Jack" he said, don't you think you
had better go and see if you can find
Prince?"
Eyes, sir" said Jack. "But remember
you must be back before dark "All
right, sir" answered Jack. On reach
ing the street he turned his footsteps
toward the hills. He had gone about a
block when he saw a colored boy
standing on the corner. Jack went up
to him, touched him on the arm and
asked: Have you seen anything of
loose pony?" WAS he very bigY,
asked the boy. mot very" answered
Jack. "Yas, sah," said the darkey.
Where is he?" asked Jack. "Yo jes

started briskly down the street, with
Jack at his heels. When they reached
the end of the street Prince was not
in sight. Jack heard a faint patter of
hoofs and an occasional peal of laugh
ter. Come on and follow me-" said
Jack. On turning a corner they saw
sight that was enough to make anyone
laugh A fat boy was Vainly trying to
hold on to Princes neck. There were
others boys present besides the fat boy,
and they seemed to be choking with
laughter. Prince gave his head
mighty toss that sent the fat boy
sprawling. Jack and his guide came
up and Jack, after soothing Prince,
made his claim to Prince.
When they had mounted, Jack dug
his heels into Princes sides and off
they flew. When they arrived at
Jacks home Jack told the story, and
when Jim left he held a bright silver
dollar in his little black hand.

decided to follow them. They walked
a long way, but finally they came
across the pony. There he lay as
though dead.
Jack soon discovered that he had
stone in his hoof, having lost one shoe
With hard work Jack dislodged the
stone and as the pony was too ex-
hausted to walk, one of the boys went
to a farm house near by and hired the
farmer to take Prince home in big
wagon. At last they all got home, and
though the pony's hoof was very sore
it gradually got better and after
while he was as well as ever; but that
cured him of running away.

began to make arrangements to catch
the pony. They told papa about it. He
said that he would help them catch
the pony the next day. The children
could hardly sleep, they were so ex-
cited. After breakfast they started Off
toward the hills. They walked on till
1880, but couldn't see any trace OF the
pony
Lets go home and get dinner now.
After dinner we will come back and

home at o'clock.

ly, "but come, dinner is all ready for
you"
"After dinner I have a surprise for
you," said mamma while they We're
eating. They were soon through.
Now for the surprise" said Jack; Il
wonder what it is?" Mamma led them
to the barn. In the barn stood Prince.
"How did he get here?" asked Jessie,
"Papas friend, Mr.. Green, who lives in
the mountains, saw a horse run past
his house last night. He jumped up on
his horse, which was standing near all
saddled, and galloped down the road
after the runaway. He soon caught
him and saw that it was Prince. This
morning he brought him here" said
mamma. Lets save all our pocket
money and get Mr.. Green Christmas

told their father what had happened.
He said to JESSIE: run and tell Jack
to get the Bride" Then he said to
Mary: Go and hold the gate open and
if Prince comes back let him in and
shut it quickly"
In the meantime Prince saw a camp
ing outfit coming This frightened him
and he turned off the road he was on
and ran on a road leading to some
hills near the city. He ran about three
miles. Then he saw some nice grass
alongside the road and stopped to eat
near a house.
Two little girls named Grace anq
Nellie lived in the house with their
grandmother. The girls were out play
ing in front of the house. Grace hap
pened to look up. There was Prince
iazily feeding by the roadside. She said
hurriedly to Nellie: Look, there is q
pony. Run get our jump rope ana l
will try to catch him" Grace slipped
up behind Prince and cleVerly caught
him by the name.
The girls tied him to the gate, think
ing that the owner would soon come to
get the pretty pony.
Mary and Jessie's father soon came
and told them that the pony belonged
to his little girls. He gave the girls a
reward of So apiece and invited them
to come and visit Mary and jessie
whenever they wished. ,-

sitting down to supper.
Mrs. Gates was beginning to feel I'M
easy, as it was unusual for the chii-
dren to be away from home at supper
time. "Why! where have you been?"
asked their mother, as they came in all
out of breath.
"Oh. papa and mamma, don't scold!
Mary and I were swinging on the barn
yard gate and were just for the third
ride when mamma called us to come
and see her rabbits. We never thought
to shut the gate, and Prince got out
and ran away to the hills"
"Prince ran away to the hills!' their
father exclaimed in surprise.
Eyes, and | know how we can tell
what direction he went after we lost
sight of him You know it rained yes

be easy to track him." Jack said, with
an anxious look on his face
Prince, while trotting along. turned
into a trail that led to grassy spot,
Here he ate his evening and morning
meal. The green grass was a great
treat to the pony
The following morning the children's
father (who often hunted for game in
these hills) and a neighbor started out
to look for Prince. They soon came
upon the trail that Prince had taken,
and did not take long to locate the
pony.
Mr. Gates had always been kind to
Prince, so he did not have much trou-
BILE in catching him.
Mary and Jessie never left the gate
omen again, so Prince never again had
the chance of eating fresh green grass
in the hills. ADNA B. SKEAGY.

NOT punish them. That night after
thew had been in bed a long time Jessie
awoke and heard a noise at the window.
She woke Mary, and together they drew
the covers over their heads. ut sounds
like some one trying to get in at the

not answer, she was so frightened. AT
last Jessie said: "I'll call mamma; you
wait here till come back" mo no,

understood that she was too fright

''I know what to do, Mary; when ] say

both did as agreed, startling every one

"Our presidents have invariably re.

when foreign subjects were being as

NINE ACCIDENT REVEALS
THRALL OF SUPERSTITION

BUTTE, Mont, Nov 23.-Untn the
bodies Of the six Finnish miners. who
lost their lives in the fire in the East
Side coal mine of the Northwestern
Improvement company at Red Lodge
last Friday, have been removed, the Pin
landers, who comprise so per cent of
the working force at the Northwestern
mines, refuse 10 resume work, declaring
they would not be showing the proper
amount Of respect to the dead were they
to begin work now The supcrstitious
fears of the foreigners are beloved to
be Mt the bottom of their refusal 10
resume work.
As there is slight chance of the bodies
ever being recovered. it being the belief
of the mine owners that the remains of
the six have long since been entirely
consumed, the company is in a sort of
Il quandary.
Should the Fins refuse to reconsider
their announced determination. it will
likely lead TO complications affecting
the two years wsgo agreement between
the mipo operators and the miners.

BY LORD ROBERTS
Field Marshal of English Army
Points Out Danger That
Threatens Nations.
POSSIBILITIES
OF GERMAN INVASION
Declares That Great Britain Is
Not Properly Prepared for
Emergencies.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Speaking in The
House of Lords tonight, Field Marshal
Lord Roberts expressed the conviction
that the lack of n military force suffi-
cient TO make hopeless the attempt of
an invasion would in all probability be
the cause Of the loss of Great Britain s
supremacy at sea. In studied speech
he pointed out the comparative ease
with which Germany could land an
army on the shores Of England. Under
present conditions England would be
forced, he said, TO submit to most hu,
initiating demands
He disclaimed all hostility to or fear
of Germany: but he declared that the
defense Of the islands required imme
dlato attention, There should be an
army so strong in numbers and efficient
IN quality that the most formidable of
foreign nations would hesitate to make
n landing in England. He had aScer-
tanned that vessels capable Of accommo.
dating 100000 men always were avail
able in the northern ports OF Germany
and that as result of the new German
service law 100000 men could be col.
lected in the districts of the nearest
port without trouble.
The great German steamship lines
were in constant practice, embarldng
and disembarlting, aud as tho railroads
were owned by the state all prelimi.
naries TO the actual dispatch of troops
could be carried out with the utmost
secrecy, Germany was perfectly aware.
the field marshal went on, that il would
be essential for her transports to cvade
the British fleet, and she could easily
distract attention by small raids when
disembarkiug, proceeding undis,urbed.
"IC would be folly declared the
lord. "to shut our eyes to these posi-
bilities, however much we desired.
Startling events in the near east have
brought home TO the most careless OBJ
server that nothing could save that
country which is not prepared to pro.
tect itself, II Great Britain continues
10 neglect the most ordinary precau-
tions, she may some day find herself
in the hands Of the invader. This dan.
