CHASE'S OT -/T
EsDecially during the teething per-
iod, children are subject to eczema,
scald head and various forms of skin
disease, which cause the keenest suf-
fering to _themselves, as well as anx-
iety to their parents.
There is no treatment so successful
as Die Chase's Ointment, and as ecz-
ema always tends to become chronic
and last for years, prompt cure is of
the 'utmost importance.
Mr. C. Wiley, who is employed as
eooper by the Kennedy & Davis :Alin-
ing Company, Lindsay, Ont., states:
"I used Dr. Chase's Ointment for
eczema on my little girl some few
years ago, and soon brought about a

Dr. Chase's Ointment is the best
thing 1 ever ifsed for cha'img, itching

It heals them up very quickly, and
ldelieve that there i$ no better
ointment to be 'obtained • than Dr.
Chase's, We have found it invalu-
able and always keep it in the
house."
Any mother who once becomes ac-
quainted with the Merits of Dr.
Chase's Ointment would not think of
being without it in the house. 'Where

It seems rather an alieurd thing,
said a naval captain to the Writer,
that, although a submarine boat was
tried en the Thames nearly three cen-
turies ago, we still have oot evolven
anything like a perfect under -water
vessel. Of course, this submarine of
the time oe the Stuarts was a very
primitive kind of crit. It was pro -
pelted by oars and, I believe. was
much more adept at sinking than at
coming to the surface again.

But let me give you a brief de-
scription of the leading types of sub-
marine vessels of to -day. 'Tim nrst
boat of the type that was at all
successitil was the Goubet, ft tiny,
spindle-sliaped vessel, :16 feet. long and
5 feet in diameter. She has only
room for two men, who could not
stand upright to save their lives, and
who sit in the centre, bac% to back.

vations can be taken.
She has a, horizontal keel on each
side, and a. detachable keel weighing
900 kilogrenames at the bottorece
which can be dropped in case tile
raising apparatus breaks down. She
carries two Whitehead torpedoes, has
reservoirs for compressed air, and an
electric, motor of 1e1tep. for pro-
pelling purposes, The sinking is
worked simply by punaping in water-
banaet, and the rising by purnping, it
out again, a gauge marking the exact
DBP'Pli OF SUBMERSION,
She e,arries batteries charged for two
days' work and sufficient compressed
air to last a week.
Picture yourself cooped up in such
a vessel, unable to stretch yourself
even, groping about in the black
depths of the sea, and never knowing
at what moment a chance collision
or the pressure of the water may
break the shell of your boat and
send you to the bottom of the sea.
The Gymnote is another fairly suc-
cessful French submarine, about twice
as large tis the Goubet.
An interesting., if not very einactic-
able, vessel is the Argonaut, whose
function it in to descend to the bot-
tom of the sea, run .along it on
wheels to the desired position be-
neath an enemy's ship, and then by
means of mines and torpedoes do the
rest -a scheme admirable in theory,
but I fear -unpromising itapracticat
The best submarine of th-din ell
the Rolland, of which we have a
small flotilla. The Holland is real-
ly a formidable weapon of war. She
is 85 feet long, and carries, in ad-
dition to a torpedo tube, a dynamite
gun in the stern capable of sending
a shell half a mile through the wa-
ter, and an aerial torpedo gun whith
will hurl -a 100 lb. shell three-quar-
ters of a mile. She is a wonderful
box of mechanism, and, if we sliouid
ever unfoetunately drift into war,
will no doubt give a good account oE
herself.
