the mountain by the canyon and he
gets me and Bill Peters to go along
with him to hunt for her. We all
gets to the place where Jennie tum-

gone over the cliff on the lariat.
We see the lariat tied to the stump
and pokes our heads over and looks
down and then we knows what's do
in. Buck Bradley goes pale even to
his nose, which is saying much. We
amt got no ropes nor nothin' with
us and we howlS down to the ten
derfoot to wait till one of us poes
back to camp and brings up some
stuff, for the lariat he has over the
cliff we see won't stand much strain.
"'We can't wait yells up the ten
derfoot, 'the ledge is a-shakin' and
it may go any mint. I'll bring her
up safe he says, don't you fear
Then he takes Jennie on his back
and she's good stuff and clings fast
about his neck and says: 4 amt
scared Then that fellow comes up
the lariat hand over hand with the

no one else do such a thing. We
knows now why it was he could lick
Buck, he's that strong. He gets ND
to the edge foot by foot. Buck leans
over and grabs the girl and swings
! her clear up to the rock by his
side. Jest as he grabbed her the
lariat broke where it had scraped
the sharp edge of the rock and the
tenderfoot went down to death 800

gotten to tell you why this gulch is
called Tenderfoot Canyon. I'm jest
comm to it.
You see, Buck Bradley had lit
tie girl jest eight years old and
named Jennie. Buck was spliced
when he was only 10, and his wife
cashed IN when Jennie was born.
Buck thought more of Jennie a heap
than he did of himself, and all the
gold in the Rockies. Jennie run kind
wild like. She was always goin'
into queer places after flowers and
the like. The day after Bucks fight
with the tenderfoot Jennie started
out to get some mountain sandwort
for the school-teacher that VEAL
had just imported. It's pretty
Hover, the sandwort, and it snuggles
close to the rocks, and it don't mind
the snow and the ice little bit.
Jennie went up the mountain
along the edge of the canyon. She
got up 300 feet, and 1 tell you-an
that 1T was sheer straight down,
with hardly a break to the bottom.
The little one seen some sandwort
CROWN in a hole jest over the edge.
and she leaned over to pick some,
an she leaned too far an fell. There
was three-foot ledge with some
bushes on it 40 feet below. Jennie
landed in the bushes and she wasn't
hurt. There was more than $50 feet
below her and nary break, and the
face of the cliff above was smoother
than Nosey Ike'S pool table. Jennie
had good nerve. She wasn't hurt
a little bit. She jest lay there for a
few minits and kept on thinking.
She knowed she mustn't move OF
shed tumble. Then she let's out
little yell, and then another, and an
other, louder and louder. Then she
looks straight up and she sees
face peerin' over the cliff and the
eyes lookin' down on her. It's the
tenderfoot. He was out prospectin'
and he heard Jennie zip.
Keep still, little un,' he says, AN
I'll save you.' And so he takes his
lar1at and ties one end around

C.,R.t &P. Involved
Stands Out Alone at Meeting of
Western Mileage Bureau
Yesterday.
ADDS TO PRESENT COMPLICATIONS
Question was Upon Disseminating
Use of interchangeable Gre
dentials Ticket.

Discussions among the general pas
senger agents of the western roads
have reached "A critical point, and
nothing but the interference of the
executive officers can prevent dis
astrous passenger rate war. At the
meeting of the western mileage bu-
reau in Chicago yesterday the Rock
Island threw down the gauntlet to
its competitors.
The meeting was called to act ON
the recommendation of the executive
committee of the Western Passenger
association to discontinue the use of
the present interchangeable 1000
mile credentiaI ticket and to issue a
1000 mile coupon book good on
trains. The proposition received the
affirmative vote of all the roads eN-
cept the Rock Island and the Chica-
go. Peoria q St. Louis. but the repre-
sentatives of the Missouri Pacific and
Wabash explained that their vote was
conditional on the approval of their
superior officers.
Questioned the Motive.
John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager of the Rock Island. then de
clared that this action was the result
of animosity towards his company,
which was known to be unalterably
opposed to any ticket that can be
hOnored by conductors on trains.
The Southwestern Passenger associa-
tion, which is using the mileage Gre
Dental ticket, he said, was satisfied
with it.
Then Mr.. Sebastian declared that if
this fight is continued the Rock ISL
and would keep the IS rate between
Chicago and st. Paul in effect until
the other roads saw fit to change
their position regarding the sale of
interchangeable mileage tickets.
He stated, too, that while the Rock
Island was not a member of the i'm
migrant bureau it had been coopera-
ting with it, except in certain disput-
ed territory, and i'm the event of a
split in the mileage bureau his road
would act independently as regards
immigrant business and would also
withdraw from present arrangements
cashing rebates through the Western
Passenger association on 1000 mile
tickets.
Proposition Declared Lost.
The chairman declared the propo-
sition To substitute an .intcrchangea-
bic 1000 mile ticket good on trains for
the mileage credential ticket lost. as
it required unanimous vote to car
ry a proposition of this kind.
Several of the roads stated that il
was their intention to give individual
notice that they would adopt the new
ticket Notwithstanding the adverse
vote of the Rock Island. They claim
ed they found the mileage credential
ticket was not satisfactory to the
commercial travellers, who demand a
ticket good on trains, and they pro-
posed to adopt such ticket regard
less of what the Rock Island might
do.
