Forty-eight minutes later, when the

seemed highly amused. and a clergy

nary driving rig. They were already
going at a three-minute pace.
He gave quick glance over his
shoulder. An automobile was just
turning curve of the road, three
fourths of mile behind. His eyes
studied its occupants keenly.
Yes, that's the sheriff all right"
he thought, grimly. mo one could
mistake those shoulders and that cow
companion. l wonder who the corH=
panion is-some fellow he's sworn in
as deputy, likely. And the automobile

isn't back there. Reckless as the sheriff
is after game, l don't think he'll take
over three miles out of a strange ma
Cnine, and it's only 20 to Leighton,
with straight road and a good start
and my span fresh. Yes, it'll be a
race"
But ten minutes later he could see
that the automobile was slowly, but
surely, gaming on him, and at the end
OF half an hour, with eight of the 20
miles passed, the automobile had co.,
cred one-third of the distance between
them. The horses were now breathing
heavily and their speed decreasing;
the machine was coming on more rap
idly. Barstow glanced over his shoul-
der, studying the ground critically,
then allowed his gaze to fall back to
his pursuer. The sheriff was motion
ing frantically for him to stop. Bar
stow grinned satirically.
mot just yet, Cunningham" he
thought. THE race is getting too in
teresting. Besides, there's too great
stake involved. Any other time I'd be
glad to accommodate you. Just now
I'm going to Leighton, and with good
luck shall have barely 20 minutes to
gather up a minister and have him at
the station when her train comes in.
Once across the line, and I'll whistle
at Cunningham-no, won't. I'll ask
him to be best man, if he follows me

with his span. and he had read it at a
glance and then dashed away on his
wild race to Leighton. He now swept
the lines with another glance, his face

Mrs. Chadwick when his health has

in a statement given out at Mr.. Car

"Mr. Carnegie's only reason for not

already been given" said the secre-
tary. "His health will not admit OF
his taking the trip save at consider
