in certain city, every year beautiful
maiden was given to horrid dragon;
he would eat up the people, their
wheat and everything, if they did not
give lovely, sweet girl every year
for him to devour.
At last the time came when it fell
to the lot of wonderful princess, the
very fairest in all the land, to meet
this cruel death. Just as the beautiful
maiden was thrown sorrowfully to
him in the Labyrinth, and the monster
was crawling toward her, brave prince,

The sight he beheld, Mortified him;
coming at furious rate, a powerful
horse was running away. A little child
was in the carriage clinging with all
her might to the seat.

been told, or he had read, of runaway
horse being stopped by person cling
ing to the horses bridle-bit.
Another moment, Tom had cleared
the hedge, and was swinging to that
horses bride and name, with a death
like grip.
The fine-blooded horse had been
frightened by an automobile and hav-
ing a fresh fright when the bOyish
figure sprang at his throat, he swayed
this way, and that, trying to get rid
of his burden, but Tom was holding
on with eyes closed, and teeth set,
determined not to be thrust aside.
How long that mad ride continued,
Tom never could tell, it was hours
and hours, he afterwards declared,
that he chung to the horse, then
great hoarse cry rang out, and all was
black darkness. The next he knew,
or thought anything, he found himself
in bed in his own dear little room,
where his mother, father, the Doctor,
Dolly and a strange man, and little
girl, whom he recognized as being the
one for whom he had nearly died to
save.
The stranger bent over him, saying,

stopped our horse, this, my only

Toms big brown eyes wandered low
