Faster and more eagerly she pushed
on, regardless of torn skirts and bleed
ing hands. The thin shoes she wore
on sharp-pointed rocks, but she did not
heed, and almost before she was aware
the summit was gained. In vain she
tried to distinguish the riders. Dark
shadows held the valleys. and a white
mist lay like a river in the lowest
depths.
Downward she plunged on a course
that she knew would bring her out near
the cabin, taking long needless strides
that would have been impossible in a
less impassioned hour. Her climb
seemed to have taken so long-would
she be in time?
In shorter time than had seemed
possible the cabins dark form doomed
up before her. She listened in the
deepening night for sound of an inmate.
Had the cavalcade of horsemen been
there and departed with their victim?
A sound came to her ears from the
edge of bluff to the right of the cabin
where a steep slope reached down to a
bubbling brook. 1t was groan. She
hurried in that direction. Some one
was suffering below. 1t was not diff
cult to get down the declivity, and in a
moment she was approaching a man
who lay by the edge of the water,
holding one of his legs with his hands
in agony.

groaned again.
1t was very dusk by this time, but
Lois could see the flash of brass buttons
on the strangers coat and the deter
mination to assist him was stronger
than ever.

will bring you help"

Lord Northbroolz gave us for the Cal
cutta Zoo a fine pair of the large black
Himalayan bears. Owing to the care
lessness OF the native keeper in charge
of these animals the mother ate a cub
to which she had given birth, and after
ward she pinned and died. The male
was fairly tame, and would stand up
against the rails of its den and eat grass
from my hand. We could get any
number of the common black plains
bear, and COR these little gentlemen we
had bear pit, with two tall poles in
it, up which they used to climb
and get buns, etc, from the public, as
was once the fashion in the Lon
don Zoo.
We received so many of these little
black bears that we were obliged to dc
a small business in bears skins and
bears grease, for even small bear
costs something to feed. We had some
difficulty in getting the Cashmere Isa-
belline bears. once bought one that
was performing in the streets of Cal
cutta, but its teeth had been pulled out
and its nose mutilated by the muzzle
that it wore when it was going through
its street performances.
A military friend sent us down from
Cashmere two fine little cubs of this
breed. They We're about six months
old and very friendly, being about the
size of a collie dog, but their long hair
made them look bigger. We put them
into a comfortable house. with strong
iron gratings eight feet high, and a
tree for them to climb up in the center
of their house. We had forgotten that
this house had only mat-and-thatch
roof, and we did not suspect our young
friends of wishing to escape. They,
however, thought differently. One
night they climbed up to the roof, made
a great hole in it and escaped.-Long-

and on to the spreading prairies during
the decade and a half following the
war had many side eddy and even oc-
casional backward sweep. 1t was one
of the former that, leading to the white
topped wagon of the Brakes from the
main-traveled road, guided it to a
resting place among the picturesque
Ozark mountains OF Missouri.
There's timber there an hills" said
Mr.. Brake, when his wife and daughter
petitioned for claim" on the level
plains nearer the feet of the Rockies,
IAN I've lived among trees an hills too
much of my life back in Virginny to get
along without 'em."
So they lived among the hills as be-
fore, and Lois Brake took up the duties
of life which seemed likely to go on to
the end with little change. She taught
the mountain school and looked with
disfavor upon the advances of the
SWANS of the neighborhood. She was
paid grudgingly for the first and pun
ished for the second by being referred
to as an ''Old maid"
To be sure she was approaching mid
die life, but her heart cherished as ten
der love as warmed the cheeks of the
bellies of the community. 1t was an
ideal of which she never spoke; for.
when Harold Brooks donned the union
colors and went to battle, Mr.. Blake,
whose sy:apathies were with the gray,
declared that his name should never be
spoken in the house again. He could
enforce his wishes in this respect, but
he could not deprive his daughter of
recollection, nor did he chide her grief
when word came after great conflict
that her lover had been killed and his
form huddled into grave of unknown
dead, unidentified and unmarked.
On a late spring day, which was
really early spring up among the shell
tered ravines and valleys of the hills,
Lois slowly threaded her way among
the spreading walnuts and oaks, return
ing home from school.
She was Respondent, wearied with
the grind of daily labors, and was
thankful for the solitude of the mar
row mountain path. Suddenly voices
sounded just ahead and she listened.
Hes spyin' out something, you can
jest depend" said a harsh speaker
whom she recognized by the tone as
Ferril, the blacksmith. "You know
what happened ter a Teller over on tn
Smoky hill, last summer, don't you?'
he continued.

the school trustee.

@'Served him right. Might hev been
worse an not hurt nothin'."
This is a free country" spoke a
cool, sarcastice voice which Lois could
not identify.

A SOLDIERS GRAVE.

Glad robins singing in the boughs,
Low murmur OF the bees,
a hillside burying-ground closed round
With wilding apple-trees;
The snowy flowers drift softly down
Upon the quiet graves,
And IN the south wind over one,
y small flag gently waves.
Those floating colcrs make for me
That grassy mound shrine.
What though the one who sleeps beneath
Knew naught Of me or mine2
Yet that brave life. quenched long ago,
Seems Of my own q part;
For he who dies for freedom, lives

sent the following:

untiring efforts OF President Hendryx for
the past six years in endeavoring to build
and establish a national university in our
midst, an effort that has sacrificed his
health and nearly cost him his life.
That we realize and know that the TACT
that his mission has not been fully &C
compished is not due in any sense TO lack
of energy and business ability on his part
but to circumstances over wnIch he mad no
control.
That regardless Of the means and
agencies which may at any future time
be CONT ined 10 place Garfield university
upon the high plane as aR educational in
stltutiou which Ii was originally intended
to occupy. That the honor of being its
founder. its chief strength and support,
during the years which have elapsed from
the time ground was first broken for the
foundation To the present. shall ever be
his, and that we deeply regret that the
hour has come when failing health has
caused him to give up these arduous duties
and responsibilities
Resolved, That the Wichita Daily
EAGLE and the Wichita Daily Beacon be
requested to publish these resolutions.

A special meeting Of the city council
was called for last night but as there was
not quorum present it was not called to
order. The object Of the meeting was to
take some action in regard to policy shops
now running within the city, it
being the opinion of some attorneys that
there is no ordinance prohibiting it.
Councilman Tucker, however, believes
that the present ordinance against
gambling generally is broad enough to Sc
cure conviction under. Joe Henley was
present last night and undertook to ex-
plain the intricacies of the game to the
councilmen. They became interested and

In commenting upon the oratorical con-
test at the university the first of the week,
in which Charlie Lease was a contestant,
TO the Wichita boy:
Young Mr.. Lease of Wichita, the son
Of Mrs. Mollie Lease, about whom the
newspapers have had so much to say since
he entered the contest, was the second
speaker. He depicted in glowing terms
and graphic language the greatness aud
goodness of the Jewish race, tracing its
interesting history from primeval days
down to the present time and finally draw
ing parallel with modern times and pre-
dieting that all must come to recognize
right He was perfectly at home on the
stage, aud has magnificent voice. His
gestures were too numerous and were not
good, but if he keeps on by the time he is
as old as his mother he will be an orator.
