Marlon rode at an angry gallop. The dust was thick and the heat Intense even for July—no weather for riding. U'he girl wore a neat blue gown, and a wide straw hat shaded her golden hair and clouded blue eyes. As she passed the hayfleld, midway between her fa ther's farm and Jim Bradley's. Jim himself stepped to the road and motion ed her to stop. She reigned the rough hay colt tip with difficulty and pushed her lover's hand away when ho laid it on her arm. She gave him no chance to speak. "Now. don’t say anything. I shall ride whatever horse I please. Sts* how quiet lie Is, anyway. Well, suppose I tun killed? Then you will he free to marry Agnes, since you seem to like her so well. Vou can ride with her every day. You are free now, for that matter!” She knew It was an unjust remark, hut jealousy had tlu* upper hand, Jim Bradley was every inch a man, tall and good looking. Ills dark eyes Hashed, uiid Ids Jaw set. He laid seen Marion In a temper before. lie tried to explain. "But, dearest, she only overtook me on tuy way to town. It was not planned by either of us, and I have al ways known her, as I have you. Would you have me tell her you did not allow me to ride n mile with a neighbor? Where's the harm? Vou know whom I love, dear.” "She’s always after you. She's in love with you. She"— "No, she Is not, but If she were ought you to bo angry with me? And even then should you Illume her? You love me yourself, don't you? Conic, dear, ho reasonable. Lot me lead the brute home, and. If you must ride mid get a sunstroke, get It on u safe horse.” His masterful air of possession Irritated tier us much as It ordinarily pleased her. "I don’t lovo you. I bate you! Come on. Prince." She gave the reins a little mIiip, and tin* colt danced and snorted wildly. Jlin caught him by the bridle. Hi* spoke with repressed anger. "Well, love mo or not, you shall get down! You shan't break your neck Just to break my heart. You know plenty of other ways of doing that. Prince has not been saddled half a dozen times, and 1 know your father does not allow you to ride him, though you are nu old lumd at horses. And you know perfectly well that Agnes Is nothing hut a friend. Sin* cares noth ing for me. She's a nice girl"— "That’s It .stand tip for her, Jim Bradley! She told Sue Field that she would take you from me, and she's done It. Not that I euro—much. Let Prince go, I say!” "1 will not. I shall take you down and have your father forbid you to mount him. Sue is only trying to make trouble. Agnes never said or thought a thing like that.” Marlon sat quietly u moment, as If to obey Ids command to dismount. Her eyes were wide, her cheeks glowing. He dropped the bridle and cunio to reach his arms up for tier. Then sud denly tin* demon of pride adzed her again. She gave Prince a cut that sent him out of Jim's reach with one hound. "Uoodby," she called. “You are face. I wouldn't marry you If you—1 would have to he dead and come to life again before I would say I love you!" The horse was off at nn unruly gul- lop. Jim was angry, but his heart stood still ns he wutched the little blue figure riding away so lightly. Untrust worthy hn he knew the colt to be, she seemed to have him under fine control. She could tame auythlug but her own temper; It woe n way she had. Per haps her own unruly spirit made the conquest of others easy. Of all her •ultors-nnd she was much sought— only Jim had ever held his own and refused to bow utterly under the yoke of her will. That was why she loved him and quarreled with him—and hnd always come back to lilm. He was the stronger, and, while at times she re sented tils power over her, she also gloried In It. Tills was tin* worst sho hnd ever done—defied him. broken her promise to marry him, risked her fife to wring his henrt. He watched herse nnd girl fly from him over the level road. Then he shouldered his hayfork, walked swift ly to her father's place, entered the de serted barnyard—the men wore all In the fields—closed the open barn door nnd waited with set Jaw. Meantime Marion and the colt were having a grand rlile past grain lands and groves and farmhouses, flying past ' meadow and hayfleld. The brisk mo tion, the wind lu her face, cooled the girl's anger a little and made her ashamed. She thought with a pang that she had gone too far this time— that she could never make It up with Jim now she had been a fool. Then she remembered coming back . from shopping with Sue and meeting him riding ptylv to town with Agnes Sutherland, with whom she had warred from the A B C's up. Jim had always had a fondness for her. Her wrath rose again, and she twitched the bridle. Prince was tired and beginning to be a bit aulky and nervous. With horse- womanfy Instinct she humored without yielding to him, lot him drink at a roadside trough and turned his head for home. As they reached Field's farm she no- t tlced preparations for thrashing going j on. Tiie great red thrasher stood wait- < lug for the angina, and men and horse* were stnnding all about the conical yel low stacks. Sue •nne from the house nnd called to her to stop, which she did, to the colt's disgust. Sue leaned on the fence, and the two girls chatted a mo ment. "You better get off till the engine comes. Marion. You might meet It. You’ve no business on that crazy colt, it Isn't safe. I don't see how Jim ul- lows it!" Marlon's face flamed. "What has he to say? I am not en gaged to him any more. I”— Sue gasped, then, with remorse—too late, as usual—remembered what she had told her friend on the way from town that day. "Marlon, you weren't ever fool enough not to know 1 was joking? What Ag ues really said was that Jim was so silly about you he didn't hear what she said half the time. Oh, May, Pm so sorry I” But Marlon did not wnlt. She rode away. Prince settled Into nu ugly, obstinate gallop, swerving and jolting. They were nearing the crossing when an unearthly shriek made Marion look up to see the thrasher engine approach ing. She urged Prince on, trying to reach the corner where the road turned toward home before the machine came closer. Her hands trembled, hut she remembered that it Is fatal to lose nerve with an unruly horse. Prince snorted, laid back his cars, hut went on well enough. They were almost at the corner when the fiendish shriek came again. The colt took the hit in his teeth and bolted In utter terror. Marion knew her danger and kept her head as they turned the corner. She let her hat go, and tlu* wind whipped her long hair hack U'.io a yellow banner. She spoke to the colt soothingly, patted his neck, tried to get the lilt from his teeth—all lu vain. They were still a mile from home and going so fast that the mo tion was as easy as the rocking of u cradle. If they met no teams and he kept to tile road all might yet be well, hut he might throw her. He swerved at tin* bridge and nearly dragged her against the railing. She felt cold perspiration on her face. It seemed like the end of things. She thought of i im—nil he had been, all he was to her, what she had said to him— and now she—might- never la* able to say she was sorry, that she loved him— gel him to forgive her. She recalled a baby prayer, a little brother long dead, thought of her mother’s face when they would take her home. As they neared tho house sin* remembered that she had not wooded tin* pansy tied. Everything wavered strangely in her mind. As they passed the windows she saw her little sister's baby face. As the coll tore around the corner to the gate and Into the yard she grew cold with horror. Sin* had left the barn door open. He would make for his stall and crush her. it went suddenly dark I before her, and her head swam. Jim— she wanted to call his name, hut could not. lie would have saved her, she i thought. Against the closed door stood n brim ming pall of cold water. As Prince stopped with a Jerk that threw Marlon from her seat Jiui Bradley came quiet ly up. Sin* was bunging by all her skirts, that had caught ou tin* pommel. Only a quick hand and a steady one ; could have disengaged her as he did. lie drew her Into the shade and held her close. I Sin* opened her eyes and looked up J luto his white face. It was like lieav- ! eu to her. | "Jim!" she said. "Jim!" ] "Are you hurt—are you hurt? Mar lon, are you all right?" She drew a long breath, stood up and walked a step to show him she was uninjured, j Then she went close to him and put I her hands ou his shoulders. Her fuce was very serious. "Jim,” she said, "I have changed my mind." He saw a queer little light In . l*er eyes and was wury. j “Aliout what— Prince?" | “About you. Couldn’t you—ask me If I—love you? I think that I wouldn't nave to lie to say—yes." Jim tried to get hold of her, but she held off. "I want to tell you wlmt I think of myself. Don't you speak. I atn a hor rid little— beast. Yes, I did say ‘beast.’ Will you—take me hack?” Jim thought he would.

That George Venable*, Thackeray’s schoolmate, was not entirely responsi ble for tlie novelist’s disfigured nose Is to bo gathered from the autobiography of Sir Weinyss Held. On one occasion, j when both Venables and Reid were visiting Lord Houghton, Betd bluntly nsked his fellow guest who broke Thackeray’s nose. “It was winter, and we were walking In Indian file through the woods. As I put tills question to Venables he sud- | denly stopped and. turning around, glared at me In a manner that Instantly revealed the terrible truth to my alarm ed Intelligence. He continued to glare for several seconds, and then, apparent- ly perceiving nothing but innocent con fusion, not unmixed with alarm, on my face, his features became relaxed Into a more amiable expression. 'Did any body tell you,’ he said slowly and with solemn emphasis, *to ask me that ques tion?' I could truthfully say that no body had done so. My answer seemed to mollify Venables at once. Then, If nobody put you up to asking that ques tion. I don’t mlud answering It. It was I who broko Thackeray’s nose. We were only little boys at the time and quarreled over something and b«d the usual fight. It wasn't my fault that he was disfigured for life. It was all the fault of some wretched doctor. Nowa days a boy's nose can be mended so that nobody can see that It ha* ever been broken. Let me tell you,’ he con tinued. that Thackeray never showed me any 111 will for the harm I had done him, and I do not believe he felt any.’" ol tlu* work we do—no matter li<r small the job—has a great deal t do with our success -in repairin vehicles.
