down the street right toward the cy-

The people watched him as he raced
out across the prairie, his long hair
flying and his face set squarely to the
front. They saw him as he bore down
toward the cyclone, and above the roar
of the wind they heard the shout of
defiance which he gave out. The next
moment they saw the mighty moving
monster and the man meet. They saw
the latter swallowed up in that black
cloud. That was all.
In minute the cyclone had passed.
It had missed the town, and the people
breathed easy once more.
Immediately a party went out in
search of old Buck, and after a long
hvnt somebody found him. He was
hanging in the forks of cottonwood
tree, about twenty feet from the
ground, and jammed down so tight be-
tween the limbs that he could not
move. His broncho lay ten yards
way, stone dead Buck was rescued
and carried back to town, more dead
than alive. The doctor examined hin
and found that while his injuries woult

In the course of time old Buck was
able to get about, but he was never the
same man. His spirit was completely
broken. He had lost all zest for fight
ing, and instead of being the rashest
and most obstreperous character in
the section, he had become the quietest
and most demu3e. He lived good
many years, but as it was necessary
for him to use a crutch he never re-
turned to ranch life.

st. Louis, October To-day when the
miners employed in the Madison Coal
company's shafts at Edwardsvllle. ILL.,
were going to work they were attacked
by mob of strikers. who were aged
on by thirty or more women sympa-
thizers. The strikers threw stones and
cayenne pepper and beat their oppon-
ents with clubs, but no shots were fired
and nobody killed. One miner how.
ever, had his skull crushed, and num-
erous others We're cut and bruised. The
miners, who fought as best they could,
were finally allowed to go to work.
The strikers, more than 300 with the
women, far outnumbered the workers,
who were guarded by force of dep

Many of the workers and deputy
Shcriffs were injured, and several of

Though heavily armed, the deputy sher-

tempting to use fire arms. They were
only their fists. Had shot been fired
the consequences would have been fear
full, as the miners were frenzicd.

this investment old Buck said, or 1
am going to smash the game
Well the play was made and in lit
tie more than a second Bucks money
went into the gamblers pocket. Buck
waited moment, then he said slowly:
Il remarked that l was going to
win or else smash the game. Well,
didn't win, so I'll just
And before anybody knew what he
intended to do he had reached over
caught the gambler by the arms, swung
him over his head and brought him
down broadside across the table with
all the strength he possessed. The
game was smashed, the boards in the
table were splintered and the gam
bier lay on the floor as limp as a rag.
Everybody thought at first that
Buck had killed the fellow, but they
were mistaken. The chap lived, but 1t
was a long time before he was able to
walk step or even to stand on his
feet 1t Is safe to bet, though, that he
never tried any more skin games on
cowboys"
The old saying that Sooner or later
every man will meet his match" proved
true in Buck Rogers case. For years
he rode the range, unconquered and
invlnclble and victor in every con-
test with man or beast. But he at last
met his match. He went up against
thing in comparison to which he was
a mere feather In plain words, he
"bucked a cyclone.
One Saturday afternoon in July Buck
was down at Dodge City. The town
was full of cowboys, but they were not
very lively. The day was intensely hot
and sultry, and even a cowboy did not
feel inclined to exert himself unneces-
sarlly. The usual amount of liquor
was disposed of, however, and old Buck
managed to take care Of his portion.
Along about the middle Of the after
noon black cloud came UP from the
east and another from the west. These
clouds advanced and met overhead, and
then began to conduct themselves in
most peculiar manner. They rolled
and tumbled and pitched and churned,
and twisted in and out among them
selves.
The street was lined with people who
watched these clouds anxiously for
every one felt assured that cyclone
was brewing. People had left their
homes and the stores and shops, and
the cowboys had left the saloons-at
least, those of them who were not
too drunk. Old Buck had mounted his
broncho and was standing in the road
in front of the postoffice.
Pretty soon there came sweeping
across the prairie from the west mass
of black cloud, funnel-shaped and
bristling with electricity. Every one
knew iii an instant what that meant.
The dreaded cyclone had appeared
Some of the people fed in search OF
places of safety, some dropped down
right where they stood and began to
wall and pray, while others stood, open
mouth and dumb, staring stupidity at
the terrible engine of destruction. But
old Buck Rogers did none of these
things.
At the first cry that a cyclone was
coming he tore off his hat and threw 1t
down in the road, gave one long, I'M

THE SERPENT SYMBOL.


American Continent.
An interesting paper was read re-
Gently before convention of anthro-
biologists in session at Detroit, Mich,
by the Rev. Stephen D. Peet, entitled
THE Serpent Symbol in Nicaragua and
Yucatan." He said in brief: 1.-THE
serpent symbol is prevalent all over
this continent. 1t appears in efiigies In
Canada, Ohio, Illinois and Minnesota.
There are many serpent myths among
the Iroquois and Algonquins. These
represent the serpent as coming out of
the water and fascinating men and
turning them into serpents, taking
them below the water, thus reminding
us of the temptation. The serpent, al
so, is a water god, who antagonizes
the chief god, and produces great
flood. The story of the flood is al
ways associated with the serpent as the
cause. The serpent, in fact, is the
source of evil.
I'm Nicaragua and Central America
the serpent is, on the other hand, a
source of good. He is in reality the
symbol of the raincloud, and the crops
and the seasons are dependent upon
his appearance. Instead of antagoniz-
ing the chief divinity, he seems to be
sailing through the air bearing the
chief divinity on his back. Sometimes
there are vases held in the folds of the
serpent that are emptying water or
rain upon the fields. In Nicaragua the
serpent appears in the architecture
highly wrought and sculptured with
great force. There are serpents guard
ing the balustrades to the pyramids,
and other serpents covered with feath-
ers which form the piers by the side
of the dosrways to the temples. The
idea is that they are coming down
from the clouds, along the fronts of the
temple, to the ground, symbolizing
rain clouds. The sacred book of the
Mayas have many serpents coiled up,
corn in the lattSr. Even the hero
glyphs of the Mayas have serpents up
on them, the serpent forming one part
of the glyph, suggesting that a pho
netic alphabet grew out of the picture
graphs and the symbols. The serpent
itself gives one of the elements. Among
the Pueblos the serpent figured in a
very interesting way. When the chill
dren were initiated, and were to re-
ceiye the breath of the divinity through
the sacred plumes, they were prepared
to enter the sacred city, which is UNI
der the water of the sacred lake. But
the serpent must also be carried to the
upper door of the place of worship
where the children are, and its mouth
placed near the entrance. Water and
seed were poured through the serpent
effigy The priests below caught the
water in a sacred vessel and the seed
in sacred baskets, and presented them
to the children, teaching them that
both water and seed came from the
serpent, which was the symbol of tho
raincloud."
