YOUNG BRIDE j;
HUSBAND FOLLOWS
Girl of Is Takes Hazardous
Ride to Escape Him.

Durango, Colo, Oct. Mrs. Agnes
Soulson, a bride of 16. to escape her
husband, rode in the darkness over
steep mountain trails, along the edge
of rayines hundreds of feet deep, made
daring jumps across narrow ravfnes
and forded the Animas river half a
dozen times. She reached the home of
her parents in this city just half an
hour ahead of her pursuing husband,
and fell into her mothers arms asking
protection, saying he had abused her.
Soulson. who had missed his wife
an hour after she had left the ranch,
tried to obtain an interview with her,
but she was obdurate. Then being told
Of his grief over her departure, she
finally consented to talk with him.
She then consented to return with
him.
They started soon after breakfast
and rode steadily until noon. Then the
girl decided she had made a mistake
In agreeing to go back home and re-
fused to go any further.
After vainly arguing for two hours
eoulson gave up and returned alone
to his ranch.

PROOF, CONTINENTS
WERE ONCE JOINED
Siberia and Alaska Once To-
gether, 1t Is Demonstrated.

Seattle, Oct. 3.-For the first time
in history the proof of the fact that
Siberia and Alaska were once joined
along the Aleutian chain will be on ex-
hibit at the big Alaskan-Yukon-Pacifi
Exposition at Seattle next year. This
fact, although surmised for long time
has only been scientifically established
in the past two or three years.
1t was in 1906 that e. M. Kindle and
J. M. Barnett. Of the United States
geological survey, visited the valley
Of the Yukon. In the course Of their
search they discovered several speci-
mems Of fossil invertebrates which do
not exist in any other portion Of the
continent Of America, but which do ex-
list in Siberia. This does point con-
clusively to former junction Of the
two continents.
According to the recently issued re-
port of these scientists, 1t was not
known before that these fossils which
they discovered, existed on any por-
ton of the continent of America.
A number Of the best Of these relics
OF former times, which are to be ex-
hibited at the 1909 exposition in Seat
tie were dug from the mud at the bot
tom Of a river bed by the two scien-
lists with the greatest difficulty and
labor.

pretty story about how Moore came to
write those verses" volunteered one of
the audience, who was great admir-

Tom Moore was the best type of an
Irish gentleman, quick of wit, warm OF
heart and the beau ideal of gallantry.
All these qualities made him great
social favorite with both sexes, but
although he numbered among his
friends such companions as Lord By
ron, and although he lived in a world
which loved to firt its scarlet sins,
Tom Moore was man of exceptionally
clean morals for that bedraggled per-
iod. He was in love with his wife,
Mary, who inspired many Of his ten
derest lyrics, and his fidelity to her
was only one of the MANY traits of
this lovable man.
"On one occasion business had TAX

months during which period his had
been very Ill. She had recovered in
his absence, but Moore fastened back

his mission. But when he arrived Mary
was not there with the greeting he so
ardently expected and hurt by her abb
ssnce he was silent for moment, and
than he asked:
"But Mary, where is she? had
thought she would be the first to wei
come me-"
Sadly a member Of the family mo-
toned to an adjoining room. darkened

Moore gently took her in his arms
and presently led her to the light to

Alas, in the daylight glare the rea-

apparent, for smallpox had left its

face. With all the sweetness OF his
devotion Moore soothed ard comfort
