HIS CLERICAL RIVAL.


true Kcntuciian and many other poo
pie say Is the most beautiful country
in the world.
Bradley had owned place near The
Forks of Elkhorn for two or three
years, but this was his first visit to
IT, He had bought IT because II had
belonged to one of his ancestors.
Really, his stopping the runaway
horse had not been thrilling rescue,
and he folt a little uncomfortable rs
he thought that possibly he appeared
slightly ridiculous in the eyes OF The
girl
He was sitting, thinking the matter
over. on the white-culumned porch OF
his own house. which he had already
begun to think of as home,
lie had claimed and been given the
privilege Of driving the girl home. aud
had been introduced to and thanked
by her father, Col Ogilvia, whom he
remembered to have heard Of as a
gallant and distinguished officer OF nc
confederate army.
Col Oglvie had known Brndley's IA
thor and remembered his grandfather
go was quite willing to accept him for
shat hc appeared to be and was-a
gentleman.
thus the acquaintance progressed
lie saw much OF Elizabeth 0gilyie, and
found himself falling more and more
in love with her. She, and no other
he had made up his mind, would be
the fitting mistress for his old country
house.
From his confidence OF winning her
he was awakened by chance remarl
she made. Her father happened tc
mention the name of DR.. Graysun
Something in the girls manner made
him suspect a possible successful rival
When Bradley threw out an appar'
entity idle question as to the identity
OF Grayson and his relations 20 The
| OIilyies. Elizabeth said. dcmurely:
lie is the dearest old fellow m tn,
world lie is going TO marry me-
Tho young man did not wear his
heart on his sleeve, neither did b,

Nevertheless. the girl was certain
