The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1879-12-16

teeth and dashed onward badly. But he
had run scarcely fifty yards when the
vehicle struck a tree, standing by the
side of the road. There was crash, a
moment of struggling and pain, then
darkness shadowed the vision of the
master of The Cedars.
Robert De We're had seen the accident
He came running down the avenue, and
sprang through the gates. He reached
the shattered carriage, and bent over the
man lying PROSTATE there.
The horse had continued on his course,
taking a portion of the vehicle with
him.
The period of unconsciousness of the
master of The Cedars was of brief dura-
tlon. He opened his eyes and tried to
raise himself to his feet But he sank
back with groan.
Satan take that beast 2" he cried
savagely.
Be quiet" said Robert De We're to
him, "and 1 will have assistance
shortly"
Robert ran back to the avenue gate
Victoria had just come out of the
house and stood upon the piazza.
"Send some of the servants to me-"
he said; "an injured man is lying in
the road.''
Victoria re-entered the house. Robert
hastened back.
:" Do you feel as though you are very
severely hurt ?" he asked of the master
of The Cedars, as he lifted his head into
an easier position than that which it
had occupied.
' L do not know" was the answer
with groan. My right leg feels as
though it were broken. Curse the devil
of horse |"
Several negro men appeared upon the
scene. The master of The Cedars was
lifted in their arms, and carefully car
ried to the house. When they reached
it, he was laid upon couch, and one of
the men was hastily mounted and dis
patched for a physician.
Go for DIR. Cover" Robert De We're
said. Be speedy"
The servant had ride of three miles
and back to perform. Consequently, it
was fully an hour before DIR. Cover
came.
Meantime, Robert DE We're examined
the injuries of the master of The Cedars.
He was severely bruised, but his wounds
were not dangerous. His right ankle
was sprained, instead of the limb being
broken.
When DR.. Cover did appear he found
there was very little that he could do,
additional to what Robert had already
done.
"You have done nobly," lie said to
Robert. 81 compliment you as being a
very good surgeon"
DIR. Cover decided that the injured
man could not be taken to his home for
a few days.
A couple of days after the accident the
man was able to lean on Robert De We're,
and, by that means, walk into the par
lor. Thus far the servants, assisted by
Robert, had attended to his wants.
Robert had been with him most of the
time.
AS 1t chanced, Victoria De We're was
in the parlor. AS Victoria had not be-
fore beheld the master of The Cedars
there was an introduction.
" I am very sorry that you were so
unfortunate, Mr.. Cashel, J" Victoria MUIR
INJURED.
He gave the sweet face of the young
girl an admiring glance.
"Thank YOU" he returned. 81 have
been warned that the animal of mine
will kill me, but never paid much at
tention to the warnings"
but you will heed this last one"
smiled Victoria.
"Yes. However, will not promise
to heed 1t so much as to cease driving
that horse; it that case, it would seem
as though he had conquered me. But L
will watch him closely in the future, de-
pend upon it."
Then he detailed to Victoria the man
ner in which the accident had occurred.
There was nothing tiger-like in his ex-
preston now. He was laughing, and
seemed frank and pleasant He con-
graduated himself that there was one
favorable thing about his accident - it
had made him acquainted with these
pleasant people.
The subject Of conversation was chang
ed, and the minutes fled rapidly. Pres
