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.
