Every one in the countyy knew ant
loved Leone Lightfost, and rapidly hel
orders were obeyed; observing which
she wheeled her foaming horse and
again sped away on her return to thu
wounded stranger. pta
There he lay just as she had left him
but groaning slightly, and each instant
wetting the blood-stained handker-
chief; the girl awaited the coming Of
the doctor. - =
Would they never Gomez she thought
but at length the sound OF wheels
broke on her ear, and the next instant
the doctor drove up.
"You are noble woman, Miss Light
foot, and if this man lives he owes it to
,you," said the doctor, as he approached
and knelt beside the proetrate form.
"But will he live, doctor?"
For some minutes no, reply was Civ
en- by the man of science who CAREFUL
ly probed the wound, but then he said
slowly:
sIt is a serious injmy-ha! hal here
have the ball; yes hope he win re-
cover;" and DR.. Wells took from the
wound small bullet, while he con-
tinued: @ f5'i''i n
scNow he needs the most careful nur-
sing"
ssHe shall have it. Thank God, here
comes Mr.. Jessup,'' and then the car
riage drove up and telling the doctor to
come on with the wounded stranger to
her brothers house, Leone again mount
ed her horse and rode ON to have all in
readiness for his arrival.
1t was a week before the stranger was
sufficiently recovered to tell, his story
regarding the wound that had 80 near
ly proved fatal to him. and he informed
Leone, who had been untiring in her
devoted care Of him, that his name was
Clarence Ainslie-was an Englishman,
who nearly year before had come to
America, and, purchasing few acres
of land in the West made It his home.
He also stated that business had called
him to New York, and that while an.
joying a horseback ride he had been
fired upon, was thrown to the ground,
and had an indistinct remembrance
that some one was robbing him, for his |
watch and all the valuables he had
about him were gone. - |
That Clarence Ainslie was no ordin-
ary man, Leone knew when she saw
him lying by the roadside, but that he |
would ever possess the power to con-
troll her life she had not believed.
But SO it was, for each day proved to |
her that she had met her beau ideal
and vet was he for herP Might he NOT
be married? II
The thought chilled her verv head.
