, globe of fire upon the rim

il rested a globe of fire upon the rim
of the horizon. Soon ii would drop
from sight and night would be upon
tine prairie. Trenbar at full length on
the grass in the shadow by the chap
arral watched il drowsily, thinking
that before it set again he and Chief
would be safe beyond the Rio Grande.
Five hours the start and the fleetest
horse in southwestern Texas to carry
him had given him an advantage which
even the sheriff of Bandera county
would find ii hard to cope with, and
yet
To use his own expression, Trenbar
had been born under an unlucky star.
He had drifted down to Banderg couii-
ty from a point far north year before,
bringing with him all he possessed in
the way of goods and chattels-the
black horse Chief.
Chief soon won for himself a reputa-
tion both for beauty and speed and
Trenbar received many offers to sell
Linn, one and all of which he put aside,
for the horse was dear TO him beyond
anything on earth. Many and many a
time he had gone hungry that Chief
might be fed, and well-nigh barefoot
that Chief might be shod. Dire in
deed would be the necessity which
would bring about a separation between
them.
For a time Trenbar worked with
fair amount of industry at whatever he
could find to do. lie had tried pretty
much everything in the money-making
process. and nothing to success, for the
reason perhaps that his restlessness and
natural idleness would not allow of
lis remaining long in any one place.
Then he fell into evil ways among the
ranchmeu and cowboys. lie drank free
ly and when he had money gamblct
reclllessly, so that he was soon re
luced 10 the lowest depths of poverty
and DESPAIR.
One night when he had been drinking
more than usual he sod the black horse
to ranchTan by the name of Cron'
wright for slOo in gold and a shaggy
little broncho with a heavy brand on
The left flank and an execroblc ten
Iency toward bucking. lie came to his
enses the next day and marched bncl
to Cronwright with both pony and
turn. The ranchmon laughed in his
face and as Trenbar broke out into
fierce maledictions against the in
justice of the thing had drawn re-
,olver bidding him sterniy to begone;
Trenbar went, but he left Chiefs pur-
chase price behind him. Then and there
he resolved that come what would he
would have his horse again at any cost.
Cronwright, anticipating his purpose,
threatened him with lynching-the
common fate of the horse thief.
True to his word, two weeks later
Trenbar entered the corral at dead of
night and took Chief out. The horse
was willing captive. He knew his
master and loved him as perhaps Tren-
bar had never been loved by anything,
brute or human, since his half-breed
mother died, leaving him still child,
TO shift for himself. Trenbar remem-
bered his mother but vaguely. Yet as
he lay there beneath the chaparral

lie looked at his deputy, who answered
with a look that said plainly they
could and would.
The sheriff touched his wibi-eyed lit
tie mare with the spur. She plunged
forward. with the deputy's broncho
close upon her track. A fine yellowish
dust lifted itself from the withered
grass stalks and weeds and hung about
them as they rode. The sun poured
its level rays full upon the parched
and lifeless prairie and upon the two
men galloping with grim set faces in
the pursuit of justice.
All day long the man upon the black
horse had been steadily making for the
Mexican border. 1t was nearing sunset
now. The mans slight figure drooped
wearily in the saddle. His head had
sunk upon his breast and the reins lay
loosely in his relaxed fingers. The
black horse still galloped, but slowly.
His nose was thrust far forward and
either wide nostril gave glimpse of
the red within. Great flakes of foam
dropped from his bit or floated back
upon the wind of his motion against his
quivering shoulders.
All day long he had galloped-gal-
loped almost without pause, under the
burning southern sun, across the
scorched earth toward the creek there,
whose sluggish shallow tide the sun
set had REDEEMED until ii had looked
like trail of blood. They had long
since left the open prairie behind them.
Here the ground was newer, broken
by sloping hillocks and clumps of chap
arral and here and there scrub oak,
afrording excellent advantages for hid
ing. He must be keen OF scent in
deed who would ferret out "a man in
such place-keen of scent and sharp
OF eye, with a long and efficient training
in thief-catching.
With a deep-drawn breath of relief
Trenbar brought the black horse to n
standstill in the shadow of clump OF
chaparral and slipped heavily down
from the saddle. lie was all but spent
with hunger and weariness and nerv-
Gus tension. His face was pale and his
knees shook under him. Yet his first
thought was not for himself, but for the
animal beside him.
He removed both saddle and bride
and rubbed down the tired limbs. Then
he led the horse by the name down to
the creek, and they drank together
rrenbar throwing himself prone upon
the sand with his lips laid TO the water.
II was so still there in the low west
crn light. The ripple washing family,
the horses heavy breathing as he drew
the water in in long thirsty draughts
these were the only sounds, but
they smote the air with thrilling dis
tinctness.
Once the horse flung up his head with
u start and thrust his head sharply for
ward in the attitude of listening. In
that moment Trenbars heart seemed to
stand still, but he smiled when the
horse dropped his nose again upon the
water.
Poor old Chief" he said; 81 reckon

drifted over the hot earth filing all its
hpllows to trimming over, he wished
that he had been born with more of her
traits and less of those that mad char

dark. The horse was feeding near by,
Trenbar called him still nearer; then
because the quiet was SO soothing and
he so dead tired he rolled over on his
face and went to sleep.
He was awakened by the quick thud
of ssloois and opened his eyes just in
time to see Chief fly past him on the

head thrown up. snorting and palpitat-
ing with excitement.
Trenbar sprang to his feet with his
revolver in his hand. The moon had
risen full and clear, and by its light
he saw not dozen rods away two men
riding cautiously toward him.
Halt" shouted a voice. Throw up
your hands, Jim Trenbar. l know yer
and we've got the drop on yer"
"Gentlemen!" cried Trenbar, 4"
Throw up your hands, | say"
The sheriff dismounted from his
spent pony and came forward. The
moonlight glanced from the polished
barrels of the two revolyers which he
held, one in either hand, leveled at
Trenbar's breast.
II amt no horse thief" Trenbar said,
earnestly. Before God, | amt. That
horse is mine. never had one cent
for him. Cronwright's got the money
and the broncho that he gave me to
pay for him. took them back the
very next day"
''See here, Trenbar." said the sheriff
grimly. ~ didn't come here to waste
words. come here TO do business
My orders are to take you and the
horse, dead or alive. Cronwright's got
witnesses to the hull transaction, and
Cronwright amt n man to fool with
Throw up your hands!"
"NeNer!" cried Trenbar. His wild
black eyes met those of the sheriff un-
ninchingly. His slight, straight figure
was drawn TO its fullest height. But
the sheriff had faced too many desper-
ate men to be afraid of this one.
Throw up yer hands, curse yer" he
snarlcd. 81 don't banker after doing
any shooting, but l shall let daylight

Trenbar made feint of throwing up
his hands, but the sheriff was too quick
for him. Though both men fired al
most simultaneously, it was the sher-
iff's bullet alone that took effect. Tren-
bar reeled, clutched at his breast and
fell heavily forward face downward in
the moonlight.
When the smell of the powder had
cleared away, Chief, feeling instructive
ly that something was wrong with his
master, advanced timidly to his side
and shifted suspiciously at his cloth

to catch him.-Detroit Free Press.

The Boise Statesman in a re-
cent editorial entitled, "Political
Bird-catching," in quoting at
some length from the Tribune,
refers to it as "the leading organ
of the (Silver Republican, party
in the state" In this connection
we only wish to state, first, that
the Tribune is not in any sense
an organ, and, second, that it.

the Silver Republican party. 1t
feels that little honest plain
speaking is needed to clear the
political atmosphere in Bannock
county. The Democrats last fall
made their selfish purposes and
double dealing sufficiently evil
dent here in Bannock to satisfy
the most credulous and, as the
Statesma" remarks, Gin vain is the
net spread in sight of the bird, .

calls it, is a gospel truth that had
its origin in the inspiration Of one

Senator ShOup Talks Of Their Brill

Good Fight.

Good Fight.
Senator Shoup arrived yester-
day from Washington, accom-
panied BY his family. He is en-
ioying fairly good health, al
though still suffering somewhat
from the finishing touches Of a
siege of grip.
Senator Shoup feels the great
est pride in the record made and
being made by the Idaho boys at
Manila. "They are making his
tory, those brave lads of Idaho, /"
he said yesterday, "and they will
make more of it if they are given
the opportunity"
The senator called to mind the
applications that were made at
one time to have the Idaho's, who
were sickened of barracks duty,
sent home. AT that time he de-
clined to endorse the application
He felt that an opportunity would
present itself for the Idaho boys
to win fame on the field of battle.
clad they come home them
he said, "the historian would have
little to say Of Idaho when he
came to writing the story of the
war in the Philippines. Now he
can tell of glorious achievements
of the boys from our state. While
my heart is sad at the thought of
the loss we have sustained, still
feel that the people of the state
as a whole would rather the boys
had remained than to have come
home before given an opportunity |
to give their country real service, |
leaving others to fight the battles
they should have fought. My
heart swells with pride as l dwell
upon the brilliant record they
have made.
a believe now, however, that
they should be sent home as soon
as practicable, and to that end l
have labored to secure regulars
to take their places. They have
fought the good fight, they have
done their duty and they are now
entitled to be relieved"
Speaking of the Fort Hall
treaty, Senator Shoup said it was
impossible to get it through the
house, He secured an amend
nent in the senate to the Indian
appropriation bill which consti-
nted an opening wedge but it
vas stricken out in conference.
The fight for the treaty, he says,
will be renewed at the next !
session.

Liechtenstein is a remarkable
country. Many of our readers
would, no doubt like to be Liech-
tensteiners if they were not Amer
leans. The Haak1nytey Zeftamp
enumerates some of the unique
advantages enjoyed by the "sub-
jects" of Prince Johann II in an
article which we summarize as
follows:
"In 1916 the subjects of John I
told him that they did not mind
his governing them, but, as he
was SO very rich, they thought it
unnecessary to pay him for his
trouble. Moreover, would he
mind leaving at home the fifty
men and one drummer which
Liechtenstein has to furnish to the
imperial German army? Prince
John laughed, 4 do not need

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.

Names of some of the Principal Brands
Sold In this Vicinity.
The recent discussion in the papers Of
the effect upon the human system of food
made with alum powders has caused nu-
merous inquiries for the names of the va
rious alum powders.
In Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
many other states, of such Importance do
the food authorities deem the matter,
that the names of alum powders are Of
ficially made public, and in two states, at
least, the laws provide that there shall
be printed upon the labels of all packages
of this class of powders the statement
that they contain alum.
Information as to the list here given
has been obtained from the official report
of the Massachusetts State Board of
Health, from the Agricultural Depart
ment chemist at Washington, and from
other equally reliable authority:

their goods in this way greatly aided by
the ambition of the grocer to sell pow
