CHAPTER XV.-(Continued.)
Though completely exhausted and
scarcely able to sit on their horses, Mabel
and Jennie urged their protectors to hur-
ry on.

earnestly.

"We have"
''And to believe in my Judgment"
"We shall"
"Then my advice is to rest and feed
the animals that have carried us so far
in safety Even though you might bear
up under the strain for a while, | am
sure they could not. So, while they rest
and feed, we must do the same. We
may have more need Of our strength and
their speed"
AS Mon-nah spoke she sprang lightly
from her horse, and, with st. Armand,
came to help the wearied girls to dis
mount.
But" said Mabel, holding back, ''if
we must rest, why not get more secure
place Z!
There is no place within many miles
more secure than this" said Mon-nah.
''I'H swear to that" added st. Ar
mand, with characteristic impetuosity.
'Now, let me explain. We can see here
for miles on every hand. We have here
food and shelter for ourselves, and the
finest grass in the territory for our horses.
Neither the Sioux nor Richmond would
ever dream of searching for us here,
though my belief is that they think we
are all drowned. Ny plan is always to
accept the first good thing that offers,
and never to feel sorry for the choice"
The horses were staked in the rich
grass near by; an oil cloth was spread on
the grass in the shadow of a tree, and
after Mabel and Jennie had bathed their
faces and hands and eaten, they were
prevailed on to lie down and get some
sleep.

we need fewer and better laws.
And they want to be vol and prop

END or mIssvLg IN SIGHT.

The beginning of . republican vic.
tory this fail. and An end to fusion mis-
rule and vicious extravagance. was
sounded by the central committee
meeting At Denver this week, As the
following from the Denver Times goes
to show:
q. p. FAirley Of Colorado springs
was elected chairman Of the Repubii-
can state central committee by q unan-
nous vote and without opposition. The
various candidates for the honor OF
succeeding TO the place made vacant
by the resignation Of @. d. Ford. were
a unit in supporting Mr.. Farley for
the place after having sounded the
sentiment Of the members Of the COM
mittee. Of which the most complete
representation II In attendance that
ever turned out for . meeting Of the
central committee OF any party at =
date so remote from any campaign.
The committee Is composed OF two
members from each Of the hfty-seven
counties. and more than 100 OF these
responded TO the roll call when w. II.
Brisbane called the meeting TO order
at II O'Clock this morning. The
members Of the committee were quar-
tered at the various uptown hotels
and discussed the political situation
In groups and parties. There Ia .
general feeling that the outlook was
never more promising for tho Repub-
lican party to place candidates In the
field for state ofY,ces who will lead the
party to a sweeping victory. The
people OF the state have had enough
of fusion rule and are anxious for nm
opportunity to intrust to the republi-
can party the affairs Of state is the
tenor OF the sentiment that the mem
bers Of the committee say Is expressed
all over Colorado.
When the first order Of business was
announced to be the selection OF a
chairman. there was some expectan-
cy on the part OF spectators. who had
read In opposition newspapers that
there was lack OF harmony. A. NJ.
Stevenson placed d. b. Farley in
nomination a. candidate for the
place. Charles l.. Dickerson second.
I'D the nomination and moved that the
election be by acclamation. which car
ried unanimously. Chairman Farley
was called on for \ speech, and thank
ed the committee briefly for the honor
conferred. assuring them Of his earn
est desire to serve tho party to the
best OF his ability. He Immediately
entered upon the duties OF the place
and took the chair.
II was announced that the next or
der OF business was the adoption OF
rules to govern the party primaries
conventions and meetings in future
Accordingly, a committee on rules was
appointed. on which were John r. Wv
ian. W. f. Marion. A. r. Brown. Fred
o. Root and James Downer. The
rules reported to the committee by th7
members selected ns q committee on
rules u former meeting were then
read to the full committee and re-
ferred to the special committee. with
instructions to report them back &c

THOSE WHO LAUGH
At a Drunken Man Might Better Weep
For His Family.

How often have you seen drunk.
en- man stagger along the street?
His clothes are soiled from falling,
his face is bruised and his eyes are
dull. Sometimes he curses the boys
that tease him. Sometimes he tries
to smile in a drunken effort to placate
pitiless childish cruelty.
His body, worn out, can stand no
more. and he mumbles that he Is go.
ing home.
The children persecute him, throw
things at him and run ahead OF him.
Grown men and women, too, often
laugh with the children, nudge each
other, and actually find something
humorous in the sight of human be-
ing sunk below the lowest animal.
The sight of a drunken man going
home should make every other man
and woman sad and sympathetic, and,
horrible as the sight Is, 1t should be
useful by inspiring those who see 1t
with resolution to avoid and to help
others to avoid that mans fate.
The reeling drunkard is going
home.
He is going home to children who
are afraid of him, to mother whose
life he has made miserable.
He is going home. taking with him
the worst curse in the world-to suf-
fer bitter remorse himself after hav-
ing inflicted suffering on those whom
he should protect.
And as he goes home, men and wo-
men knowing what the homecoming
meanss laugh at him and enjoy the
sight.
In the old days in the arena 1t oc-
casionally happened that brothers
were set to fight each other. When
they refused to fight they were forced
to 1t by redhot irons applied to their
backs
We have progressed beyond the NOR
al condition of human beings guilty
OF such brutality as that. But we
cannot call ourselves civilized while
our imaginations and sympathies are
so dull that the reellng drunkard is
thought to be a funny spectacle.
