THE CALIFORNIA MUSTANG.
a Lost Branch Of Horsebreeding Tha1
the State Now Regrets. s;.ss:z.

A Lost Branch Of Horsebreeding That
5 the State Now Regrets.
Thirty years ago, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, much Of the southern
part Of the state was devoted to the
pasturage of mustangs. Tens Of thou
sands Of these Wiry and hardy animals.
We're herded on the big Spanish grants.
They We're exterminted to make way
for orchards, orange groves, vine
yards and other forms Of modern ag-.
ricultural industries. Had they been
in existence today, they would have
been worth stack of money to their,
owners, as they would have made just
the kind of cavalry horse that the
British government is now searching
the world over for to serve as mounts
for it's South African cavalry and
mounted infantry. The California
mustang was the hardest specimen
Of his race. He could live and grow
fat where a we'll bred horse would die
OF starvation. No thoroughbred ami
NAL ever reared could endure as much
abuse and show as little distress Fif-"
ty or sixty miles in a day under the
saddle for weeks at stretch would
not break his spirit or stall him. If
Little Bobs'" cavalry and mounted
Infantry had been astride California
mustangs, instead of tender, high bred
stock, mortality of 1900 animals
would not be recorded today against
those branches of the British army
service. The California mustang was,
in fact, an ideal light cavalry horse,
So long as the herds lasted the United
States army drew upon them for the
recruiting of it's own troops in the Tn
dian campaigns, and it was largely due
TO the mustangs greater endurance
and superior speed that Uncle Sans
men were successful in overtaking the
Indians. when the latter were on the
Warpath and mounted on their wiry
ponies: The passing of, the Califor-
MIA mustang was in many respects
local calamity, for the animal which
has succeeded him on California farms,
While larger, sleeker and fleeter, is not
possessed of the same wonderful stam-
ina and ability to live on the short ra-
tions afforded by a sunburned veldt or
a parched plain. Some of his blood
has been injected into the so-called
improved stock now in use in the
southern counties, but the pure blood
ed mustang is virtually q. thing of the
past, which many. horse breeders
would at present, no doubt, like to re-
store. .-... .s.}5. a. .....s>s =.

Barbara thought it over, and decided
that if being sensible meant marrying
Giles Ferguson she must persist in be-
ing foolish. The next time her father
returned to the charge he put his plea
on personal grounds. His pathetic
representation of his position was
rather effective. The improvements
in his Office building had cost much
more than he had fancied they would.
An Eastern firm, on whose leniency he
had relied, were pressing him for an
Immediate payment of a heavy ac-
count. Ferguson had practically re-

Barbara had declined to marry him.
He could find better use for his money

Bessinger, IF thought you cared for

What happened during the next ten
days it would be a waste Of time to
tell. Most people will know either by
intuition or experience, and besides
that particular period has no bearing
on the point Of this truthful chronicle
The curtain for the last act rises on
Miss Bess Jordan and Thomas Tomp-
kins, oarsman, sitting side by side on
the bank Of the lake. The arm Of
Tompkins was about the waist of Miss
Jordan. 5:# Il. n 4. a,:=&gl s@4 L. E.sE5 E=5sE5
Nov, Bess, DEAR he was saying,
= am sure you love me in the good
old way. A girl as rich as you are,
with all the attractions of your gay
life in the city before you, could not
promise to marry poor guide and
fisherman unless she did love him
more than all the world L
have been surprised a hundred
times that you. did not send
me about my business. But,
gradually have learned that you care
nothing for wealth or social position.
You are able tosrecognize a man under
torn blue flannel shirt. You only
ask for love, and when you find man
who loves you and whom you love in
return nothing is allowed to stand in
the way. So now, dear, that know
what wonderful girl you are I have
little confession to make.''
Which Thomas Edwards, clubman,
lawyer and millionaire, thought was
really clever way of leading up to
the disclosure of his real identity. But
the girl was before him. -.
Pardon me, Tom," she said, "I'ye
got little confession to make myself.
Or perhaps I'd better call you Mr.. Ed
wards now"
Mr.. Edwards, alias Tompkins, sat up
straight against white birch tree and
looked at her.
"You remember that first day you
rowed us across to the island?
thought it queer then that an oarsman
who was rowing around looking for
odd jobs should be wearing an old seal
ring and that he should have the key
of college fraternity on his black
watch chain. Then, too, I saw you
wink at Mr.. Elliot when you took
that dollar from papa. H.
'You remember the day you point
ed out the chimneys Of the house
where Thomas Tompkins, being your
own august self, lived? I went over
there and found the place occupied
by family of Norwegian farmers
who had never heard Of a man by the
name Of .Tompkins. Thomas, ii you

Edwards, "do you propose to do now;?s,'

"that since I am engaged to marry
Tom Tompkins Mr.. Edwards had bet

of course, he feels himself equal to
making the matter clear to me and the
Hon. Jabez Jordan. And even then
don't see how you can ever forgive
yourself for deceiving poor, unso-
phisticated girl from Chicago"

Because She Loved Him So"

William Gillette's latest success "Be-
cause She Loved Him SO" which has
been styled "The Little Minister of
Farce" will be seen for the first time
in this city at the Auditorium next
Saturday, March 10. This is the play
which packed the Madison Square
Theatre in New York all last season
and everywhere it has been this season
1t has duplicated its New York success.
The piece is an adoption of a French
farce by Bisson and Leclercq. 1t is
heard to believe that such a cleanly
and innocuous plot ever saw Paris or
that Paris ever laughed at it. Mr..
Gillette is such clever adapter that
the result is an agreeable mixture of
rearing farce and dainty comedy.
Their are scenes which actually possess
tina tender quality of humor which
touches the heart and there are scenes
which are so violently ncnsensical
that one must not think about them at
all, but simply laugh. The play will
be produced under the direction of
Pulius Calm, who has sent in a num-
ber of good plays in the past. Seals
will be on sale at Gates book store
