To return to the two' riders whom wc
deft on the way to Sonicrville. Chatting i
pleasantly, they Tode on slowly, enj-tying <
the cool al'ernoon air, till they stopped at ;
the summit of n hill which overlooked the "i
little village. At the foot of the hill was i ]
u stream, narrow, but running with that (
slow motion which shows deep water, and t
ns the young men stopped, their eyes fell |
upon a young horsewoman who was up- , i
proaching the bridge which spanned tlie i
water. It was bat one wide plank, yet the '
rider rode fearlessly forward, keeping her t
horoo at an easy trot. She wore u black J
cloth habit and a small black bat, and the t
tiny hands were covered with black gaunt- n
lets, Ilcr hair was braided in wide braids, j
fouching oaeh cheek, and the rich crimson y
/.here showed that sho had not long been fi
-riding at her present tyoderato pane. 11 er
lior.se, u tall white uuiiuel, strongly built, y
jo iked more like a dragoon's charger than v
11 lady's steed, and ho carried hi* head in 1
a way that betokened plenty of spirit, yet ji
Jtlio lit.'le hand that held the rein* showed j,
A sleajy, it in group that mgued well lor
the rider's ability to manage him. 1 j,
The middle of the frail bridge was ti
readied, whfui a loud shoutfrom some boys VN
playing on the hank of the stream, startled y
/ho h nrse, an 1 with a quick hound lie lost I ,j
his footing on the plank, and fell into the (J|
water, (^uick ns lightning. George njid w
Nofnian started down the patli to the b.mk .

was erpial to the emergency. Keeping her
horse's head well up, sho urged him to ]j|
swim. Ilo struggled bravely, but the, t
heavy cloth habit becoming sat stated with ?
water, Was dragging her down from tho
saddle, snd lie made but slow progress. j
1'alo us tubes, evidently cxjuicting to loso j(|
her scat, the young girl still kept hor pros- ' ,|,
onco of mind, and in u clear voice onootir-,
used her horse. " flood Hector! Forward, y|

greeting as ho received her in his arms. u

voice, "lean never, never express my | t

" Let mc ffitroduce Lieutenant Grant!" j
said George. We were on our way to your ,

And leading 11 ctor up, he oflbicd his j

The evening passed pleasantly, 1 u4 the 1

young men referred to the adventure of 11

.lie last time they went there together; not
hat the visits made by Heorge w 'C less

daughter, k'olingthat to (jait the farm in
tho middle ol the lease would bo the ruin

m the work, nnd was soon nrunouuecd to
be tin but conductor oi'u plow in the com*
