" . ae there existed difference of opinion between young woman and her pony. The cayuse was circling around at the end of bridle, and the young woman was serving as the pivot of the circumference in vain attempt to persuade the animal to let her mount.
 Henley flung himself from his horse and rendered his services gloom fly. In five seconds he had brought the pony to time and was offering a hand as mount. From the saddle the young woman explained
 'sI got off to pick some of those columbines and I found that Cal was opposed to our renewing acquaint- ance. I'm afraid I should have had to walk if you had not happened to come along, Mp
 Henley" said the young man of that name, briefly. '"You're all right now. I suppose"
 "Yes, all right, thank you;" and the young woman galloped away
 Doesn't em very friendly. He might at least have asked my name,'' thought Miss Lyndona Forsyth, teach CT of the school yat the Half Way house. "I don't think I've ever seen face at once so sad and so reckless. Looks like a gentleman too. shouldn't wonder if there isn't his tory behind those great eyes.''
 With which Miss Forsyth, being em- inently practical, dismissed the young man from her mind for the present. They met each other frequently in the months that followed, though their acquaintance continued to limp until one morning she found him lying on the ground in front of the school house.
 "A new pupil, Miss Forsyth" he. called out to her with his cynical laugh. Didn't want to be late the first day, so I came last night. Afraid you'll have to excuse me from rising. Fact is, my pony's foot went into prairie dogs hole and I came a crop. per. Sorry to trouble you, but I'm afraid I shall have to ask one of your hopefuls to ride over to the Bar 2 outfit with the news. I've broken my arm."
 But you don't mean that you've been here all night,' she said, in dis may, noticing that his face was white and drawn with pain.
 .Yes, I-you needn't waste any pity on me. It was my own fault" he said, grufdy, flushing to the roots of his hair.
 Miss Forsyth's eyes grew grave. She was from New England, and at heart the Puritan instincts of her an cestors still swayed her. She under

 I'M HENLEY, manager and part (I owner of the Bar cattle ranch got his first sight of the new teacher at the Half Way house just after he had recovered from one of his period ical sprees. He was riding along gloomily with his cayuse at a walk and the young man was putting in his time hating himself savagely. In point of fact, Henley always despised himself after one of his ontbursts, but they happened none the less reg ularly on that account.
 He was a younger son of an old English family, d university man Col. lege of St. Ambrose, Oxford), and a gentleman; add to which he was the pluckiest man in the San Joaquin valley-or at least one of the nerv- jest, and that is. a pretty large or. der-a splendid rider, a good shot, a handsome fellow in devil-may-care fashion, and was possessed of reck lessness enough to sink a threedeck- CT. His vices were those which 1sprang from incidence and unsteadi. ness of purpose, but at bottom he had the manliness out of which stanch men are made. The trouble with him was that he had always had more money than he knew what to dc with, and unworthy companions who were quite ready to assist him on the downhill road. The result was that he had long since come to feel a cynical distrust about himself.
 I'm bad egg, and the sooner I'm bowled clean in the middle stump the better it will be for my people," he told himself, in the mixed figures he was wont to employ. "The devil of it is that I'm liable to live 100 years yet. Hello! What'sthe matter here?'
 The matter appeared to be that

Hall and McLaren to Take Part in Six
 Days Race at Madison Square.
 On board the steamship Philadelphia of the American line. which arrived Saturday, were William T. Hall and G. H. McLaren, an English team of long distance cyclists. They are here for the purpose of competing in the six days bicycle race which begins next Sunday night at Madison Square gar den. They complete the list of those who have crossed the ocean in ordei. to win honor and money, if possible. in q long journey on the wheel. Both are record holders in England, and Floyd Mcfarland picked them out of many who were anxious to represent England.
 Gougoltz, Simar, Fisher, Chevalier, Fredericks. Muller. De Roeck, Kefff, Jaak and Lepoutre. who have been hard at work since arriving i'll this country. are all confident of success. Jimmy West. who is training them at Berkeley Oval, is pleased over the good condition of the men. and is sure that he will have at least four teams among the leaders at the finish. He will also train Hall and McLaren.
 Billy" King and WHIP Samuelson of Salt Lake city. and Gus Fertos and John Peterson of Cleveland are the two latest teams to enter the race. This makes nine American teams in training for the international race.

Then came the great blizzard in the San Joaquin valley. All day the storm had been growing worse and by the afternoon it had developed into bliz- gard in which no living thing could be out and retain life. At the Bar z ranch they worked like Trojans to get things ship-shape for the night, and just before dusk Henley dropped into his chair weary man.
 He was up again like flash, for it had come to him suddenly that Miss Forsyth might be still at the school house. To the amazement of his men and despite their protests he mounted and rode to the ranch house where she stayed. She had not arrived They were in great fear for her, but no man cared to-venture out into the bowling blizzard, for they counted it sure death.
 How Jim Henley fought his way to the sehoolhorse; how his horse sue cumbed and he pushed on alone; how the bitter cold and the unendura ble wind took the sap of life out of him; how he fell and rose and fell again, still fighting forward step by step against the grimmest enemy that ever manccnquered: howhe found Lyndona Forsyth in the drift all but dead, and won atlength to the schoolhouse with her; how they were together for three days without food except some few scraps, cut off from a rescue by the raging blizzard, and how next spring the Methodist minister at the Half Way house joined in wedlock James Marlborough Henley and Lyndona For syth, the ranchers of the valley still delight to tell.

THE MEADOW LARK.

A sea of grass on either side The prairie stretches far and wide; It's undulating line of blades Reflects the noontide lights and shades, Ana brings before me one by one The pictures wrought by wind and sun. And silence reigns, save for the breeze And untitled hum of droning bees, Till in the sum mer hush I hear A prairie signal sweet and clear, In mournful, piercing notes that marx The whistle of the meadow-lark. Like one wild cry for loved and lost, From lone spirit empest-tossed, It walls across the waving grass, And, blending with the winds that pass It scatters echoes at my feet So full of pain, so deadly sweet. Ohi heart of hearts, could my unrest Find such song within my breast, My passionate and yearning cry Would echo on from sea to sky Along the path ef future yesrs, And touch the listening world to tears.

Mckinley Found TIm !.

Perhaps President McKinley's influ- ence on men who complain that they ''can't find time" to be devoted and affectionate in their homes will be as noble one as any that he exerted throughout his life. There was man admittedly the foremost in the world, with all the important and vexatious questions that the occupancy of so exalted a position could bring before him to be settled, and yet he found time to be what is called in homely phraseology slave to his wife, And he found time simply because he had the inclination to so minister to her wants. That was one character istic of this notable man that aroused the admiration and respect of every one whose respect is worth the hay- ing, and was one more proof to be added to many others that one who has the will can find the way Bos- ton Transcript.

SULLIVAN WILL BE FIRST

Ireland's little featlerweisIt puciI 1st, Dave Sullivan. will have the dis tinctiOn of being the first to meet Young Corbett for the chamDfonshin of the world. This agreement was reached at a meeting between Sullivan and the conquerOr of Terry McGOvern at the MetrOpole hotel Saturday night. The match was of Sullivan's own seek ing. The diminutive Irish fighter aD- preached the new champion in the din ing room of the MetrOpoIe and asked for a match Corbett shook hands cor dially with the Irishman. and after m Interesting talk. promised Sullivan tie first match. All the details for tie contest will be decided upon at q meet ing between the principals at .he NfetropOle this afternoon.

stood nm 10 mean that he had been intoxicated at the time, and her heart rebelled against the weakness of this debonair young man with the splendid eyes of fire. It was bad enough for the other cowmen to get on their year ly sstears," but for a man with dor mant possibilities like this one the sin was the greater. At the same time she confessedto herself that she was very greatly interested in the young fellow lying on the ground be- fore her and looking upat her with the cynical sardonic smile and the eyes so full of scorn at himself
 Henley ,on his part was also very much taken with this rather fine-look- ing young woman whose manner was unconsciously so eloquent of judg- .ment on him. It had been long time since any woman of that type had been interested enough in him to care whether he went to the dogs or not. Indeed, woman had started him there in the first place by jilting him for more eligible match. Some ap- pealing quality in her gray eyes stirred him now 10 say, with the ironic gleam in his eye:
 "A fine specimen, is it not, Miss Forsyth? You'll have a chance to study the remittance man at his best, you know. One of the most prolific products of the Rocky mountain re- zion is the remittance man, originally an. exotic transplanted at great ex- pense from England for his family's good"
 ''You mustn't talk that way-as if you didn't care,' she said, gently.
 "Do you happen to care?' he asked her, looking out of bold unabashed eyes.
 She flushed uneasily. .Of course I care at seeing. such waste of human life. It is one of the saddest things have ever seen"
 He drew long breath and groaned.
 .'Is your arm paining you. very much? she asked.
 "Arm? No!" he said savagely. s'What's broken arm 10 shout about? I'm doing the baby act because Heav- ems opened to me after I've elected hell.''
 That was the last of Jim Henley's "sprees." He fought his fight out grimly and won. Even the Christmas season passed without the usual jolli- fcation. But, oddly enough, the friendship between Henley and Miss Forsyth did not progress. Perhaps the memory of that morning when she had found him victim of his own weakness rose as a barrier between them. At any rate there was subtle reserve in their speech and manner that grew greater rather than less,
