Although the woundmust have caused
him exquisite pain, the desperate drew
his remaining weapon instantly with
his left hand and at the moment Tur-
ner appeared and coolly took his place
at his side.
There's too many of 'em," he said,
after a comprehensive glance about
him. WED better light out!"
Bowers reply was to send bullet
within half an inch of Toms head, but
it was his last shot, for the second
mate, who had stolen behind the hut,
suddenly sprang at him with heavy
club and stretched him senseless on
the ground.
When Turner found himself alone
and looking into the muzzles of so
many weapons, he dropped his own,
held his hands up above his head and
said quietly:
Don't shoot, pards! gives in!"
''Tie him up!" ordered Tarbox
1t was soon done, and while Tom was
assuring his sweetheart that he had
not been injured one of the other men
started a fire. Obed Rider was evidently
mortally wounded, and all that could
be done was to make him as comfort
able as possible. He was gently lifted
and carried inside the hut, while Bow
ers was secured as soon as he recov-
cred consciousness.
The mate had been shot through the
lungs, and after examining his wound
Taylor shook his head and said bluntly:

You are a dying man."
Rider did not dispute him. Perhaps
with the approach of death some warn
ing came to him, for he said in feeble
tones:
"Die Yes, I feel that I've made my
last voyage. Call Scott here"
Tom came at once, and as he knelt by
the dying man and gazed into his pale
face, upon which the shadow of death
was already beginning to settle, he for
got his long cherished vengeance and
said softly:
I'm here, Rider. lean guess what
you want to say. It's all right now
Don't fret over what you've done to
me. It doesn't matter. Can I do any
thing to make you any easier? Have
you any message to sendtoyourfo folks? 2"
''Tell 'em anything but the truth" ;"
said the dying man. They mustn't
know what a bad end l came to. I must
tell you something while I can. It's
about your father"
"My father!"
Tom drew closer to Rider and ex-
claimed:
Quick! What do you mean?

the other. I'm getting faint"
Tom darted off, and soon returned

A Narrow Escape.

From the New York Times: 'We
were travelling from Ell Paso to the
coast" said the advance man of
theatrical combination, land the por-
ter had tucked us snugly in our births
when we were awakened to the con-
sciousness that our train was held
up. The robbers marched us out OF
the car and made us deliver. Fortu-
nately not one of us had more than
few dollars in cash. But the man
who held up the car porter gave a yelp
of delight:
See what I've found! Put 'e,n
back; start the train!'
In the careless porter's vest pocket
they had discovered a roll of bills as
big as the pocket would hold. 1t
looked as if there must have been sew
eral hundred dollars. We all knew of
the profitable righteousness of the
Pullman car porter, but never
dreamed that his accumulations were
so large. Yet the friendly human
spark of forgiveness and sympathy
was in our hearts for the poor fellow
losing SO much at one fell swoop.
We were gathered in tie smoking
compartment and had consolation

HIGH COLLARS
Destroy POise of the Head and Spoil GracefuIness of the
 Neck.

Artists assert that the high collars now worn by young women have de- stroyed the boise of the head and the lines of the neck. An artist who has studied the originals of the old masters for years says the human form has not only suffered by the use of unnatural collars, but that many of the most beautiful lines have been lost through their influence.
 Wearing a stiff, high neckband will change the poise of the head to marked degree, and this habit, con tinued through many years, causes important changes in the muscles of the neck, which soon become perma- nent. From an artistic standpoint there has been considerable change in the ideal of feminine beauty dur ing recent years, and a comparison of paintings of women by old mas ters and by modern artists shows surprising difference, as far as the neck is concerned.
 In old paintings the poise of the head is perfectly natural and graceful. and the lines of the neck are round and in graceful curves. In modern studies of woman's figure the curves of the neck and shoulders have ai- most disappeared.
 The effect of the high collar is ire quently hurtful from the health point of view. A very high band about the neck intends to strain the muscles and, incidentally, the cords of the neck and shoulders. If the collar be very high in front it will impede the circulation, and in time result in head aches and nervous strain It is also thought that high and stiff neck bands are responsible. by impeding circulation, for much of the bad sight Of tba Drase-F Nav & 2z z-Herald-
