CHAPTER FIVE.
The Runaway.


Three years elapsed before Jessie
Garden returned to the Bishop farm.
John Burt was now twenty years old,
and had successfully passed the ex-
animation which admitted him to
Harvard General Garden came with
Jessie, delighted with the prospect of
weeks rest in the old house.
General Garden was an enthusiast
tic horseman. Jessie was still UNI
packing her trunks when her father
sent word that the carriage was
ready, and that she was to drive with
him. A few minutes later they were
speeding down the old beach road.
They drove for miles along the wind
ing, shaded roads. The breeze came
cool and salt from the ocean, and the
air was fragrant with the breath Of
summer.
A bit of the harness had become
unbuckled. Handing the reins TO Jes-
sic, General Garden stepped to the
ground to adjust it. His feet had
hardly touched the ground when a
prowling hunter, few rods away,
discharged a gun. The report. was
terrifying, and the affrighted horses
leaped ahead Jessie was thrown vi
olently backward, the lines slipping
from her hands. General Garden
sprang for the horses heads-an in
slant too late. He caught one
glimpse of his daughters white face
as she swept past him. The agony
of years was compressed into the
succeeding moments.
The frenzied team dashed down the
steep grade at appalling speed At
the base of the hill. and almost in
front of the Burt farmhouse, was a
sharp curve. Then the road skirted

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,
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
young man. Blood was trucking
down his face and he lay in the dust
of the road, limp and deathlike. His
right hand still grasped the bit; his
head was near the hoofs of the fran
tic animal.
Hold that horses head down." or
dered the old man. General Garden
threw his weight on the beasts neck.
Jessie was lowering near, wringing
her hands in pity and excitement.
when | lift that horse will you
drag my boys leg from under?'
Eyes, sir; oh, hurry, sir"
Crouching down, Peter Burt threw
the head of the dead animal across
his shoulder. He grasped the trace
with one hand and the foreleg with
the other. In his prime he had raised
twelve hundred pounds, dead weight
With heave of his massive should
ers he raised the forward part of the
horse clean from the ground, and Jes-
sic quickly released the pinioned
limb of the motionless young man.
The old man gathered the body in
his arms, and carried it to a grass
plot by the side of the road. He rest
ed his gray head for moment on the
young mans chest, and heard the
faint flutter of the heart. In accents
which thrilled Jessie Garden he ex-
claimed:
"He lives! He lives! Praise God,
my boy is not dead"
At that moment Jasper appeared
and was dispatched for DR.. Randall.
General Garden cut the traces, and
the uninjured horse regained his feet.
Mrs. Jasper brought basin of water,
and when General Garden joined the
silent group Jessie was washing the

You'd lay a crooked hill, lined with
ragged rocks-the most dangerous
slope for miles around
Through the cloud of dust the old
soldier saw the team as it passed the
old house. A few rods beyond, a man
lightly yaulted a fence and darfed
towards the road. General Gardens
eyes were blurred, but he saw a
flash of blue and white, as II some
thing had been hurled in front of the
maddened team. 1t chung to the head
of the off horse, and was tossed back
and forth by the frantic animal. For
an instant the figure seemed beneath
the hammering hoofs. Could any
human being hold fast in such po-
sition.
At the turn in the road the general
distinctly saw a man clinging to the
horses bits, bruised by the swaying
pole-a pigmy who dared check the
flight of giants. They swerved
sharply at the curve. The off horse
stumbled, lurched sideways and fell.
There was a crash; the sickening
sound of splintered wood and clinking
steel; then silence, as the dust lift
ed and revealed the jagged outlines
OF a mass of wreckage.
AS General Garden neared the fate
full spot he saw an old man run from
the Burt yard and plunge into the
wreck. A moment later he saw some
thing in the rescuers hands. A
crumpled blue hat above dark curls
showed plain in contrast to the white
hair of the aged giant, who handled
the little figure as if it were feath-
er, laid it gently by the side of the
road and again darted into the twist
ed mass.
General Garden breathed a silent
prayer. He was few rods away
when Jessie moved slowly, lifted her
head and sprang to her feet.
I'm not hurt, papa" she exclaimed
bravely. 81 am not hurt bit. Oh,
what has happened?"
Thank God! Thank God!" He

Cultivate the Memory.

Many people complain of having
poor memory, and yet that faculty can
be developed as easily as can the
biceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to
go to any professor Of memory or to
master any elaborate system in order
to accomplish this result. One does
not have to go to a gymnasium to
strengthen the arm or back. Chopping
wood or rowing boat will do it.
Similarly, memory may be cultivated
by an effort and mid ordinary pur-
suits

the chin, and the next instant Jim
clenched and both fell eight feet into
the water
The pool was deep, and it seemed
to Jim as if they never would come
to the surface. When he did, and had
gasped for breath, pair of strong
hands gripped his neck and he went
down again. The water sang in his
ears, the world grew black around
him. Then it suddenly became light.
The cool and splendid air filled his
nostrils, and a voice sounded in his
ears:
Say enough or down you go

A week later John met Jim and
was told of fogging he had re-
ceived from his father, who was no.
torious as the village drunkard.
Thereupon developed in John Burt
and James Blake that strong friend
ship so frequent between boys of con-
trasting natures. They seemed to
have only two traits in common
both were frank and both generous.
When Jim Blake was seventeen
years old, he decided to run away
from home. The two boys talked it
over many times. To the scanty
hoard in Jim's possession John Burt
added thirty-fiye dollars-all the
money he had saved from sums Civ

handsome eyes, Jim Blake shook
hands with John Burt and went out
INTO the world to seek his fortune.

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
tory and legend. From that point
their ancestors watched the Chesa-
peake as she sailed proudly out to
fight the Shannon; there they had
wept when they learned that the
brave Lawrence had gone to his death
shouting encouragement to his crew.
Thence Captain John Smith first
sighted the harbor. The red warriors
of King Philip camped where they
