1t had left the road hard to get over.
Baylies was obliged to trust to his
horse, whose eyes were far better than
his masters. but the brute seemed to
have difficulty In keeping the road. AT
any rate, he was constantly houndering
in some bog beside 1t. Baylies encour-

7be Times Daily Short Story.

There was but one course for him-tc
go forward. One thing arrested his
attention-his horse was painting, not
as though he had stood waiting for bis
master to come to himself, bur as
though he had been galloping and had
Just stopped. But there was no time
for speculation. Mounting, BayIles
spurred onward and In half an hour
pulled up at the doctors door. A maid
opened 1t and. recognizing Baylies as
one Of her masters patients, looked at
him surprised.
1.-THE doctor" he gasped. rs he at

Hes gone to your house, sir
MY house? Then they have sent
some one else for him?'
Yes, sir; they must have
but there was no one to send"
HE was a gentleman. sir, and he
came on that horse. See the cut on his
fore leg2 1t Is bleeding yet"
DO you mean that you noticed this
horse and know him by that cut?'
Indeed I do, SIR
"Who rode him r.
"A tall, thin. pale gentleman with
sandy hair and side whiskers: and now
remember, on his finger was a queer
looking gold ring made like twined
strands.
Baylies' blood ran cold. His wife
before they were married had given

engagement with Baylies he had
begged permission to keep 1t, and she
had consented
Without q word Baylies turned and
rode back. Passing the cemetery, there
was the tombstone beneath which slept
the mortal part of the man he had
supplanted, the man whom be firmly
believed had taken up his message and
while he was unconscious carried it
on its way.
Baylies had hated his rival while he
lived, and since bis death had NOT
ceased to be jealous Of him. But now.
as he looked at the inanimate marble
that marked the grave of one from
whom he had taken all that made Iife
desirable, there rushed upon him
sense of the selfshness of man, the
beneficence Of immortality
On reaching home. he found the doe
tor working with bis wife, whom he
had succeeded in bringing out Of dan
ger.
why did you not wait for the doe
tor. dear?" asked Mrs Baylies, ..and
why have you been so long coming?'
Baylies stood looking from her to
the doctor without reply; then he asked
the latter:
"Did you see my messenger"
"No. he had gone before l came
down"
What messenger" asked the wife.

piled, "and could not get on for

With that he turned away and the
subject was dropped.
