Her lovers strength and hearth
ness, bis confidence in right and
Justice, and his masterful manner of
speech and purpose, soon brought
the sorrowful maiden into more
hopeful state SO that, when he left
her, he left smiles upon her face.
The lieutenant, since his inter
view with Sir Thomas, had resolv-
i ed to- return at once to London.
/ The stage coach from Shoreham to
Chichester would pass shortly, and
his nearest way from the Hall
to the highway was through the
great park. He had struck into the
we'll beaten path, and had gained,
perhaps, half the distance, when he
was brought to a sudden stop by a
scene that commanded at once his
earnest sympathy.
An elderly gentleman, who had
evidently been on his way to the
Hall, had been attacked by a saw
age stag that had broken loose from
| the park. Ayling we'll knew
the nature and disposition of this
animal, as he had once had bout
with him on his own account. He
was one Of the largest of his class;
literally, "a Monarch Of the Glen,
which had been sent to the lord ot
the manor from the Highlands Of
Scotland. His widely branching
antlers were of enormous size, and
| the man who should once get fairly
caught thereon might calculate up
on speedy exit from this sublu-
nary sphere.

.tainly more than three-score- per

/ When our hero first discovered
him he had lodged behind large
oak tree, while the stag stood ready
for charge ehithe opposite side.
Ayling saw in an instant that
when the stag should make another
onset it would be next to impossible
| for his victim to escape and if the
| infuriate. beast once reached him
what could save him +? The brave
youth hesitated only long enough
to fully grasp the situation. He
had great confidence in his own
| physical strength, and he believed
he could throw the animal from his
! feet. At all events he would not
see a defenceless old man Killed be-
fore his face, while be had strength
| and sense. to make an effort. He
took a critical view of every point
and then with bound and a veil
be leaped forward.
Exactly how he did it he could
| never tell. He caught the branch

] ing with heavy force against the
stag shoulder; then with all his
lstrength, Twisting the head back
ward, and drawing it towards him,
while he struck his foot with a solid
kick against the leg nearest to him.
The effort was successful. He
brought the stag down upon his
side, driving his nose into the gray
ell, and pressing his knees upon the
neck and shoulder. Then he shout
ed to the old gentleman to run.
There was gate not ten rods away,
which he. could easily reach.
| "Run for the gate, and / will fol-
low" was-his Jcommand; and the
man had sense enough to obey; and

lieutenant sprang -to~his feet, and
sped after him; and before the de-
n1orahzed beast could recevcrl bis
senses both the men were safe.
"Well, young. man, you have
saved my life. Don't you think so p

saved you from great danger
