Already they are on the level; the
momentum acquired causes the car
riage to ascend the other rise thirty
yards or more, when 1t gradually

an admirable use of the iron pin,
against which the burden of the ad-
venturous carriage again rests.
Jack is pleased with the result.
They have a fighting chance, row
that the light of the fires does not
betray them.
No sooner has he made sure that
the pin will hold than he rushes
around to the other side, and reaches
the door.
"Senor it is II" he exclaims. not
wishing to be too warmly received
He is greeted with EXPLANATIONS
of joy from within, and his hearing

feminine voices from among the rest.

Very good; but we have only
made beginning, senor. Listen, and
you will hear their shouts as they
follow. See how they wave torches
snatched from the fires as they come!
We have still more hot work awaiting

Now, IL the carriage will only take
notion 10 descend the short grade!
But there is no occasion for mental
anxiety with regard to this. since the
withdrawal of the iron pin is instant

part of the railway carriage.
Jack has driven in his first stake,
and 1t remains to be seen whether be

Upon finding the car in motion
there is burst of shouts from those
underneath and others on top.
In this emergency nothing can be
found with which to block the wheels,
and already too much momentum has
been acquired to accomplish this re-
suit by mere muscular effort.
Jack, finding that it will not be nee
essary for him to stand by and pre-
vent any OBTAINING action with his re-
volver, ceases to run alongside tho
carriage, clutches hold of the side,
and swings himself on the footboard.
The heavy carriage gains mo
mentum as it proceeds. Jack only
wishes there might be a down grade

would reach the Cuban capital with
flying colors.
Alasi 1t is but baby run-perhaps
two hundred feet, then short level

again be stopped.

A Brave Laddie

Not long ago six-year-old city boy
proved himself hero. Robert and
his little brother Willie had a pet
dog which they had taught several
tricks, one of which was to jump
through their arms when they formed
them into hoop. One warm after
noon the boys were playing on the
porch when the dog dashed up. The
boys instantly made place for him in
their games and Robert held up his
arms and invited him to jump
through. Instead of joyfully accept
ing the invitation as he usually did,
he jumped upon Robert with snarl
and cruelty bit his arm and face.
Screaming with pain, Robert threw
the dog off and started for the house
But when he reached me door he
looked back and saw his little brother
lying upon the floor. Fearing the dog
would attack the wee fellow next,
Robert turned back and seized him by
the hand and dragged him into the
house. There Is little doubt that the
pet dog was suffering from rabies.
Robert was Immediately treated for
his wound, and there is little fear that
serious results will follow, but his
brave act in remembering his brother
and saving him in spite of his own
danger and sufferings place Robert in
the same class with men whose heroi,
deeds have made them world famous.

ment.
The subject under discussion was tina,
of the status of men living on land tc
which they hold no title owing to the
government ruling turning all the land
over to the forestry reserve, and tc
which they desire title through some
act OF congress to be decided upon
There were two phases of the question
broachsd by able representatives oil
EACH men from the counties in the
southern Hills. State Senator w. f
Hanley, Representative n. s. Tubbs and
e. c. Crary, mining men, all of Custer
and Joseph Hare of Pennington county
were the distinguished visitors who
were present by Invitation and present
ed to the mining men the measures they
are seeking to secure for the relief OF
the settlers who have been barred from
securing title to the land upon which
they have made their homes.
The meeting was ably presided over
by w. j. Thornby, and after unfinished
business was disposed of Senator Hanley
was introduced and took the floor to ex-
plain the desires of the Custer county
people in regard to legislation. He
maintained that the large proportion OF
Custer county residents were agricultur
lists. He also declared that all the in
terests in Custer were in harmony so
far as he knew, and that none of the
farmers wished to interfere with the
mining rights whatsoever. All Custer
county asked, he declared, was that all
those residents outside of the county
not oppose the project which means so
much to Custer county, and that county
alone. The wants of Custer county are
set forth in the following memorial,

Another Country Dance.

EDITOR CHRONICLE
MIR. and Mrs. James Kinsey gave an
invitation dance at their residence on
Friday evening Of last week. The af-
fair was intended as surprise upon the
young ladies of the household, aud
would practically have been genuine
one but for the fact that certain party,
who having access to the telephone, was
bent upon "rubberiug" and as an invite
was being sent to party along the line,
this te,l.tale party happened to be rub
quence was that the young ladies were
apprised Of the affair when seen by the
"rubbering" party. The blurting out
OF the "rubbering" news, did not from
all appearance serve to mar the occasion
in the least.
During the forepart of the evening
Jim entertained the early arrivals with
selections upon his new graphophone
and continued to so do at various times
through the evening. This instrument
was unanimously acknowledged by those
present to be the finest they have ever
heard, and for clearness and tone it is
simply unsurpassed.
AT 1890 fine lap supper was served
and Immediately following this the
graphophone was again resorted to as a
pass time while the dancers we're rest
ing. About 1880 dancing was again re-
sumed and continued until about $3.50
when the dancers began taking their
departure. Although there were but
twenty eight present including the im-
mediate family, u very enjoyable time
