herd Of Texas steers stampeded the in
slant they scented danger and started
south, believing with terror. The
horses caught the contagion and min
gled with the flying steers, snorting as
if pack of panthers were at their
heels. There were about 500 full-grown
Texas steers in the herd and seventy
or eighty head of horses. This moving

ing than the noise of cyclone Ward
turned his head and he was surprised
to gee 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:
"On. on, Lola. Or We are lost!'
She turned her head and looked into
his eyes.
Let me slip Off she whispered.
THE horse could save you; I am too
many"
The Texan comprehended her mean
ing and in that moment of peril he re-
allied that the Indian girl loved him.
Fearing that she might execute her
suggestion and sacrifice herself to save
arms, and it was in that moment Of
peril that their troth was plghted.
The horse came upon smooth ground.
and in short time he began to get
farther away from the herd.
Right there" says the Texan. Il
made up my mind to love that little
Indian girl forever and resolved that
il we escaped the danger that pursued
us I would do everything in my power
during life to make her happy"
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 a
stream of lead into the faces of the
cattle.
Ward turned his head. and with a
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 kiss
on the Indian girls cheek and whis-
pered to her:
You have saved my life, and it be-
longs to you.
And he will keep his word.

settlement of the West, Is to marry one
of the palefaces against whom her IA
ther battled so long. She won the love
and lifelong devotion of her future
husband by the manner in which she
fearlessly offered her own life in order
to save him. Lola, the Red Rose of
the Forest as her people call her, will
marry Houston A. Ward, one Of the
wealthiest and most accomplished
young men in southern Texas. And
this happy elimination grows out of
singulary beautiful romance, one
scene of which is blood d-curdling and
exciting enough to form the nucleus
OF highly successful melodrama. 1t
was while flying for life from prairie

that the love of the young couple was

proud of certain trophies won on the
Fairgrounds and diploma won in the
classrooms of the college at Cham
paign, Ill.
Last summer the grass was scarce in
the Rio Grande Galley and Houston
Ward shipped some 400 or 500 head Of
cattle to the Indian territory. Find
ing abundant pasture lands, the young
man remained for some time in the
vicinity of Fort Sill, where he made
the acquaintance of the pretty Indian
girl who will soon become his wife.
The gallant Texan frequently sought
the company of the dusky belle of the
border, often dancing and riding with
her, but he now says that he did not
know that he loved her until one even
ing he found her fingers in his hair,
and upon opening his eyes, in flame
and smoke, he felt the earth trembling
beneath his feet, while his ears were
filled with the noise of cyclone.

over the prairie looking at his cattle,
and becoming tired he dismounted and

She saw the maddened herd, driven
by sea of flame, rushing furiously on

Ward was lying, and, knowing that his
horse had strayed away and that no
earthly power could turn the living
wave of terror aside. she struck her
horse with her whip and rode straight
toward the rapidly approaching herd.
When she reached the tree the front
rank of the mad steers was not twenty
steps away. The flames were leaping
in the air over the backs of the ami

doubling whether he could perform the
feat. he yielded to the girls hand and
quickly sprang upon the horse behind
her.
AS the noble animal turned. the
horns OF the steers crashed against the
tree and several of the big brutes fell
headlong, rolling over the very spot

VICTOR EMMANUEL IN BERLIN
Gay Cavalcade and Packed Thor
Oughfares Greet the King.

Berlin, August 2S.-The entry of King
and his drive through the unter den
linden was advanced purposely half an
hour before the published time as a pre-
caution against possible disorder. Con-
sequently the great crowds which We're
packed into place IN o III before by
the police at the Brandenburg gate
were astonished by the arrival at a
brisk trot Of a gorgeous cavalcade sur
rounding a six horse carriage in which
sat Emperor William and a small man
in a dark uniform, pulling at a blonde
moustache.
The carriage stopped and the crowds
ceased cheering in order to see what
would happen. The chief burgomaster,
Herr kirSchner, advanced and read an
address of welcome from a parchment
scroll. Behind the burgomaster stood
bareheaded a hundred representatives
of the city in evening dress. The read
ing was owe in less than a minute. The
Italian King then turned to the Ger
man Emperor and asked him if he
should reply. The Emperor shook his
head negatively and the king thereupon

hanked him. Then a deputatiOn of
young ladies advanced on the other side
of the carriage and gave the Italian
king a bunch of roses.
He smiled, bowed, buried his face in
the blossoms, handed the bouquet to a
lackey and the cavalcade n carriage
swept through the gate and down unter
den linden to the castle, three quarters
of a mile away. On one side of the
t~horoughfare CuirassierS, dragons and
lancers lined up two deep, forming a
glittering barrier of color, while on the
other side the piers view was unmo-
Tested except by extraordinary numbers
of police standing with their face to-
wards the spectators. The cheers nj
the people were spontaneous and really
cordial. They seemed so to Generals
Corbin and Young and their party, who
had a row of good windows. The Amer
lean officers admired the splendidly
horsed cavalry more than anything
else. The show was over in a few sec
onds. Their majesties later drove to
the Italian embassy for breakfast anC
then again to the castle in order to re-
ceive the diplomatic corps.
