Henry Bradley, the shakemaker,
bought horse some five months ago
from a person in the mountains. The
animal proved fair saddle horse, and
Bradley was congratulating himself on
his bargain, when the matter assumed
a phase that he little anticipated.
Monday he rode to lone on the horse,
and was told on the way that he was
riding stolen horse; that it belonged
to the Bonnefoys. He came on to
Jackson, and sure enough the horse
was identified as one that had been
missed from the Bonnefoy pasture sew
eral months ago. Bradley was perfect
ly innocent in the matter, and was the
victim of poor bargain. There was
nothing to do but to surrender the
animal to its owner, and seek redress
from the party from whom it was pur-
chased. He turned over the horse
Tuesday morning. He had made ar
rangements to go to his mountain place
that day, but this turn of affairs left
him without any way of traversing the
thirty miles except on foot. Bradley
says this is just about the sort of luck
that has attended him in his trading
enterprises.

them.

at the moment, was the only person
near the child caught like a fox in a

ME rushed to NelIie's aid. sized her i'm
prisoned leg. and tried with all her
slight strength to set her free. The
engineer Of the train must have seen the
two girls. for his whistle sounded and
sounded again, almost fmpIoringly, Get

The train. which it was impossible to
halt was almost upon the children when
Annie dragged Nellie from between the
planks and with her fell by the side OF
the track. The ourushfng train swept
their bodies along in cloud OF dust
and leaves. Alarmed by the warning
whistles. men ran TO the girls and found
them unframed. Annie had not lost
her brave compOsure When she got
on her feet she patted Nellie's head and
said:
Don't cry, little girl You're al right
