The attention Of Victor was at this juncture

building where he had been at work. "a i% - =

Taking his bride, Harvey at once proceeded to
the stable, accompanied by Victor, and Snip was
brought forth, bridled and saddled. He was q

tiful animal as he buckled the girth and stepped
back a.pace or two, "no man needs a better horse
than Snip; and he is yours, Victor, if yon will only
accept him. Don't, think me fool for offering
him to you freely. want to see you mounted as

Victor could not forbeara smile as he listened
to the indignant language of the generous Harvey
Haley, who waxed more and more warm in his In
dignation, until his swarthy cheeks were kindled
into glow. The knowledge that Harvey would
be much more apt to exceed than fall short OF his
threats, rather increased than diminished the
mirthfulness of his smile. With anieye, sparkling
at the idea of Harvey following up an impressing
agent with his heayy-soled boots, and waxing
more emphatic and choleric at each blow, he did
not trust himself to speak again, but pressing the
hand Of Harvey, leaped:into the saddle and can

Returning along the same road, over which he
had just come, he passed through the streets OF
the neat and pleasant village, and taking the main
road into which all the streets led on the farther
side Of the town, he found himself upon the high
way leading to the plantation of his wealthy kins-
man. About three miles from the village, he
reached the first fields belonging to the plantation,
and cantering a mile farther, he turned, at right
angles, to the left, into long, straight avenue, at
the farther end of which were visible the buildings
Of the wealthy proprietor, distant nearly mile
from the highway. ''. : b"
