DRAGGED BY HER HAIR.
Woman Severely Injured in Runaway
Accident.

Miss Eta Smith, daughter of Mrs.
Lew Merriman, who lives nine miles
north of Mitchell, has lost her leg in a
NOSE distressing accident. Miss Smith
had been to Loomis and had started
home in a buggy.
When crossing the railroad track
she got out to fasten a tug which had
become loosened. The horse started
and she endeavored to get into the
buggy, but her foot caught between
the spokes of the front wheel. Her
leg was twisted and the bone broken
squarely off. and the leg hung by a
shred of flesh. Her hair became
twined around the axle of the rear
wheel, and in this position she was
dragged for over mile when the
horse was stopped.
In order to release the young
woman her hair had to be cut. SO
tightly was it wound about the wheel.
She was bruised and cut, and was only
partially conscious when released. It
was necessary to amputate her leg at
the knee.

It is now more than a month since
the disappearance Of Grant Docksta-
der, a well-known resident of the
northern part Of Minnehaha county,
and not the slightest trace of the MISS
Ing man can be found. His father, w.
Fl. Dockstader, is one of the richest
men In the county, and has made per-
sistent efforts to ascertain the where

The old man has now completed the
work of paying claims against his son
to the amount of about $4,000. and
expresses himself as willing to let by
cones be bygones if his son will return
and resume his place in the family
circle. He bears his financial loss
philosophically and states that he
would not mind that part of the affair
If he could have his son back and set
tied down to business as formerly. He
expresses himself as being quite hope
full that his boy will eventually come
back.

stricken with palsy; and bis voice,

About bowed his head, and answered
that he was content.
Omar could not help noticing that
his friend was in trouble and he took
the liberty to ask what had gone
wrong.
"Alas!" cried Horam. "everything
goes wrong" And he told how he had
put away all his wives for the daugh .
ter of About Cassem, and how she bad
betrayed him and fed from him. And
then he told how he had once captur-
ed his dreaded enemy, the Scourge Of
Damascus, and how the prize had
slipped through his fingers by means
of the treachery OF his slaves.
"By my life," exclaimed Omar, "you
have been most sorely afflicted
But the worst is yet to be told"
pursued Horam, clenching his hands,
and gnashing his teeth. "The robber
and the lady Ulin went of on the
same night. and have every reason
to believe that she corrupted my
slaves to set him free. In fact, am
sure she did. think they will be all

Omar, you have known much Of my

Pardon, lady l meant no offense."
The tone was one of grief.
"Oh-Julian! Julian Leave me not

She rested her freed hand upon his
arm and gazed up into his face. Her
eyes were streaming with tears and
her bosom heaved convulsively.

Osmir come to interrupt them.

up, all out of breath; but before he
could speak his master stopped him..

A klng'S Story.

The first person whom Ulin met
after entering the cave was Ezabel,
who stood by a table upon which
lamp was burning.
"My dear child, | was just coming
in search of you. We were anxious
What-have you been in tears? Ulin,
what is it? What has happened?
The maiden, in memory of the great
event of the evening, forgot the cause
OF fear that had been with her. 1t
was a secret she could not keep-a Sc
cret she had no wish to keep; and
resting her head upon Ezabel's shoul-

brow, ''he is worthy of the trust you

At that moment Abba come in from
the grove wnere she had been in
search of her mistress; and very soon
see, too, had heard the story. She
gazed into Ulin's face a moment, and
then, with a tear glstening n her eye,
she murmured:
Il shall be very happy now, for
henceforth l can serve and love you
both,'
As Abba spoke, and before any reply
could be made, Julian came hurrying
into the cave. He was much excited
and Ben Hadad saw a fear upon his
face such as had never been seen there
before.

speak apart with Ben Hadad, when
Osmir came rushing into the cave,
with terror depicted most painfully
upon his ebon features.
They are coming." he cried. "They

Who are coming?"

He grasped a sword as he spoke, and
leaped toward the entrance: but he

them bearing flaming torches in their
hands.
Come, good Osmir," the chieftain
cried, bracing himself for the work.
Capture for us is certain death. We
can do no better than to sell our lives

One-two- three-four Of the royal
soldiers fell beneath the lightning-l like
strokes of Julian's trenchant blade;
and in the same time Osmir had slain
two; but it was not in the roll Of fate
that two were to overcome the force
that came pouring into the cave. A
flaming torch was hurled upon the
chieftain, and while he staggered be-
meath the binding stroke he was
drawn over backwards and his arms
quickly pinioned. The next move
ment was to secure Ulin and Abba,
after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel
were taken.
