strange apparition Of the herd, which
1t seemed had risen out Of the sod
The ranchman saw something else
that the girl did not-a cluster of
earth mounds thrown up in the level
OF the plain, the work Of prairie dogs
or some other burrowers of the plains
Before he could caution the girl. her
horse stumbled, fell, staggered, went
tumbling in a heap with broken leg
Now it was serious. The cattle,
more curious than ever. scampered
faster toward the object of their in
terest: the fallen horse plunged and
snorted; the skirts of its rider held
her prisoner.
In an instant Mason was by her side,
Juggling at the fair burden. When she
was free he found her helpless from
strained ankle, and with tenderness
he lifted her in his arms and to his
own saddle. Then jumping beside her
he turned the nervous animal, drew
his revolver and shot uherringly the
struggling beast on the ground then
away toward the station resting on
the broad and dusty plain
Arrived there, he lifted her gently to
one of the benches which stood in the
tiny waiting-room; he transformed it
into a settee with blankets from the
livery stable: he heard with pleasure
her words of satisfaction.

REAT clouds of yellow dust, a
Ne dazzling blue sky. sweeping
winds. long reaches of level
landslide midwinter southwest, and
on the siding the palatial train Of the
cattle king who was now of among
the ranches looking after sleek and
weli-bred herds.
The cattle kings daughter, whose
prospective wealth entitled her to the
rank of princess, sat under the striped
awning ON the rear platform of the
train, gazing YEARLY at the monot-
onOus landscape.
How long are we to stay here?"
she demanded of the porter who was
indSstriously trying to keep the leath-
er-lovered chairs clean. He did not
answer-he did not know. She went
back to the parlor Of the other private
car and accosted the quiet woman who
sat by the window sewing. "Auntie,
how long is this to last?p
Until your father gets back or
there are orders. =
Pm tired of tim going out of

She seized jacket and cap, slipped
down the side steps and disappeared
behind the squalid depot. A dilapi-
dated livery stable stood in the sum
shine. Il want a riding horse quick!
The man fairly trembled in his anx-
iety to serve the city girl, and in q
moment she was cantering over the
sand and sage brush, headed straight
for the green hills in the distance.
Away and away she sped, delighting
in the free rush of the wind, the swish
of her pony's hoofs through the grass
and the exhilaration of the open lands.
The horse was willing; she was in
love with the exercise; mile after mile
they went, unconscious of the distance
At last she turned the horses head
where was the station? Nothing but
rolling plain, not shining with sun
light, but dampened by shadow With
q little cry of terror she sent her

eyes for the engine smoke on the
horizon.

The Old and New
BY PAUL r. HARRIS

He was q young man, tall and well
made; that much was noticeable to the
pedestrians who thronged the brilliant-
ly-lighted street on New Years eve.
Many smiled in cynical way as they
stepped aside to avoid his Keeling form;
others looked the disgust they felt, and
few, indeed, were they who by word or
look evidenced a spirit of charity.
The young man needed not; he could
summon to his whirling brain but one
picture. He saw the CHASTITY face Of the
corpse he had left, but few moments
before, at the morgue. The body was
that of companion In the days de-
bauch, a stranger In the city, one of the
thousands of unknown. He had lost his
life in an alteration over cards, says the
RSdford Review. -
He drove his way through the thick
est of the crowd as though the exercise
relieved him, and occasionally he
pressed his palms to his thobbing tenn
pies or brushed the damp hair from his
hot forehead. He strobe on across the
bridge and far into residence portion
OF the city beyond. Twice he stumbled
and fell. but was quickly up and on again.
He turned into side street and APP
preached well-lighted church The
services were about to begin and the
young man concealed himself in an OBJ
scure niche and waited. He was breath
ing heavily. The organ prelude came
tremblingly to his ear. He knew whose
fingers touched the responsive keys and
he groaned aloud: THE barriers! Oh,
were it not for the barriers!'' The music
rose to ecstatic bursts. then softened
again in plaintive diminuendo. 1t
reached his heart and flood of tears
at last moistened his fevered cheeks and
assuaged his agony. His head was bowed
as he listened to that prayer in song.
Later, he staggered on to a business
thoroughfare and into private room at
favorite haunt. There, throwing him.
self into chair, he buried his face in his
hands. His thoughts reverted to the
CLASSY eyes, and wishing to dispel the
image, he ordered a whisky straight, and
filling the glass to the brim, was about
to turn the contents down his parched
throat when the spirit of the song prayer.
came back to him. He placed the whisky
glass upon the table and drained the
seltzer glass instead. He heard num-
