surging sea of horns.
One mile was thus run and part Of an
other, and the girl. bending low over the
horses neck, urged the animal to still
greater speed. while hope of escape
came to her heart
But at that instant the horse Stun
bled and fell to its knees, and she was
thrown forward to the ground
The horse recovered its footing and
sped away.
She arose, looked about her In daze
Of wonder, saw the herd almost upon
her, and in hopeless despair attempted
to run, but with a cry Of pain she sank
down helpless.
She had sustained sprain and could
not support her weight.
She heard the cattle as they swept up
nearer and nearer over the hard. dry
sod.
Another minute would bring them
upon her.
She shuddered and covered her face
with her hands.
Then she felt a pair Of strong arms
about her.
She was lifted up and set upon a
horses back
A man sprang quickly in front of her
to the saddle, and planting his spurs in
the animals side swept away at full
speed.
There were few minutes of uncer-
tainty, few minutes fraught with ter
ror, alternating with hope and despair.
Then 1t was over, and amid q wild
shout from the assembled cowsboys the
horse halted at the ranch while the herd
swept by but few yards away.
It was Deacon Jim who had saved Miss
Newell's life, and everybody agreed that
he had performed brave deed.
Even Arson and Alb admitted that.
Jim, however, considered his act Of
very little consequence except for the re-
suit, and he did not like to hear IL men
toned.
The next morning Miss Rose sent for
Jim, and blushing and trembling he went
to her room.
She was lying on couch looking more
beautiful than he had ever seen her be-
fore.
She thanked him profusely for her res
cue, and showed not only by language
but by her looks how truly grateful she
was.
How the deacon ever came to say 1t no
one could surmise, and even he could
never account for such boldness and au.
dacity.
Miss Newell" he said, ITO do you a
service Is glorious reward Of itself. To
save your life. believe me. Is a privilege
worth living for"
Then, blushing at his own temerity,
he arose to leave the room, but she held
out her hand to check him.
Soon 1t became noised about that the
deacon and Miss Newell were to be mar
ried In few days and that the deacon
was to become half owner of the ranch
This information was not pleasant K
Arson and Alb, but bitter as it was they
had to swallow 1t.
II can tell you how 1t came about,
said old Barton. "She's girl of sense
and it is not what man says or the way
no looks that takes with her, but it's tils
way he does. Jim won her by his &C.
tons. which appealed to her heart, while
you chaps tried to win her by your dress.

WHAT A CHANGE.

Mr.. Charles /. Carter, one of the Com
missioners appointed by the Provisional
Government of Hawaii TO confer with the
Government of the United States with
view to political union. writes over his
own name that after the lowering of the
American flag. which had been hoisted
over Hawaiian public buildings, Secretary
Gresham stated positively that the ad-
ministration had no intention of restor-
ing the Queen. AS it is not presuma bic
that Mr.. Gresham made a statement that
he did not at the time believe to be true, it
follows either that the Presidents intep-
tions were not then known to Gresham or
that the restoration of the Queen was an
afterthought.
There is perhaps no other public man
now holding high Office concerning whom
there is such diverse opinion as there IL
concerning Secretary Gresham. The flop
from the Republican party TO the Demo-
cratic was insignificant in consequence
impaired to the change in the character of
opinion held before and after the election.
AS Circuit Court Judge Gresham had
won the con fidence of all people not In the
service of CORPORATIONS and the respect of
corporation officials. His decisions were
able. honest and independent. He had
often been spoken of as the Republican
candidate for the Presidency by the Dor
ton of the party which held that cor
porations should be restrained He was
also regard ed in the broadcast sense of the
word an American. What a change, and
what could have caused such a change 4?

NOT TO THE POINT.

The London Post does not see how the
United States Government is to be kept
going 'amid the confusion and disorder
due to the corruption which professional
politicians introduced into every depart
ment." The Post has mistaken the cause
of what little embarrassment attends tie
transaction of public business In this coup-
try. 1t all grows out of the adoption by
the present administration of English poll
cies. Free trade ana the single gold
standard have caused so me disturbances to
our industries. but these will subside when
souDder policies ara adopted. The Post
also thinks the pension expenditures a
most scandalous item" In the opinion
OF the Post it is ali right to grant $4,000
annuities to mem bers of the royal family,
but scandalous to give disabled soldier

GOING BEHIND THE RETURNS.

One Of the questions to be determined in
the near future is the right of Congress to
establish the gold standard. The Federal
constitution provide s in effect tina: gold
and silver shall be legal tender for all
debts Gold or silver would leave the
option with Congress as to which should
be made the standard. but gold and silver
places money of both metals as the basis
of paper currency. 1t is only within re-
cent years that the contention has been
made that Congress might devolve upon
the money Of one metal the work the con-
stitutiOn designed for both. Up to the
present time the efforts of bimetallists
have been directed rather to show that
recommendation would be impoltic than to
bring the constitutionality of the single
standard proposition before the courts.
But there are even doubts if the act OF
1873 declaring gold the unit of value and
making no provision for the maintenance
of silver at parity as money of ultimate
redemption is in accord with the pro-
vision of the Federal constitution which
declares gold and silver full legal tender
money

COMING ROUND.

The New York Tribune says Of the new
Chinese registration act:
1t IS expe cted now that the Chinese will gen.
orally comply with the registration provision.
This is really no more of a hardship than the
requirement that citizens must register II they
wish to vote. which is recognized as a neces-
silly. The Chinese have had time now to be-
come acquainted with the law, and it stands
them in hand TO obey It.
This is taking more sensible view of
the law than has generally prevailed in
that locality. The importers of Chinese
laborers do not hesitate to expend from
$50 TO $500 to get a Chinaman into the
country. but declaim against the indignity
of requiring Chinese to register as condi-
ton OF remaining in the country. This
fact alone shows that the objection TO
registration is based upon the apprehen-
sion that Chinese imported after the
term of registration has expired Will not
be allowed in the country.

SENATOR HILL ON HORNBLOWER,

One of the secrets of the day which no
one has as yet divulged is the motive
which prompted the nomination of Mr..
HOrDblower to the Supreme Bench. Sem
ator Hill said when the name was sen: in
to the Senate that Hornblower was just
fair lawyer with no judicial experience
whatever. He had never been a Judge
even of an inferior court. He has APP
peared in the Federal courts thirteen
times and had lost ten of his thirteen
cases. Still when the Senate adjourned
in October without having acted upon
the nomination the President Gid not take
the hint. The name of the somewhat
noted corporation lawyer was sent to the
Senate a second time. and now awaits the
action of that body.

1t is not a barrier at all in the sense in
which strip of low land is a hundred or

a regulator than barrier to trade. Itpro-
notes all trade which is profitable; trade
which supplies one country with articles
it cannot well produce in exchange for
articles of which such country can produce
surplus. For example. it removes all
barriers to the importation of tea, coffee.
spices. drugs and some other articles which
cur climate or the conditions OF our labor

THE CHAMBER CONFERENCE.

Good should certainly result from the
conference held at the Chamber of Com
meTce on Wednesday. The labor problem
presented in this State is not attended
with great difficulty. 1t needs for solu-
ton only the cooperation of labor and
capital. There is work for every idle
man and woman now in the city or likely
to come. The city is somewhat in the
position Of family with a reasonable in
come which lives in idleness and EMPLOYS
two or three servants. We are all the
time paying large sums TO get work done
abroad that might as well be done at
home. OF course men out of work and
out of money cannot start new indus
trial enterprise. They can only furnish
one of the elements of production.
Capitalists and business men must do the
rest. That there can be combination of
forces which will afford permanent relief
to the unemployed. without loss to capital
is quite certain. But while industries are
being established the unemployed should
be set at work on some public improve
ment The employment of men at the
park four wears ago is an example of what
may be done again. There are now about
25OO men on the register, and probably
nearly as many women and children are
dependent upon the $500 for means of
subsistence. 1t is an imperative necessity
that relief in some form be provided. The
behavior of the unemployed up to the
present time has been admirable. They
are doubtless sustained in part by the
sympathy that has been manifested and
in part by hore of immediate relief. It is
for the business. men and capitalists of
the city TO say if their hope shall be dis
annofnfed
