where safety lay. He turned weakly
on his elbow, but stopped half way,
rs I sharp. ominous sound pierced the
heat-a sound that somehow seemed
the irtenSifc:tion Of cold-a cold that
flashed through his fevcred brow and
froZe him into statue as he lay.
1t was tie warning of rattler. Be-
side LiE coiled, ready to strike, with
its head on level with his eyes, lay
a snake as thick rs his wrist.
His brain whirled for moment. and
then suddenly grew strangely clear.
Was there nothing which could face
this heat? Here was one thing no
Arizona sun could shrivel-one thing
the f"es OF the hereafter could not
warm.
Its head was proudly erect, as the
rattler and his human prototype looked
into each others eyes. The eyes Of
the snake were cold and still, and in
a moment the eyes Of the man grew
dreamy, and then-then the eyes of the
snake began to glow with fire which
crept through the mans veins like
wine.
Was he exhausted? No. that was his
body. Now, he had no body-he was
soul-the preachers said he had a
soul-this must be it, before him on
the sand. A soul from out whose eyes
looked a knowledge Of sin Of which
even be had never dreamed! He
whose name was a terror for miles
about! What did they know OF sin
back there in the town? Here was the
fountain-head Of all evil, at which he
could drink forever and never be filled!
OF sin-of sin
The head of the snake began to
sway slowly back and forward, and
to thrust itself out toward him. The
head of the man followed its move
ments as though drawn by magnet.
The two heads had each the same
narrow temples, the same sinister jaw,
the same cruel mouth, but the eyes
the eyes Of the man had much to
learn.
A shout came over the desert-came
slowly-for even sound shrank back
from the heat-and pierced its way
into his brain. They had found the
horse.
But they did not know Of the empty
revolver. They would think twice
before they ventured into those rocks
in the dark. They would wait-would
wait until the light came. He must
go higher up-he started slightly, but
froze again before the warning whirr.
When the light came they would
come, and he would die like rat in
trap. There was no escape. Yes,
here was one way-just one. With
sigh Of despair he stretched out his
arms to the snake as q lover to his
sweetheart!
Again the warning. For one instant
he looked into those marvellous eyes.
Then he deliberately cuffed the evil
head lightly with one hand. Swift as
lightning the snake struck!
When the light came, the pursuing
men moved cautiously forward, hoping
to reach sheltering rock before his
bullets found them, but their leader
started back from a motionless figure
lying in the shadow.
AS they stared, the mans shirt
heaved slowly, as though he had
breathed, and from out its folds head
with narrow temples and sinister
mouth lifted itself, and with languid
insolence. the huge rattler passed like
a glimpse of hell. down the mans side,
and vanished into cleft In the rock.
The men stood rooted to the spot.
AS the crawling horror disappeared,
their leader wrenchcd himself free.
"Merciful powers, I believe it was
his soul," he said.-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

was attempted, but abandoned.

DEMPSEY REFORM.

Last fall and since then the peo-
pie have heard something about re-
form in Cincinnati and how the re-
form mayor would clean up the city,
even to closing the saloons on Sum
day, but recent developments stamp
that sort OF talk as mere bosh.
Saturday last Mayor Dempsey, of
Cincinnati, was called on by a COM
mittee from the German Day Asso-
citation representing eighty-two So
cieties and formally congratulated
on his stand in regard to the Sum
day. closing which has been to let
saloons remain open so long as their
business was conducted quietly and
decorously. Petitions bearing over
$4,000 names were presented with
this resolution:
Eve the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers, urge the honorable mayor
to continue in his present course
and assure him of our hearty sup
port in following the policy of Civ
ing the people of Cincinnati the
greatest possible liberty consistent
with good government"
In responding Mayor Dempsey
among other things said:
s1-want to say that I am a beliey-
er in personal liberty and that l
don't believe in compelling one set
of people to dance to the music of
another"
Democrats were beside themselves
everywhere, when they heard the
news from the Cincinnati election
and there we're loud shouts over the
alleged wave of reform going over
the country. 1t was to be the pure
Simon, and the Queen City was to
bel as dry as tanbark on the Sabbath
Day. The pulpit took occasion in
some instances to point out what a
reform was to be accomplished in
Ohio, and dwelt particularly on the
declaration that there was to be no
Sunday selling in Cincinnati. They
did not think for moment that
there was to be not only selling but
also open saloons on the Sabbath,
and the action of the mayor may
come to them as painful surprise,
and yet there are thousands upon
thousands Of men who think Just
like Mayor Dempsey docs about it,
and that it is reform of the true
American sort. Mayor Dempsey
does not mince his words and all
can plainly understand. them, but
for making the declaration he will
doubtless now be denounced as
traitor-not by the Democratic
party for that is the great whiskey
party Of the country, but by church,
men, who in this modern day have
thrown off the great American prin-
ciple of our forefathers that church
and state should forever be kept
separate and apart.

The Imagination Of some plays
wonderfully at times and they do
conceive some of the most ridicu-
lous things. For instance only a
short time ago they had it going that
certain officials were about to resign.
The story soon got started and every
one was asking every one else. if it
were So. It was not so. but it gave
the gossips a chance. Along this
line some one col. it into his head
there was to be no parade circus day
and that went like wildfire. There
was no basis for any such report as
later developments showed, but IT
gave lot chance to talk and COM
plain. The next one viii probably.
be that Traders alley is going to be
cleaned up, which from present out
look will probably prove itself as
false as the others.

would make good, but they say their
lease is such as not to warrant or
justify the risk and expense OF erect
ing one. They also complain that
they are being knocked on all sides
and that no one seems to give them
the slightest encouragement. They
can not have ball games without
support and it is now up to the peo-
Pile to decide whether they want any
more bah this summer, and the only
way to decide it is by the amount of
support given.
