Theyoung lady, rising, turned to DOrtson
'Stand back now" said the police
man, your right will be recognized
wheL the lady can tell who her friends
are"
At this moment the occupant OF the
carriage came hurrying up.
"Is she injured?" he asked. "Bring
her TO this drug store. am a physi'
cisn."
"By - Fasset," cried the young
man who had interfered, with an oath,
and who was following, You manufac'
ture your patients, You ought TO have
your neck broken for driving like that. "
'Be quiet, Harry, for heavens sake3
implored the physician.
During this brief Interchange Dorison,
accompanied by the policeman, who was
assisting in bearing the young lady, had
reached the drug store and placed her
in a chair.
The other two followed, and the Uhysi-
clan, bending over the girl, said:
alt is faint"
Calling for remedies, he soon restored
| the yOuLg lady to consciousness.
Opening her eyes she looked about In
/ daZed manner for moment, as II she
/ could not recOllect her senses.
! "Where am I?'' she asked bewildered.
"What has h&ppened?" Recognizing
the physician, she said: "Oh, it is you,
doctor? How came l here?"

me. 1t was l who knocked you down. s"
Eyes" bitterly laughed the young
man, with his fine, fast span, he
knocked you down."
The girl looked up, and Dorison was
certain be caught an expression Of dis
like aud contempt as it fitted over her
face during the moment her eyes rested
upon the speaker. For the first time
DOrisOn seriously regarded the young
man, and observed that his face bore the
unmistakable evidence OF rapidity OF
life, and that he was no stranger to the
/ brandy bottle. Yet the face would have
been called handsome by most people;
the flush attributed by Dorison to al
cohol by many would have been taken
as an evidence 81 youth and health, and
his air and manner called daShing and
engaging. His fine clothes were extreme
| in cut and loud in cOlors. The sum of
DorisOn's rapid conclusions was that the
man was a low bred "cad."
The physician repeated his question.
"No," replied the girl. ~ am not
( hurt. But what does it all mean?"
The policeman replied to her ques-
tion:
ut means that after you got out OF
the Fifth avenue stage opposite here
7 you were knocked down by a team, aud
/ you'd "a bin run over but for the spry-
ness of this gentleman" indicating Dor
lson with nod, "who leaped forward,
/ pulled you from under the wheels and
| brought you TO the sidewalk"
The girl lifted her violet eyes to Dori-
son with most grateful expression,
and, blushiug as she spoke, said simply:
Thank you, sir"
~ thank my good fortune l was so
near as TO be Of service" replied Dori-
son, little embarrassed under such
/ grateful eyes.
None but the brave"-sneered the
/ young man.
"Be quiet" said the policeman, so
! savagely the utterer OF the sneer found
/ IL convenient 20 walk away a short dis
/ lance The physician began 10 QueS-
/ ton her as TO possible injuries.
To all inquiries the young lady made
such replies IS indicated no serions dam
age had been done, although she was
/ evidently much shocked.
II do not think the young lady has
| sustained any injuries beyond q few
! bruises" said Dorison. ''She was struck
/ by the shoulder Of the horse nearest her.
4 l am certain nothing else touched her,
not even horses hoof."
"Then," said the physician, 'I am
| thankful 10 be able to say that slight
/ stimulant IS all that will be required TO
enable her to return home"
This was administered, and the dirt
and dust having been brushed from her
clothes, the physician said:
/ 81 hope, Miss Eustace, you will per-
nit me to make a slight reparation for
I my laundering carelesSnesS, by driving
I you home? My excuse for rapid driving

the young lady. Il am wholly recov-

II will accompany Miss Eustace
home" said the young man, perceiving
an opportunity and striving to utilize it.
''No, sir, it is unnecessary" replied
/ the young lady, with such GOODNESS and
haughtipesS ss to make repetition OF

she said: "Will you do me the favor 10

The doctor departed with apologies as
the officer entered, having caught a cab
at the door.
The young lady, rising, turned tc
DOrison, and with color again flushing
her cheeks said;
"Sir, II Ihave not expressed gratitude
to 700 for your service. itis not because
