the thiclset they saw it stop and sink
down to its knees, then roll slowly on
head upon the turf They saw the cap
tain spring from the saddle, throwing
away smoking pistol as he did so, and
going forward lift from the fallen
horse its rider, who had sunk forward
as the horse fell and lay with her head
upon its glistening neck.
The captain saw o very pale-faced
girl, who struggled to her feet with his
assistance, but would have fallen if he
had not supported her. For few Sec

faint smile and hardly audible mo, y
his eager inquiries as to whether she
were hurt. He bent over her suddenly
and pressed his lips to her cheek.

had gone in there, mine would have
followed; you would not have gone to
your death alone.r
May smiled again, family, and with q
little sigh sank into perfect uncon-
sciousncss, just as the others came rid
ing clamorously up. She was taken in
charge by the ladies' and regained con-
sciousness with her head pillowed in
Mrs. Aliens lap. Capt. Armstrong
stood at a little distance leaning against
his horse, with face that was still
very white. May was not hurt, and,
despite the weakness she felt, insisted
that she was able to ride to the fort,
which was about mile and q half
away, and that there was no necessity
OF sending for an ambulance.
Lieut.. Carleton brought forward his
horse, and taking the saddle from the
quiet black one strapped it on and stood
holding the bride while May was as
sisted to mount. He then declared his
intention OF leading the horse to the

He bowed graVeiy over her hand, but
did not speak. His face was still pale,
with look OF suppressed excitement
about the lines of his mouth and eyes.
The party proceeded slowly, for de-
spite Miss FarWell's protestations she
was still very weak and dizzy.
They reached the fort in the late
twilight, and the little cavalcade did
not attract very mpch attention, but be-
fore an hour had passed everyone was
aware of Miss Farwell's perilous ride
and the captains gallant rescue. Com
pany G.. U. s. cavalry, told longer and
louder stories than ever that night of
their captains bravery.
The next day the colonel's wife was
kept busy with callers who came to in
quire about Miss Farwell, and hear
from headquarters an account Of the
adventure.
"No," Mrs. Farweil said to them all,
MAY is not hurt at all. Her nerves
are the only sufferers. and she is rapidly
getting over the shock to them. She is
keeping quiet to-day SO as to be able TO
attend the little party which Mrs. Al

The city of Grand Rapids can be re-
deemed from Democratic supremacy.
1t cannot be redeemed, however, by
quietly acquiescing in the declaration
that the probable candidate for mayor
on the Democratic ticket twill be
elected anyway" There are just as
capable, just as honest, just as worthy
and just as popular men in the Repub-
lican party as there are IN the Demo-
cratic party, and az matter OF poll
ties, greatly better men. The idea that

because ne is nsn of brains, energy
and business sagscity would make any
other political organization superhuous.

CHAPTER XIII.

The day is near; the darkest hour that
presages the dawn has come, and still every
one is dancing, and talking, and laughing,
and some are alluring, by the aid of smiles
and waving fans, the hearts of men.
Kit Beresford, in spite of her youth and
her closely-cropped head,-which, after all,
IS adorable in many ways,-has secured, all
to her own bow, young man from the
Skillereen-BarTacks "a meager town to the
west of ROSsmoyne). He is veTy young,
young man, and is by this time quite bon
cdmdrade with the sedate Kit, who is
especially lenient with his shortcomings,
and treats him as though he were nearly as
old as herself.
Monica is dancing with Mr. Ryde. To do
him justice, he dances very well; but
whether Monica is dissatisfied with him, or
whether she is tenderly regretful of the fact
that at this moment she might Just as well
or rather better-be dancing with another,
l cannot say; but certainly her fair face Is
clothed with a pensive expression that
