One of the park stages was almost

seemed a certainty that the team would
Craze it and brush Blaisdell off against
the rear of it in way that would leave
not a whole bone in his body. With
utter desperation, not born of the fear
of injury, but of the dread of failure,
he pushed the maddened horse aside
The animal swerved, and yet Blaisdell
did not fall, though he seemed to be
lifted entirely off his bicycle for a mo-
ment.
They shot by the stage, which seem
ed to contain millions of shrieking wo-
men, that vanished both eye and ear,
the instant they were passed. A new
peril leaped up in its place. Blaisdell
had unconsciously fancied the horses
sweeping round into the driveway, but
they did not do so. They We're running
diagoDally across it and would dash
themselves in among the trees upon the
other side. This was calamity, for the
girl in the carriage wolkH almost GER
tainly be terribly hurt if not killed, by
such a collision.
And Blaisdell could not turn the
horses. 1t came to him suddenly that
the thing was out of his power. There
was not space enough at the speed.
They were going across the sidewalk
and in among the trees for all that he
could do. Yet he would not give up.
He must make the best of it.

They had been married but two
months. He came home one evening
to find his wife in tears. She had
found an old scrapbook of his in
which were pasted some poems he had
written to some one else and published
in the college papers. 81 thought" she
said, you had never loved any one but
me-" And he promptly treasured her
that she had thought truly. and burned
up his old scrapbook in the furnace
in the basement.
And the next day he found that she
had distributed on the mantel and the
dresser not less than five photographs
of as many former beauX of hers and
invited two of them who were in town
to dinner the next Sunday.-St. Louis

go out from under him and fly to splin-
tiers. For moment he seemed to be
in the air, as light as bird. Then he
struck earth unhurt The horses were
behind him. One of them had stumbled
on the curb and was recovering. Mad
dened by fear of failure at the mo-
ment Of success, Blaisdell sprang
straight at the animals, as wildly as
they leaped toward him. He caught
one of the horses by the nose and the
bride with his two hands at the same
instant, and the remarkable strength
of his long fingers enabled him to hang
on. He was beaten against a tree and
dragged through great bush, and the
next moment he was in an open space.
He was one pain from head to foot,
but he hung on, for success was sure.
On the other side of the narrow strip
of open ground was a hill steep as a
fort, with wall on top. The horses
must stop there. They did, but many
bruise did Blaisdell get in that short
journey while he dragged at their
heads.
At the end of it he was not quite
right i'll his mind. A mounted police
man seemed to come up through the
earth, and there were various other
phenomena whose appearance was not
in accord with ordinary experience
Yet he knew that his one great chance
had not been thrown away.

the policeman.
That's right, you did," was the re-
ply. But why in thunder didn't you
let 'em go after they got in here? They
couldn't do any harm after they were
out of the road"
Baisdell suddenly remembered why
he had done this desperate deed.
1.-The girl" he cried. "Where is she?"
81 didn't see any girl" replied the po-
liceman. THE carriage was empty
when it came across the roadway"
Empty repeated Blaisdell family.
Sure" said the officer And at that
moment the liveried coachman ran up.
"Miss StamfordT cried Blaisdell. SIS
