we'll keep . steady grip!" the girl cried into Hartigans ear.
 She was right. The strain soon be- gan to tell on the runaways. One of them let the bit slide back into its mouth and broke from a run into heavy gallOp. This checked the speed of the other three. Hartigan now pulled on the reins with renewed strength, and in 200 feet every horse was going at trot. In another hun dred they were brought to a stand still just in front of slippery curve.
 Hartigan, leaving the lines in Es- ther's hands, leaped out of the sleigh, ran forward, and grasped the bits. The animals were trembling violently, as horses often do after they have run of with vehicle behind them. He let them stand for . few minutes until some of the nervousness had worn of. Then, with the help of the other men in the sleigh he turned them around.
 At this moment the driver, panting for breath and covered with snow. came running up. He was overjoyed at finding nobody killed or injured Esther and Hartigan were almost overcome by expressions of admira- tion for their presence of mind and quick action. But Hartigan knew that their success in stopping the horses was due to the girl, and he felt peculiar joy in giving all the credit to her.
 "She just told me what to do." he her some Of us now might be en route to the hospital!"
 Miss Maltney, who had sprained her ankle in the leap into the back of the sleigh, was taken home first Hartigan and Esther were then left at the Chapman house, whose large windows gleamed through the snow- laden branches. On the steps of the big veranda Hartigan stopped.

 What is that?" she asked.

 The girls eyes gleamed. "I think I understand" she answered, quietly, land I am so glad" But there's one thing about 1t all that troubles me-" drowned Hartigan 'T wish more than anything else that my heroine would live out the last chapter in real lifei"
 What does she do in the last chap ter?" ventured Esther
 Why, my dear girl, as the story isn't an Ibsen tragedy, she finally weds the fellow who loves her. Would you, dear-?"
 But at that moment a considerate man in the moon yelled his face with cloud.
