him is as follows:
You'd hardly believe, now, what am
going to tell. In Texas We use raw-hide
straps, or thongs, for traces, and in wet
weather they do stretch amazingly. Why,
often in damp weather I've hitched up 70
horses and drove down the hill from my house
into tho creek bottom for a sled load of wood,
have loaded the wood and many times
driven back home and unhitched the horses
and the sled wOuld not be in sight"
Chow did you get the wood home then ?''
asked an inquisitive bystander.
"Oh, 1 just tied the ends of the traces
together and threw them over post, went
knocking about my work and waited till the
sun shone out. Sometimes it would be more
than two hours before that sled load of wood
would get home, but you'd see her crawling
up the hill at last, gradually approaching as
the raw hide traces shrunk up into their
proper lengths. Yes, Texas is great cOun-

with such rapidity that it was feared that all
the inmates would perish. Suddenly thero
was cry that ono little girl had been lefi in
her room. AS tho excited spectators wsre
beginning to pray for tho unfortunate, tall
girl, with disheveIled blonde hair and flowing
night gown, ran through the crowd. and with
a shrek of "Ill save her! !" that arose above
the sound of cracking timber and fallen ma>
sonry, dashed into the doorway. A hurrsh
that was prolonged to the echo, only to be re-
peatcd again, attracted the attention of tho
devotees, and the pale faced girl was seen
hurrying through the flames with the terrified
child. A few days thereafter King Louis
Philippe sent the heroine gold medal for
her bravery, and captain Of tho Froneh
