But, Christine her father protested

horse, which had scrambled to his feet
and stood trembling like leaf.
Kerningham came up, saving on his
reins, his horse bouncing along with stiff
forelegs stuck out to stop himself.
Wasn't it great2' Christine cried,
half laughing, half sobbing. 81 was spur

was tugging at his head.
The next day Michener was sitting in

comes after great excitement, when Mr..
Laing came in. Both flushed a little, re-
membering their last interview, and the
younger man interrupted the others
words of gratitude before they we're half
spoken. oh, it wasn't anything" he
said, with embarrassment. II really
didn't know it was Miss LANG at first"
The words did not sound gracious, but
Kitchener 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
MIR, LANG said, after an apologize
cough:

| ing along the road at 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
swore 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.
Kitchener, 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 III the elastic state that
it should have been for training high
strung FLY,
At the sound of horses running be-
hind him, Kitchener 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 colectedly 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" Kitchener said,
as stiffly 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 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
lump. Then he had to use both hands
10 keep his illy, her racing blood afire,
rom running away from Christmas poor
little conestoga. He soon had his hand
IN Christmas reins, however, and strove,
lrst by steady pulling, and then by jerk
ng to slow her horse down, at the same
ime trying with his right hand to re-
train his own FLY so that she would act
Is drag on the other
Suddenly, as the two leaders swept
round a slight bend in the road, they
aw beneath a railroad trestle three hum
Ired yards ahead, two four-horse teams,
topped for friendly chat, completely
docking the road Both riders realized
he danger instantly Christine reached
or the reins she had dropped and began
awing her horses mouth as hard as she
ould, but she was a little frightened and
orgot to take her spur from the blacks
apk Kitchener glanced at the two sides
t the road. There was barbed wire on
he right, and paling fence on the left
no escape on either side, and the de
berate transfers only gathering up their
ems to move out of the way.
Michener moved his left hand up the !
ems of Christmas horse till he got n
RIM hold of the rings of the snafflc
hen kicking his feet out of his stirrups c
e dropped his own reins, leaned over
