Bellefonte, Pa., April 24, 1931. WILD HORSES, (Continued from page 2, Col. 6.) | a | more, he not been an expert rider, would j= ave been catapulted over his head; nen he whirled and, screaming in syror, took the bit in his teeth and | tarted at right angles across the | eld—anywhere to escape the ancient | orror. i Eve was fighting him, but a glance : howed Cowing she was helpless. lobody better than he knew that | nly a very strong rider éould con- rol Salvage on a rampage. The orse was insafé with terror, and ‘owing knew that a horse way will crash into anything. Back over the last barrier he aped his mare and sent her after ne fast disappearing Salvage, just s a man floundered up on a spent unter, took the wall and won the Unable to control Salvage sith the reins, Eve struck him martly across the right side of his sce and he turned left and back cross the field, which was an ad- antage, for Cowing was coming own on them from that direction. {e pulled up and turned his mare, alloping along in front of the mad alvage; as the latter came by flat- sned to earth, eyes staring, Cowing sde the mare close alongside him, .aned over and got his arm around he girl's waist. “Kick loose” he shouted—and drag- ed her out of the saddle and held er close against him with one arm ‘hile he pulled the mare down to walk. When Eve slid off to the round, he dismounted and stood be- ide her; together they watched Sal- age gallop across the field, take off t a six foot stone wall, land atop of ., scramble over and disappear, «And that tall wall, my dear, aid Cowing, “flanks the top of a hirty-foot railroad cut. The side s perpendicular and Salvage is lying t the bottom of it. Can you walk a?" She nodded. “Then I'm off,” he said, and gal- ped across the field to a farmer's ouse, where he borrowed a shotgun nd, leaving his mare to be walked up nd down by the farmer and cooled ut, ran back across the field toward ne point Salvage had disappeared. And that was the last Eve Bran- on saw of Jim for 3 week. In the nd she grew ti wi or an pportunity to meet him casually nd drove over to his farm one yorning in her dogcart. “Explain yourself,” she command- 4. “*No man may save my life and znore me.” He was embarrassed and sought o evade her by a show of stupidity. Ah, yes! About old Salvage. id promise to tell you about him. Vell, it isn't pleasant telling, Eve, ut since I promised—"And he told er the story. “So when you saw that dead horse jing beside the wall at the amp you knew exactly what Sal- age was to do,” she queried. f Naturally, knew that the sight f a dead horse would drive him y. “You'd negotiated the last jump nd had you kept on fifty yards arther—a matter sould have been declared the winner f the race. And you would have ashed bets on your mare at four > one. It cost you the thousand ounds you bet and the four thous- nd you have won to be a allant gentleman and a true-blue port.” “You embarrass me, Eve. I couldn’t last | P of seconds—you | Agri AUDITORS’ STATEMENT “You know that Mr. Dawson saw Salvage cutting up his didos some five de You and; that as + a matter of fact was a time when Mr. Dawson could have ridden alongside me and taken me off as courageously as did?’ he kept the purse and cashed bet on that silly old crock of his.’ “He was entitled to do that,” Cow- ing defended. “See here,” she cried angrily, “I'll not have you, of all men, defend the creature! A gentleman would have declined to cash a winning ticket under such circumstances. I haven't been certain for some time that I would be doing the wise thing to marry—him so I've deferred doing it. Now I know he's a rotten sport and miserably selfish—and I know you're not—and it's something worth knowing." “When I found poor Salvage,” Cowing said irrelevantly, “he was, lying at the bottom of the railway cut. He was Borrilly In I stuck a shotgun I in his ear and gave him both bar- rels. I wouldn't let him suffer un- necessarily for a Shit second.” “Stupid! I've broken my engage- ment with Mr, Dawson, I tell you.” “Well, go on. Propose to me.” «J ghall. Will you marry me? You always said you wanted to.” «“] will. Are you going to climb down out of that dogcart and kiss me—or must I climb up and kiss ua?” “I'll climb down,” she said. “God bless Salvage and lead him into some sort of horse heaven. Oh, my dear, I've been suck a fool!” “Hush darling. No explanations,” he protested. “Come over to the stables and I'll show you the year- ling hunter I'm going to school for my wife.’—By Peter B. Kyne in Hearst's International Cosmopolitan. “MOST UNIQUE TREE" IS DYING SLOWLY Pennsylvania's most unique tree, a prostrate juniper growing in a wood- Jot in Dauphin county between Hum- melstown and Elizabethtown, ap- to be slowly dying, it is stated by Forests and Waters.
