Before he could caution the girl, her
horse stumbled. fell, staggered, went
tumbling in 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 it's 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 unerringly the
struggling beast on the ground-then
away toward the station resting on
the broad and dusty plain.
Arrived there, he liz ed her gently to
one of the benches which stood in The
tiny waiting-room; he transformed it
into settee with blankets from the
livery stable; he heard with pleasure
her words of satisfaction.

Poisonous Plants.

Much to be desired is a method OF
recognizing poisonous plants at sight.
While no general rule can be given, DR..
H. H. Rusby finds that there are evident
indications, and that certain character
istics often go with poisonous proper
ties. One Of these is the lurid purple
color Of stems of castor oil, cicuta.
conium, pokeberry and dogbane A mar
cotic odor is common in many of the
most poisonous plants, though lacking
IL others. and milky juice is cause for
suspicion. The most general character.
istic, however, is an acrid taste. This
is our best safeguard, and it can usually
be relied upon to give warning before
a dangerous quantity has been eaten.

by local officials of the company to the
effect that all tools belonging to the min
ers must be out of the mines by noon or
be locked in indefinitely.
The mines at Rockvale. Brookside, Free

Morgan Williams, manager of the Viii
liams mines, has announced that he will
sign the scale demanded by the miners
Monday morning.
These mines, so far as known, will be

that the closing of the Colorado Fuel and

throughout the entire district Monday,
which now appears inevitable. Notices
signed by President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America, have been
posted at all of the mines calling upon
the men to cease work Monday.
