1t was not long till they struck little
stream, along which they made their way till,
in due time, they found themselves in the
valley IN, IN various parts. Of which were scat
bushes. while along the margins of the creek
were low coppices of struggling willows.
The tracks are fresh," said Jules, examin-
ing them with careful scrutiny. "The wa
ter IS oozing out of the spongy soil and trick
ling into the hoof-marks which are not yet
half full"
Its hot trail, for sure" replied his COM
panlon. See! the game has gone up the
valley ! hope the, sheep haven't been fright
Come on, and we'll soon find out, answer
And then the boys rode forward again,
briskly.
| Presently the valley began to narrow rapid
y; the hills grew into great, steep bluffs, with
lateral ,chasms in their rugged sides; the
were boisterous and brawling. like those of a
mountain torrent, tumbling their way over
boulders and slabs of stone, which here and
there half choked the winding channel.
I. The soil had now become SO hard and stony
that the trail entirely disappeared; but that
the spot was through the great canyon right
! ahead, into which the young hunters rode
| at once.
Presently Jules, who was leading, drew up
WIN sndrp jerk, ana signaling his chum 10
| follow, rode under dwarfish cedar near by.
The games yonder," he said, in low tone.
Il got glimpse of splendid old fellow on
the. cliff We're in luck now, sure. Glen. It's
plain enough, though, that we'd better hitch
our horses to this dead cedar and push ahead
on foot"
1t was the work of but moment to dis
mount. unstrap their rifles and get ready 10
proceed; and then the lads crept into the
open to get better view.
Jules had not been mistaken; for on a
| narrow, shelf, halfway up the side of the
cliff which formed one side of the canyon,
there was clinging something that looked for
all the world ike huge bunch of white cot
ton. but in which the young hunters recog-
nized a large mountain sheep, its polished
borns cleaning in the sunlight.
The creature seemed to have been going
upward, and to have reached a spot where
the narrowness of the ledge forbade any fur
thers progress
"Hfst!7 cautioned Glen, squatting down be-
hind boulder. 'NThe old fellow is going to
back down, and he'll be coming nearer every
second"
From behind the huge rock the bows watch
ed the game with the greatest interest. until
the big-horn had descended to point about
one hundred yards distant, where it halted
and shifted the air distrustfully.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-12

Hes suspicious" said Jules, peering out
sharply. "Wed better give him shot, or
he'll start up the ledge again"
The young hunters leveled their rifles, took
pulled trigger. The guns roared simultaneous
y, making tremendous reverberation in the
deep gorge.
The sheep leaped yard into the air, then
came down on all-fours, shook itself viigor-
ously, and, turning somersault, came rolling
end over end down the steep face of the
cliff, landing in little cluster of bushes not
fifty yards from where the boys were lying.
In an instant, the lads were hauling their
prize out of the eopse, finding it stone dead,
the neck. 1t was good,sized animal fully
i've feet in length, including its somewhat
stubby tail, and in prime condition.
| Of course the next thing to be done was to
dress the game, which the boys did quickly,
using their knives as skillfully as they had
done their rifles Then they hung the choice
pieces of meat, tied together with strips of
the tough skin, to the limbs of the cedar, and,
remounting, rode further into the canyon, in
hopes OF finding more game.
1t soon became evident, however, that the
sheep had gone far up the mountains, and,
as the creatures are most daring and skillful
climbers, the boys knew it would be only a
waste >pf time to search further
they therefore turned back, and soon halted
at the cedar where they had left the meat
lms they arranged compactly and tied to
their saddles for easy transportation; and
then, mounting again. they rode leisurely
down the valley.
1t was well past noon when the young
hunters entered the plain below, and, being
ravenously hungry, they drew rein under the
shade of tree standing some distance from
the stream, and made hearty lunch from
the contents of small canvas bag, which
they, had brought along with them from the
ranch.
Having finished their repast, the boys were
soon on their way again, when their atten-
ton was attracted by cloud of dust that
hung oyer heavy clump of chaparral far to
the right.
81 wonder what that means?" said Jules.
drawing rein as he spoke. Its very queer. y
Possibly it's part of the herd of mountain
sheep passing along behind the chaparral,
and making for the valley" suggested Glen.
"It isn't likely they would leave the tender
grass of the valley for. this barren plain,'
| Jules remarked. Anyhow" he continued.
"we can easily find out. Let's ride over that
way, and maybe we can get shot at some
thing. though l can't conceive what it win
be-"
And with this, the boys turned their ponies
in the direction of the chaparral, unstrapping
their rifles and getting them ready in case
they should be needed.

And then he leaped to the ground and be-
gan to examine the bands, while Jules went
slowly on.
Glen consumed more time in tightening the
grth than he had expected, for he found the
tongue of the buckle had become twisted and
was not readily Strengthened again.
He was still tugging away, with his head
half covered by the. flap of the saddle, when
ioud shout from Jules startled him. and look
ing up, he saw his chum galloping away at

Glen, greatly excited, of course leaped into
the saddle, which he had now adjusted, and
wa was Just urging his pony into run, when he

suddenly and releasing, the girth entirely
leaped to the ground just in time to escape
a heavy fall, the saddle coming after him.
Gien was, on his feet in second, and
caught at the reins, but the pony eluded his
horse at rapid gait.
Turning quickly around, Glen was almost
paralyzed at what he saw
A herd of cattle, at least twenty in num-
pei' Mcie Sdiopug IuTlouSly toward MIN, ana
less than two hundred yards away.
1t was fearful sight, indeed, as the wild
creatures, came tearing along, with heads up,
tails lashing their sides, their long, white
horns cleaning in the dustclouds, and the
earth fairly. trembling beneath the furious
pounding of their great hoofs, while their
mad believing filled the air.
Glen had met with curious adventures be-
fore, but never in his life had he encountered
such an appalling danger as this; and it is
not to be wondered at that he was dazed and
bewildered for moment.
His first impulse was to seize his rifle.
which lay on the ground near the saddle, and
shoot the steer which should first approach,
hoping thus to frighten the herd; but the
| chances of success were too slender to war
rant so hazardous an attempt, and he aban-
doned the idea at once
There was really but one possible chance
of escape open to the boy, which was to run
for the stream some one hundred yards dis
tant; and seeing this, the instant he recover
ed his wits Glen started at full speed across
the level prairie in that direction.
If the herd had kept straight on in the
course it was moving when Glen started, he
could have gotten beyond its sweep without
great difficulty; but the instant the cattle

E in Colorado of which his father was
commandant.
Jules Ruleaux, the ranchman's son, and
Glen, being of the same age and disposition,
were fast friends. Their acquaintance had be
gun at the post school, at which soldier
of the garrison, detailed for the purpose,
taught the soldiers children the three Rs"
and precious little else-Jules having been adj
mitted to the benefits of the school on the
ground that his father sometimes supplied the
troops with fresh meat, and SO was sort of
attache of the establishment.
Then followed a devoted friendship between
the pair, cemented by the countless adven-
lures which they had in common, when, re
leased from the irksome task of speller, arith-
metic and copy-book, they ran, like the wild
colts they were, all over the adjacent country.
Being. only sons they were greatly INDUCED
by their fond parents, as is customary IN
erality did not ruin them-for, though their
education was not as carefully superintended
as it might have been, they were neverthe-
less growing up into brave. manly, self-re-
liant men, qualities that will always stand
their possessors in good stead, and which al
ways have golden value in the vicissitudes
of life.
Each lad owned his own pony, which he
rode with the fearlessness and skill of a cow
boy; while, with their light but superb rifles,
matches and in the field, that would have
been highly creditable to any trapper or army
scout.
One of Mr.. Ruleaux's vaqueros, or herds
men, had brought in word two days before
that number of mountain sheep had come
out of the range and were feeding in the. val
ley below, and, as game of all kinds had been
scarce of late, this news filled Jules Ruleaux
with supreme delight.
The lad had at once sent message to his
friend Glen to come over to the ranch and
spend his birthday in grand hunt in honor
Of the occasion; and, in obedience to the in
vitation, the latter had arrived the night be-
fore, armed and equipped for days outing.
Glen's birthday opened auspiciously. The
sky was cloudless;. mild breeze was blowing,
and the air was fresh and crisp.
The boys were up bright and early, had n
substantial breakfast, and the first rays of
the morning sun found them well on the way
to the valley where the game was reported
to be feeding.
AS they ambled along briskly on their sleek,
well-fed ponies, with their rifles strapped
across the saddle-bows, they chatted gayly,
discussing the situation and the probabilities
of the result of the days hunt.
