of tilings which needed lo be done HI buy a new doubleharness within a few he muttered guess this one will be all right for a time The foil owing morning Seth started on bis regular trip picking up the school children here and there along the country roads The time came that he had taken bis last young aenger abroad and now with a full barge he headed his horses for the village school miles distant On roar step stood Jonas Grossman a big boy of the school Slow of wit generally speaking was Jonas Hie backwardness accounted for pres ence in a class of hoys and girls con siderably younger than himself Awk ward loosejointed big of frame he was the laughingstock of the school The new horse acted badly from the start that morning The March wind seemed to make him more fiery than he was at his worst the previous even ing and the more tractable off horse the spirit pulling with un wonted strength at the bit I wish bad that new harness on them muttered Setli gripping the reins a bit more firmly as the barge the crest or Crooked Hill a hill more than a mile long and ending at the river road if one of these reins should break Id be in a fine fix Just as horses reached the top of the last rtse a partridge whirred across the toad directly in front of them Instantly did the new horse leap la harness his mate following a fraction of a second later The next instant they were plunging down the hilt toward the liver There could be no such thing as the frightened animal a with that pair of reins knew only too well that were he to jerk on an he wanted to and heeded to one or both would snap The children were quick to note the danger and their screams of terror still farther fright ened the fyike a panorama opened up before the entire length of the hill crook seemed to come before his eyes In a second he saw the ateep Incline and the sharp turn onto the iyer road He knew that that turn never be made by the fran- tic without an upset He was cognisant of the fast that were the horses to plunge ahead onto ihe river Ice there be but one result a terrible tragedy One other thing came his eyes as the horses galloped down the first A con taining two tons or more of salt hay it stood at Hie foot of the hit on the river road on the rtgtit hand aide when making the turn the left Baag on Jonas yelled over Ills shoulder Hn I let out was not slow to think that day sbouUd to him he the danger resulting a He knew were too to get by broken limbs If not broken necks would be the result I he thundered Hie while the upright bars on either side of the door You dont- get by me I SU down I tell you The score of were massed just within the rear doorway the while pushing and screaming r Some were tugging at Jonas hands In an effort to break their grip while others we re pushing against his breast The while Jonas hung grimly on Meanwhile had stooped and up a halfInch hitch rope widen was coiled at his feet it was a rope a dozen feet long At one end was a steel snap hook Hooking the reins up his head Seth stepped over dasher and down onto the pole An ins later he was making his way out between the two horses barge was then halfway down the with a straight road ahead for a quar ter of a mile The undertaking was hazardous jn the extreme Mho note lumping up end down and swaying from side to side but gave that part no thought The time come that lie got a on the collar of the nigh horse and reaching down be managed to the hitch rope onto the Inside ring lo the nigh horses bit A mo ment later and he was working his way back to the barge Reaching his seat seized the reins In his left hand and gripping the hitch rope with his right he awaited the crucial moment The horses were now plunging down the last sleep In cline A hundred yards or so distant was the turn onto the river There stood lbs big cock of salt hay and there determined to throw one or of bis horses rtnee to Hie bay cock was cut down one hundred feet to fifty to twentyfive Then were the Just at the turn of the road yanked on the rope pulled with all his might He had dropped the and was holding them with one foot which he had set upon hem Just as they were about to slide over the dasher With both hands did he grip the rope and pull The head of the nigh horse shot down ward and as the animal dropped onto farewell was- given A Esq at the Temperance on Friday evening be being
