Child Bitten by a Dog

Bernice, the six-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Versilo Porter, is lying
seriously i'll at her home on Vermont
street, near Jefferson street, as a re-
suit of savage attack by big dog be-
longing to one Of the neighbors. The
child was playing with the animal on
Thursday, when he suddely turned upon
her, and, knocking her Gown, fastened
his teeth in her upper lip, mutilating
the face terribly. The child, screamed,
and was heard by her mother, who rush
ed to the rescue The savage brute
was frightened away, and a physician
was hurriedly summoned The child's
wounds were cauterized, but she is still
in a precarious condition, and owing to
the manner in which her face was
lacerated it is necessary for her to take
her nourishment through silver tube

CHAPTER II

To neither Felix nor me did sleep
come at once. With each there was the
foreboding that something out Of the
ordinary course would happen to us that
night, and it was with an expectant
feeling, serious enough, yet with some
what Of curiosity, that we waited for
what the turn Of events might bring us.
That il was liable to be an ugly sort Of
visitation, if it fulfilled the import Of
those smoke spires on the mountains, we
both were we'll aware.
We had taken the usual precautions
that plainsmcn take in q hostile Indian
country; hud paused in the darkness
and listened. after turning oil from the
trail, 10 find IL wc were followed and
before rolling up in our blankets had
reconnoitered the space about M for .

when he said:

The interest Ia improved roads Is 90
great through the state that legislation
has come to the rescue, aud has appro-
priated money to be invested under GER
tain regulations for the purpose Of Sc
curing better roads In the farming

tive TO grading or macAdam'ztng, and
otherwise improving the travelled part
OF our roads there seems to be little said
about clearing away brush small trees.

confident that cut enough OF good
quality Of fodder on the roadside about
my farm TO amply repay me for the

to cut the bushes or pay them for doing
it. Do such men appreciate the truth
that the value Of their farms Is much en-
haueed by nicely and neatly kept bor-
der around thems
Asa rule where there Is cleanly cut

nice and tidy dwelling house, barn and

WIDE TIRE BENEFITS.

They Not Only improve the Road. but the
Load L. More Easily Drawn.
The beneficial effect Of the wide tire
OIL dirt roads is strikingly shown III
some recent tests at the Missouri aRri-
cultural experiment station at Colum-
bia. A clay road badly cut into ruts
by the narrow tires was selected Tor
the test n presenting conditions least
favorable 10 the broad the. \ number
of tests Of the draft Of the narrow tire
were made in these open ruts and I'M
mediately followed by the broad tires
running in the same ruts. The first run
Of the broad tire over the narrow tire
ruts was accompanied by an increased
draft, the second by draft materially
less than the original narrow tire, the
third by still greater decline, and In
the fourth trip the rut was practically
obliteratcd Ind filled. The narrow tires
were then run over the same road, with
the results that the draft was lighter
than before the broad tires had been
used. Alternating the broad and narrow
tires on this read for number Of times
resulted in gradually decreased draft
In other words, the broad tires were
improving the road surface TO such III
extent when run but half the time as TO
make the draft considerably less for all
vehicles. This clearly demonstrates that
il even half the wagons used on dirt
roads had broad tires the results would
be beneficial in draft and enormously
beneficial in lettering the condition OF
the roads.
In another trial. when clay road
was SO badly cut into ruts as to be al
most impassable for light vehicles and
pleasure carriages, after running the
inch tires over this road IL times the
ruts were completely filled ard first
class bicycle path made. A careful rec
ord of the drafts shows that the draft
was materially less than with the nal
row tires Immediately before. Thus the
road would have been gradually i'm
proved by the use Of the broad tires at
| the same tine that the farmer wCCld
have been able TO transport his products
over the road with greatly reduced
draft.

uel, and he, too. did not come back.
Everything looked strange and fearful
to us who were left alone. When after
long time Manuel and my father did
not appear, we left the camp in search
Of them. We soon lost our way, but by
favor of heaven we at last saw youi
horses and so were guided 10 you. All,

therr' And at the thought Carmen
wept piteously, while Dolores sobbed in
sympathy and addressed to the gilded
medal Of the Virgin Of Guadalupe that
hung from her neck her prayers in q
semi Indian dialect for protection from
the Apaches.
Well, this was a strange and not un-
pleasing episode Of nights camping
upon this plain Of sinister repute. Much
better it was than 10 be routed out by
Apaches. Felix and ! did the best we
could under circumstances so novel and
unexpected. Failing 10 console Carmen
with assurances Of our belief in her IA
ther's safety, we folded the blankets so
as to make sort cf divan for her and
the Indian maid. Leaving them TO their
ciumps there We're no others near. and
we were separated by fully 100 yards OF
level, open prairie from anything that
might furnish cover by which an enemy
could approach.

morning. The full moon was high IN
the sky, and it flooded the plain with its
mellow light Felix and Ireclined upon
the dry, smooth ground, smoking our
pipes. with Mexican dollars laid upon
the bowls lest the glow of their burning
should guide the shot OF lurking
Apache. We spoke only in whispers,
and when, as happened now and then,
one Of Us dozed off in few minutes
sleep the other kept awake and watch
full. From time 10 time one or the other
in turn made the circuit Of the mesquite
clumps, keeping under shelter as far as
possible and carefully scanning the
open space about them. Especially we
noticed our horses behavior, knowing
that they were good sentinels against
the approach Of hostile Indians, and
that if the Apachos should come near
them, to the windward, the fear aud
repugnance that the animals had to the
InGian would be displayed in their
alarm and rcstlessness.

As looked curiOustN 0cer the t0n vdu.
started must hurry along, for they
know that the first tidings Of their out
break will bring the soldiers after them,
and they won't spend much time hunt
ing us in the dark. Well get through
that way if ut ALL"
SO it was agreed upon that we should
follow this plan Of operations. Soon we
came to clear. grassy space ON the
prairie. Here we stopped and picketed
the horses out to Craze. Bread we had,
and few dry branches Of mesquite
made fire sufficient to frizzle some
slices Of bacon and TO boil coffee in q
pot extemporized from an emptied peach
can. We fell to our supper with q good
appetite just US the sun was going
down behind the Chiricahua range. By
the time we had eaten our meal and
smoked pipe darkness had fallen
The stars were out, and the distant
mountains were lost in darkness as we
saddled the horses, mounted and rode
onward upon the trail.
The night was wonderfully fair, and
the luminous stars shone with soft
brightness through the misty blue OF
the high, cloudless sky. In the dusk
the plain took on new aspect. Its
mesquite and other larger vegetation
looked strange in shade and darkness
and, with our molten, seemed them
selves to move and change their places.
Myriads Of firefies flashed above the
darkened earth. The shrek of coyote
came from the direction Of the plaza,
which, still in sight, several miles away,
threw back a reflection like dull, molten
lead. Owls hooted from unknown re-
gions Of the night, and there were other
calls and cries abroad which we could
not identify.
We rode in silence at a fast walk for
three quarters Of an hour and then turn.
ed OF the trail to where some clumps OF
mesquite stood in a space Of open prai-
rie, Here we u,isaddled our horses and
tied them to mesquite trees, giving
them the length Of their rope that they
might Craze freely. Then, with our sad
dies for pillows, Felix and ! lay down
ON the ground to sleep, back to back,
each rolled in his blanket, with rife BE-
side him and revolver by his head.
