runawayS. At the second corner they
swerved suddenly. crashed the rear wheel
from a projecting float and swung toward
a er-bedecked phaeton that had pulled
in to the curb. The woman in it tried to
lift her two little children out of the way.
Lancy. who had come galloping behind
the runaways, shouting futlely, saw her
and called to her in frenzy of alarm.
At the moment old Marcus Degremont
swept by. He seized the nearest horse by
the bit and the force with which he
came pulled the leaders to their knees
and broke the pole of the float the splin
tered end stopping within foot Of the
phaeton's wheels.
A great cheer went up from the dense
crowd and Lancy flung himself from his
horse.

her old head carried high and an in
domitable smile for all who glanced her
way.
After much delay Lancy finally got
the parade in shape and started it off
toward the depot. He looked uncom-
monty proud as he rode at it's head on
his dainty stepping. beautifully muscled
horse. Bands We're playing and people
We're cheering. The old thrill was in
the air and Degremont's blood began to
race. But there. blotting out the bright
ness of the day, was Lancy's slender i'm
pudent figure and he wheeled Pompey
half way about that he might not see il.
Then a shout brought him sharply
around.
Down the street from the first division
four black horses hitched to float swung
about, toppled their driver from his seat
and came piunging madly back through
the line Of parade. To Degremont the
street before them seemed to lift in the
middle. splitting colorful rivulets of parad-
ers toward the curb. a panicky mob
was instantly evolved from the orderly
ranks. Men pushed and struggled and
fought to get out of the uncertain course
of the frightened animals. Drivers lost
their heads and tried to pull into nearby
alleys, jumbling the line OF vehicles in

ruthleSSly into store entrances.

waving again and Pompey and his rider
took their old place at the head of the
parade, the rider with his accustomed
martial bearing, the horse with his con-
quering step.
Degremont massed the first division in
the square before the station. the others
stretching away in beautiful, streamer-
like lines. The train was just in and a
few minutes later the welcoming commit
tee came out with their distinguished
guest.
Cheers started in the square and ran
down the lines. With uncovered head the
visitor started forward to his carriage.
then glimpsed the splendid old figure al
the head of the parade.
"A minute, gent 'emen," he said. and
ran out in the square like a school
boy to grab Marcus Degremont's hand.
There was Il pandemonium of cheers
at that which did not cease till Ley
den returned to the committee
This is proud day to me to be
thus honored and to see my old friend
honored Also he remarked to the chair
man.
The carriage fell in behind the marshal
and his staff, and the parade was re-
sumed. Never. it seemed to Marcus De-
gremont, had his heart beat so proudly,
never had Pompey stepped so high.

toned house with green shutters, one of

Marcus Degremont rode at the head of
the third division. He rode his own
mount. Pompey, chestnut sorrel with
white name and tail, and the walking
gait of a conquering war horse. The
mount was as familiar TO the people as
the man himself.
He sat in the saddle exactly as he had
sat for years. He held himself for
her sake, who would be watching for
him, love and rebellion, modification and

staff. No word of what had happened
