-mechanically he walked down the
track to the stables, with wistful '
ayes strained to cateh one glimpse of
'Judge Morrow, the gallant little arti-

;With slow feet. judge Morrow was
standing at the door, surrounded by
an admiring group, as were all the
rest of the noble steeds. Suddenly
the colt lifted his head and listened,
Ile had caught the sound of familiar
footsteps; he saw hina and before
those about him could realize what
he was about to do, he had plunged
suddenly forward and reached Glen-

•
Von, Then it was 'decided to accept
his offer, as he was but 0, trine heav-
ier than the rider who had been tak-
en 111 so suddeely. Quickly the change
was effected. An instant later the
bugle sounded, the paddock gate
swung open, and the thousand
sounds and cries of the rece-track
were mellowed up in 0, deafening
rear of applause es the horses came
tearing down the track, prancing
and cevortieg toward the grand
stand,
There Were thirta thousand faces
spread out like a vast sea before
him, yet Glendenning saw, at the
first glance, but oue in all that
vast concourse—the white, anxious,
beautiful face of Olive Kneeland shin-
ing like a star before him, guiding
him on to victory,
He saw kier lean forward and
watch the horses intently, and when
she saw little Judge Morrow she
clasped her bands entreatingly to-
gether, turning deadly pain She did
not even observe the rider, her gree
was riveted so intently upon the
horse.
Suddenly he saw her turn and
whisper to a young girl sitting be-
side her, and he recognized her'cona-
panion at once—sweet, .gentle, fair-
haired Nannie, Olive's true little
friend. And oven in that moment the
thought came to him Mite loyal
annimie was to her friend; even the
loss of Olive's fortune made no dif-
ference to her, and in his heart he
blessed Nannie for that quality of
sweet and noble sympathy which en-
deared her so to those who knew
her He looked anxiously about for
his brother Oscar, as he grew a lit-
tle more accustomed to discerning
faces at that distance, and as he
came toward them. No, Oscar was
not with Olive. To the, right of her,
and leaning over Newlin his fiancee,
was Mr. Armstrorign his face and
keen, dark eyes all aglow, watching
Judge Morrow eagerly, as though he
were mentally summing up his
chances of success. .
Glendenning had no thee to lose in
further observation, His whole atten-
tion must be absorbed by his horse;
for now they had reached the grand
stand, and, amid the wildcheering;
the riders were attempting to form
the animals into line. This was' at
last accomplished. There was an in-
stant of expectancy, then the flag
dropped, and away they new down
the curved road like swallows, the
gay colors of the riders Bashing in
the sunshine, and the great race had
begun.
For a moment it is one pell-mell
rush. On, on they fly, like giant
greyhounds from the leash, down the
gray track, until they are but Slow-
moving specks in the distance. Then
on they come again, thundering past
the grand stand, at a maddening
pace, with Pessara in the lead, a
dozen horses dashing like the wind
•
at Ms heels, and Judge Morrow—
poor Judge Merrowl—fully a score
of yards behind. A mad shout goes
tip for Pessara. But the wiser ones
notice that judge Morrow is run-
ning well within himself, and that
there is game in the gallant little
horse that the rider is holding back
With a steady hand, and there is ati
answering shout, "Judge Morrow!
judge Morrow!"
Whit to the lips, Olive Kneeland
sits and watches Nannie's hand
ctheps conitclingly to hers, cold as
lumps of ice,and clasps them gent-
ly.
"All of the borses show Signs ef
the terrible strain—all save your
littie Judge Morrow. Ile is fresh as
a daisy," murmurs Harry -Arm-
strong, hopefully, But Olive does not
answer; her lips are mute. To see
little' Judge Morrow attuning at that
frightful pace almost stuns her, She
feels like sobbing aloud, but the great
crowd about hen bold her in check.
Again the gallant steeds are specks
in the distance. Now they pass the
curve and are on the 'homestretch,
dashing swiftly on to the ileish,
Nearer, heater sounds the thunder of

Pessara begins to show signs of
lineal:tenth •and distress; the foam
covers his chest,' and his eyes flash.
It is all his rider cart do to urge hini
onward with knee, spur, and lash.
There is only one more rod to cover.
Pessara and , Judge Morrow are side
by side, neck to ueek, both increas-
ing their speed with every whirling
stride. Suddenly Pessara falters ever
so slightly. -Men and women hold
their breath. Then, quick as a flash,
as if shot from a bow, gallant little
Judge Morrow passes him by a, lap.
It is done so swiftly, so suddenly,
and so masterfully that a great cry
of delight breaks trona the vast mul-
titude of spectators.
One instant more, and the cry has
deepened into a mighty, deafening
yell. Little Judge Morrow, with a
passionate strain of mighty muscle,
and the tense glare of straining eye-
balls, like a bird passes under the
wire and past the grand 'stand, and a
moment later the victor stands pant-
ing and trembling at the spot where
they have led Olive Kneeland.
The girl forgets the great throng;
the man who has gallantly ridden
hiin on to victory and to fortune for-
gets .every thing but the panting,
beautiful home whom the eager thou-
sands are crowding and pushing one
another wildly to catch a glimpse -of.
And in the excitement Roger Glend-
enning slips away quite unnoticed in
the crowd.
The next morning's paper gave a
full account of the great raw, to-
gether with the encouraging report
that little Judge Morrow had been
solcl for a great sum, and the money
had been paid cash down on • the
spot to the fair young girl who
owned him. Considerable comment
Was made in reference to the sudden
di•sappearance of the man who had
ridden him; and it further stated 'in
the article that it wag to be hoped
he would put in an appearance at
once and receive the congratulations,
and, better still, the motley that,
awaited him. The same _paper else
stated that Miss Kneeland would
take the Albany boat that evening
to join the judges
Glendenning could mane aecount for
the impulse which prompted him to
take the same boat, though it cost
hbn the last doper he had in the
world. As soon as. he stepped on
deck he saW her, standing. at the

liad leaned far over the rail now,
gazing intently down into the white -
capped waves that (tested their
foamy crest almost up to the decit
in their sportive play. Suddenly, tes
he watched her, the boat gave an un-
expected lurch forwent; then those on
deck heard a shrill, sharp cry of
terror, and almost before they could
realize what was happening, they
saw tho girl lose her balance and
fall headlong down into the water,
and ere they could reach the spot the
mad waves had cloSed over her.
13ut simultaueously with that pit-
eous cry there rose another, full of ,
sharp horror, and they saw the man
who had been standing near, her
throw 'off his coat and hat and
plunge in after the girl.
In an instant the wildest commo-
tion reigned; the bells wore rung,
passengers crowded to the clocks, and
the most intense excitement prevail-
• ed.
The steamer had dashed on fully a
furlong ere it could be stopped.
Boats were quickly lowered, bat
every face was 'blanched. No one had
, seen either the girl or the young man
who had sprung so nobly to her re-
• appear after the waves had
swallowed them.
Tbree, four minutes aassed, the
length of eternity to the men who
sat in the skiff, which was shooting
about with the rapidity of lightning,
wherever a dark .object could be dis-
eerned on the waves.
At length they beheld a white hand
cleave the dark water, and an in-
stant later two heads appeared above
the waves, then sink quite as quick-
ly,
"Pull, lads—pull with a with.' cried
the 'mail in the stern of the boat.
"It's all up with them, I fear; they.
must have gone down then for the
third time." But at that moment
they. all ,seave the. White hand thrust
from the waves again, and knew that
the brave rescuer, with his heavy
burden, Was making superhuman ef-
forts to keep above water, and that
Ms strength would iiot last him
many seconds longer. They shouted
to him lustily, and he heard them,
and caught the rope they !twig out to
him, and in less time than it takes to
tell it he was drawn into the skiff,
still grasping his dripping, almost
lifeless burden, and was soon drawn
on board the steanier.
Gentle hands relieved his stiffened
arms of their burden, and while re-
storatives were •applied to the young
lady and the work of resuscitation
was pushed rapidly forward, others
turned their attention' to the young
hero, who, as soon as he realized
that they were safe on deck and the
danger over, fell back in a deep
swoon.
As they bent over him, forcing
brandy between his tvinte lips, the
attendapts iti charge made a start-
ling discovery—tho man had been in
disguise! The action of the water
had almost removed the black dye
from his face, his hair, and his
31onde moustache, and they found that
he was very fair, instead of the dark
young man he liad appeared.
They went quietly to , the captain,
telling what a, strange discovery they
had made, and he decided that the
proper course to pursue would be to
keep the young man strider strict sur-
veillance Ilan he could ascertain who
andwhat he Was.
13y this time the boat had reached
Albaby, and everybody hastened
ashore, all save Miss Kneeland.
Judge Kneeland, thousat very weak
from his recent illness, had come
down in a menage to the boat to
meet his daughter.

she might recognize it, as he had
torn it from a paper she had once
loaned him and which she was after -

Turning slowly trona his out-

that he had never notieed before, she
swept out of the cabin and down to
the dock, and hurried toward the
carriage in which she 'saw her father
awaiting aa

life which she never afterward for-

thins filled her lined and teemed in
her brain. Should she tell her father
of her narrow escape from death,
and who saved, her? or should She
simply mention that she had come
fare to face with Roger Glendenning?

realized that in less time theta it

"Why do you not answer? Did you
not hear me'?" exclaimed the judge,
irritably. "1—i"
Before he could conelude the sen-
tence Olive's head had fallen heavily
forward on her breast, and she slip-
ped from the seat beside him to his
feet in a death -like swoon.
The judge was thoroughly fright-
ened, Ile drove quiekly to the near-
est drug -store, which, fortunately
enough, was in close proximity, and
restoratives were quickly applied,
and in less than ten minutes later
the judge was greatly relieved to
see Olive open her eyes.
"Now, what in the world caused
the girl to go 011 like that?" he
mused, never ,dreanaing that his
qiiestion had tha slightest thing to
do with it, concluding that the great
excitement which she had undergone
during the past few days had told
upon her delicate nerves. "Do you
feel better now, Olive?" he asked,
anxiously, as he helped her into the
coupe again to drive home.
• "Yes, quite well, pane," she as-
sented—a little wearily he thought—
as she leaned back among the cush-
gthuri's‘53.L', fink° to put in a personal, if

to her as if a hand heavy as death
lay on her lips' and held them fast.
"Tans about your romances," went
on the judge, quickly; "why, 'what I
have just heard would make the fu-
ture of a novelist, if one could get
hold of it who could work it up
right. You know seine of us thought
Roger was burned in that fire, while
others felt sure he escaped,"
Oliva nodded faintly. Every Word
seemed like the sharp thrust " of a
sword through her heart, "Ah.
Heaven! had her lather recognized
him'?" It seemed like an age to her
until he uttered the next words.
"I wish that I could ascertain his
fate beyond all shadow of doubt,"
he Werit on, thoughtfully, "for I
have just learned through papers for-
warded me to -day that he was est-
tirely hutment of that forgery, and
that his villainous brother Oscar
was the real criminal. *Oscar met
with a terrible accident in Phila-
delphia, yesterday, which resulted in
his death a few flours later, and on
his death -bed he made a, full confes-
sion to a hotary whom he heal sum-
moned. Now listen, Olive, and see if
you have ever heard anything like
it. This Oscar forged say name to a
note, thinking he would have ample
thne to take it up ere it should fall
due. In this he miscalculated, and
on the day when it must leak out,
he came aud conftened to his broth-
er Roger that he bad done, throw-
ing 'himself on his mercy to aid him
itt raising the motley to take hp the
note and save himself. Roger, in
liis great indignation and anger, bit-

younger brother thought of a elever

THE PLEASANT MAN.
"He is a very pleasant man to meet
and converse with, is he not?" Thin
was the remark passed by a gentlemart
reoently who was oonversing with an-
other. His query was greeted with
silence by the cute it was addreased to.
A few moments later the one addres-
sed carelessly began to say:
