81 don't see how you could be. 1t
so often happens that people do not
know their own minds"
There was no room for doubt in this
case We were out sleighrlding the
evening the Colonel proposed to me. l
had refused him several times before
TEEN him as friend. We heard the
Jingle of the bells behind us. The
Colone's horse, thoroughbred of
which he was very proud, quickened
its pace at the sound. The Colonel
looked around and exclaimed: Here's
the chance I've been waiting for. That's
Judge Peabody behind us. He has
been Dragging about that new horse Of
his for the last six weeks. but whenever
tried to get him right down to a race
he has lodged out of it somehow with
out acknowledging that this horse
could beat him.
"The Colonel slowed up so as to let
the Judge overtake him. The Judge
didn't dare to refuse the challenge, be-
cause he had girl with him. He
would not allow himself to be humii-
ated in her eyes. As soon as the two
sleighs were even, the Colonel gave our
horse a cut with the whip and away we
went, the animals with necks eagerly
extended and the people leaning over
the dashboards trying to help them
along. For few seconds the horses
feet thumped on the road in perfect
rhythm: then we began to move ahead.
The village was about mile distant,
and the Colonel leaned out, turned, and
shouted:
Judge. I'll see you at the Post Of
fee
THE Judge gave his horse a blow
with the whip, but he was already u.s.
ing all the speed he had. turned
around. half out of the sleigh, to keep
a lookout. The sleigh struck a boulder
and pitched me out into a snowdrift. I
was not hurt, and gave thanks when
l saw the sleigh was not wholly over
turned and was speeding on It's way
to the Post Office, still several lengths
ahead Of the Judge. Imagine my as
constituent when | saw the Colonel
slow up. let the Judge pass him, and
turn round"
He was coming back after you,"

That's exactly what he was doing.
