In the edge of the desert, where he drew
treer breath. But when her beast paus-
I'd, unheeded by her, to browse bit Of
.hemise wood he dismounted and pull
I'd it hastily forward. Then he tied the
two lettering ropes together and led
the animal upon which the young girl
sat in almost utter Inconsistencies
The desert solitude upon one hand
and the deep, mysterious mountain SOL
itude upon the other weighed upon his
spirit. A coyote howled dismally in the
distance. He jerked the lettering rope
and urged his own beast into q swifter
pace.
At last they reached the point where
the trail turned toward the mountain.
The scraggly cedars became ghostly fig
ures and the red barked pines and tall
frs seemed threatening spirits. Still he
urged their way upward. looking back
to see that the dropping, swaying figure
did not fall.
When the cleared space was reached,
Laurel aroused, gave a slow glance
about her and slid to her feet in the
very spot under the blasted pine tree
where she had watched the coming and
going of her beloved. She sank upon
the ground and turned her face toward
the snow mountain with . hoarse half
prayer.
The youth had grown to mans estate
In brave sympathy and ready action.
He cared for the beasts with gentle ca
resses because they had been SO faith
full and brought blanket to cover the
still form that lay beneath the light

He watched beside her all the night,

against the one who had caused her

urge the pony to arise, but after several
attempts 1t stretched out its neck and
would NO longer struggle. He had to
leave It. When this wrctched rain was
over, II would arise, no doubt, and nnd
its own way back.
Hour after hour he toiled onward,
shaken by chills, consumed at the same
time by an inward fire and fever. But
the warm hut, with its blazing fire Of
great logs, was In the elusive distance.
The impatience and strain made his
brain reel. He sank upon the ground in
heavy exhaustion. A dark object lay
before him. He arose and tried to sp-
proach 1t cautiously. but. unable Ion
ger 70 guide his footsteps, he stumbled
against It and fell. It moved slightly
and gave husky whinny.
He stretched out his hand. Could it
b the pony he had left hours before?
With ono desperate effort Of his swiftly
ebbing strength he made conviction
sure by finding the knot In the bride
rein which he had handled nervously
during the dreadful hours Of that first
dreadful day.
Great heavens! He had gone in cir

its blazing fire, might be miles away.

ROOSEVELT'S
ELECTION SURE
California Gone Republican With En-
phasis--WashingtOn Also Gets
Into Line With Clean Sweep on
the Right Side

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Returns estab-
lish to certainty that the United States
senate will have Republican majority
after March next. OF the present Re
publican total of 45, the terms of seven
senators expire March 4th next, leaving
thirty-eight hold-over publicans. To
this number the election of yesterday
adds ten Republicans surely elected snd
three probably elected, making a total
of forty-eight, or two more than a ma
jority of the democrats, Populis!s and
Silver Republicans.
There are 81 Democratic hold. over
senators, and to this number the cleo
tion of yesterday added four with GER
tainty and one probably, giving total
of 25 votes. The Pspulist and Silver
Republican hold-overs number eight,
and this was increased yesterday by one
practically sure. Five state legislatures
appear much in doubt, viz: Nebraska,
West Virginia, Montana, Indiana and
Warrington, and are not included in fig
uring the totals.
Today's returns show that these Dem
ocratic senators will be succeeded by
Republicans: White of California,
Mitchell of Wisconsin, Allen of Nebras-
ka, Turpie of Indiana, Smith of New
Jersey, Faulkner OF West Virginia, Muir
ply of New York, and Gray of Della
ware.
Interest in the election today centered
in the political complexion of the next
house. Although Chairman Babcock of
of the Republican congressional COM
mittee, made this morning what he
terms an ultra conservative estimate. in
which he eliminated a number of doubt
full lists, this estimate gives the Re-
publicans 1S5 members in the next
house, majority of thirteen over all.
At 2 o'clock Kerr, of the Democratic
congressional committee, claimed the
certain election of 100 Democrats and
Fusionists.

Dynamite in the Mails.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S-Two sticks of
nearly half a pound of dynamite were
carried In the mails which arrived on
the overland train Sunday morning.
The explosives were poured from the
mail sack on the distributing table at
the postofice station, and one of the
clerks soon tossed them through chute
to the table of the carrier who would
take them to the destination as indi-
Gated by the address.
The sticks of the explosives were in
separate packages, and both were ad-
dressed to George E. Hall, Turkish con-

The postmarks were very indistinct, but

in Montana. Several weeks ago Mr.. Hall

NEW YORK

New YoRK, Nov. 9.-Revised returns
make practically no change in those of
last night, which showed the election of
Roosevelt by pleurality of eighteen to
twenty thousand. As compared with
the election of 1896, this shows loss to
the Republicans of from one hundred
and ninety to one hundred and ninety
five thousand.
Roosevelt came to Harlem River with
los, 900 pleurality, and Van Wyck had
but $1,000 IN Greater New York with
which to meet 1t. The vote outside the
city shows that Roosevelt lost 81 900 as
compared with Black. In the country
districts Van Wyck ran about 10000
