d"nly they burst into the broad Low
road. With a terrific clatter of flying
stones and slipping, scrambling hoofs,
they made the turn. Alan rode at last
on Clem's quarter. "Clem," he cried,
stop! 1t isn't fair to the horses"

body swayed to the bends of the road

own riding whip for their own good
but not Glen. Alan suddenly knew
that there was something in Glen
that man could not break.
The wood-road made a gradual
ascent that the willing horses took at
a steady, hard gallop. They left the
tree-line of the valley below them,
scurried across an ancient clearing,
pushed through brush and branches.
and burst out on to the long, bald back
of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hinderin,- powders.
At the highest point in all the coun-
tryside Clem suddenly drew rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her. She stood with one
