and mettle hardly to be looked for in
other than the genuine iwe-hoixe.
But he is not a race-horse -at least,
not yet.
All thix time Vatiiibn is holding a
pair f warm, small hands tighi-y'
within his own. and looking down
with a very tender express. on itno a
pair of very lovely brown eye.?. U
this girl pretty ? Certainly herji-.

gether tittractive, as more than
anghn will testify. Finally thev
part, hi3 last injunction i'citio thai
she mtt t bo rady by" 1:30 the fal
lowing day. . .
Half-past I comes at la-t, and the
shining buggy drives up in spanking
style. Vaughn hurries in, and get's
a sensation as"t'ie pretty ";si n in the
parlor snds him aeocpictfljh glance.
Vuighn says nor a word, but wrap
her in the itievitible nl-.ter, and then,
by a quick movement, swings her up
into his arms and cariien her bodio
out to the buggy
'You wicked boy," she whi.-pers,
but she is nor cro-s. so he c!ap her
a very little closer, and wishes he bad
a milo or more to go. But they are
in the bugay now, speeding toward
i he race-track. .
Thev have a delightful afternoon
and Vaughn 'makes tip. his mind to
afk he all.-mpnientbns question on
the way home. - They will s ari di
rectly and he is wondering feverishly
what she will answer when allatonee
he hears her give a queer lithe gasp,
and looking around eos sulky Joe
Daiton at her otli r side. Da ton j
madly in love wi'h M ick, and she is
the; least woe bit afraid of his gloomy,
black eyes. She prefers blue--Vaughn's
aruvof the bright cut blue. Hai
ton is speaking, '! thought you
were not coming out today," be j-jixs,
with a fierce glan e at Vaughn. -;
i suppo-e 1 am at liberty to change
inv mind,"'savr' saucy Mack, and
give him such an icy look that bis
faco pales under it.
'Well," he cries at length "thero
is one tiling von have got ro make
lirryourmmd about and atonco ; and
that is winch or ns you aie going
to marry."
Mack stares at nun in dismay,
but he 4s re- lute.
4 say,y.iughn," ho begins again,
"la't's race for her. I - have a go'xl
horse and so have you. Wo wnl
start from hwv and whoever reach
es her house first - is to be tbe happy
man. .
Vaughn laughs at the idea of such
a thing. . 'Why don't you ak her to
have you. and take your answer,
whatever it may be, like a man?' he
says. But jlack claps her small
hands and gives a delighted consent.
She thinks it will be something
quite out of the ordinary run of
things to have thee two men engage
iu a bonah'de race for her hand. She
believes that Vaughn has the best
horso and can easily win tho race,
ami she knows now tlut she loves
nim. At last Vaughn iield, aud it
is arranged iha' Mack is to go home
on the rain with a party of friends.
They see her safely aboard, and then
hurry off to lighten their respective
rigs as much as possible and see that
tno horises are in good shape.
third friend is taken into i heir con
fidetice, and aCi as starter. Just
be f tire they leave, this young man
takes Vaughn a-nle and whip-rs
"Look out for Oaltou. - lie ook'

-They set off and iiow the agony

looks ahead ' aniTirces a que--r sight

In a"ery short time Va'tghn is at

and every, individual bail is standing
straight on his head ; his face is be
smeared with pre?pi ration and several
layers of dust; his do he are torn
atid covered with, dust and foam
from the horse's mouth, and alto
gether he is a remarkable sight.
After he has duly surveyed himself
he turns onco more to Mack. "I am
going to "ash up," ho say?, "and
When I return I have a que! ion to
ask of you. Will you listen ?"
r But Mack does not answer. She
has discovered that the hand she is
holding is cut and bleeding, aud all
her saucmess has left her.
Looking down into thi misty,
brown eyes Vaughn sees that which
tells him his answer will bo to his
liking.
