Hone, Doctor And (Sirl c By FRANK H. SWEET Cwk 1904, W Faat K SaM There wal a flash ao blinding that Dr. Tom Howard loed bia j-w and the horse threw up his head with a whinny of terror, then almost Instant ly came a crash as of a thousand can non, which rolled across the mountains In t reverberation of receding echoes. After that all was aa It had been be fore Inky black. Dr. Tom bent his face to btoIJ th alant of rain, at the same time touch' lng the horse's flank encouragingly with his hand. Bnt they could go no faster, as he knew, for the hone was picking his way down the mountain side step by step, with nose forward as though emeUliig the way and with ears alert for sounds that might indl cate their course. Ahead were patients who might ba needing him, to whom his coming might be the difference between life and death. Henceforth his life must be his work. His patients were not to be divided even with the girl be had hoped to make his wife. At first he had thought she would reconsider, re lent, but her sudden departure, with out note or explanation, had meant It was to be the end. He did not even know to what part of the world she had gone. He had already been away from home twenty-four hours ou a Journey of forty miles Into the mountains to save a man who had been accidentally shot, and now, against the advice ot hardy mountaineers, was. forcing bis way back In the very teeth ot one of the fleroe hill storms. From time to time his hand went back to pat the horse's alsnk encour agingly, and at every contact of the hand the horse started forward a little more briskly in an effort to please him, only to return almost Instantly, how ever, to the alow, cautions gait, as if realising that It was absolutely neces sary to their aafety. Soon there came another blinding flash even aa the hand once more dropped upon the flank, and Dr. Tom's face blanched a little, for directly In front of them was a yawning fissure. ; After that for a time he allowed tb horse to choose the way, with the reins hanging loosely serosa his neck. The horse's nose and ears and Instinct were "I AX SB. BOWABD," EX SAID. safer than the man's Impatience. More than once a lightning's flash revealed a black hole in front or to one side, with Jagged, precipitous slopes rlalng or falling beyond, but always under the horse's careful feet waa firm footing, sometimes a narrow shelf scarcely wid er than was necessary for them to pass, sometimes a declivity so steep that the animal's haunches almost touched the rock as he picked bis way down. Bnt the progress was slow, slow criminally slow It seemed to the Impa tient doctor,, who wanted to be at his work. i Presently from brief glimpses obtain ed in the flashings be realized they were swerving far out of their course, and be caught up the reins with a quick, determined grasp. Obediently the horse turned back to ward the straight line, but a few min utes later, when another flash came, be was beading in the old direction. Again he ftas turned, sharply, and again be went on In a straight course for a few steps, only to swerve once more to his chosen way in the inky blackness which followed the flashings. Again and again did Dr. Tom swing him to the direct line, with increasing Impatience and harshness, and Just aa often did the horse swerve promptly to bis own course. With the rain and wind beating In bis face, stumbling over rough ground and sometimes among trees where the branches al most swept him from the saddle. Dr. Tom could only Judge the course by the lightning. In the darkness the horse had his own way, and In the darkness the horse persisted In choos ing the one which Dr. Tom believed to be wrong. But apparently there was no help for it, and at last, defeated, be allowed the reins once more to hang loosely npon the horse's neck. -Graduallx above the ruarlog .pJLlhe storm there had Wu rtaiitganbtfit-r sonnd-peculiar, menacing In Its per latency and suddenly Intelllgtble. Dr. Tom drew a quick breath, and his hand went to the horse's' ueck lit ca reusing apology. The branch which had been eaaily forded ou the way up had become a raging torrent with the gathering of the heavy rainfall and was now. tearing down the mountain, unloosening rocks and uprooting trees In Its wild course. Had they stumbled Into Its mad waters m the darkness there would have been Utte chance ot emerging alive. -And the horse's al red course meaut that he waa pick kg lus way toward the bridge at the ferry road, the only way to get beyond the branch and river and so home. An hour went by, and the steeper slopes were left behind. They were com lug to a more level country that could bV crossed with greatos speed. Dr. Tom waa mentally counting up the miles and the hours It would take to traverse them when be saw a light twinkling Just ahead. Apparently it was a man with a lantern going In the same direction and running as well as he was able to in the darkness. Dr. Tom urged his horse forward. "Hello!" he Bhouted cheerily as he drew near. "What are you doing out In night like thlsT Better go back to your bed!" In the storm's rour the voice sounded hoarse and unnatural. The man put his hand to his ear inquiringly and waited for the horse to approach. Dr. Tom could se the Bi,ure dimly by the lantern's light, but was himself almoat invisible. . "Goin' for o doctor!" the man yelled as the horse came opposite. "My daughter's hurt an must have help at once. Are you p'lntwl toward the ferry bridger "Yea." "Well," with what sounded like a great sob of thankfulness, "s'pose ye seud a doctor up to my place quick Bill Saybrook's. ou the slope, a half mile from here. Te can go a lot qnleker'n I can. Send anybody. Mol lis said Dr. Tom Howard. She wants him, but be ain't so handy 's Dr. Pe ters, an' we must have somebody at once." Dr. Tom had caught his breath sharply and leaned forward. Tie placed a hand upon the mau's shoulder. "I am Dr. Howard." he said. "Is It Mollie Saybrook you mean, the one who taught school at the Corners?" The, niau held up his lantern, and now the sob was unmlHtukable. Tear were streaming down his face. ' "The Lord sent ye." he choked. "'Taint no man'a work In this. It's a miracle. I knowed In my heart I couldn't get no doctor here In time, but I would kill myself a-tryln'. Come." He caught the bridle In his band and struck directly Into a thicker growth of trees straight toward his cabin, cry ing, and laughing In the same breath and talking Incoherently'' to himself and the doctor. " "r-':: Mollie was sleeping peacefully, out of danger, when Dr. Tom left the cabin at daylight and turned his horse to ward the bridge at the ferry. As be rode along at a brisk pace there waa a rapt look on the young doctor's face. "Perhaps it was the Ixrd,n he said to the horse as his band went softly to the animal's neck. "Who knows? But you were the messenger and forced me Into my happiness." I Krrrhak" Did It. A train on a new railroad was run ning down a grade, says the Kansas City Star, when one of the side rods of the engine broke. The train stopped at the foot of the grade with the good cylinder "on center," and when the broken side lmd been uncoupled the engine could not be started. The engineer, the conductor and the passengers took turns trying to devise a way to start it. At last a farmers boy crawled through a barb wire fence and came over to make a suggestloa "Why don't you let 'er go kerchunk?" be asked. "What?" demanded the conductor, not grasping the idea. "Why, let 'er go kerchunk. Unhitch the last car and shove 'er up the grade a ways. Then let 'er come down ker chunk against the train. That'll bump 'er along some." The railroad men Bniffed contemptu ously, but the passengers sided with the boy, so at last it was decided to try his scheme. All hands turned to and pushed the car a little way up the hill. Then it was Bent, with IncreaHlng speed, back against the train, which it struck with the foreseen "kerchunk." The "kerchunk" did the work. The en gine was bumped off center, the en gineer girt it enough steam to keep It slowly moving, the passengers scram bled aboard, and the one legged outfit limped away on its Journey. Fraud Exposed.
