An Intelligent Horse.

Parsons CKas.) Eclipse; On Sunday O
mover in a prairie schooner passed
through tho city going west. He had q
small drove OF mules and several horses,
all loose, following the wagon, and among
them was a beautiful sorrel horse, with
bride saddle on, but no rider. People
on the streets noticed that the sorrel
seemed to be overseeing the herd, and
would round them up occasionally. AS the
caravan reached Central venue the sor-
rel ran ahead and stood In the middle of
the street. looking up and down. as if.
watching for danger. After satisfying
himself that the way was clear he rounded
up the herd and the caravan started
again. Having reached the Katy
crossing. the animal again went ahead
and, standing In the center OF the tracks,
looked intently each way. When the herd
had partially crossed the track he sud
denly pricked up his ears and hurrying to
the rear, he rushed the herd across the
run. A train was coming from the south
and passed shortly after he had got safe
ly, over. He hurried to the next track,
which branches off several rods from the
main line, and seeing a train coming from
the opposite direction, rounded up his
herd and waited until II passed. 1t was a
most remarkable performance, witnessed
by a large umb of people on the
streets. The horse was evidently a high
bred animal. built like q racer, with small
ears and very intelligent head. During all
the time the mover did not get out of his
wagon, but left the management OF the
whole matter to the horse.

CHAPTER HNVI.-A'

CHAPTER XXvI.-AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR
This premature discovery was very en-.
barrassing to Mona. Her conviction that
it would make matters worse If Mary OF
Kenneth knew that Uncle Sandy's eyei
had been opened, gave her courage, how.
ever, TO keep il a secret from the parties
most interested. 1t would be a great gain
II he grew accustomed to the idea Of the
engagement before he was able to fly out
and pledge himself to opposition, for to an
y '''na'e, headstrong nature like his, re-
traction was almost impossible. He had
an immense contempt for men who threat
ened and did not execute.
But Mona felt infinitely depressed, and
singularly lonely. II she could but see the
question OF kenneth's engagement set ut
rest, she would certainly take leave of alb
sence and pay her dear Deb a visit. Not
that she could ever tell even that dear
friend the secret Of her inner sorrow; but
the sound of her kind voice-the change
would bring relief.
Uncle Sandy was in a very queer temper
after this discussion. He wa querulous
and complaining, yet occasionally obsequi.
Gus to his niece, on whom he had grown
very dependent, and Of whose independ.
cnee he stood in awe.
Waring felt that something had gone
wrong, and watched Mona's expressive
fact with profound sympathy.
LET me come with you," he said, one
afternoon, when she had complained of q
headache, and begged Mary to read to Mr..
Craig, while she went to try the fresh ali
cure.

They proceeded through the grounds in
to the group Of oak trees beyond. On the
edge OF the little wood was a bench from
which was a view Of the sea, between two
rocky hills. A narrow ravine opened
steeply down to the beach, widening as II
descended, and here, on its sheltered sides

honey-scented gorse blossoms were to be
found. Behind the seat were big gray
powders, scattered among the tall brack.

ground where it. stood, the hillside rose
steeply up.

Mona, as they sat down. "On q very still
day you can hear the dash and ripple o.
the waves down there like a soft accom-.
paniment to your thoughts, or the thought.
you are reading. Then, later on, the hum
OF the bees as they gather the honey from
the whins, as Uncle Sandy calls them,
makes a complete harmony with the whis
per of the wavelets. 1t is enough to fIaks

II dare say" said Waring, resting his ell.
bow on his knee, and his head on his hand
while his eyes dwelt on hers with the
grave, yearning expression they otter
wore-"I dare say your uncle thinks he
