There was clatter of feet down the
iron stairs. The men of the watch
were hustltag to unbar the iron door
A solidly l'uilt, circular raft had been
lowered from the Trinity tender.
An assistant keeper, wearing cork
| jacket, with rope about his waist
was clinging to u stumpy mast in the
center. Two stout guide ropes were
MANIPULATED, from the deck of the vas-
sci, and the fiat, unwieldy muss of
timber WA slowly drifting nearer to
the lighthouse with the tide.
The door of the column opened to-
ward the EAST. SO the wind, with its
pelting shc.ts Of spray, was almost in
the opposite quarter, and the stout
granite SHIFT itself afforded some de-
gree of pre- lection for the entrance.
The scheme signaled from the steamer
was gool one. None but u lunatic
would endeavor to approach the rock
itself. but there was chance that the
raft might be made to drift near
enough to the door to permit grapnel
to be thrown across the rope held by
the gallan: volunteer on the raft.
1t was his duty to attach the two
ropes and thus render 1t possible for
stronger line to be drawn from the
vessel to die pillar. There was no 9TH
or way. The lighthouse did not possess
rope Of sufficient length to be drawn
back by tie raft without the interyen-
ton Of some human agency.
| This wps precisely the puny, half de-
spairing lodge that the reef loved to
play wilt Catlike. 1t permitted the
queer, fat bottomed craft to approach
almost within hail. Then 1t shot forth
4 claw Of furious surf. the heavy raft
was picked up as II 1t We're II floating
feather, turned clean over and flung
many fathoms out to sea. while both
of its guiding cables were snapped
with contemptuous ease.
The assistant keeper, kept afioat by
his jacket, was hauled, half drowned,
back through the choking froth, while
the wave which overwhelmed the raft
curled up spiteful tongue and almost
succeeded in dragging out several Of
the men stationed in the doorway.
With clang the iron shutter was
rushed into its place, and when the
sailor was rescued the Trinity boat
steamed away to try to secure the
raft.
So joyous hope gave way once more
to dark forcboding, and the only COM
fort was the faint one to be extracted
from the parting signal:
"Will try again next tide"

Sketch of Axtell's Career.

Axtell was horse of sensation,
and romance If ever there was one
Bred by @. W. Williams, counlr,
telegraph operator, in the little town
of Independence, Iowa, the purchas.
of the colts dam, her shipping ex
pense to Kentucky, and the fee OF
stallion to which she was bred took
good slice of the young mans
available capital.
Nor was the result of the venture
At all promising. When the colt by
William L., and out of the Nam
brine Boy mare, was old enough to
be harness wise it was found that il
either could not or would not tro,
fast enough to keep warm. Young
Williams. all IMMERSED in the arts Of
training colts, resorted in desperation
to the heroic remedy of giving the
colt one awful fogging witt, bugg,
whip. 1t happened this was exacll,
what the youngster wanted, ana
from that day Axtell was trotter of
merit.
Indeed, SO rapid was his improve
ment that as a two year-old he soon
showed himself to be above the com
mon for that age, and Williams
started out on campaign in some
races for baby trotters. 1t was seen
right away Axtell could lose all the
other 2-year- old trotters, and before
fall the record for stations of that
that age was his with mile in 2:23
Just the figure at which the year
ling trotting record now stands. This
brought Axtell into the limelight,
and people with money began look
ing him over with a view of pur-
chasing, but for one reason or an
other no trade was made, and he
went into winter quarters at indie
pendence still owned by Williams.
AS a three-year-old Axtell lost no
time in making himself known as n
truly great trotter. Those were the
days of high wheel sulkies, and the
fastest mile by an aged trolting
stallion was the 2:l3i of Make Cobb,
while the record fora 3-ycar-old was
considerably slower. Axtell began
at ZONE meeting near home, and
soon had record better than 2:2O.
Then he came to Chicago and at
Washington park track trotted
around PA. From here he went
10 Terre Haute, and over the -four
track" at that town set the
seal on his greatness by stepping a
mile in 2:l2.
This not only made him champion
of the three-year-old trotters OF both
sexes, but also placed to his credit
the stallion championship of the !

world so far as trotters were con-
cerned. He was the sensation of the
year in turf circles, and once more
prospective buyers Tucked around
him. But it remained for Chica-
goan, John ". Conley, to make the
purchase, and he added to the colts
fame by paying for him the highest
price ever given for harness horse
up to that time 100000. 1t was
really syndicate of which Col. Con
ley was the head that bought the
head that bought the horse. the 9th
er members being W. p. ljams M
Terre Haute, F. Il. Moran of Detroit,
and gentleman named Bush from
the same city.
IL was announced that Budd Doble
would train Axtell the following
season, and reduction of his re-
cord was looked for, but the stallion
went lame and his training was dis
continued. Then he entered the
stud at a fee of $1,000, the highest
charged up to that time for har-
ness horse, and in few seasons his
sons and daughters began to win
races. OF course the $1,000 fee did
not last, the boom in trotters soon
collapsing, and it gradually was re-
duced until it reached 500. Col.
Conley's interest in the horse was
purchased by Mcssrs. 1jams and
Moran, and later they bought out
Mr.. Bush.
Unlike many famous turf perform
ers Axtell was distinct success in
the stud. Up to the close of 1905
he had sired ninety-one trotlers and
twelve PAGERS that took standard re
cords. Sixteen of his sons have sired
slxty-nine trotters ana eleven PAGERS,
and sixteen of his daughters have
produced twenty-one trotters and
'hree PAGERS. The fastest trotter b,
Axtell is the black mare, Ozanam,
2:o7, and curiously enough, his fast
est PAGER, Home Circle, has the same
mark. Ozanam is big sixteen
hand mare, while Home Circle is
nothing but pony. The best son

concerned, is Axworthy, 2:l5,, that
