Horse, Doctor
And Girl

By FRANK H. SWEET
Copyrishs. 1904. by Frank H. Sweet

There was fash so binding that
Dr. Tom Howard closed his eyes and
the horse threw up his head with Il
whinny of terror, then almost instant
ly came a crash as of thousand can
non, which rolled across the mountains
III reverberation Of receding echoes.
After that all was as it had been be-
fore-inky black
DR.. Tom bent his face to avoid the
slant of rain, at the same time touch
ing the horses flank encouragingly
with his hand But they could go no
faster, as he knew, for the horse was
picking his way down the mountain
side step by step, with nose forward
as though smelling the way and with
ears alert for sounds that might indi-
cate their course.
Ahead We're patients who might be
needing him. to whom his coming
might be the difference between life
and death Henceforth his life must
be his work His patients were not to
be divided even with the girl he had
hoped to make his wife. At first he
had thought she would reconsider, re-
lent, but her sudden departure, with
out note or explanation, had meant it
was to be the end. He did not even
know to what part of the world she
had gone.
He had already been away from
home twenty-four hours on d journey
of forty miles into the mountains to
save q man who had been accidentally
shot. and now, against the advice of
hardy mountaineers, was forcing his
way back in the very teeth Of one Of
the fierce hill storms.
From time to time his hand went
back to pat the horses flank encour-
agingly, and at every contact Of the
hand the horse started forward little
more briskly in an effort to please him,
only to return almost instantly, how
ever, to the slow, cautious gait, as if
realizing that it was absolutely neces-
sary to their safety. Soon there came
another binding flash even as the
hand once more dropped upon the
flank, and DR.. Toms face blanched
little, for directly in front Of them was
a yaWning fssure.
After that for time he allowed the
horse to choose the way. with the reins
hanging loosely across his neck. The
horses nose and ears and instinct We're

safer than the mans Impotence. More
than once a lightning's flash revealed
black hole in front or to one side, with
jagged, precipit0us slopes rising or
falling beyond, but always under the
horses careful feet was firm footing,
sometimes q narrow shelf scarcely wild
er than was necessary for them to pass,
sometimes a declivity SO steep that
the animals launches almost touched
the rock as he picked his way down.
But the progress was slow, slow
criminaily slow it seemed to the impa-
tient doctor, who wanted to be at his
work
Presently from brief glimpses obtain
ed in the faslings he realized they
were swerving far out of their course,
and he caught up the reins with a
quick, determined grasp.
Obediently the horse turned back to.
ward the straight line, but few min
utes later, when another flash came, he
was heading in the old direction. Again
he was turned, sharply, and again he
went on in a straight course for a few

Again and again did Dr. Tom swing

often did the h8 Use swerye promptly.
go his own course. With the rain and
wind beating in his face, stumbling
over rough ground and sometimes
among trees where the branches al
most swept him from the saddle, Dr..
Tom could only Judge thei course by
the lightning. In the darkness the
horse lad his own way, and in the
darkness the horse persisted in choos-
ing the one which DR.. Tom believed to
be wrong. But apparently there was
no help for it, and at last, defeated,
he allowed the reins once more to hang
loosely upon the horses neck
Gradually above the roaring of the
storm there had been rising another

Tom drew quick breath, and his
