She saw the maddened herd. driven

Ward wss lying. and. knowing that his
horse had strayed way and that no
earthly power could turn the living
wave of terror aside. she struck her
horse with her whip and rode straight

When she reached the tree the front

Striking the foaming flank of the
horse with his hat he shouted:
"On. IN. Lola, or we are LOST"
She turned her head and looked into
his eyes.

The Texan comprehended her mean

allied that the Indian girl loved him.
Fearing that she might execute her
suggestion and sacrifice herself to save
him. he instantly grasped her in his
arms, and it was in that moment of
peril that their troth was plighted.
The horse came upon smooth ground.

"kIsHt there says the Texan, Il

The noble horse continued to in
crease the distance between his heels
and the sharp horns of his pursuers
until he again encountered rough
ground.
Ward at this moment for the first
time thought of his pistol. and hurried
ly drawing the weapon he poured Il
stream of lead into the faces of the
cattle.
Ward turned his head. and with n
shout of eXhultation he threw his hat
into the faces of the leaders of the
stampeded herd as the horse plunged
into water that the flames could
not cross. The Texan knew that the
hot steers would stop to cool their
parched tongues. and when the horse
had crossed the river he pressed a kiss
on the Indian girls cheek and whis-
pered to her:

IRONING a SHIFT WAIST.

Not infrequent1y young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

WHlRLWlND IN BALTIMORE.
Hundreds OF Houses Unroofed And q

Baltimore, July ga fierce tornado

ordinary velocity, thunder, vivid light
ming and a heavy rain suddenly burst
upon Baltimore, coming from the
southwest, with the net result that
eleven persons lost their lives, hun
dreds of houses were unroofed, trees in

aged and several people injured.
The storm exhausted its fury in less

The damage done in the business
part of the city was comparatively
slight, being confined to the blowing
down af signs and injuries to roofs. 1t
was in the residence portions of the
city, along the river front and in the
harbor where the wind spent its vio-
lence.
OF those who persisted, nine were
drowned in the harbor from open boats,
one was killed by falling tree and
one by a live wire.

THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
is Drowned Out BY Floods From
Central Iowa.
LOSSES CAN'T BE COMPUTED.

Keolkuk, Ia, July s1.-Heavy rains
in central Iowa are sending a flood
down upon prosperous Missouri farm
ers which will ruin many of them and
cause losses aggregating at a conserva-
tive estimate, two and a half million
dollars There seems TO be no hope
for the country between the Mississippi
river and its Missouri bluffs between
Keol1uk and Hannibal, three hundred
square miles. mostly planted to corn,
with some thousands of acres of wheat
in the shock. The water had touched
the damage line the first of last week
and had began to recede when heavy
floods started again in the Des Meines,
Skunk and Iowa rivers. With stage
in the Des Moines river only three feet
below the tops of the great levees the
river began to rise three inches an
hour at its mouth here, continuing
until the factor of safety was wiped
out. A rise of one and half feet in
short time at Ottumwa, and further
rise throughout its length below the
capital city, was prevented from run
ming out freely by a rise of a foot and
a half at Davenport, increasing and
coming down rapidly. The Egyptian
levee, which stood the food just re-
cedinE after strenuous efforts to hold
it, including the instruction of farm
houses to secure lumber for strength
ening the dyke, is only slightly above
the water now, and the coming food
in the Des Moines will top it certainly.
This will let the water into hundreds
of square miles, including the town of
Alexandria. The corn crop in the
flooded district is all made and wheat
is in the shock, and as result the
farmers will lose all their years work.
Grain men put the figures of the loss
from the overflow at nearer four mill
lions between Keolulx and Hannibal.
Half the country for a distance Of
thirty miles between LaGrange and
Hannibal was already under water
long before the crest of the food ar
rived.

of 1892 has the Mississippi river been
