stant that the two men gazed into each others eyes the old fire of hatred shone- hut Jason did not even tighten the reins. He felt for that instant how easy it would be to fail but he did not intend to-.
 Catching one spur safely in the cinch straps he leaned far over in the opposite direction until his brawny hand could sweep the grasses. The cattle were not ten feet away and single slip meant Q life.
 But he did not make 1t. The trem- bling form of Harlan met the strong wrist and arm of his rival and Harlan was swung across the saddle bow. Then on and on like the wind, taking the precious load to place of safety. When went roaring by, only to be stopped after miles of mad racing by the mere force of weariness, they rode more leisurely.
 Blessed if he ain't fainted." was Jason's first comment when he reached the schoolhouse and laid hia burden on one of the long desks. But Harlan was not seriously disabled. Some water m his face revived him, an ex-physician among the settlers pulled disloca ted limb into place and he looked like him self again.
 The rescuer, avoiding the crowd that came forward to praise him for his bravery, sought the bluc-eyed woman whose heart he thought he now knew beyond doubt.
 He's all right" Jason began.
 Thanks to you, sir"
 "I don't care to be thanked" bitterly. "I've sat up nights hating that man out there on the ranches-I don't hate him now, but don't care to have too much glory out of this thing for fear I will"
 Anna said nothing. She was q very clever woman.
 "Come," she called to the settlers. cit is 12 o'clock and the stars and stripes are waiting for the prairie breezes to kiss them" Several young people giggled.

America" and then Miss Leland came fOrward
 "There are two kinds of indepcnd- ence," she began, "one of country and the other of heart. This flag we are about to raise will teach us the first, and yet the other is of as much im- portance. To-day a member of this circle. strangely brought among us, has thrown away a needless slavery which has bound his heart. He has a new independence that will make him better and worthier." Then she told them how the flag was sent her, the big scholar of the school read the Declaga- ton and, amid the racket of dozen of the largest firecrackers. the silken banner was pulled up the pole and its folds floated proudly in the breeze.
 While Mir. Graham made his speech Anna went to the other side of the schoolhouse-andJ Jason followed.
 Did you mean that?" he whispered. "Mean what?" Anna was very in- nocent, as well as clever.
 "That word 'necdless""
 "Did I say that-probably I meant it."
 A small boy who peeped around the corner was greatly shocked to sec the big-bearded cowboy kiss the teacher.
 II don't believe" remarked Jason, a little later, that my independence did me much good. l seem to have lost it again mighty quick"
 Anna did rot argue the question.

the ranches we've been lookin' for, an | it ain't a mile away"
 Silently they gazed. Then, as if a commander had come out of the midst of an army, single horseman was dis tinguishable in front of the wall of dust and was evidently advancing on the schoolhouse group, gaining rapidly on the herd, now visible, plodding along behind. "It's the boss herder, comin' in to pick a camp" remarked Graham. He was right. In a few minutes wide-hatted, hand- some cowboy dashed up and dismount- ed, his big spurs jingling merrily as he | walked. "Well," he began, with light smile breaking over his naturally stern fea- lures, "are you here to give me a recep- tion?"
 Hardly" said Graham, coming for ward; i've didn't expect you quite yet"
 "We're here, just the same, and the | cattle are coming fast, too. They're anxious"
 He was right. The herd had advanced | very fast and the settlers were all on the opposite side of the schoolhouse watching the approach. As the herder stood there beside the steps, with the bridle reins hanging loosely to his arm. suddenly came a | vision in the doorway. It was a young woman, dressed in fresh pink gown; she had laughing blue eyes and n pleas 1 ant face.
 But the face grew pale and the girl started back nervously.
 "Anna!" said the herder, in a voice which told of deep emotion.
 "Jason!" Her words were as strange ly spoken. For a moment neither said more; then the herder went on:
 "Why are you out here?" "Why shouldn't I be? We couldn't all live on that little Illinois farm, and wages are better out here on the prai- ries than there."
 "But-but they told me yodwere mar ried-to Harlan"
 "Whe told you?"
 "It came from him, I think, and if I find him"
 "Hush--you can find him, for he Is not far off. saw him pass the window a moment ago. He, too, is westerner and is buying cattle"
 "Ive Eeen raising them, out on the Texas plains. an have almost forgot l had a country, so long has it been since I saw civilization. This is my first trip in from the ranch in four years or more."
 Well, you'll know you have a coun- try on this trip, for to-day is the Fourth of July"
 'Is that why all these folks are gath cred here?"
 "Yes, and I'm to have flag-raising.

You must make speech. Don't you re. member how you used to 'ornte' in the iyceum?"
 Remember it.! It was burned into his mind, and along with it was the recol- lection of long rides homeward with this same woman who stood before him then a schoolgirl for whose favors he had striven and in whose good graces he had formidable rival in Harlan. The herder kicked impatiently at the sunburned grass.
 Anna Leland watched him closely and noted the change made by the passing years in her old-time admirer, and she wondered if he still thought of her as he did then.
 Suddenly a shout took them to the side of the schoolhouse. The herd was coming and the younger part of the company was enjoying the tilt between two of the big steers that captain like led the advancing horned host.
 Five thousand head of cattle! Alittle sea of thin, nervous faces and wide spreading. sharp-pointed horns. Some times so wild as to defy any but the most expert riders, mounted on fresh ponies; again seeming like farmyard in habitants in their harmlessness.
 These, browsing through the ravines and now feeding quietly while !hc herders, sitting on their ponies, awaited the boss herder's pleasure, were in tho latter wood, and it seemed impossible that they could become as ungovern- able as the beasts of the forest. Even as the spectators looked, an exhibition was to be given which would exemplify it all.
 The boys of the school were watching the spectacle and likewise trying to do something to show their allegiance to the nation. For the latter purpose they were provided with several large fire crackers. It seemed to them that now would be an opportunc time to begin the celebration, and accordingly the fuse of particularly vicious cracker was lighted and the whole thrown far out 'n the grass.
 Nobody can tell what will cause a stampede. The crack of a stick, the

whistle of 0 quail-anything sudden and strange. In this case it was a Fourth of July firecrackcr, and it did its work well.
 "Bang!" A thousand heads were raised. Believing sounds came from the leaders threats; forefeet stamped angrily and then came the start! With heads thrown back, dozen steers started off on their wild career. Hun. dreds followed them, and soon the herd was in motion. It became blind, un. reasoning horde, carrying death to whatever living thing came in its way and controllable only by adroit side. riding of the cowboys.
 Jason and the school-teacher stood watching the transformation. They saw, besides the hurrying herders, a stranger in light suit riding fast in front of the herd.
 "That," spoke the girl, "is Harlan"
 Jason strained his eyes, gazing at the man. Then he turned to watch his companion jealously. Did she feel an interest in Harlan? He could not tell
 Then something happened. In an in stant, the twinkling of an eye, the horse Harlan was riding gave lurch and fell headlong, his rider partly under it. Coolly Jason watched them. The horse was evidently hurt. for it did not rise neither did the man, though he freed himself from the saddle.
 But why need Harlan rise--n dozen rods away came the wave of flesh which was to make of himself and horse an in- distinguishable mass hammered into the sod by thousands of hoofs.
 Jason knew this and he felt conscience stricken that his heart contemplated 'he catastrope rather gladly than other wise. What could he do anyway? That he could do something was evil dently the school-teacher's view. for turning to the boss herder, she spoke clearly and firmly one little word-- but its speaking meant life or death. It was: "Go"

 Faster and faster until the pony fairly flew over the level sod, but the herd was also advancing. The stranger who lay on the ground looked pitifully ct the destroyers. The crowd of spec tators at the schoolhouse was intensely interested and excited and wondered what the outcome was to be.
 Boldly Jason rode and well. He plunged in ahead of the foremost cattle and with q speed which kept him in the lead made direct course for Harlan The latter had half risen and was, be- wildered, awaiting his destiny. As Moore drew nearer he was recognized and Harlan felt deep down in his heart that his case was hopeless. For the in-
