The reservcir ia the highest portion cf
Manhattan Island, The view from all
sides is picturesque. On the south the
city lies stretched out-in a magnificant
panorama as far as the eye can reach. It
is a spot particularlv- adonted for tA
.purpose for which it was intended the
pleasure ot tiie people.

to dignity. Others shunt aronnd-with
all the dignity of -a game' cock. It is not
an uncommon sight to see a woman
weighing frcm 200 to 800 pounds puffirg
along like a slow going locomotive with
a heavy train attached, her arms swing
ing at her sides like the driving rods of
an engine, S he is out for what there is
in it. She cares nothing for the ques
tioning lecks of the spectators nor for
laeir nnsjiia remarks. She has jnst so
many pounds to remove per the doctor's
-orders,-and jhe is trying to dd it.-
So regularly do these Qpei .air fiends
make their appcarence cn the "trark that
the men employed"-at the gateEouse cn
the south' sido- in the capacity of watch
men, gatekeepers ajid helpers can spot
ono half a mile away.
"There comes Aunty So-and-so," they
comment. "What a gait she has got on
this morning! Sea that stride! She's
trying to break the record."
"And there is Popper So-and-so. He's
making goocl time too. "Wonder if he'll
overtake her before she reaches the turn?
Whew, but he's making the gravel fly!
Five pound- off this morning sure," and
as the revtneers of flesh go flying past the
gatehouse the nod familiarly to the men
vv-ho happen to he in sight.
4Whoi3 this cdmingV" asked a reporter
cf the men at ther gatehouse a few days
ego as he saw a young woman approach
ing. -
"Why, we call her Beauty," one of the
men replied. She was a tall young wom
an, fair, and with the form of a Juno.
She was striding along on the other side
cf the lake. As she passed tho men alio
nodded good morning and strode away,
her head in the air, her shoulders back,
chest thrown forward and with a 8-fcot
strida. She was out for oxygen. Her
cheeks glowed with the rosy hue of per
fect health, and her eyes sparkled like
diamonds. . - "
"8ho lives on Fifth avenue," contin
Jied one of" the helpers. "Every morn
ing at 0 o'clock, if the weather is any
way pleasant, she is here walking for
dear life.' But ain't she a 'beaut?' And
she's not stuck up a bit .She-has a nod
and a smile for ail of the boyB, jnst as
you saw her then. I'll wager every dol
lar I have that there isn't a man on this
