PV RY YY A, A “wanenanenen v A HOWNOWNOWNOWE (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure, Newspa- per Syndicate.) Had Miss Lisle Vernon decided an hour earlier that she ought to drive into the village to post a letter and to get a paper of needles and some elastic tape and a sheet of music and half a dozen other things she could have gone in her father’s auto or in her own runabout, but when she had at last made up her mind both ma- chines were out: tween the Vernon place and the vil lage, a distance of four miles. There was no barge canal. There was no flying machine handy. The only way to get there just at that time was to walk. The letter could have been sent a month later as well as on that day, and there wasn’t a bit of haste about the other things, but Miss Lisle start- ed on that long walk. It was hot and dusty and there were no babbling brooks or shady dells on the way. After going half a mile the girl de cided to turn back. She had turned when a man came driving up with a rather smart looking rig, and halted to say: ‘Miss Vernon, my name is Fletch er. 1 know your father well. have started for town let me give you a lift. I wouldn't walk the distance . on such a day for a $10 bill.” Miss Lisle had never heard of Mr. Fletcher, but he did not look like a kidnaper, and she accepted his in- vitation. At the end of a mile a buggy, with two young men in it, and with their horse on a dead run, came up behind them and started to pass. Mr. Fletcher gave them all the room he could, but the man with the reins had planned a smash and he brought it about. There was a row and threats made and a week later Mr. Fletcher was arrested on a warrant charging him with malicious damage, “and Miss Lisle found herself subpenaed as a witness for the defense. She had re- father had said: ; “Yes, I know Fletcher. He is an old bachelor, and was sued for breach- of-promise about a year ago.” “But 1 didn’t know it,” protested the girl. “Well, you know it now, and you hadn't better take any more buggy rides with him. One of the young fellows was a brother of the girl, and 1 shouldn't wonder if there’d be more trouble.” . A week later the trial came on be- fore a justice of the peace, and there was a large attendance of spectators, and the lawyer for the prosecution took Miss Lisle in hand for the cross- examination. He was a young lawyer, and he wasn't going to spare anybody. After the usual questions about name, age and residence, he started out with: “Were you on the highway between Stone Hill and this village in the fore: noon of the seventh day of last month?” “] was in a buggy with Mr. Fletch “Well, what happened?” “Those two young men came up be hind our rig with another horse and buggy.” “They came up quietly, did they?” “No, sir. They came cursing and shouting. They passed on my side, and the one with the reins deliberate- ly reined the horse in. He looked at me and grinned as he did it. We were standing still as he did it.” ‘Miss Vernon, you know what per- Jury is, do you?” “Yes, sir, and I know what insult is as well!” “That is all” and Miss Lisle was out of it, except when he came to ad- dress the jury he strongly hinted that the reason for the collision probably lay in the fact that Fletcher was driving one-handed and could not con- trol his horse. er.

He knew 1 was telling the truth, and yet he tried to make me out ! a liar! Think of his hinting that Fletcher had an arm around me! “Oh, but 1 could see him burned at the stake!” Three months later, as she started out one day with her runabout, she was hating yet. Golden Hill was a steep, long hill, with two turns in it, and at its foot was a bridge over a deep river. The girl was just taking the last turn with a whizz that would have carried her across the bridge when the man she hated appeared before her with obstruction was thrown in such a way that the machine was run head on in- to the bank. The driver was bounced around and some damage done, but be- fore she could voice her feelings she was beckoned to follow the other to the foot of the hill. The river was rolling in flood, and the bridge was gone! Does the girl always marry the man who saves her life? - She has to. She has to get over being mad and begin to love.
