Ida Beaumont’s Mistake
-DE
POSITIONS REVERSED.
A pleasant afternoon in Jane, 187-
party of yonng ladies and young gen-
cmen were variously engaged within
the recently deserted fair grounds, *
the city of Albion. Generally in pairs
eome of these promenaded the race
track. Others sauntered among the
buildings, lately the scene of activity,
bat now strewn with the debris of the
many-fold mechanical and agricultural
to make to one she now felt she had
unnecessarily wounded deeply.
The farmer’s sun-bnrnt hand clasp
ing tenderly, pressed for a moment the
jeweled one of Ida Beaumont, as he
helped her into the carriage.
Bob Methoin watched the vehicle
until it disappeared through the gate
of the fair grounds. Turning with a
sad heart, he walked down tho race
track to where his wire-grass pony,
Mamie, was hitched.
Going up to tho beautiful little bay,
which had surprised everybody at the
recent races by taking tho premium
from the blue blooded stock, I’oh strok
ed her mane affectionately while lean
ing on her neck.
Three years ago who would have
thought the little scrawny, shaggy
wire-grass scrub covered with cucklo-
burs would come out and beat blooded
stock so badly.”
They laughed at me for entering
in, but I only smiled Mamie. 1
lew yonr speed and bottom would
make my time to laugh. If there lia:
so much come out in you, why
may not I yet win Ida Beaumont
spite of my being a clod-knockcr?

With a half gloved hand ever and
non the threw back the mass of wavy
I chesnut hair hanging in profusion over
I her shoulders as the gentle breeze blew
them. A half amused, half
perplexed expression played oi
beautiful face of Ida Beaumont,
knew from tha drifts of her compan
ion’s conversation what would soon
follow. Her hat hid this expression
from the penetrating gray eyes of the
handsome bnt oommouly clad Bob
Methoin, who stood leaning against the
trank of the tree, twisting nis auburn
moustache with his sun-burnt hands.
Bo yon leave us to-morrow, Miss
boy will

pony did. lie will yet win the prize
from the bine-bloods.
Springing into the saddle, Bob,
drawing his reins tight, slapped Ma-
with his hand on the neck, who
threw her ears back, bounded around
the remaining part of the track at a
speed wonderful for an animal without
pedigree. If her master shows her
speed and pluck his prophesies may be
come realities. Bob Methoin’s words
to Ida were not simply boasts, bnt the
stern resolves of a man suddenly arous
ed to a consciousness of innate and
heretofore latent powers, which are ca
pable of making their impress upon the
events of the time. From his lide
home that day may be traced the hero
ic resolves which carried on in connec
tion with his great presence of mind,
enabled him to solve the difficult prob
lem Ida Beaumont had given him by
placing himself in a position ‘
