With the swiftness of a military ma

and joined the chase. Before Miss
Renwyck realized what had happened
the herd Of cattle, barking" madly, as
the short, sharp below on such occa-
sions is called, was racing directly at
her forty abreast. In the twinkling OF
an eye every one Of the brutes was in
frantic motion. She was petritied with
establishment, although blissfully ig-
norant of the extent of her danger.
She heard shrill, frightened cry from
her father and looked back. Other
steers-for she had reached the middle

Then she knew her peril. Instinc.

stampeding herd was diverted from
the direct course by her approach and
her cries and turned aside. They swept
around in a great circle, the other
steers blindly following. Before the
girl realized what had occurred she
found herself caught, as it were, on
the edge of maelstrom of panic
stricken animals and swept irresistibly
along with them.

crushed she shook her feet from the

He s1Uept her to his breast ut last and
held her,
at the figure of the girl, as a cavalry
man rides down an obstacle, but he
knew that such a step would be fatal.
The mill must be broken. 1t must be
unwound. The first man swung his
pony in toward the outer edge and
raced with it, seeking an opening near
the woman. to whom he cried words
OF encouragement. With the savage
quirt at his wrist he struck the cattle
ahead of him again and again. The
first blows had no effect. but the repe-
ution at last met with response. They
swerved slightly, and he forced his
horse into the outer edge Having eff
fected this entrance. he knew that he
had made sufficient beginning to en-
able him in the end to loosen the tight
ened ring. He was just a little in
front of the girl, and back of him the
other man was nobly seconding his eff
forts. Would she be able to keep up
long enough for them to accomplish
her rescue?
They worked desperately. Men al
ways work desperately under such cir
cumstances. but in this instance it was
with added incentive. The first, the
nearest man to her, OWNED rather

face. deathly pale through the dust,
that she could not keep up much long

the mill and save the girl. So with re-
doubled energy he bored his way in
and in. The outer edge where he ran
was we'll broken now, but two lines of
steers interviewed between him and the
girl. Sweat poured from his face like
water. His heart thumped as no STAN
peding cattle could have caused it to
beat on any range. He was nearer
row. The cattle were sufficiently bro
ken for him to stake everything on
last effort. He pulled a heavy revolv-
er from his holster and began shooting.
One, two. three steers went crashing
down. He urged his pony into the
open caused by their fall and by main
strength of horse and man bore the
whirling line far outward. The mill

TURNER'S SEVEN
DAY FESTIVAL TO
END TONIGHT
Major Carl Lentz to Be Speaker
at the Closing Ex-
erCises.

With an elaborate in which
a speech by Major Carl Lentz will be
the attraction, the seven-day festival in
honor of the dedication of the hand
some new home of the Newark Turn
Verein in upper william street will
reach its elimination tonight. The
Major has been identified with Turner
interests for years and is a member of
the society.
Besides his address there will be short
talks by Turner's from out of town
and there will be. diversity enough 9th
erwise to keep the expected crowd to-
gether for many a pleasant hour. Pro-
fessor Voss's orchestra will play some
of its most brilliant selections and the
Turner Liedertafel will sing a dedi-
catory chorus.
A prologue composed by Carl Kniep
will be spoken by Miss Catherine Bull,
and after that the keys of the building
will be formally turned over to Freder-
lex Seib, as chairman of the building
committee, by f. H. ogden, the con-
structing engineer. Mr.. Seib, in turn,
will turn owe the building to William
Krause, as head of the Turner's. A
merry dance will wind up the nights
events.
Tomorrow night the general public
will be entertained in a general way
with more dancing and more music.
A reception under the auspices of the
Women's Auxiliary was the attraction
last night, while the pupils of the gym
nastic classes were entertained during
the afternoon by the Ladies' Society.
