Dandy. generally the sweetest tempered
of men, was in bad humor. He slashed
Faust.in q manner which astohished that
high spirited animal and sent him along
in fine STYLE whi ch would have raised him
several inches in the estimation of Miss
Mary Give had she been there to see.
He galloped some miles and then turned
TO the Goa st and Travelled home ward at
slower pace along the cliffs.
Presently he came to a cleft in the cliffs,
which ran inward from the sea and barred
his further progress In that direction.
The Jump was too ugly for a man in his
senses TO attempt. He forthwith proceeded
to skirt it.
On a sudden he pulled Faust up with an
abruptuess which sent him onto his hind
legs. for a woman's shrek had pierced
the air.
Across the gap few hundred yards away
in a hollow previously hidden from his view
he saw Mary menacng rough-looking man
in a sailors dress with the walking stick
which always accompanied her upon her
solitary rambles.
But she was only a girl, and before Dandy
had time to fully grasp the situation the
stick was flying from her hand and she was
completely at the mercy of her prosecutor.
The blood flew to Dandys face.
Don't be frightened, Mary!' he shouted.
I'm coming to you"
1t was terrible jump, and in case of
failure a horrible death awaited both
horse and rider on the rocks over hundred
feet below.
She looked up and saw him for the first
time At the same instant she recognized
! the danger of what he was about to do, and
her face went whittier, If possible, than
before.
For Gods sake stay where you are, ="
she shrieked; you'll kill YOURSELF
And then she shut her eyes and prayed as
| she had never prayed in her life, for the
man she had called effeminate had dug

| had sprung like an arrow from q bow at
