himself firmly in the saddle, gathered his

moved into the creek.
Turning up the stream, he proceeded for
about ahundred yards along the bank, and
then struck boldly across in II direct line,
with the horses head sIanted up current.
The depth of the water did not sensibly i'll

stranger was congratulating himself upon

horse in his left hand, and slipped smoothly

"To what, doctor" asked the squire, "do
you attribute her shock"
"She was evidently stricken with horror
at the sight of Mr., Durer, whom, from my
knowledge Of the laws Of the human brain,
she has in some way associated with the
violence which has been done her, to her
