two years. He was too frightened, or too
astonished to scream; but as his great, scared
eyes caught sight of Aunt Chally and Mira
he held out his little hand to them In silent
appeal.
"Whoa! Whoa!" screamed Aunt Chally,
Tapping herr apron and waving her sun-bon-
net in front of the running horse, and then
getting out of the way and hurrylng through
the gate.
Mira did not scream and she did not run
away Those little outstretched hands had
steadied her nerves and cleared her brain
wonderfully.
She had no time to waste in fussy excite
ment for she was going to save that child,
and the first thing to do was to run straight
for the horses head.
This she did.
"Mira Mira Come back here! You'll get
run overt" cried Aunt Chally, fairly dancing
in her terror.
But Mira was not run over. She was per-
fecty cool, and knew that to get in front OF
the horse would be as useless as it would be
dangerous She ran beside him, thinking to
catch hold of his bride and stop him by
throwing her weight backward upon it.
She was not quick enough to do this, how
ever, even if she had been strong enough; and
she had barely time to spring back out of
the way of the wheels as the wagon passed
her.
There was only one other thing to do, and
that was to get into the wagon and pull on
the reins
She seized the back of the rattling vehicle
and was nearly thrown off her feet by the
Jerk. But she held on, and, after running a
few steps, managed to climb in behind, as
the boys say.
She was afraid the child would be thrown
out before she could get to him, the wagon
jumped and swayed SO as the wheels struck
the stones. In a moment she had clambered
over the back of the seat beside the little fel-
low. and then, holding his arm with grasp
that must have hurt him, she looked for the
AZ last she saw them, and for an instant
all hope left her. They we're dragging on the
ground beside the wagon, and completely out
If only the end of one of them had re-
mained within reach, she might have stopped
The horse by pulling him to the fence at one
side OF the road but the two ends were
huckled together, and the long leather loon
ran writhing along the ground like new kind
Now what was to be done? Get the child
out at the back of the wagon somehow, and
be quick about it.
lust below them the road turned off and
ran parallel with the river; but the horse
was too madly excited now to follow the
road. He would keep straight on, probably
and so go over the edge of High Rock into t5e
water, fifty feet below.
By this time the two men had been left
far behind, but Mira saw Aunt Chally run.

not very far off
The girl climbed over the back of the seat
again; and tried to lift the little boy over.
some freak of terror, the child refused TO
come, and struggled and kicked so that he
nearly ary threw them both out.
.rrt Rome, baby; come, Mira pleaded;
There! | knew he wouldn't turn Wen
pc, off High Rock in minute Do come,
baby! There's that COW of Braxley's
again."
| Truly, there was the cow. With her head
down and her tail high in the air, she was
rushing along to meet the runaway horse of
her owner
She apparently had it in her mind to plunge
full against the horse, with consequences that
must have been terrible for both. But she
caught sight of the Trailing reins, and changed
her purpose.
Swerving little to one side she made
caught fairly on her horns, and with tre-
mendous jerk, the COW pulled back upon her
launches. There she sat, bolt upright, bel
lowing furiously with indignant astonishment.
The horse stopped in his tracks in sheer
amazement at such an interruption
Before he had time to start again, Mira
seized the child, and, in spite of his strug-
giles, sprang out of the wagon with him. Not
too soon; for as they touched the ground, the
horse jumped forward again, and the cow
was jerked over upon her back.
She stopped believing, and, for the first
time in her history, stayed where she was
put; for the poor beast was dead with a
broken neck.
But the reins were loose now, and another
plunge would carry the horse over the cliff
into the river, where they would all have
been now but for that one instant's Interrupt
ton.
The horse did not take that final plunge
Mira's hand on his bride prevented him.
For the moment she felt strong enough to
lift him off his feet. She pulled him around
toward the road, and very shortly had him
under complete control; for Dobbn was old,
and not used to independence.
care you hurt, Mira?" The question was
painted out by Aunt Chally, as she threw her
arms around her pale and now trembling
niece. "Oh, you naughty boy! What made
you whip the horse? Mira, there isn't any
body else in this village that would have
done what you've done. / didn't believe any
body would ever put stop to that COW of
Braxley's. Well no; you didn't exactly do
that, it's true 1t took a runaway horse to
break her neck. But, you've done mighty
we'll, Mira"
AS they were going up the hill, they met
the two running men.
"Moses Braxley" said Mrs Burrus "there's
your horse, and there's your COW, down yon-
der I'm glad your horse isn't dead, and I'm

Aunt Chally hurried excitedly to the field
OF battle. Her niece took rather more time,
for, to tell the truth, the city girl was lit,
tie afraid of cows.

anybody else in the village could escape, how

constant round OF undesired visitngs Re

Mira thought, as she stood on the doorstep
while Aunt Chally prepared for the skirmish,
that she had never seen anything so totally
depraved as that COW.
In the first place, the animal had but one
eye. What she must have been capable of
when she had two nobody could Imagine
She had the usual number Of horns, and fhey
were terrible in length, breadth and sharp
pointedness. Every rib in her body showed
sharply through her red-and-white skin. so
that she seemed to have been hooped Nv n
cooper who did not understand his business
But the expression Of her face was the worst
thing about her-it was so wickedly free
and-easy.
Come Mira called Aunt Chally: "vou
go and open the front gate while I've cot her
headed towards, y and then you stand at
the corner of the house, SOS she won't run
past that way"
Mira fastened the gate open, but, as she
approached the corner of the house the cow
uttered a below and made a complicated
movement, half jump and half dive, which
caused Aunt Chally and her niece both to run
for the doorstep as if life depended on get
ting there.
"Shut that front door" cried Aunt Cballv
"She'll be in the sitting-room, sure's Christ
mas, if you don't"
But already the COW had changed her
mind, and was calmly munching at the honey.

built a new store, "Did it with his

everything he did during life, and
when he died and his widow put up
monument with his life Insurance,
Her money paid for that, was said

really went for. During engagement
she bought herself $3.50 piano and a
