off his horse. The lilly, relieved of his
weight, flew on ahead, shied as she saw

oblque jump cleared the barbed wire at

SPUR R-THRUST.
BY KENNETH BROWN

THROUGH the half open door,
Donald Michener heard her
plainly speaking to her father:
will you tell Mr.. Michener
that I do not care to see him, and that
| do not care to have him call on me
again"
But, Christine" her father protested
doubtfully, 81 can't carry a message like
that unless the mans insulted you-and
then," he ended grimly, Il should carry
more than a message"
AS Michener appeared in the doorway
Mr.. Laing started toward him. 1t was
from her father Christine got her tenn
per- but she stepped resolutely between
them. 'Fle isn't worth it, father" she
said, turning her back OH Michencr.
Michener was sorry. He walked out
of the room in such cold rage, muir
der would not have abated it. When
the primal man is accused he would as
lief fight his host in his own house as
any one else. Rage and modification
so filled his heart that he had no room
for grief, though he had lost the girl
he had tried long to win. And the in
justice of it For it was unjust, the
measure of punishment meted out to him
The next day Christine went riding
with Kerningham. She was in bad
humor. She was angry with herself for
the way she had treated Donald Mich
ener; she was more angry at him, be-
cause of the way she had treated him ;
and she was most angry at Kerningham
for daring to ride beside her in Mich
erer's place and to put in his SNUG re-
marks when she was not in the humor
for SNUG remarks. In passing it may
be said that an unprej JUDGED person
would not have called Kerninghams re-
marks any smugger than Micheners. In
deed, they were probably the more SEN
Sible of the two, at least when talking
to Christine Unfortunately, no preju-
diced person was judge, and Mr. Kern
ingham's sentence was all ready to be
pronounced should a suitable occasion
arise. But no suitable occasion arose
Christine sulked; Christine was sarcas-
tic; Christine was rude Kerningham
was imperturbably polite and good
natured.
Are you tired to-day?" Kerningham
asked, after an unusually snappish speech
of the lady's.
Riding never makes me tired" she
answered curtly.
1t might be the company" he ven
tured.
Haven't been perfectly polite? How
dare you say that?"
Il thought perhaps the contrast be-
tween your humble servant and your US
ual cavalier might have something to do
with it." he went on placidly.
q suppose you mean Mr.. Michener
certainly am not longing for him. | hate
him" she blazed. Il shall never speak
to him againp
Indeed He is more fortunate than
I had supposed"
1t was Kerningham's one reprisal of
the afternoon.
ooh, I'm tired of riding so slowly p
Christine cried.
Let us ride faster, then"
Almost at the first word Christine
thrust her spur into her horses side, and
at the last Kerningham slapped his horse
with his crop to try to catch up with
her. 1t was not very dignifed, this tear

horse, which had scrambled to his feet
and stood trembling like leaf.
Kerningham came up, saving on his
rens, his horse bouncing along with stiff
forelegs stuck out to stop himself.
Wasn't it great2' Christine cried,
half laughing, half sobbing. Il was spur
ring my horse all the time Mr.. Michener
was tugging at his head"
The next day Michener was sitting in
his office, still feeling the lassitude that
comes after great excitement, when Mr.
Laing came in. Both flushed a little, re-
mcmbering their last interview, and the
younger man interrupted the others
words of gratitude before they were half
spoken. oh, it wasn't anything" he
said, with embarrassment. Il really
didn't know it was Miss Laing at first"
The words did not sound gracious, but
Michener only wanted to make Mr..
Laing feel under as little obligation TO
him as possible. They talked for a few
minutes on indifferent subjects, and then
Mr.. Laing said, after an apologize
cough:
There's a favor want to ask of you
Christine wants you to come up to din
ner tomorrow night"
IF you don't mind really don't be-
lieve I'll come" Michener answered.
"She wouldn't have wanted me before
before this little episode, and it really
isn't any reason for asking me-"
81 know exactly how you feel" Mr..
Laing said. "But-but-to tell you the
TRUTH" he went on, little helplessly,
Christine told me not to come home
without your promise to come, and |
really haven't the nerve to go back with
out it. You wouldn't like to make me a
homeless wanderer at my age, would
you?"
Michener laughed. IF you put it that
way | can hardly refuse" Having saved
Christines life, he could hardly deny her
favor.
Michener dressed for the dinner that
night without any pleasurable anticipa-
ton. He still had the apathetic feeling
that follows great physical and mental
strain. He was rather surprised when he
arrived at the Laing's house to find that
number of other persons had been
asked, and comforted himself with the
thought that there would perhaps be less
embarrassment in the larger number. To
his considerable annoyance, his exploit
was generally referred to, although
Christine herself did not speak of it.
"My how grand it is to know a
hero!" little Miss King cried, rushing up
to him after he had moved away from
Christine. "Was that really all true they
put in the paper?"
Christine came up to them. "You are
to take me into dinner" she said to
Michener, "unless you think you've more
than done your duty by me already and
would rather take Miss King"
NO." piped Miss King. "The poor
man shan't be obliged to snub me- Mr.
Kerningham, you take me in-since
can't have the hero"
Kerningham sat on Christine's left, and

Micllener smiled.

Michener smiled.
What arc you laughing at'" she askct
with some pique.
Its an unusual way for lady to adj
dress a gentleman, isn't it?'
"The circumstances weren't usual,
she answered, again looking down.
There was a little pause in the genera
conversation, and Christine turned II
Kerningham on the other side.
Have you bought yourself swifte
horse yet, so that you can do heroics
too?" she asked, trace of mockery il
her tone.
Miss LANG has just been con6dinl
to me-" Michener put in, that she mad
her horse run away on purpose. Doubt
less she'll give all her friends a chanc,
to get in the papers, one after The
other"
1T really was your chance yesterday
Mr.. Kcrningham," Christine said gaily
Il don't know that you deserve an

that one quite unfairly" he pleaded.
You'll have to look out for him; he's
a regular bandersnatch. And now tha
he's got into the papers, l expect he
won't do a thing but roam around seek
ing what maidens he may devour-l
mean, rescue
As the hum of conversation rose again
Christine, her head half turned toward
him, said to Michener-he sitting by her
with the feeling that she was always ridi-
culing him" Shall | apologize for the
way I spoke to you the other day.
Il wouldn't have you trouble yourself
So" he answered, rather ungraciously.
She flushed scarlet. q beg your par
don! Next time you see my horse run
ming away you can let him 60"
Very well.' Then, half smiling, he
added: "Uness [ venture to persuade
myself that it is another invitation to
converse with you"
I'm sorry | told you that" she said
dehantly. 81 thought imagined"
she softened a little-"that you would
meet me half way"
He looked down into her eyes, forget
ting the Others at the table, though in
stinctively speaking so that she alone
could hear. Don't you think you de-
serve to come a little more than half
way"
Shall I come all the way?" The cor
ner of her lips went up into smile.
NIchener smiled, too, without an
swerlng.
Suddenly Christine rose to her feet,
her guests looking up in surprise. Ia
dies and gentlemen" she began formally
you know you were asked here tonight
to meet a hero whose courage is ex-
ceeded only by his modesty"
Again the mocking note in her voice
made Michener's cheeks burn with re-
sentiment.
After slight oratorical pause she con-
tinued: "You have all read the details
of his noble act in the paper, and YOU
may appreciate them the more by learn

ing along the road at a breakneck speed,
particularly with the girl two lengths
ahead, her horse showering him with
gravel and dirt at every jump and gradu-
ally drawing farther away. Kerningham
sworc little swear TO himself which,
considering his good nature all through
the ride, was no more than his due, and
cracked his horse again with his crop.
Michener, out riding by himself, heard
the rataplan of horses hoofs far down
the road and looked back. His ride had
not been a pleasant one either. He was
on a half-broken thoroughbred and his
temper was not in the elastic state that
it should have been for training high
strung hlly.
At the sound of horses running be
hind him, Michener looked around and
saw a girl on black horse flying up
the street, her escort tearing along be
hind her.
AS the running black came abreast of
Michener his heart seemed to stop still
for a moment as he saw that the girl
was Christine. Then he froze into re
sentiment again as he noticed that she
sat perfectly collcctedly on the horse
and appealed to him in no way. As a
matter of fact, she had not in the least
lost control of her horse and was only
working off her temper in this way.
Michener's thoroughbred with her
long stride, easily kept pace with the clat-
tering run of the round little black Chris
tine was on.
Il beg your pardon" Michener said,
as stifiy as the circumstances permitted,
but is your horse running away" He
tried to raise his hat formally, but it
blew off before he reached the brim.
Christine gave him a side-glance.
"Yes," she answered; stop him for
me-"
She dropped the reins and dug her
spur into her horses flank, prodding him
viciously.
The horse sprang more madly for
ward.
Michener was obliged to spur his own
mare to keep up with the others sudden
Jump. Then he had to use both hands
to keep his flly, her racing blood ahre,
from running away from Christines poor
little conestoga. He soon had his hand
on Christine's reins, however and strove,
first by steady pulling, and then by jerk
ing, to slow her horse down, at the same
time trying with his right hand to re
strain his own flly SO that she would act
as drag on the other.
Suddenly, as the two leaders swept
around a slight bend in the road, they
saw beneath a railroad trestle three hun
dred yards ahead, two four-horse teams,
stopped for friendly chat, completely
blocking the road. Both riders realized
the danger instantly. Christine reached
for the reins she had dropped and began
saving her horses mouth as hard as she
could but she was little frightened and
forgot to take her spur from the blacks
flank. Michener glanced at the two sides
of the road. There was barbed wire on
the right, and paling fence on the left
no escape on either side and the de
liberate teamsters only gathering up their
reins to move out of the way.
Michener moved his left hand up the
reins of Christine's horse till he got a
firm hold of the rings of the snafflc
Then kicking his feet out of his stirrups
he dropped his own reins, leaned over

cob and surveying the bay the other
day. "when you see a thunder storm
rising you want to keep an eye on the
lightning. If you see it In the distance
striking down farther and farther to
the right from where You first saw 1t or
farther and farther to the left, this in
dicates that the storm is working to
the right or to the left, and it may
pass around you. But if you see it all

brighter and brighter, why. that fndi-

Hours of sIeep.

The belief that the hours of sleep
should be artifcially restricted is con-
trary to ordinary good sense. If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbullding of Its tissues 1t will not
call for it. A rule of health which can
not be wrong Is to sleep If possible as
long as any inclination for 1t exists
The erroneous view on this subject Is
undoubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly rest
ed 1t Is often difficult to arouse the
mind from Its comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand, the man who is
under a mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But 1t Is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
at a high tension. He is on edge, so to
speak Such strain long continued
results inevitably in a nervous break
down.-Cleveiand Leader.
