in the future than one present.
Mr.. Doyle returned to his barn, put
the horses beds into the stalls, a meas
ure Of oats into each of their tToughs,
down the hay. Whether 1t was his
perturbed condition of mind concern
ing his proposal and the probably con-
sequent separating himself for all time
from Octavia Sparks, the fact remains
that he stepped into an opening in the
floor of the loft of which no had many
years been aware and landed In stall
below He not only received an inter
nal injury from the fall, but the horse
occupying the place. frightened at his
masters sudden entrance, came near
trampling the life out OF him before
he could drag himself out OF reach.
Then he tainted.
After lying unconscious for a few
moments he came to himself, feeling a
terrible pain In his chest, and found 1t
difficult to breathe. He was able to
arise and stagger to the house, where
he tainted again, A doctor was called,
who felt of his chest and found a rib
broken. As soon as possible surgeon
was produced who said that the rib
was so badly fractured that II could
not DO set. II left as It was 1t would
destroy the lung ON which 1t pressed.
In fact, 1t must be removed. Instead
Of having the patient taken to hos
pital, he decided to perform the opera
ton at the house.
Octavia Sparks was on her way to
the village store when Mrs. Butter

mo. What Is IT." cried Octavla. pal

The girl made no reply to this, but
turned and hurried home, There she
learned that the surgeon was about
to perform the operation. Going over
TO Doyle's house, she asked II she
