with little cry of delight, and the doc
tor never forgot the look of gratitude
with which she regarded him.
The coachman came down the road
presently and resumed charge of the
horse and carriage. The doctor was on
his way to Cresswell to visit one of his
patients. On his return he called at
the Mowrie house and saw Hiram. He
did not say that the injured leg could
be Strengthened; but he told Alvira to
write to her father for permission to
have her brother taken to hospital in
the city for treatment.
This Alvira did. Mr.. Mowrie's a9-
proval came in the next mail, and in a
few days Hiram, accompanied by DR..
Delmore, made the journey 20 the city.
One day Alvira, who was alone in the
little house on the cliff, received from
her brother the following letter:
My Dear Brave Viry:
DR.. Delmore says am going TO get
we'll; and he says, too, that some So
ciety is going to give you gold medal.
1t has been in the newspapers that you

blackberres that grew in the woods
and the thickets, her brain was busy
with devices for reaching the grett
man. Sometimes one might have seen
her computing a 'sum" that was not
in the arithmetic with stumpy lead
pencil on the margin of a newspaper
She never finished this sum quite 10 her
satisfaction, but she often looked up
from her work with hopeful express
sion. saying something like this:
IF he'd only wait, | guess l could
get the whole thousand paid up in about
forty years"
One afternoon when Alvira was
picking berries few rods from the far
end of the railroad bridge, on the brow
of the hill opposite to their house, she
heard the sharp clatter of horse-hools
on the stony road leading past tbe
bridge.
The sound became more and more
distinct. until presently the girl caught
sight of runaway horse dragging
carriage. Evidently the rider had been
thrown from his seat. and the occu-
pant of the vehicle was powerleSs TO
help himself.
Alvira had had some experience with
horses. for she often drove Mrs. Cap
ner to and from Cresswell, and some
times she assisted Mr.. Capner with his
farm work. Besides, she was fearless.
In moment she had taken OH ner D'S
sunbonnet, and was letting out the
"drawString." She stood on the enl-
bankment side of the road as the horse
came down the grade. A plan had oc.
Cured to her. one that she had heard
of.
ITS the only thing to be done,' she
thought, as, few seconds later, she
sprang as close as she dared to the fly
ing horse, and deftly threw the bonnet
over his head
The blind acted as Alvira thought
it would The frightened horse leaped
to the other side of the road and tried
to shake off the unexpected obstruction
to his vision.
Alvira had just grasped the bride
when the door of the carriage opened.
and a well-dressed man came out and
hurried to her relief.
"Thank you very much" he said in
grateful, pleasant voice. You did n
very brave thing, and doubtless saved
me from an accident"
Il was afraid the horse would reach
the bridge and plunge through" said
Alvira as she stood beside the painting
animal and stroked its neck. Il guess
you may trust me to mind him if you
want to hunt up the driver"
"Thank you again. said the man.

She found her neighbor seated on
the back porch. and she at once opened
up the subject of her errand. Mrs.
Capner was not a little surprised. She
supposed that the girl had come to
borrow something. for now and then
Alvira asked for the loan of an easy
PATTERN or for the weekly paper that
Mrs. Capner subscribed for.
Have | ever heard of Dr. Delmore"
the woman repeated. "Why, he's that
high-toned doctor from the city that
the Baineses got TO set their Jacks
arm when it was broken so bad! But
sit down, Alvira, and make yourself
at home"
Alvira sat down on the edge of the
chair that Mrs. Capner had placed for
her. Her cheeks were red from run
ming. and her eyes were brilliant and
eager as she continued:
Mrs. Capner does DR.. DeimOre
charge high? You see, was thinking
of getting him to look at Hirams leg"
Good gracious, Alvira Mowrie"
cried Mrs. Capner. you don't know
what you are saying! DR.. Delmore!-
why. you might as well make tea
party and invite Queen Victoria. All
the money you could get for your place
on the cliff wouldn't begin to pay DR..
Delmore'S bill"
Alvira felt sudden sinking in her
heart. The color left her cheeks as
she gazed into her neighbor'S eyes in a
puzzled helpless way. Meanwhile the
woman thought that the girt either did
not believe her, or that She was TOO
stupid and ignorant to understand.
why" she went on, trying to make
things palmer Or Delmore charged
Mr.. Baines $1,000 for the setting of
Jacks arm! OF course he had to come
long distance, and it was very hard
case. The village doctor said the arm
would have to be amputated: 1t was
broken in three places, you know. Bnt
they say it's as well as the other one
now"

ALvlRA AND THE DOCTORS RUNAWAY HORSE,

I'D be willing to live on bread and
water all my life if Hiram could only
be cured" sighed Alvira, sorrowful!y.
Mrs. Capner was not little touched.
Il only wish knew how to help YOU.
But $1,000! That's almost fortune!
And believe DR.. Delmore would not
even look ut lIiram'S leg for less. Why.
he travels around with Il man-servant
all rugged out in brass buttons like Il
soldier. You'd better not bother about
such II swell doctor, girl. Anyhow.
Hiram's leg has had its crookedness
for two years and more, and l doubt
whether even DR.. Delmore could cure
him."
Alvira rose to go home.
THANK you for telling me the truth,
Mrs. Capner," she said. "GGod-by."
How shall l tell poor little Hiram
this?" she moaned to herself, as she
tramped through the woods.

Viry?"
Alvira could not look at the glad lit
tie face. She did not speak until she
had taken seat beside her brother on
the doorstep. Then she said, very
gravely:
Look here, Hiram. Once Won said
You wanted to be well so that you could
do brave things. Perhaps it's ordered
that you'll have to be brave in another
way-brave to bear instead of brave to
do"
Hiram understood. His sharp little
features grew pale in the twilight: but
not complaint, not cry, not even a
sigh escaped his lips.
Alvira and Hiram did not talk anv
more about Or. Delmore, but the girl
did not cease to think of him. While
her busy fingers plucked the wild
