she did not have to go into Mysteries
TO show 1t, and that is an unusual
characteristic"
The following afternoon Allen
stopped his handsome pair of bays AZ
lsabelle's gate. and the couple vera
soon speeding on their way to the
great Rose farm. The horses were
fresh, and before the ten miles to
their destination were covered Allen
had another proof of his companions
fearlessness.
The railway cut through a deem
gully at one point of their route. and
as they neared the track sbriu
foot! Toot!" sounded from an an.
preaching train The whistle startled
the young horses, and together they
bolted down the hill. Allen tried his
best to check them. but failed; and
they flew across the track at such
close range that the engine almost
grazed the rear wheels.
Gradually Allen regained control Of
his team, and at the first possible in.
slant he turned to Isabelle. Her lips
were firmly set, but she haC not made
a sound, nor was there any look OF
terror on her face She met his gaze
and smiled.
You should be proud to own pair
of horses that can outrun a railroad
train" she observed quietly
Allen answered, Il am far prouder
to be honored with the friendship Of
such a brave woman" He spoke 50
feelingly that Isabelle FASTENED to
change the subject
"Oh see! The roses are coming in
sight on that next SLOPE" she informed
Allen with delight; and the mass Of
color was well worth their entire at
tention
On reaching the farm the young
people alighted and wandered through
the beautiful place Field after field
full of the most perfect roses, met
their admiring eyes, and the assistant
who went with them plucked for lisa
belle rose from each bush she
thought particularly lovely, until bis

They had just passed over the rail-

scattered broadcast on the roadside.
what has happened?" asked Allen
in real alarm" and utterly at loss
to account for the look of horror on
lsabelle's pale face.
"a big black spider!" she exclaimed
1T was coming right at me over the
roses!"
Allen proved himself real man;
for he did not laugh, but said sootr
ingly:
"a spider would not hurt you, chlld'
and he is surely gone now with In0
roses
Almost as swiftly as 1t had come
