tracks made by bear. After going another mile down the mountain we saw blood. Then a little farther on were signs of a struggle. The bushes were broken and there were rags of cloth and tufts of hair.
 Man and bear fight said Charlie.
 That was my idea of it. There was no difficulty in following the course of the battle. The bushes and grass looked as if some heavy body or bodies had rolled down the steep grade. We followed on until we came to a high precipice. There was no doubt that something had fallen over here into a deep ravine below. A rag fluttered on a twig hanging over the precipice. The rag was brown, the color of Bills hunting coat And Bill? We looked at each other with dread. Had Bill fallen over the precipice? If not, where was he?
 Charlie was game all through.
 II am going over the cliff and search for Bill" That was all he said. We went back to the camp and got rope. Charlie tied one end around his waist. and when he had passed the rope around tree I took hold of the other end. Charlie swung boldly off and dangled in midair, while l let out the rope slowly.
 Fifty feet or so down there was shelf of rock Charlie rested there an instant Then he sent up a great shout: Pull up, Jack, for your life.'
 I pulled with all my might and none too soon. A bear ran out along the shelf of rock and half famished, tried to seize Charlie. My brave chum did not forget even then the use of a pis- tol Hardly had he swung out pendu- lum fashion from the precipice wall when he had his pistol ready. Back he came on the swinging line toward the bear It was a beautiful sight. Charlie did not fire until he was close in, and when he pulled the trigger he had such good aim that the bullet pierced some vital part of the bear, and the monster fell into the canyon below with final roar.
 I pulled Charlie up. We were just shaking hands when we heard voice:
 "Purty good stuff, you two; and I thought so from the first. Just like your fathers"
 It was Bill
 1T wandered away last ni0ht," he said. "and fell in with a wildcat, and we had little brush. and l killed him and threw him over the bluff.
 The next day we got a longer rope and I went down and found the bear that Charlie had shot. It was dead Bill and Charlie pulled it up with a rope after a hard tug; but Charlie strained himself and we did not make the big climb after all.

Raymond. He thought that if he should go up in the balloon when the wind blew so hard everybody would think him very brave.
 He put his hand into his pocket. Yes, he just hG- 50 cents, which he had got for chopping wood for n ;ghbor that morning. Up he strutted to the balloonist and handed him the 50 cents. The man looked closely at him, q little boy onl'- 12 years old offering to. go u0 alone in a balloon, for nobody else would venture then.
 Go ahead, said the man, but mind you hold on."
 AM right, sir" said Tom, radiant with the thought of being all alone.
 The engine was started once more and the balloon rose with Tom. Up, up, up, until the people looked like brownies, with heads all turned toward him. How brave they think I am tos venture up alone" thought Tom But just then a great gust of wind came which made the balloon lie over on it's side.
 Tom clung to the ropes like a leech until the balloon righted. Then to his horror he saw that the edges of the hole in the bo -om of the balloons basket, where the cable passes through, had worn the cable a .reat deal. As the wind was continually rising the balloon swayed fir side to side, every time grinding the cable against the sides of the holes and wearing 1t away. The ballOonist did not know of this or he should not have let Tom go up.
 Pull me own as quick as you can,' shouted Tom at the top of his voice. The balloonist, being used to hearing from a distance, understood Tom and gave the ord2r to his assistant.
 All the power of the engine was ex- erted, the balloOnist thinking that Tom had become dizzy and that he might fall from the basket. Suddenly there came another and stronger gust, jerking the balloon about terribly Then came another, which was fol- lowed by a great bang like the report of a rifle. The cable had snapped and the balloon shot upward in the air like an arrow from a bow.
 A terrific shout went up from below The aeronaut snatched up a speaking trumpet from the cord and shouted:
 Pull the valve cordl Pull the valve cord and save your life, boy!'
 Poor Tom! He clung to the ropes with all his strength and then could hardly stay with the balloon. A thou sand thoughts flashed through his mlnd: He thought about his mother, who had told him not to do anything hazardous without her consent. But the words of the balloon owner aroused nm. Where was the cord?

TOM'S RIDE
 UPON A BALLOON.
BY FRANK HAROLD.
 SAN FRANCISCO.

HERE was great excitement in
 the little country town of Vernon.
 1 Everybody was all in a flutter to See the great balloon that had come that day, float up into the air with a load of human freight. The balloonist had set his tent in a field, and was gO ing to make ascensions on the follow ing day. The next morning. bright and early there had 'sembled around Farmer ThompsJn's field crowd of Snen, women and children of the little S VII to witness the spectacle, which was to them very rare. The great bal loon was already filled with gas, and was tugging at a large cable which was attached to a small engine.
 Any one who wishes to ride will pay fifty cents" shouted the balloonist. The basket was soon full. Several as- tensions were successfully made and the basket was full every time. But it began to grow windy after awhile; and the way the balloon tugged and jerked was enough to frighten the timid. As it continued to grow more and more windy, the aerona~t announced that he would make only one more ascension.
 Now, there was one little boy in that crowd who had a great love for ad- venture an1 daring. This was Tom

 the Sierras two years ago. We
 were just out of the - High School. and we thought that we
 were bio enough to look out for ourselves. We went up on the cars to Inyo County and there unloaded our traps and started on foot with a pack mule to carry our tent and camp outfit and provisions over to Mount Whitney, which loOmed up immensely in the dis tance.
 Charlie knew man at Independence, and he agreed to be our guide just for friendships sake. He had known Charities father and mine also. "So,'' he said tit seemed as if he was to go along with his own, some way"
 Of course we were glad enough to have him with us, for when we really saw Mount Whitney, it seemed easy to get lost there, notwithstanding the we'll beaten trails.
 We never got to the top of Whitney. We went up the mountain some dis tance and camped. The very night we made camp Bill disappeared. He left his gun and some other belongings We followed down the trail some distance the next morning to look for Bill. Two miles from camp we came to fresh

the other grabbed at every rope and cord in sight. By this time he was far from the people and was tearing along in the air over fields far away from the dear ones at home.
 At times the wind would bear down on the balloon, and at other times the balloon would start up as if to pierce the heavens At last Toms grasp was laid on a thin cord which was Tapping about wildly and he pulled it. A strong hissing sound followed which scared Tom and then the thought came to him that he had discovered the valve cord! He uttered a thanksgiving as he again pulled it. The balloon at last needed it's loss of gas and stopped ris- ing. but did not lower any, except from the wind. He gave another pull and felt the balloon descending. A cry of joy escaped his lips, and he pulled still harder The balloon, of course, losing so much gas. descended rapidly, fright ening Tom so much as to make him let go of the cord.

 I was on my mettle. The words of Buffalo had not ceased to rankle. l pushed on and soon had the satisfac- tion of seeing the Indian boy losing ground. Now my horse was nose ahead; now length; then I lost sight of Buffalo I knew that I had better mount than he had-but not much bet ter He quickened his pace, and the sound of his horses hoofs came nearer. Suddenly I realized that I was alone. Turning in my saddle I saw that Buff falos horse had fallen and that he was down.
 Buffalo was smiling when rode back to where he was. He could not move He had broken some bones. His horse had broken leg, having ppeG into a prairie dogs hole while going at full speed. Twenty long miles to the Indian camp and only one horse to carry us! Not one! As I leaped from the saddle and went to Buffalo to help him low, moaning sound came across the country lying between us and the buttes beyond. My horse pricked up his ears, Sniffed the air sharply and turn ed and ran off, homeward bound, and we two were alone on the plain; one of us hopelessly disabled and some sort of wild beast or wild beasts coming.
 Evolves. White boy save himself!'
 Buffalo smiled even as he told me to go away and leave him to his fate, which would be to be torn to pieces by wolves while still alive
 Gan you use your arms, Buffalo?"
 "Yes will do very well. Follow your horse and be safe.''
 I made no reply. The time had come to satisfy the Indian concerning my courage Half an hour passed before the wolves were up on us; but it seem- ed an age. I was standing and Buff falo was sitting when. the brutes began sto circle around us, looking for a safe place to make their attack. They were hungry. half -famished brutes and as fierce as one can imagine them to have been. There were at least fifty of them They howled and snapped their teeth horribly.
 Although Buffalo was in great pain with his broken bones, his aim was per- feet. He smiled as wolf after wolf fell before his bullets. But the continual banging did not scare the wolves. They were after Buffalo's dead horse, which might be better to eat than their fallen comrades.
 Before our bullets were all gone two wolves attacked Buffalo. With a shout I leaped to his side and rained blows about me with the butt of- BuffaloS rifle upon their skulls. They tore my face and hands and stripped my cloth ing. My strength was failing as my

THE WRECK
 OFA TRAIN
BY FLOYD SMITH, SAN FRANCISCO.

N the spring of 1882 a special freight
 train started from Casa Grande to \ Yuma. There were twenty-fou
 empty boxcars, one car of merchan- disc and one of cartridges and powder for Fort Yuma. After passing Mohawk Summit for few miles the road is nearly level to Yuma. The crew had been out eighteen hours and were near ly all tired out. They had left Yuma in the morning and were returning with the special train. The train was running very fast after leaving the summit and the fireman, being worn out, asked the head brakeman to fire for him, after which the exhausted man fell asleep on the seat.
 The speed across the flat was about twenty miles an hour. This part of the road was raised three or four feet by banks of sand. The brakeman was shoveling coal into the fire very fast, when suddenly the engineer called, ''The bridge is burnt" and jumped out of the window. The brakeman, drop ping his shovel, shouted to the fire

Bose would not be kept out of the captains cabin. Ills scratched at the door until Captain Newcomb heard him. The dog acted so strangely and was so much excited that Captain Newcomb knew that something was the matter.
 Bose, where is Frank?" asked the captain
 The dog knew the name of Frank and parked. Captain Newcomb, who had worried because Frank to whom he had taken a strong fancy, had not returned to the Starlight watched Bose carefully He saw piece of pa- per under the dogs collar.
 This is bad" he said as he read what Frank had written. There is no time to be lost. I have heard that the Spaniards will shoot suspects to-. morrow. Perhaps he is threatened"
 An hour later the bell of the Ameri- can Consular Office in Havana was rung. Consul General Lee came to the door. Captain Newcomb told what he wanted. General Lee went with Cap. tain Newcomb to the office of General -----. the Spanish commander in chief. There a pass was procured for Captain Newcomb and an order to the commandant at the camp.
 Speed" said General Lee, flor the boy will be shot at daybreak, unless you get there in time"
 At daybreak Frank Kimball was marched, with, several others, to wall to be shot.
 "Hurrah for the American flag" shouted Frank in the presence of inn pending death.
 The Spanish officer scowled.
 Ready" he command d, and the rifles of the guard came to a deadly aim.

 "Fire,'' he said. But at that moment Captain Newcomb came upon the scene. He shouted, when at some dis tance and the soldiers hesitated That pause saved Franks life.

 Bose received more hugs and his could be counted when Frank saw him once more. He had saved his young masters life.

BOSE SAVED
 HIS MASTER.
BY FRANK MCCARTHY,
 LOS ANGELES.

~ OOD-BY, Bose; God bless you; ! now go!'
 IT The speaker was an American o boy in Cuba. He was born of
 Spanish parents in California. He had reached Cuba as a stowaway. His skin was dark. He spo Ike Spanish flu ently. The Spaniards in Havana took him for Cuban. He was brought be- fore a man in uniform, who asked him some questions and then ordered that he should be sent to one Of the camps of reconcentrados. Frank Kimball was not the boy to be downcast even there, surrounded by starving men, women and children. To repay his courage Bose dog that had voyaged with him also as a stowaway from Key West to Havana, found his way to the recon centrado camp.
 Frank Kimbalrs friends did not know what had become of him. The captain of the American steamer Starlight would help him, he knew if possible. Frank had already seen enough of Cuba to satisfy his curiosity. Here was the dogs neck when his canine friend came to him in his trouble. Quick witted, the lad hastily penciled a note and fastened 1t beneath the dogs col lar. "Good-by, Bose; God bless you: now go!"
 The dog seemed to understand the boy. It was dusk and no sentinel mo- ticed what had happened. Hardly had Frank ceased to speak when the dog disappeared in the gathering shades of night. Straightway Bose found his way to Havana; as promptly he plung- ed overheard, and under the frowning guns of Morro Castle swan to the Starlight as she lay in the stream Luckily the dog was seen and was taken on board.
