But there was no reply. The boat

ished from him into the darkness.
Dick turned TO look for Camilla; she

A little before dawn he went on deck;

stars were shining here n there be-

He sat down against the bulwark, and
looked up at them, listening to the
faint tapping OF the water under the
ships sides.
Little by little the night lifted, n
daylight began to broaden over the sky.

AN INDIAN BOYS PONY
An Account Of His First Attempt Il
Ride 1t at a Buffalo Hunt.

-.
Ride 1t at a Buffalo Hunt.
Thus led by those dedicated to re-
ligious service, the tribe leaves its viii
lage, the people by families dropping
into line-men, w~ell-mounted, bearing
their weapons ready for use: women,
in gala dress, riding their decorated
ponies, older ones leading the pack
horses; little children in twos and
threes upon the backs of steady old
nags, or snugly slowed away in the
swinging pouch between the t~ent-poles;
and the dogs trotting complacently
everywhere. Here and there along the
line of the cavalcade is a lad being mi
tiated into individual responsibility.
He has been upon the hunt before, as
one Of the family, but this is the first
step toward going Independently un-
cared for as child. The father has las
seed a wild horse, sadled and bridled
him, and now bids his son mount the
animal. The boy hangs back; the colt
is a fiery creature and already FESTIVE
under restraint. The father tells his
son that the horse shall be his own
when he has conquered it, but the lad
does not move. The lookers-on are
smiling, and the cavalcade does not
wait. Get up" says the father. The
boy slowly advances, and the colt
quickly recedes but the boy, grasping
his name, swings himself into the sad
die. The father lets go, and so does the
colt-rears, jumps, wriggles, humps his
back like an Infatuated cat, stands on
his fore-legs and kicks at his own tail,
paws the air and stamps the earth, but
the boy clings to him until with a sud-
den jerk the saddle-girth Is broken, and
he is landed over the head of the ex-
cited creature, which runs for dear life
and liberty. Brought back, protesting
by twists and shakes of the head, he is
again mounted. and again frees him
self. After two or three repetitions of
this sort OF thing, the boy becomes
angry, and the mother grows anxious.
She runs to her son as he is scrambling
up from the ground, feels him all over.
and moves his legs and arms to see IL
he is hurt. He is impatient at the de-
lay; he Is going to master that pony
now or die for 1t. This time he stays
on. In vain the animal lashes himself
into. foam and fury; the boy sticks
to him like the shirt of Nessus, and the
father at last leads the indivisible pair
between the tent poles which trail be-
hind a sophisticated family horse, and
there, fenced in, they journey all day,
trying to get used to each other. The
pony does not see his way out OF the
poles, and is forced to keep up with the
procession.

EAGLE PASS BAND PRIZE.

Mr.. Ludwick Mahncke, of the Mahn-
cke hotel. is hearing so much complaint
from his numerous country customers
particularly those from Eagle Pass, re-
garding the non-payment of the band
prize of the late interstate drill and
encampment, that he desires, for the
good name of San Antonio, to have the
matter settled and the debt paid. The
prize was taken as merit alone by the
Eagle Pass band and the drill associa-
ton, they consider, as very derelict in
payment.
Mr.. Mahncke was one of the twenty
guarantors of the fund to get the drill
under Roadway, and he says that there
has been no report of the finances of
the drill association presented and no
account for receipts or expenses made
since the encampment. He SAYS he is
willing to chip in and help pay this
band prize out Of his own pocket.

Chorus And Solo Parts Are Well
RehearSei.
The Rendition OF The Beautiful
Cavalleria RuSticana Will Sur
prise The Public.

The opera "Cavalleria Rusticana,
the childrens' chorus and several sole
numbers, which have been under re-
hearsal for the past month as part OF
the musical festival, will be given or
December IA, and Is, by Prof. Schem-
mel and his assistants.
The abandonment of the festival
proves disappointment to many bust
ness people, but all those who con-
templated enjoying the entertainment
will be pleased to learn that these lead
ing features will be given.
The opera will be rehearsed in full
tomorrow night at the Herff hall, for
the first time. Heretofore there has
only been partial rehearsals. Costumes
will be prepared at once so that ample
practice with complete details can be
had.
The difficult soprano part of the opera
is assayed to Mrs. Geo. Neeley, who
gives great promise in the role of San
tuzza. She has enjoyed some favorable
experience with the famous Bostonians
and hence has a distinct advantage in
the study of this part. Miss Lolita
Braun, of Denison, is cast in Lola, and
Miss Alma Haueisen in Lucia. The
strong male characters Alto and Tur-
iddu are taken by Mr.. Gilbert Schramm
and Mr.. Gus Bonnet, both of whom
have about mastered the parts.
In fact the opera only needs now to
be brought together for ensemble"
work, and trained with the chorus.
The dramatic work is progressing ad-
mirably under Miss Ida Lucian Woods
direction. She is giving faithful atten-
ton to the details in this department
and feels gratified at the result thus
far obtained.
The childrens' chorus met yesterday
as usual at the Y. NJ. c. A. hall and
the work evinced careful study Their
enthusiasm continues in spite of their
modification of the plans and they will
surprise the public.
