this danger might result disastrously
to the invalid woman, she was in a
dilemma till suddenly her eyes fell on
the violin.
She did not trust herself to speak
but snatched up the instrument and
began playing.
Louder and louder she drew out the
strains Of the violin, and while her
fingers responded to the cry of her
terror stricken soul her thoughts flew
out across the water. Wac her father
vainly attempting to reach them
through the thick darkness? Had Mr..
Herriott lost his way in the woods or
been compelled by the fire to turn
back? Had her mother fallen from
weakness and suffocation in the track
OF the flames?
These horrible suppositions and
questionings had been suddenly ended
by the appearance of the girls father
and Mr.. Herriott.
When Mrs. Herriott came to fully
understand the mental agony Hazel
had suffered ON her account and saw
Mrs. Hills SCARED hands her admira-
ton for the western women made her
oblivious to her own ills. Her graft
tude found material expression in the
offer OF full course of music in an
eastern conservatory for the brave, tai
ented young girl.
Whether young Herriott had failed
to realize Hazers unusual beauty until
the night he burst into the cabin and
beheld her, an impassioned Euterpe, is
his own affair. Anyhow, it is said
that when the talented heroine returns
from the east with her musical desires
gratified she may become the daughter
in-law of the woman whose life she
saved by playing the violin.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
The Boer War Seems to Have Much Bsttered
Their Condition.

The Boer War Seems to Have Much Bsttered
Their Condition.
History does not afford parallel in
stance OF people who, in losing all in
the hazard Of war, gained so much as
has the Boer race in the late terrible
and protracted conflict. At the begin
ming of their contention with Eng
land the Beers were the most obscure
and disregarded race OF European
stock on the face of the earth. In
the very nature of things, if they had
been let alone the race would have
been overwhelmed and absorbed in
course of time. But the war which
wasted their country, destroyed their
homes, broke their political independ-
ence and nearly decimated their mum.
bers, has given to the race a new and
probably a permanent lease of life. 1t
has emphasized their nationality and
established them as a special people in
the worlds respect, secured for them
under the strongest guarantees self
government with the perpetuation of
conditions calculated to preserve their
laws and language, with such provis-
ion in ready money for the restoration
of their homes and farms as will en-.
able them to replace an antiquated
and outworn system with one better
suited to this age and to the progress
OF their country. No other country
ever found itself possessed through de-
feat OF such striking advantages. No
race ever SO established its character
and secured fixed and honorable
status in the world through the pro-
cess of losing its independent national
existence.

younsster Was On"

According to Representative Kyle
this episode happened in Pickaway
county, Ohio:
There is in the county a certain
cross roads, where patient teacher
struggles daily with the development
of the young idea. One morning she
was giving the school lesson in geog'
raphy.
What is cataractf" she asked.
There was absolute silence in re.
sponse, and she explained the mean
ing OF the word.
"What is q capes"
This was better. One OF the child
rem knew it was q point OF land jut'
ting out into the water.
"What is = straitr
Over in a corner q hand went up
al know, teacher" said small boy.
"Well, what is iti"
"It beats three OF q kind" was the
| triumphant answer.

were the leaders. In speech on the
objects of the meeting Jackson COM
menced a harangue on socialism
Chairman Edwards thereupon re-
signed and two-thirds of the repre-
sentatives left the hall declaring they
did not believe in injecting politics
into unionism.
Miss Willie Mae Baker, the Seattle
girl who had the unique though not
altogether desirable distinction of re.
naming in the company of Desperate
Tracy for a whole half a day, when
hundreds of deputies on all sides of
them were seeking his life, was mar
ried to Lee McKenny, Wednesday, at
the home OF the brides parents in Sc
attle. The groom is the son of Mrs.
McKenny, who with her little daugh-
ter Ada, was picking berries with Miss
Baker at the time Tracy met them
and introduced himself. Another
strange fact in connection with the
personnel of the people who attended
the wedding was the brides father, J.
w. Baker, and her two unclee, Henry
and Emmitt Baker, WHO were arrested
at Castle Rock during the memorable
man-hunt, suspected of being Tracy
and two pals. Miss Baker disting.
uished herself chiefly, for her great
presence OF mind and unconcernedness.
1t will be remembered that instead of
screaming when Tracy made himself
known to her, she said enthusiastic
cally: "Really, Mr.. Tracy, am glad
to meet you." Then during the entire
walk from the meeting place to the
Garrells' home the two kept up run
ming fire of banter and repartee that
was asto nishing, considering the un.
usual circumstances.

A number Of years ago he was
