Ho reached the city in a etrangely per. turbed state of mind, quits unusual to Ills cheery nature. Was it fate that cauied him to give the order to, the cab -driver as he took hie seat: "To the park?" At the gate he dismissed the cab, pre ferring to stroll through the grounds on foot, tehipted by the beauty of the spring morning, . He had scarcely reached the first curve of the serpentine road, -ere he heard is sound that made his very heart almost Cease heating..

The kicl bridle had snapped asunder, and the leanly adder hltd lost all'control 91 the spirited. animal. Percy could see that it Mtn only a ques- tion of a' few brief instants ere the ter- rified girl would be dashed from the pad- dle -meeting certain death by ntriking one of the trees that lined either side of the road. Rig' face paled as Inc B&W her danger. In an instant he had made up his mind What course to pursue. Ste would save the poor girl's life or he would die in the attempt. On, with the opeed of tho wind, came the coal -black horse,- and again a wild, piteous cry floated ou to Percy's ears, add that nay nerved him for the terrible or- deal that followed. Ile gaW that the maddened animal must ease 'within '0 yard from the point where he stood, fairly rooted to the spot, and, if it shouldawerVe a single hair's breadth In his direction, the plunging iron hoofs would crush him.

The words of thanks died on her iips as she Saw who it was to whom she owed her life, 'Ito would never have elived ine bad he known it was X,' she thought bitterly.
