CHAPTER IL-CoNTINUED
She had reached the outskirts of the
city. when she found the road blocked
by a great drove of cattle, driven by a
half-dozen Withholding herdsmen from
the plains. In her Impotence she en-
deavored to pass this obstacle by push
ing her horse into what appeared to be
"a gap. Scarcely had she got fairly in
to it. however. before the beasts closed
Nm 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 adj
vantage of every opportunity to urge
her horse on in the hope of pushing
her way through the cavalcade. I'm
fortunately, the horns of one of the
beasts, either by accident or design,
of the mustang, and excited it to mad
ness. In an instant it reared up on its
hind legs with a snort of rage, and
pranced and tossed in way that
would have unseated any but most
skillful rider. The situation was full
of peril. Every plunge of the ex-
cited horse brought it against the
horns again, and goaded it to
fresh madness. It was all that
the girl could do to keep herself in the
saddle. yet a slip would mean a
terrible death under the hoofs of ths
unwieldy and terrified animals. I'm
accustomed to sudden emergencies,
her head began to swim, and her grip
upon the bride to relax. Choked by
'the rising cloud of dust and by the
steam from the struggling creatures,
. she might have abandoned her efforts
In despair, but for a kindly voice at
Their elbow which assured her of assist
-ance. At the same moment a sinewy
brown hand caught the frightened
horse by the curb, and, forcing a way
through the drove, soon brought her to
the outskirts.
you're not hurt, I hope, miss" said
her preserver respectfully.
She looked up at his dark, fierce
face, and laughed saucily. I'm awful
frightened" she said naively; whoever
would have thought that Poncho would
have been SO scared by lot of cows?"

road in rolling cloud Of dust.
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 its very depths. When she had van
ished from his sight, he realized that a
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 snd-
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 if
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.
John, cooped up in the valley, and alb
sorbed in his work, had little chance of
learning the news of the outside world
during the last twelve years. All this

and in style which interested Lucy
as well as her father. He had been a
pioneer in California, and could uar-

or even of the moons rays. The infer
ence might almost be called a logical
one from the state of the unearthed re-
mains.
In several cases the great beast has
emerged from his millenial retirement
as completely arrayed as if death had
only just overtalcn him, his hide
densely clothed with fulvous wool,
and that again covered by long black
hair: his name falling over his shaggy
shoulders. his antediluvian eyes ac-
tually staring from their sockets.
Contemporary dogs and wolves find
mammoth flesh appetizing, in spite OF
it's semi-fossil character; mammoth
bones have been proved to contain a
remunerative amount of gelatine, and
in Kamchatla, to this day. mammoth
fat is largely used for fuel.
The first mammoth tusk seen in
western Europe was brought to Lon
don in 1911 by one James Logan, who
had purchased it from the Samoyedes;
and Father Avril, Jesuit who crossed
Siberia in 1855. wrote that 1.-The Russians

the annual sale at one hundred and ten
thousand pounds weight, and upwards
of sixteen hundred tusks are known to
have reached London in 1872.
Yet the supply remains unexhausted,

fallen off or failed. In Russia and
China, it is true. almost exclusive use
