episode just mentioned word came that
n woman preacher was coming to the
town to hold q prOtracted meeting.
When Gabe heard this news he vowed
up and down that no woman would
hold any meeting there.
Two or three days later Gahe was
out on the range rounding UP some
cattle. He was charging across tie
prairie after IA refractory steer when
his horse stepped into a prairie dog
hole pitched over on his head, rolled
Gabe off and fell on top of him, fractur-
ing leg and severely spraining his
back.
1t was impossible to give the injured
man proper attention at the ranch, so

ready. The osprey caught the mullet
and sailed homeward.
Then the two great birds struck with
a thud distinctly heard below, though
they must have been half mile in the
air. Feathers flew as If you had rip
ped a pillow in strong breeze, and
as the two fell, it could be seen that
the talons of the bald straddled the
body of the gray and were buried at
the roots of the wings. But the gray's
beak tore at the throat of the bald,
while his claws We're busy tearing like
the jaws of wolf who fights bull
dog. Their wings beat each other as
goose fights, and they tumbled over and
over. slantingly to the sea. AS they
touched the water each broke it's hold
and made for the shore. The gray fell
in the edge of the woods, the bald land
ed on a tree, nearly fell, and leaned
against the trunk for support as it sat
in the crotch.

WORLDS LARGEST SHEEP FARM
Australia Breeder Will Shear Over
I,25O,OOO Animals This Season.

Samuel McCaughey, of COonong. RI
yerina, y. \. W., is tlAe largest sheep
farmer in the world. both as regards
numbers and, what is more Important,
quality. He is the most progressive
sheep farmer of the age, and has
brought his stock to great perfection.
He shears 125O,000 sheep this season.
and would have had more. but lost
100000 in the drouth two years ago,
but thought nothing of it, as every
year he has between 100000 and 4O0,-
600 lambs. At Toorak and Dunlop, his
stations on the Darling river, he shears
100000 sheep this year. He bought
them from his uncle, Sir Samuel VIII
son, and has developed them magnif

Is only Al 900 acres In extent. and he
has upon it $4,000 sheep Of very high
quality. from which he sends annually
large drafts 10 improve the breed 90
his other properties.
Mr.. McCaughey is able to boast, rs
one result of long continued efforts.
that he has increased the yield of each
of his own sheep yearly to the extent
of one pound of clean secured wool.
Now, even at the present low range OF
prices, a pound of clean secured mert-
no combng is not worth less than IL
pence. 50 that it follows that this en-
terprising man has increased hfs wool
returns by upward of 100000 per an
mum. These victories Of Mr.. McCaugtl-
ey are not merely no less but much
more" renowned than the sort of We
tories that are gained on the northwest
frontier of India.
1t was only fourteen years ago that
the owner of COonOng first became
convinced of the value of the Vermont
breed of merino sheep. 1t was In 1888
that he purchased about dozen OF
this breed of rams, which had been i'm
ported into Sydney. So convinced was
he that he had, rs 1t were, struck oil,
that three years later he visited the
States and selected for himself 16O or
the finest rams In that State and the
following year the flock was added 10
by further importation of 300 more.
From that time to the present almost
every year has found Mr.. McCaughey
importing more of these wonderful
creatures Leeds Mercury.

FIGHT IN The AIR.
Battle Royal Between a Gray and a
Bald Eagle.

A man sat on the sands Mt Capron In
let. opposite Fort Pierce, and admired
the graceful flight of an osprey, says
the Jacksonville Florida Citizen. About
fifty yards above the blue water. he
wheeled on widespread pinions, direct
ing his course by motion of his tail o.

anced himself, the wings shut on the
body and he plunged into a long swell
and rose with fish in his talons. With
a scream of exuHation he shook him.

circled TO attain sufficient altitude to
clear the woods.
But fishing eagle, twice his weight,
had seen the performance, and answer
ed the scream. He mounted to strike,
and the osprey, burdened as he was,
gave up the contest and dropped the
fish. With a swing, the fisher turned
and caught it and flew low to regain
the blasted pine and feast
But out of the blue came another
scream and a dim spot detached itself
from a cloud and moved straight on the
scene of action. The fisher heard the
cry of battle, and he knew he was lost
II the bald eagle struck him with a
swoop. Hastily he turned and flew al
most directly upward, still holding his
prize. The osprey SCARED back with
shrill whistlings, as If he Knocked the
efforts of the robber.
The bald eagle screamed again and
was answered by the gray. The bald
came with leveled head, like an arrow
from the bow-the fisher still struggled
for an equal position. Then the bald
curved the forward edge of his great
vans and started downward. The gray

he was conveyed to town and located
in room at little hotel. Now ut this
hotel there was lady hOardcr who
had come only the day before. She
was not exactly young and pretty YET
there was wholesome freshness and
an expression of goodness about her
that made her very attractive. This
lady took great interest in Gabe from
the moment when she first saw him.
and when she found that he had no
one to nurse him she went to the doc
tor and offered her services. The doc
tor shook his head and hesitated.
"The man needs IA woman's care"
he admitted, but he's not worthy of
it. He is terrible character
I'm what wayY' she asked.
"He is tough. He swears, drinks,
CANDLES, fights.
The doctor went on to give Il brief
account of Gabe's life or deviltry. The
woman, instead of being frightened
from her purpose. was all the more
confirmed in it.
IF he is that" she said, "there is
the more need of throwing kind in
fiuences about him. His soul is rs pre-
cious as any soul on earth, and It Is Il
Christian duty to reclaim it il posi-
BILE"
From that day she visited Gabe,
bringing him dainty little morsels of
food and performing many small offices
to add to his comfort. She always
brought a smiling face into the room,
and she was unsparing with kind, con
selling words.
At first Gabe resented the woman $
visits, and she got little from him cX-
cept dark scowls and few mumbled
words in reply to her questions. She
took no notice of his ungracious con
duct, or at least appeared not to, and
continued to treat him with the same
uniform consideration.
After a while her kindness began to
tell on him, and she saw it, though he
tried to keep it secret. She saw that
his face frightened when she came in
| to the room, and that he listened eager
! " to her words, however much he pre-
| tended not to.

could mask his real feelings no longer,

it. More than that, when he was able,

The result over it all was that he got
