Crouching down, Peter Burt threw
the head of the dead animal across

the other. In his prime he had raised
twelve hundred pounds, dead weight.
With heave of his massive should

horse clean from the ground, and Jes-

limb of the motionless young man.

Summer Days.


John Burt sprang into his saddle
with an ease that showed complete
recovery from the runaway accident,
and cantered to Jessie Gardens side.
They waved their hands gaily to Mrs.
Bishop, and galloped away under the
arching naples that formed an ave-
nue. before the old mansion. 1t was
Johns fourth visit since Jessie's ar
rival, and his suggestion of a ride to
Hull had been smilingly accepted.
An hour later they stood on the
heights above Point Allerton. Below,
the wide crescent of Nantasket Beach
swung to the south and east; within
it "crawled the wrinkled sea-" Every
foot of ground was hallowed by his.

their ancestors watched the Chesa-

caught Jessie in his arms, gaZed
fondly into her eyes, and tenderly
embraced her.
General Garden turned to the aid of
Peter Burt. Tangled in the harness,
a horse was plunging and struggling
in an attempt to regain his feet. The
other horse was dead, and beneath
his shoulder was pinioned the leg of
a young man. Blood was trucking
down his face, and he lay in the dust
of the road, limp and deathlike. His

head was near the hoofs Of the fran

sprang for the horses heads-an in

glimpse Of his daughters white face
as she swept past him. The agony
of years was compressed into the
succeeding moments.
