hnltcr of the other around his waist
In order to lead It. In some way he
lost his balance or was pulled from
ino noise ho was riding. This fright
ened the other horse and It started on
a mad run, dragging young Costello
on the ground. No one was near at
the time to see the direction tnken bv
the frightened animal and Its helpless
victim, and It was not until 10 o'clock
at night that a searching party canio
upon the object of their search In n
lonely spot In the woods, The halter
strap had caught around a tree and
at Its end dangled the lifeless body of
the boy. Ills scalp had been torn off
and many bones were broken.

"Ves," remarked Mrs. Peterson, "I

down .stalls again, "and I shall begin

to turn around and not always be run

"I heme it will be a long time before

as he put it In Ills desk.
it was the first time for a mouth that
he had felt really happy. During tli.it
time he hail tried to get a tenant for
his house, hut had been unable to llnd
a suitable one. It had been horrlblv
lone.some coming homo at night to a
cold, echoing house. But now he would
h.ive the Petetsons there, and be
looked forwurd to day after to-mor-iow
wllli toy. Uo used to know Joe
Peterson, but be supposed he wouldn't
see much of him, as Joe was awiiv
fioni home all the week. There were.
Ihe chlldien. too. He was fond of
children, even if he -was an old bach
elr. Then he lemembered that the
children must be nearly giown up bv
this time. AVell, young people were
almost as good as children.
It was the next day, while be was
out taking his constitutional, that
Kverson saw him nnd crossed the
stieet to speak to him. "So you havo
got the Petersons?" he said after they
had walked u few blocks. "Well,
there's only 'one thing about them that
you won' like."
"What Is that?" (juestloned Mr.
Theodoi e.
"Their pluuo."
"Oh, I don't mind piano practice as
some do," said Mr. Theodoi e easily. "In
act, I rather like It."
"You haven't lived over the Peter-'.-
yet," said Kverson hententlously.
'vou wait a little. It's an old piano
thai came over in the Mayflower that
Is. If any pianos did come over then
this Is uno of them, I could get more
music out of a brass kettiu and tin
puns. It'a all out of tune, too, nnd,
worst of all, they keep banging uwav
on It nil tho time. In vacation It's
something awful. There are three girls
that take lessons, and they are bound
to bo playing, so they keep tho old
thing going nbout nine hnuis a day."
Mr. Theodore's faeo had lonsrthened
during this description. "What makes
them keep such un old trap?" he asked,
"Well, you see, they're kind of poor,
und they can't afford a now one."
Mr. Theodore wulked moodily nlontf
after his friend left him. Then sudden
ly his face brightened. "I con fix It all
right." ho aald und went on more
briskly.
The next morning theie was consid
erable grumbling fioni the two men
who moved tho Potersens because Mr,
Theodore Foster Insisted on helping,
He was espoolally.troublesonie about
Ihe placing of tho piano. Ho Insisted
on having it on the very end of tho
load, und tied It wltli his own hands.
When the team started, he ttottRd
along beside It, und they reached tho
hoitbo ut the same time,
it was a raw morning, and tho men
wero putting blunkotH on the horses,
when suddenly there came a Jungllng
crush. Thoy hurried to the buck of the
wiigon and found Mr. Theodore looking
In horror und dismay at a very badly
smashed piano. "It's ull my fault"
was all ho managed to say before a
torrent of abuse and curses loud und
deep overwhelmed him.
Mr. Theodore went und told Mrs.
Peteisen nbout tho accident, and after
he had gone a loud wall arose from the
three girls, but when the household ef

'the atuicillo poitinn of Ihe piogramme con-
themselves went to their new home
there, iu the parlor, was a beautiful,
brand new piano.
They all stood In tho doorway and
stared in amazement.
, "Air. Foster had it sent," Aunt Saiah
, Petersen explained. She had been there
attending to that end or the moving,
"lie said that as it was clue to his enrc
lehMioss that tho other was wrecked, he
should take the liberty of sending for
this one." f
Maud, the oldest girl, went and tried
the Instrument. "Isn't it beautiful "
she cried rapturously.
Time went on, and the girls practiced
diligently. Their aunt also took ad
vantage of the chance to play, so that
.Mr. Theodoi o had all the music, he
wan led.
The Potersens had been there two
months when one day Air. Theodore
asked Maud to go with him to tho
piano looms.
"I want you to try thorn all," he .said,
"and see if there Is one you like better
than the one at home,"
Maud tried them. "No," she declared,
"there isn't one so nice."
Are Isabel and Katlurino satisfied
with it?"
"Why, yes, indeed they are."
"liy the way, won't you play that
new waltz for me?"
.She .seated herself at the nearest In
strument and began to play. When
she hud finished she looked around,
but Mr, Theodore was not beside her
as she had supposed. Instead she
saw him at the far end of the room
coming toward her with a piece of
paper In his hand. When he reached
hor he passed her the paper.
"A birthday present, my dear. I be
lieve It is your birthday today."
Aland looked nt the paper Munklv.
Then It dawned upon her that It was
a bill of sale of the piano at home,
made out In her name.
Maud never would tell her M-hom
what she did at that moment, but
when she came homo and told them
about It, they all declared that Mr.
Thendnte waw "a dear."
"Don't you, think It would be better
for you to go out ot doors more, Miss
Sarah?" Mr. Theodore upketl her ono
dny. "I would be greatly honored if
you would nccompany me on my dally
walks. It Is rather tedious going1
along."
And so It became the custom for the
old bachelor and the maiden aunt to
walk out every dny together.
lint after a year of this, Miss Sarah
(old him one day that she was going
away for a six months' visit.
Mr. Theodore was filled with con
sternation nt this an.d beggad her to
u-coiisiiier. He pleaded to enruestly
and eloquently that she finally prom
ised to stay away only two vesks,
und when she camo back to "set tho
da v."
That was the longest walk they had
taken, nnd toward the end of It, Mr,
Thcodoro said: "My dear, there is
something I have wanted to tell you
ever Mnce I have known you. It is
about the piano."
"I don't think you will have to tell
nio now," she said, "I have known
it all the time. I saw you do It."
"Saw mo do It? Do whnl?"
"Out the jope."
Ho stood still and looked ut her,
"I wns at tho window, I hud como
over to see to things, you know, and
I saw you take out your knife, step
up to the hub of the wheel und cut
the rope."
"And you never told?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Ion ses," she said confusedly, her
color rising-, "It Hashed upon mo at
onco what you did It for that old
piano, t wus uu Instrument of tor
tureand that vyns tho beginning of
the-of the end, 1 think."
He tried to look In her averted face.
"I dQn't understand what you mean
by the end."
She turned a radiant fchnca upon
him. "Why don't you see today!"
