Susan started.
Its her!" she gasped, and snatch
ing up her coat and cap, sped down
the stairs, in pursuit of the figure.
She followed at n safe distance.
Betsy had gone about three hun
dred yards when Susan discovered a
dark object ahead. II was toward
this that Betsy seemed headed.
A sleigh passed, and Susan recog-
nized the driver as Mr.. Carson, a new
conner.
Susan still followed; as they drew
nearer, she distinguished the object
ahead to be a horse and sleigh. A
man was standing beside it. Betsy
had almost reached the sleigh when,
to Susan's surprise, she called out to
him:
"Oh, help me! I'm being followed"
Suddenly Susan stopped short.
Billy" she muttered, under her
breath, and hurried on.
Susan was not more than fifty feet
away when the sleigh started.
Wait" she shouted.
Stop, Billy, stop-it's Susan" Bet
sy pleaded. "She was so far away
that | couldn't tell, and | thought it
was-my uncle"
The sleigh stopped. Susan then
approached it hurriedly.
Betsy, what do you mean?"
"Oh, Susan, I'm-l'm clipping. Tell
your father everything. 1t isn't Bill
ly's fault. He would have waited I'M
til ! was twenty-one. IL was my
fault, ! simply could not wait three
years. He refused to let me marry
Billy-and-and-you see."
Susan" the third party now spoke,
its not altogether her fault, it's your
fathers fault and mine, as well. |
consented. She is a brave little girl
to lay il all upon herself" He looked
at her fondly.
Brave" snorted Susan, she's a
coward"
81 know, Susan" said Betsy, "that
you're a-what is TIA 'shero,' and
I'm only an ordinary, but its only ma
tural. Now, why not look for a real
hero?"
81 mean to, good-by!" Susan started
in the direction Of home.
So this was the end of all of her
hopes.
Suddenly Il thought came to her.
Mr.. Carson! She had seer him pass.
he was "A newcomer and did not know
of the we'll that had been dug in the
old road. That was the road he had
taken! She must warn him.
She turned hasty steps in the direc-
ton Of the well.
Suddenly the snow began TO fall.
II came thicker and thicker. faster
and faster, until Susan could see only
a short distance ahead. What il she
should miss him! She began to run
at full speed.
II he reached the we'll before she
could warn him, he would undoubtedly
be seriously injured, perhaps killed.
She reached the road. She saw a
dark object far away, so far that she
could scarcely distinguish il. She ran
toward as fast as her feet could car
ry hor. Then she could sec IL no more.
She was too late. With a cry. she
sank back into the snow, unconscious.
Some time elapsed and when Susan
regained consciousness she was in her
wi room, warm and comfortable. A
man was bending over her.
You are better?" he asked anxious

ingly.
Susan feebly sat up.
