About halfway across the heath there
had been wide dixie recently cut, and the
ca tn from the cutting was cast up rough
ly on the other side. Surely this would
stop them But no. with scarcely pause
Lizzie took the leap, stumbled among the
rough clods, and fell. Blantyre groaned,
Now, Auster, do your best!" He gave me
steady rein. l gathered myself we'll to-
gether, and with one determined leap
cleared both dixie and bank.
Motionless among the heather, with her
face to the earth, lay my poor young mis-
tress. Blantyre kneeled dnown and called
her name; there was no sound. Gently he
turned her face upward: it was CHASTITY

dear Annie, do speak," But there was no
answer. He unbuttoned her habit, loos-
ened her collar, felt her hands and wrist,
then started up and looked wildly round
him for help.
At no great distance there were two
men cutting turf, who. seeing Lizzie run
ming wild without rider, had left their
work to catch her
Blantyre's halo soon brought them to
the spot. The foremost nan seemed much
troubled at the sight. and asked what he
could do
Can you rider"
"Well, sir, bean't much of horseman
but I'd risk my neck for the Lady Anne

winter"
Then mount this horse. my friend

"All right, sir, I'll co my best, and 1
pray God the dear young lady may open
her eyes soon. Then seeing the other
man, called out, "Here, Joe, run for some
water, and tell my misss to come as quick
as she can to the Lady Anne"
He then somehow scrambled into the
saddle, and with "Gee up" and clap on
my sides with both his legs, he started on
his journey, making little circuit to
avoid the dixie. He had no whip, which
seemed to trouble him but my pace soon
cured that difficulty and he found the
best thing he could do was to stick to the
saddle and hold me in, which he did man
fully. l shook him as little as 1 could
hep, but once or twice on the rough
ground he called out, STEADY Woah!
Steady" On the highroad we were all
right; and at the doctors and the Hall he
did his errand like good man and true.
They asked him in to take drop of some
thing. mo, no" he said "I'll be back to
'em again by a short cut through the
fields and be there afore the carriage"

and bride were taken off, and a cloth
thrown over me.
Ginger was saddled and sent off in great
haste for Lord George, and l soon heard
the carriage roll out of the yard.
1t seemed a long time before Ginger
came back, and before we were left alone
and then she told me all that she had seen

gallop nearly all the way, and got there
just as the doctor rode up. There was a
woman sitting on the ground with the
lady head in her lap. The doctor poured
something into her mouth, but all that
heard was, She is not dead Then l was
led off by man to a little distance. After
while she was taken to the carriage, and
we came home together. heard my mac
er say to gentleman who stopped him to
inquire, that he hoped no bones were
broken, but that she had not spoken yet
When Lord George took Ginger for hunt

to be steady hand to train a horse for
the first season, and not random rider
like Lord George.
Ginger used to like it very much, but
sometimes when she came back I could
see that she had been very much strained,
and now and then she gave, a short cough.
She had too much spirit to complain, but
