"I'll 90 and see to it myself." cried
Mrs. Currie, fastening out of the room
But the power of this weapon had
already become fatally manifest. The
house was an old one, and dry as tin
der from the prolonged heat, and as
fast as the flames were quenched in
one place they broke out in another,
When day dawned the fire had al
ready got Il firm hold of one corner of
the building, and a crushing discharge
was poured upon all who attempted to
extinguishtd it, while the triumphant
yell Of the human tigers below told
them that they felt sure of their prey.
Its all over with us, old fellow"
said the colonel, grasping his old COM
rade's hand; ''but at least we shall
have done,our duty"

AT that moment Major Armstrong
was seen to start and bend forward, as
in listening intently for he thought
although he could scarcely believe his
ears-that he had suddenly caught a
faint sound Of distant firing
IN another instant he heard it again,
and this time there could be no more
doubt, for several of the others had
caught it likewise, and a CLEAN of hope
once more lighted up their haggard
faces and bio )Gshot eyes.
Louder and nearer came the welcome
sound, while the sudden terror and
confusion visible among .the enemy
showed that they, too, were at no loss
to guess its meaning.
Then high above all the din rose the

murderers as the sun chases the morn

''That boys worth his weight in
gold," said Col. Annesley, as a few
hours later, he listened to Ismail's ac-
count of how he had dived under the
boat and kept it between himself and
the Sepoys, that they might think
him drowned. He's the pluckiest

Western Cattle-Raising.
EXTENT OF THE BUSINESS AND HOW
1T is CONDUCTED.

Nearly all the cattle men of wyOm-
ing are getting out of Texas cattle and
are breeding up their COW herds and
getting young stock from the extreme
Western country, Idaho Oregon and
Washington Territory. The drive
from the above points into Wyoming
this year has been about $50, 900 head,
which found ready market. All the
country lying north of the Union Pa
citic Railroad is considered better than
the country South Of it, on account of
grass, winter range and water. The
loss to stocF in that country per year Is
very light, not being over , to ) per
cent, and very seldom reaching ) per
cent. A ranch of $40 head can be run
for one year at an expense of 81 per
head. With a ranch of 10, 900 head the
cost would average from IS to 50 cents
head, and - 900 head would not cost
much over 80 cents head. 1t requires
| to run ranch. say for 5000 head

months and ten men during the sum

During a cold storm they generally
move with it, and keep going till they
get into sheltered place in some "a
vine or behind ledge, travelling some
times in this way twenty-five miles
during heavy storm. But to what
ever distance they may stray during
the winter when spring comes they
are driven back to their respective
ranges without loss, where the herds
men attend to them until the winter
sets i'll again. AT one 'round-up' last
spring there were thirty five men,

cation, and is commanded 10y captain

having entire charge over the opera
tons. The cattle are all separated at
cording to the brands denoting their
owners, and then started back to their
ranges. The calves are also branded
and again turnesfloose with the herd.
The operation of collecting, separating
and branding at a roundup occupies
about two months before the cattle are
got back, during which the whole
country is secured by the cowboys 1t
