Tom Neville's love to scorn something
of the worlds brightness had faded,
and yet she told herself every hour.
every minute, that she did not care for
him. nor for amy man. She rode on
and on, needless of the coming night.
Over in the silent west big. black
clouds were gathering. and lightning
danced across the sky.
But Violet was too deep i'm her
thoughts to notice these things. And
presently the storm burst upon her
with all its fury.
AT the first drop of rain She turned
to go home, but the terrific flash of
lightning, accompanied by a deafening
burst of thunder. broke down from the.
lnky heavens. and a towering tree fell
splintered and blasted. Immediately be-
hind her horse. The terrified beast,
mac with fright, dashed down the road,
at a wild gallop. Violet tugged at the.
reins till her little hands were purple
and swollen. but to no purpose. On
went the horse. faster and faster.
Turning another short curve i'm the
road She saw another large tree lying.
directly across her path. Then she
knew her fate. She had often heard
of frightened horses running headlonet
into stone walls. and she knew her
horse would not stop till he had hurled.
