Upon arriving at the top MT Roberts stepped quickly forward to regain the sleigh. The horse, hearing the crunching of the snow under his feet, became frightened and broke into run. He ran as far as c. c. Blakeman's, mile north of Upper Stepney, when MT Blakeman saw him and grasping the bri- dle, pluckily held on until the horse was stopped and pacified. MT Roberts is not easily worried, for when he saw the horse disappearing in the distance, he saw it was useless to attempt to catch it on foot, so he very cooly stopped at the postoffiee for the mail and at the store to make some purchases, then started leisurely after the runaway. meeting MT Blake man driving it back. Nothing was in- jured.
