CHAPTER n-CoNrNuEp
She had reached the outskirts of the
city, when she found the road blocked
by great drove of cattle, driven by a
half-dozen wild-looking herdsmen from
the plains. In her impatience she en-
deavored to pass this obstacle by push
ing her horse into what appeared TO be
q gap. Scarcely had she got fairly in
to it, however, before the beasts closed
in behind her, and she found herslf
completely embedded in the moving
stream of fierce-eyed, long-horned
bullocks. Accustomed as she was to
deal with cattle, she was not alarmed
at her situation, but took ad-
vantage of every opportunity to urge
her horse on in the hope of pushing
her way through the cavalcade. Un-
fortunately, the horns of one of the
beasts, either by accident or design,
came in violent contact with the flank
of the mustang, and excited it to mad
ness. In an instant it reared up on Its
hind legs with snort Of rage, and
pranced and tossed in a way that
would have unseated any but a most
slSillful rider The situation was full
OF peril. Every plunge Of the ex-
cited horse brought it against the
horns again, and goaded v to
fresh madness. Il was all that

Young jefferson Hope rode on with
his companions, gloomy and taciturn.
He and they had been among the Ne
vada mountains prospecting for silver,
and were returning to Salt Lake City
in the hope of raising capital enough
to work some lodes which they
had discovered. He had been as keen
as any of them upon the business until
this sudden incident had drawn his
thoughts into another channel. The
sight of the fair young girl, as frank
and wholesome as the Sierra breezes,
had stirred his volcanic, untamed heart
to it's very depths, When she had van
ished from his sight, he realized that q
crisis had come in his life, and that
neither silver speculations nor any
other questions could ever be of such
Importance to him as this new and all
absorbing one. The love which had
sprung up in his heart was not the sud
den, changeable fancy of boy, but
rather the wild, fierce passion of man
of strong will and imperious temper.
He had been accustomed to succeed In
all that he undertook He swore in
his heart he would not fail in this il
human effort and human perseverance
could render him successful.
He called on John Ferrier that night
and many times again until his face
was familiar one at the farmhouse

Unearthed Remains of the Mammoth OF

The mammoth. or behemoth, is not

According to Siberian and Chinese be-
lief, the race Is merely banished under

terminated by glimpse Of the suns,
or even Of the moons rays. The infer

mains.
In several cases the great beast has
emerged from his millenial retirement

hair; his name falling over his shaggy
shoulders, his antediluvian eyes ac-

Contemporary dogs and wolves find
mammoth flesh appetizing in spite of

In Kamchatlsa, TO this day, mammoth

Tho first mammoth tusk seen in
western Europe was brought to Lon

had purchased II from the Samoyedes;
and Father Avril, Jesuit who crossed
Siberia in 1855, wrote that "thc Russians
had discovered a sort of ivory whittier
and smoother than that which comes
from India"
