the ranch of Jerry Gardner, about 30
miles southeast of Carlsbad, N. M. |
had driven across country and now
Carlsbad was my nearest railroad
point and, having a good horse and
being told that the road was plain
and practically straight, l had no
hesitancy in starting out.
"Well, the day was fine and during
the forenoon the sun shone actually
hot upon me and logged along con-
tentedly enough. About one o'clock
l struck the sand hills that stretch
clear on from that point to the brakes
of the Pecos river. L knew that my
journey led across the famous staked
plains.
well, sir, if you've new run
against a sandstone you can't pos
sibly get an idea of what | was up
against. Though it was early in the
afternoon, things began to get dark
err and darker and when the sand be-
gan to move, coming in great cutting
gusts against my face, l couldn't see
a thing but my finish and the. poor
horse tucked his head and gsnorted.

could. N3E13F ~
after a little | found that I'VE were
not in any road at all. The sand had
blown over it, like snow, ndzzRpboAy;
could have found it with asteiescope.
l learned afterward that d new trail
has to be made after eaeh stpfn. We
went on and on, however, butHoHr gait
was slow now. The buggy wheels
dragged fully a foot deep In ,the sand
and the cold wind was dead against
my good old horse. N
However, we managed to keep our
course in between the high sand

dunes and plowed on. l was SO wor-
ried that l forgot to eat until early
night overlook us.
~"Shivering, wearied and badly rat
tied l finally put up the buggy cover,
turned square around with the buggy
backed against the wind and sand for
shelter, got out and fed the horse and
then back into the vehicle to eat my
lunch and drink my beer. / had a lap
robe with me and l snuggled down
under it and, though chilled through,
dozed of awhile. But l couldn't sleep
much and after perhaps three hours
of this Z determined to push on.
Il will never forget the experience
l got after that. The horse at first
refused to turn round and face the
storm, but l kicked and cuffed and
pulled the poor devil the way | want
ed him to go and we started. On and
on we plowed and now we couldn't
see. l could only steer straight into
the wind and the horse fioundered on,
sometimes taking me straight up the
long slope of a sand dune and then
the buggy would go owe the top like
a boat over the crest or a wave
ITO shorten the story, though, we
suffered thus all through the night
and morning found us still facing
that awful sand blizzard. l was shiv-
ering all over and my teeth ratified
against each other. The horse was
half dead with fatigue, but he was
game. At nine O'Clock Sunday a glad
sight greeted me. We struck a
break and looked down upon the Pc
cos valley. 1t was easy enough to
find a draw by which to descend and
at last W. struck hard earth and a
real road.
"At a ranch near where we struck
the Pecos we stopped and had break
fast and got warmed up again. We
found we were eleven miles north of
Carlsbad. The wind had shifted evi.

gone that far out of our course"

Spring Song.

Spring came dancing down the glades,
Her arms with violets laden;
And Spring met Love, and Love was sad,
Love vowed he'd never more be glad.
Spring sighed-the tender maiden!
Spring scattered violets through the
glades
And hid them in the blowing grass;
And love bent down and plucked a flower
And hasted to his Lady's bower.
Spring ~sang-the happy maiden!
Spring whispered to the waiting birds
To trill a ~roundelay;
Along came Love, and Love was glad,
He vowed he never could be sad.
Spring laughed-the witching maiden!

FROM THE WIDE WORLD.

In the Russian elections, the Con
stitutional Democrats have succeeded
in securing the control OF the Douma.
Petrunkevich, the man who for a
score OF years has stood for Russian
constitution, is the accepted candi
date for President OF the Douma, and
il il said that the Emperor approves
OF both the majority and the propos-
ed President. IL is also said that,
even II the resignation Of White has
been offered, it will not now be &C
cepted.
The Triple Alliance OF Germany,
Italy, and Austria seems 10 have
broken down at the Algeciras Con
ference. IL has long been in a shaky
condition, but the fact Of the practical
withdrawal Of the Hungarian ele.
ment in Austro- Hungary from any
interest in the Alliance and the de
sertion of Germany by Italy in the
Conference have worked together to
show that the famous Dreibund can
not be- counted ON as an element in
European politics any longer. BY the
failure of the Alliance Germany APP
pears very much alone.
The British Government has been

port is that the Empire has more

Africa, over 100000 in Australia,
and over 42,000,000 in Europe.
Classifying these broadly by religions
there are 20S,000,000 Hindus, o.
100000 Mohammedans, 100000
Christians, 100000 Buddhists,
and 23,0OO,000 of various pagan or
