Some way, these questions, thus surging upon him, became a call to live, to fight, to unravel their mystery.

He knew the sand ridge was only used by horsemen, not being wide enough for the safe pass- as to thus completely obscure their trail, yet not daring to venture deep for fear of striking quicksand, the plains- man set his pony struggling forward. until the dim outline of the bank at his right rendered him confident that they had attained the proper point for crossing. He had been that way only once before, and realized the danger of attempting passage in such darkness. but urgent need drove him forward. “Follow me just as close as you can, boy,” he said sternly. “and keep both your feet. out or the stirrups.

The story of a farmer who had ocâ€" casion to purchase a pipe in one of- Kingston’s stores at a very low price, ten or fifteen cents. is not without its lesson to the bargain hunter. The farmer in question, after completing his purchase, got some tobacco and proceeded to light up for his drive home. Nothing unusual hap- pened till just this side of the Bath Road, when the pipe began to blaze with amazing vigor like a fagot. The farmer managed to prevent further damage being done than the loss of the pipe, which was probaqu com- posed of veneered cedar and easily infleximable. He had no doubt about Neb's pony making land, unless struck by some driftwood, or borne to the center of the stream by the shifting force of thf current. But if Neb had failed to re tain his grip he might have been sucked under by the surge of waters. A hundred yards below he found them. dripping and weak from the struggle. yet otherwise unhurt. There were no words spoken. but the black and white hands clasped silently, and then Neb crept back into the saddle, shivering in his wet clothes as the cool night wind swept against him.
