AN FRUSTRATING RUNAwAY.-"Some straightway took refuge on the sidewalk. leaving their horse to fellow the other. which he did with great agility. The spec. tacle of two runaways wildly careering to- wards Connecticut, inspired young man to catch the foremost horse. and he per haps might, only that the horse dOdged and the youth feroclously embraced the car riage wheel and bounded off like a gigan- tic grasshopper. The second horse, star tied beyond measure, rushed into some- body's front yard and allowed the carriage to climb upon his back, then shook it off and lay down in despair. Meantime, the other horse came out on Main Street, and we thought we would catch him. A dim consciousness of heroic daring, silent, mas terful, blt nded in our mind with the vision of an obituary and grave stone. We marched falteringly into the middle of the street, fainily hoping that ga me ladies pas sing would call us back and insist on our not sacrificing ourselves for a mere horse. The coming horse looked great deal big ger than he did from the sidewalk; in fact his size increased astonishingly with every jump. There was a white spot in his tore. head that looked like cCffin. We gath cred ourselves for spring, and leared, but the treacherous snow slid our feet from un- der us, and with fearful contortions, we sat down exactly under that horse. The oc- entrances of the next few seconds are in distinct. We remember crawling despe- rately on hands and knees toward the near est curbing. It was the saddest moment of our life-and the dirtiest. We Saw the ladies stuff their hsndkerchiefs into their mouths. and then we went home, looking neither to the right hand no. the left. We don't know what became of Thomas
 Windsors horse, and we don't care. ."-Er- chanOe.
