Concluded From Last Week.

AS Dolly Rivers left the Primrose
School and half walked, half ran down
the frozen, uneven road, she paused
for a moment at turn to take fare
we'll look at the low. rambling build
ing, dimly seen in the half-lght of the
early morning.
Though she had never liked the
Misses Primrose, she had deep affec
ton for the school itself, where in the
last year and half she had had SO
many good times.
Every green shutter on the white
building was closed now, and not even
a ribbon of smoke from the kitchen
chimney betrayed sign of life about
the place
Goodbye old school, she murmur-
ed softly, and turned quickly away, the
tears smarting in her eyes.
There came soft and quick patter
behind her, and the next moment Tags,
her dog, his chain trailing behind him,
was leaping joyfully about Dolly.
He had broken loose from his kennel,
and now, though Dolly tried to make
him go back, he absolutely refused. He
seemed to realize that she was going
for good.
1t was a quarter to o'clock, when
blue with the cold and half famished
for something to eat, Dolly came to
quaint old farmhouse standing close
to the road. The farm hands were
busy about the yard and a fresh look

they reached Brendon so furious was
the pace. as they drew near the sta
ton they heard the clang of the engine
bell and slow puff! puff which told
Mr. Rivers that the New York express
was already pulling out of tne station.
We've lost it" cried the coachman.
Mr.. Rivers said nothing, bat IN a
jify he had crawled over into the seat
beside the coachman and ss:zed the
reins.
The road crosses the railroad track
! about 6 quarter Of mile below the
station. and it was at this point that
the carriage, met the train. The
coachman was pale with fear when he
saw what Mr.. Rivers meant to do De-
liberately be drove up on the track and
drew rein. The engine driver of the
already swiftly moving train wh;stled
loudly as he bore down on them. Then
seeing the carriage did not move. he
applied the brakes and brought the en-
CINE to standstill within six feet of
the carriage
And that was how Mr. Rivers caught
! the train and Dolly found a father.

How Dolly Rivers Ran Away

the kitchen and remarked that a gen
tleman in the carriage wanted to find
the Primrose School
Tell him to turn to the right after
he crosses the second bridge and ne
can't miss it" said Dolly; and she
thought to herself with heavy sigh:
IF papa were only alive that man
might be he, for he has never been
to the school himself"
Oh. Dolly! Dolly, If you had only
caught sight of that soldierly erect
figure in the carriage, with its sharp
black eyes and the shock of hair pre-
maturely gray, what would you have

wouldn't take any pay for Dolly's
breakfast, and so, with many thanks
for her goodness. the girl and Tags
started at brisk pace for Brendon
