den as If the evil one possessed the
reins. There was-there could be
no more doubt. 1t was Bolter and his
| gang!
| Ernest's first thought was for the
men scattered hopelessly over the val
ley; then of the women and children
in the stockade, defenseless and as
yet unconscious of their danger; then
of the cattle. All, the cattle! Putting
spurs to his horse, he dashed to the
corral gates, tore them wide open, and
| then flew to the rear of the inclosure,
| and, shouting like maniac, swung his
coat in the air above his head. For one
instant 5000 heads were in the air.
The next, four times as many hoofs
went laundering down the valley in
hopeless stampede. A railroad train
| would not have stopped that rush.
Nothing could withstand or check it.
The advancing horsemcn drew rein
! for a moment, astonishcd at the COM
motion. Then. MS the full sense or
| their danger burst upon them, they
turned about and fed hcltcr-skclter
for their lives. Desperate men they
were, and only desperate riding could
save them.
When the cowboys had returned the
noise and dust had died away, and the
despcradOes were disorganzcd and
scattered. Here was the ranchmen'S
chance and so we'll did they improve
it. thanks to their quick habit of think
ing and acting in an emergency, that
Boltcr left nearly half his gang pris-
oners in the hands of their intended
victims.
Cowboy skill soon rounded up the
scared and scattered cattle. The
scout? Poor fellow, he had kept his
last watch. Bolter's sharpshooters
had surprised him ut the post Of duty.
And Ernest? We'll, week later,
half dozen of the ranch owners came
up from Denver and held a meeting
in the main ranch house. As they sat
around the fire they were told the
story of ErnpSt's exploit. and immedi-
ately they dubbed together to send
him East to school. He graduated
with high honors. and not many years
later became the prosperous owner OF
the very ranch which his pluck and
cool-hcadcducsS had saved from Bolter
and his dcspcradOcs.

THE HANFoRD LECTURE
The Actor Was Greeted hy Large
Audience az the Library.

A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Chas. B. Hanford In the au-
ditorium of the Sips Library last
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Hanford
has the happy faculty of conveying
much of his matter TO his audience
through the medium of the anec-
dote. He is very pleasing speaker,
but for all that. he remains the actor
and not the lecturer.
The preliminaries of his talk over
for his was talk rather than
lecture-he paid tribute to that great
player of bygone days, Edwin Booth
The gist, however, of Mr. Hanford s
talk, from an educational point of
view and otherwise, was the import
ance of a national theater. thing
yet in embryo, for at the present 1t
is scarcely more than an agitation
and that only in the theatrical world
These things and other interest
ing tid-bits of the actor-world did
Mr. Hanford give to his impression
able audience
He is man of somewhat prepos-
sessing appearance and at first glance
reminds one of the great man, Will
liam ]. Bryan, but on a closer scrut-
my the resemblance becomes not so
much a reality. The nose of the
actor lacks the prominence, and the
character lines of his face do not
have the strength and deepness that
go to make up the statesman
Still, Mr.. Hanford is dear to all
Southern hearts. because he is a
Southerner and because the signs of
the times point 10 him as a rising
star among the best known constell-
ations of the present time in the the
atrical world
Mr.. Hanford gave a happy climax
to the close of the afternoon program
by way of some selections from JUL
