rolling over. the very spot where the res
cued man had been lying. Their car
casses were trampled to jelly by the sharp
hoofs OF the flying herd.
The sure-footed horse bore the Indian
girl and the Texan away at the top OF his
beasts were close to his heels and AZ was
four miles to a place of safety.
Ride straight to the river" shouted
Ward as soon as he was able to command
his voice
II know; 1 know" replied the girl
Maybe we can turn out of the way pretty
sOon," she added.
The, earth seemed to tremble as If con-
vulsed with earthquake, and the air
was filled with roar more appalling than
the noise of a cyclone. Ward turned his
head and was surprised TO see the red
eyes of the mad brutes and their white
horns almost at the horses tail.
Striking the foaming flank Of the horse
with his hat he shouted:
ION, on, Lola, or We are lostw
She turned her head and looked into his
eyes.
Let me slip off," she whispered. 1.-THE
horse could save you: l am too many"
and, in that moment of peril, he realized
that the Indian girl loved him.
Fearing that she might execute her sug-
gestion and sacrifice herself to save him, he
Instantly grasped her in his arms, and il
was in that moment of peril that their troth
was plighted. ts
The horse came upon smooth ground and
away from the herd.
Right there" says the Texan, 81 made
up my mind to love that little Indian girl
forever and L resolved that If we escaped
the danger that pursued us / would do
everything in my power during life TO make
her happy"
The noble horse continued to increase the
distance between his heels and the sharp
horns of his pursuers until he again en-
countered rough ground. Ward at this mo-
ment for the first time thought Of his pistol,
and, hurriedly drawing the weapon he
poured a stream of lead into the faces OF
the cattle.
Ward turned his head and with shout OF
exultation 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 10 cool their
parched tongues and when the horse had
crossed the river lac pressed a kiss on the
Indian girls cheek and whispered to her.
You have saved my life and it belongs to
YOU"
And he will keep his word.

SCALE COIMITTEE's WORK.
Not Half OF the Districts Have Pre-
scented Their Claims.

The scale committee held a session yes
terIay afternoon. but no report will be
made to the convention before tomorrow
afternoon or Tuesday. Not half OF the dis
tricts have presented their demands, so
that the committee can formulate the basis
for demand to be submitted to the joint
conference with the operators. President
W. ID. Van Horn, of the Indiana district
and w D. Ryan, secretary of the Illinois
district, went home last night to spend
Sunday with their families. They will not
return until tomorrow morning, and the
scale cannot be adjusted before that time
The Illinois miners will meet to-day and
settle upon the demands they will submit
10 the scale committee.
While there is nothing tangible to build
on, the indications are that the demand for
<Saan ~ per cent. In view of the fact that
the operators have already announced that
they Will demand a reduction of 10 per
cent, the miners Will ask more than a 10
per cent. advance In order to leave a wider
margin Tor compromise. There is no cues
ton but that a run-Of-mine basis will be
asked for all Of the States in the agree
ment- Not only will the miners fight for a
run-of-mine basis, but the Illinois operators
viii assist them. Illinois is on an absolute
run-Ot-nine basis, which gives other op-
orators, particularly those of Indiana and
Ohio, an unfair advantage i'm the market
owing to the higher scale paid. The Differ,
entail between machine and pick mining
Will also be dealt with and a demand will
be made for a reduction in the present rate
of cents.

Secretary Gage Declines an Offer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA representa-
tive Of the Bankers Trust Company, of ST.
Louis, called on Secretary Gage to-day and
intimated to the secretary that the COM
pany would like to make him proposition
to accept position at the head of it. Mr..
Gage informed his visitor that when he
turned over his Office to his successor he
would locate in either Chicago or New
York. and that he could not entertain
proposition from any other source. 1t is
we'll known among Secretary Cages init
mate friends that, while the New York
offer is a very tempting one his inclination
is very strongly in favor of accepting an
offer from a leading Chicago trust company
and the probabilities are that after taking
a rest of about two months in Florida he
will make his permanent home in Chicago

The New Springfield Rifle.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-General Crozier,
chief of ordnance, has prepared paper in
regard to the new Springfield magazine
rifle practically adopted for the army, in
which he gives some interesting statistics
to show the superiority of that arm COM
pared with the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, now
in use in our army the Mauser and the
German military rifle. These figures show
among other things that the new United
States service rifle has an initial Velocity of
300 feet per second against 1900 feet for
the Krag-Jorgenson, 2200 feet for the
Mauser and PAS for the German rifle.

respects the new service rife, including
bayonet and sea bbard, is lighter than either
of the other arms The new rifle has a
caliber of 80 inches, the same as the Krag-
Jorgensen, and all four of the rifles named
