 1a d0Esn jumps Allis stopped Lau- lanne, threw herself from the saddle. and leaving the horse ran swiftly back to her father.
 Oh. my God, he's dead, he's dead!" she cried. piteously, the nerve that had stood the strain of the fierce ride utter ly shattered and unstrung at sight of the senseless form. - He's not dead" said Carter, putting ais hand over Porter's heart. "It's just . bad shake-up. Mikes coming, and we'll soon get him home. He'll be all right, Miss Allis--he'n be all right" he kept muttering, in dazed manner, as he raised .her fathers head to his knee.
 Take Lucretia and gallop for the docthor. Miss Allis,' commanded Mike, coming up on the run. We'll get yer father home in the buggy"
 .sIn Gods mercy, don't let him die, Mike," and bending down she pressed her lips to the cold forehead that was driven full of sand Get him home quick, and try not to let mother see. I'll take Lausanne"
 Lauzanne had followed her and was standing waiting; his big eyes full of a curious wonderment. Mike lifted Allis to the saddle As he drew back his hand he looked at it, then up at the girl. Don't cry, Miss" he said. strug- gling a little with is voice that was playing him tricks; "yer fathers just stunned a bit. The dochtor'n brace him up. all right" a~% -&
 It's bad business, this." he continu- he'd, as Allis galloped on her errand, and he helped Garter lift the injured man. There, that's roight; jist carry his legs: I'll take him under the back. !"
 What broke the rein 2" he asked of Garter as they neared the buggy; what started thim goin'?'
 Somebody was in the old stand" Car ter replied, as putting his foot on the step he raised himself and the dead weight of the limp man.
 There, steady, Ned. Pull the cush- ion down in the bottom. Now we've got it. Bot t'umbs! it's as good as an am- bulance. I'll hold his head in me lap. an ye drive. Here.

 When they had turned into the road he spoke again to Carter. "Ye were sayin'. Ned, there was guy in the ould stan'" ...
 "Yes," replied Carter; somebody was toutin' us off. A board broke. an that frightened the boss mount"
 "I fought see by skinnin' off the track" commented Gaynor. First I fought it was Shandy, but what'd he be doin' there? Did ye see his face, Ned ?" ! T was too busy takin' 8 wrap on Lu- cretia; she was gettin' a bit out of hand" :" | Mrs. Porter saw the slow-moving con- veyance crawling up the broad drive, and instinctively felt that again omething terrible had occurred. That Allis was not there added to her fear.
 Her face was white, and in her eyes was the horror of a great fear, but from her lips came no cry: her silence was more dreadful than if she had called out.

 Let me help." pleaded Mrs. Porter, speaking for the first time.
 "We1l carry him, Misses-he's just stunned" repeated Mike in a dreary monotone. He and Garter bore the still senseless form into the house, The wife had got one of the battered hands be- tween her own, and was walking with wide, dry. staring eyes close to her hus- band.
 "Oh, John, John! speak to me. Open your eyes and look at me. You're not dead; o God; you're not dead!" she cried, passionately, breaking down. and g pent-up flood of tears coming to the hot, dry eyes as the two men laid Por- ter on the bed that Cynthia had made ready.

 The seriousness of Porter's accident became clearer to pr. Rathbone the fol- lowing day. He imparted this informa- tion to Allis; told her that in all proba- bility it would be weeks before her fath CT would be strong again.
 "In the meantime, little woman, what are you going to do with these hun- gry horses on your hands ?" he asked.
 The girls answer came quickly enough, for she had lain awake through all the dreary night, thinking out this prob 'em.
 "I'H look after them," she answered the doctor, quite simply. -,,
 A smile of skepticism hovered about his full lipss as he raised his eyes to the girls face, but the look of determi- nation, of confidence that he met put his doubts to flight. *I believe you can do it, if any man can," and he put his big hand on her slight shoulders. as much as to say: I'm behind youj I be- ieve in you"
 The first thing to be done was to get rid of Diablo. Mrs. Porter was too gentle to ask that he be shot, but he must go, even If he be given away. She would willingly have sacrificed all the horses. Always with their presence had come financial troubles, spiritual troubles; now the lives of those dear to her were in actual peril.
 Tn her depression she somewhat start led Allis by insisting that they must send for MT. Crane at once. After all 1t was not so unreasonable; with the master of Ringwood helpless, who else could they consult with over their en- tangled condition? For the past year Porter had found 1t necessary to keep in constant touch with the bank; so they must become familiar with the with the details of the entanglement.
 Mrs. Porter had come to have the ut most confidence in Cranes friendship and ability; he was the one above all others to have Diablo taken off their hands. So Philip Crane, to his intense delight, was summoned to Ringwood.
 The matter of Diablo was settled in a minute; he would buy the horse him. self, and the price could be arranged when Mrs. Porter was able to disucss the matter; in the meantime he would pay B thousand for him. He understood Porter had bought him for that price. With touch of kindly humor. Crane declared that he would have small bet on the horse for AIlis the first time he started. ~s.s

 After Dr. Rathbone had left Mike and Carter went down to the stables.
 "I'll jest have look at that broke rein," said Gaynor; that sthrap was strong enough to hang Diablo. If fthere's not some dirty business in this, I'll eat me hat. T'umbs upl but it was gallop, though. The black kin move whin he wants to-"
 But what do you think of old Lauz- amer" exclaimed Carter. "He just wore Diablo down, hung to him like bull dog, an beat him out"
 "It was the girls ridin'; an Lauz- anne was feared, too. He's chicken hearted; that's what he is. Some day in a race he'll get away in front av his horses, an beat 'em by the length av street, He'll be hun'red to wan. an nobody'll have 8 penny on"

First Snow I'm Four Years,

he cried, exuItantly. as the strong see, misses, he's all roight; he's jest stunned; that's all. There's the dochtor now God bless the little woman! She wasn't long!" '1 The sound of wheels crunching the gravel, with sudden stop at the porch, had come to their ears.
 Come out ay the room, ma am" Mike besought Mrs. Porter; ''come out av the room, and lave the dochtor bring the boss round" --. .. .' 7
 "Ah, fall, eh," commented Dr. Rath- bone, cheerily, coming briskly into the room. Then he caught Mikes eye: it closed deliberately, and the Irishman' s head tipped never so slightly toward Mrs. Porter. e"-
 "Now. clear the room,' as they say in court" continued the doctor. with a smile, understanding Mikes signal. We mustn't have people about to agitate Porter when he comes to his senses. Perhaps you'd better wait, too. Gay nor. Just take care of yoar mother, Miss Allis. I'll have your father about
 
 in jify."
 It seemed a million years to the wife that she waited for the doctors out coming. Twice she cried in anguish to Allis that she must go in; must see her husband "He may die," she pleaded, 'and I may never see his eyes again" Once Mike came out and said |: He's jest stunned, ma'am. The doc thor says he'll be all roight by an bv'' These was another long wait, then pr Rathbone appeared.
 "Porter will be all right, madam. it'll take time; it'll take time-and nursing But you're getting used to that" he added, with smile, but" and hs looked fixedly at Allis, he must have quiet; excitement will do more harm than the fall.''

THE wICKEDNEss OF WORRY.

b Worry is one of the worst curses of modern
life. | say of modern life, not because people a
thousand years ago did not worry, because as civil
ization advances smen Become more highly strung,
more sensitive, and less capable of detachment
Thus, we often say, in very expressive phrase,
that thing t'gets upon nerves." Something
distressing happens to us, and we cannot shake it
off. Some one treats us rudely, harshly, or nn-
kindly and the word or deed rankles in minds
We think it over till it is magnified into grievous
and intentional insult We take it to bed with us,
and is the light put out than begin to
recall it, and turn in minds all the circum-
stances that occasioned it. We sleep fevershly,
haunted all the time with the sense of something
disagreeable. We wake, and the accursed thing is
still ranking in minds. This is form of
worry, which is very common among people of SEN
sitive minds.
Another form of worry is the tendency to
brood over past errors. The business man, the
public man, is suddenly overwhelmed with the con-
viction that he has made awful mess If things.
The worst of all caamities is the lack of energy to
grapple with calamity, and in most cases it is worry
that breaks down mans energy.
A third, and perhaps more common form of
worry, is the gloomy anticipation of future calami-
ties. There who, however happy
they may be to-day, are perpetually frightening
themselves with the possibilities of disastrous to-
morrow. They live in terror. When actual sor-
row comes upon us, most of us discover unexpected
resources of fortitude in ourselves But nothing
sckens the heart much as imagined sorrow OF
this form of worry we may well say, s'1t's wick
clip
l have doubt that most of my readers know
by experience what some of these things mean No
doubt also many of them have many real causes for
anxious thought, and they will ask me how pro-
pose to deal with it, One of the best ways is to be
content to live day at time. Sydney Smith
counsels us with rich wisdom to take short views of
life. Each day is an entity in itself. 1t is rounded
off by the gulf of sleep; it has its hours which
will never return; it stands separate, with its
opportunities and pleasures. Make the most of
them.
Another good and simple rule is never to take
our griefs to bed with us. s'Easy to say, but how
difficult to do, will be replied But it is largely
matter of will and habit.
John Wesley once said that he would soon
steal as worry, for each was equally sin. To worry
is wasteful and foolish; we have also to recollect
that it is wicked.

To Prove His Airshlp a Success.

TO demonstrate that he has solved
the problem of air navigation, Capt.
Thomas S. Baldwin, inventor of the
airship Arrow, whose success at the
st. Louis Fair attracted the attention
of the entire world, is going TO New
York in the spring to make series
of spectacular flights. He proposes
to fly from Coney Island to the Jersey
shore, from the Battery to Harlem
and return, from New York over
Staten Island and return, across the
East and North rivers, and finally, to
prove how thoroughly he can control
his steed of the air, over and under
both East River bridges.
Captain Baldwin says, "The day
will come when a man will ask for
his wings as he now asks for his
shoes. Within the coming year the
pace will be set so fast in the naviga-
ton of the air that all will see its per-
ct practicability. They will realize
that the problem of the ages has been
solved.
''1n few years there will be great
numbers of airships. In the expert
mental period many accidents will
occur. They will be reduced as time
goes on. Then will come the period
when sailing in the air will be as
/ simple and as safe as travel on land.
"People have always dreamed of
flying. Now at last we are near this
great conquest of the air. We have
advanced far enough to be sure of it,.
1t is victory greater than the a.
chievements that have made travel
easy and speedy on and under the
land and on and under the sea.
"Will the perfected airship be the
dirigihle balloon or the aeroplane? 1
believe both. The keel. / lacked
proper power to operate it, and it
was failure. Since then the de-
mands of the automobile have advan-
ced the building of small, strong and
speedy engines. But in these en-
gines economy of space, not of
weight, has been the aim. For auto
mobiles they are made for rough use
in inexperienced hands. For the air.
ship the man who has got the speedy
and light engine will win out"

THE SWORD.

Queer stories of desperate assaults upon the de-
fenses of Port Arthur by bodies of 'rained swords
men" under the personal leadership of two gener-
ais, come by way of Toxic. The swordsmen are
they actually engaged in bloody hand to hand COM
bat with the defenders. One version represents
them as penetrating to a Russian camp, presumably
within the circle of forts and there fighting at close
quarters, with results undetermined at the moment
of the sending of the dispatch, which must have
been wireless, if genuine.
This return to the heroic warfare of another
age is startling
1t is certainly astonishing, but not altogether
inconceivabe, that the desperate valor of the Japan
ese which seems equal to any sacrifice, should have
brought them to try the swordsmanshp, for which
they used to be so famous against the magazine
guns, hand-grenades and Mauser pistols, with which
they have made such close acquaintance
The Japs have shown themselves so thorough
ly up to date in their military methods, that it is
not easy to realize that they have Just stepped from
the age of feudasm which for lies in the remote
past. Within the memory of men who not old,
Japan had feudal lords with armed retainers lying
in fortified ancestral homes and jealous of their ex
elusive right to bear the sword. These men and
their children have loyalty submitted to the new
order of things, but they quite naturally retain
their class pride and the traditions which would
nerve them to deeds of valor, as we'll as the skill
with the sword for which they were famous. That
they would be eager to try the old weapon in close
encounter at Port Arthur, is quite likely, but fur
ther particulars will be awaited before the sword is
called back from the list of weapons little used as
to be almost obsolete
incidentally it may be noted that twenty thous-
and new sabres have just been ordered for the Unit
ed States cavalry, the supply of these weapons on
hand since the Civil war being pretty we'll exhaust
ed. Nevertheless, we do not expect to find our ex-
pert ritemen revolver shots outclassed by those
who are skillfu with the sabre, that weapon being
ratained merely for the contingencies of close
encounter without ammunition, time for its
USE
