THE PHANTOM'S
y WARMING. W
ny WALTER 3. HIATT.

4 BOUT the broad hearth in it's
n customary manner the family
had assembled after the evening
meal. and Henry Carroll. the city
cousin, come to the country to re-
store failing health. found his first
visit into a Kentucky home not SO
duh as he had anticipated. The hos
pitality of country folk, who knew
well the art of entertaining, was his.
Mr. Rankin. his wife, and above all,
the daughter, Martha, ingeniously
led the guest to talk of himself and
his short history, and of that branch
of the family from which he was di-
rectly descended, until the hour of
II was reached long before he would
have guessed it.
They conversation lulled. Silence
was broken only by the ticking of
the clock. Suddenly Carroll heard
the faint pit-a-pat of galloping
horse on the frozen turnpike. He
walked to the window overlooking
the road. and the sharp air bore the
sound more clearly to him.
II wonder who that can be, riding
so wildly at this time of night"' he
asked.
Some drunken fellow going home,
I suppose" said Mr.. Rankin, indif-
ferently. but with significant look
at his wife.
Carroll pressed his face to the win
dow pane and once more looked out
,,,n,. tba ,nnnnl;f country He had
full view of Che pike, and some
distance down the little valley, just
where Dix river was bridged, he saw
the dim figure of horseman dash
ing along. The horse crossed the
bridge with terrific clatter, the rider
not drawing rein for an instant.
Every board in the wooden struc-
ture seemed to start and tremble,
arousing all the drowsy echoes of the
valley.
HE rides like, n wild mani" ex-
claimed CARROLL "Come here! Look
at him! One would think both man
and beast were hunted-were flee
ing from the devil himself"
Martha ran to the window and
gazed for a moment at the fast-dis-
appearing horseman. Papa, maybe
it's our ghost-'Rob the rider'-that
Aunt Dinah once met"
The mournful bay of foxhounds
disturbed by the hoof beats and the
suggestion of chase gave her re-
mark tinge of color. The young
people stood side by side at the win
dow, curiously watching the silent
horseman. In a few moments he was
lost in the mist which hung over the
valley, and the sound of the hoof
beats, growing fainter and fainter,
were heard no more.
Both MIR. and Mrs. Rankin had kept
their seats while the rider passed,
and now tried in vain to lift the
gloom his appearance had left in
passing. Carroll noticed this and
half laughingly inquired il Martha's
ghost was a reality.
mot at all; simply a stupid old
story of the negroes" said Mr.. RAN
kin. lie spoke in an unconvincing
manner, however, and the fireside
group relapsed into moody silence.
Carroll saw the glance of the host
wonder from time to time to that
corner next the window, where the
hardwood floor was carefully hid

uncertain ballot; and the moment the

himself, that moment he will begin to
distribute his political patronage

ing to neighborhood fox meets. driv-
ing Martha to dances and parties,
and in other ways filing out the rou-
tine of life in the country. In fol
lowing this social round he found
that the chase after health can
sometimes be made cheerful occu-
patton, especially with a girl like
Martha to help one. They rapidly
became good friends, and Carroll was
astonished to discover how neces-
sary her company was TO his COM
fort and pleasure. 1t seemed that he
was always seeking a pretext to be
with her. Were there errands at the
grocery store or the post Office in
town. only he and Martha could do
them conformity. AS these errands
were numerous, they drove to town
in the buggy nearly every day.
With the passing of the spring
rains these drives became more and
more delightful. Nature awoke to
full life and the earth throbbed with
maternity. The dull, sodden fields
of grain and the frozen pastures I'M
folded their cloaks. and Carroll saw
for the first time the full beauty OF
the blue grass region. Field of blue
followed field of blue in slight rises
and falls until the eyes sight was
lost in the vaguely outlined foothills
Of the mountains. Was IL any won
der, then, that the two lovers felt
the pulse of nature stir within them,
that they felt the joy of living and
turned to thoughts of love?
