his horse, pushed on along the lonely road,
which led thEough, the very heart of the
dangerous forest. From the moment he
left the blacksmith the wilderness grew
more, Wild. and picturesque. Distant blue
hills, seemingtto almost reach up to the
skies, surrounded him on every side. sr,
i51n his great anxiety he often urged his
poor horse until the beast was quite eX-
haiisted. He entered large tract of low,
level land covered with a dense forest of
giant trees. The road leading through
there was broad and seemed well Travelled.
He was riding along rather more leisure

behind a e!iand seizing his. horse by the
reins called him to halt. 7,s.

horse to sapling, and dragged the body
to small brook. where he threw water on

A night of sleep disturbed by such
dreams brings little rest, ana Uncle Owen
was glad TO depart from the roadside inn.
His horse was fresh, and for several miles
Travelled briskly, but about IL o'clock be-
gan to limp. The lameness was slight at
first, but increased until he realized that
unless the cause was discovered and re-
moved he would be compelled TO stop.
Just as he was on the verge of despair,
he came upon a blacksmith shop at the
side of the road.
"There is something wrong with my
horses foot" said Uncle Owen, dismount-
ing at the door of the shop.
The smith lifted the left fore foot of
the horse and examined the shoe and foot
very carefully. Then he got his tools and
looscned the shoe and took out a small
hard pebble.
"Do ye see that, stranger" asked the
smith. THAT never got there itself; some
one stuck that under that last night while
