mad red horse plunged over the plains
with Madeline's faithful lover dashed
to his back. Poor girl! She closed her
eyes, and her cries of terror were
drowned by the yells of her cruel tor
mentors.
On sped the wild red horse over
hill and dale. Impolled by fright and
terrorized by the struggling burden on
his back, the foaming animal soon
passed beyond the reach of his pur-
suers. He had been stolen from the
Quaymal Indians by Don Rivera's
poems, and when he found himself free
he at once set out to rejoin his old
herd. The bold lover declares that he
was never surer OF winning his bride
than when the foam from the red
chops of the wolves were hurled into
his face. 1t was at that moment that
he registered an oath to possess Made
line in spite of Don Rivera and his
army Of poems.
Don Rivera had made bitter enemies
of the Quaymals. fIe had taken their
fields away from them and forced the
poor Indians to move their village to a
mountain valley.
They gave the wounded man shelter,
aid and comfort, and when they heard
his story they believed him Soon they
all loved the handsome young Texan.

Feared Fathers Anger.

God knows l love you, and l am ready
at any moment TO go with you to the
end OF the world" said the warm
hearted girl; but, oh, my love, papa
Is terrible. Why, Jack, he would kill
you If he knew you even dared to
speak to me-"
Never fear, little sweetheart" Jack
would say. "one of these fine nights
we will gallop away from the Rancho
Grande, and beyond the Rio Grande
We will be beyond the reach of the
old don's anger and his bullets"
Il am ready, Jack. But think-it is
only poor little me you are getting
not an extra ribbon, doubloon or a
centavo. And the danger, Jack-for I
warn you papa Is a man of blood-he
has fought duels. He would set the
poems to tearing you to pieces"
With your pretty cheek against
mine, sweetheart, dangers are not to
be counted" said Jack. Tomorrow
night we will ride"
The lovers planned we'll, but an In
dian woman betrayed them. 1t was a
fine night for an affair where hearts
play an important part A glorious
| full moon was rising above the sum-
NIT OF an eastern range OF mountains
The warm sea breeze was laden with
the perfume of the flowers of the
plain, and the silence was only broken
by the songs OF the nightingale and
the barely perceptible swish of tn,
swaying strands or moss.

Back to the Ranch.

bdCh 10 lie AuHCli.
One would imagine that this narrow
escape would have cooled the passion
of the most ardent lover. Not so with
the incorrigiDie Texan. Ten days had
hardly elapsed before he appeared at
the Rancho Rivera disguised as an In
! dian, seeking employment. He was
, given a job herding sheep.
When the indomitable Texan found
an opportunity to shed his disguise and
open his arms, Madeline ran and
threw herself upon his bosom with
Joy and confidence.
This time fortune again played the
lovers false. They encountered a
locked and barred pasture gate, with a
fence of nine barbed wires on either
side. Madeline had been so closely
watched that her absence had been
noted almost instantly. The alarm was
no sooner raised than the whole force
OF the Rancho Grande was set to scour-
ing the country in every direction. The
unfortunate lovers were encountered
while riding hard to reach a distant
gate. A desperate battle ensued, and
Jack caught couple of hot balls that
stunned him for the moment, though
neither made more than slight wounds.
Again numbers trlumphed, and the
lovers were torn apart for the second
time.
Never fear, sweetheart! Better luck
next time!" shouted Jack.
There will be no next time," roared
one OF the poems Bring the Colorado
} diablo caballo."

a magnificent Comanche racer, and by
his side walked another horse of fine
form and great fame for speed and en-
durance. AS the Texan slid from his
saddle, caressing his pony, he whis-
pered: Give us little start and there
is not a horse in all Mexico able to
catch u.s."
sweetheart mine, not all the treas
ures OF the world, steel, or any power
less than God shall ever separate us"
Soft, milo caballaro. Dios milo! que
contento estoy."
And the joy of all the world is
crowded into my BOSOM" whispered
Jack. He was just in the act of lift
ing her into the saddle, when 1t looked
as II dozen big hands rose from the
earth and his arms were seized.

Lovers Finally United.

They said: I'VE nate old Don RI
vera. He has stolen our lands, our
horses and cattle. He has coined the
tears of our women and children. We
will help you to drive pain into his
heart. Only tell us how"
Jack told them how, and they did
help him. He had hardly recovered
from his wounds when an Indian
maiden bounded into his apartment
one evening with streams of words OF
joy flowing from her red lips.
She is here-we have brought her
to you," she exclaimed, clapping her
hands.
who? What do you mean?" said
Jack.
Madeline, of course"
1t was true. In few moments the
astounded lover was rejoiced to find
that his devoted friends had succeeded
in stealing his sweetheart and bringing
her to their village.
Joyous to the verge of insanity over
being united, and fearing capture, the
lovers were eager to fly towards Texas
but the Quayamai chief protested. He
wanted to drive many pains home to
the old don's hard heart" he said. He
insisted that the lovers should be mar
ried by the padre in the Quaymal
temple, and that the affair should be
celebrated by great feast THE SUI
perstitious old don will not dare to
come here" he said.

Marvellous Escape from Death.

Marvellous Escape from Death.
Don st. Louis appeared, foaming
with rage. Tearing his daughter from
the side of the struggling youth, he
passed her to an attendant, Saying;
Lock her up" Then turning to one
who appeared to be in command, he
said: 1T is the Americana migrate,
cursed gringo. l do not care to soil
my hands. Juan, tie rock to his neck
and throw him into the river"
Jack knew that the poems were only
too glad to obey orders, and strongly
suspecting that he mad rival in the
bunch, he realized that all hope for
mercy was lost. They dragged him
to the bank of stream not far away,
and while some were busy hunting a
big rock others were preparing strings.
1t required the united strength of the
bunch to overpower the fighting Texan,
and when they were ready to push
him over the bank Jack dexterously
threw out one hand and dragged the
leader of the gang into the water
with him. The peon had a knife, and
missed his aim and severed the cord
that held the big rock.
The athletic Texan was now master
of the situation. He wrenched the
knife from the hand of his enemy,
and the next moment the water was
red with the blood about a floundering
peon, and Jack Hondorn was swim
ming toward the opposite shore.

Love at First Sight.

More than 100 people were employed
on this one ranch. There was a pala-
tial residence on a picturesque summit
overlooking hundreds of acres of the
old don's vast possessions. Here the
great rancher's family invariably spent
the summer months of the year.
Cupid must have taken a hand in
Jacks affairs from the moment he set
his feet inside Of the gates of the
Rancho Grande de Rivera. On that
same day arrived the sonora and her
daughter Madeline, IRON the City OF
Mexico. They had only recently re-
turned from Spain, and they were glad
to reach their old home, where they
we'll knew that comfort and luxurious
repose awaited them. The smiling blue
eyes of the young adventurer of the
land of the Lone Star and the dark
eyes Of the daughter of the south
looked into each others depths at the
gate OF the hacienda. and the fate Of
these two was forever sealed.

II anything were lacking to prove
that love is the strongest passion in
the human breast, and that under its
influence men and women will do and
venture where no other power or mo-
tive could move them, the thrilling
story that valiant young Texan has
to tell would relieve ordinary mortals
OF further doubt.
Jack Hondorn recently returned to
his old home on the Colorado, in west
ern Texas, accompanied by pretty
Spanish bride, whose heart he gained
and whose hand he possessed down in
old Mexico after a series of adventures
and narrow escapes that would make
the fortune of skilled writer Of TO
nance. Old neighbors extended a warm
welcome to Mr.. Hon1orn and his hand
some young wife.
About two years ago young Hon
dorm left his old home in Texas to seek
his fortune in Mexico. After knocking
about over the sister republic for some
time, learning little Spanish, admir-
Ing new scenes, and occasionally fall
ing in love with dark-eyed beauty of
the sunlands, he finally found employ
ment on a big cattle ranch belonging
to old Don st. Louis Rivera, one of the
richest men in all Mexico.

of the West and the leather manufac-
turers of the East, there will be no
step taken towards tariff revision du-
ing the life of the present or the

it wise to refer to the tariff revision
sentiment, but there is not the slight
