He passed acre after acre of re-
claimed fields. the pony hurrying
on impetuously. Huge trees threw
fantastic shadows athwart the
moonlit road. Rand was half in
! clined to believe that it was some
hallucination Of the moonlight
which presently made the cayuse
halt and snort and then begin to
dance fearfully from side to side.
But the animals ears were tense.
ly forward, and when Rand jerked
its head angrily to one side he
could see the whites of the fright
ened, rolling eyeballs.
"Hello!" he said, softly. Some
thing up? Let's see. Here, you
devil-on-springs, be still"
He sawed on the bit until the
cayuse was for a moment quiet, If
trembling in every muscle. Rand
dismounted at the favorable instant
and stepped forward, thrusting his
arm through the reins. The cay
use hung back and began to snort
again. Rand swore at him COM
prehensively, and finally settled the
matter by arbitration-tied his
horse to a nearby tree.
Then, moving forward, he put his
foot on something in deep shadow
something soft and yielding. Dis
gust stirred within him and he
drew back. Dead horse!" he NUT
tered. But it was worse than that
A vague moan struck his ear as
he was turning away. Now, a dead
horse does not moan. Rand whirl-
ed about on his heel. whats
that?" he demanded.
There was no answer-not a
sound. Yet he was sure that he
could distinguish a barely audible
fluttering upon the silence as of
breath laboriously drawn.
Somebody hurt!" Rand ex-
claimed, anxiously. He stepped
over the body Of the dead animal
and went down on both knees by
another body. "Poor dewitt" said
Rand, compassionately.
The blackness was dense. Rand's
cropping fingers found face, warm
beneath his touch-an oddly
smooth cheek, absolutely still. A
tangle of long hair enmeshed his
fingers, and Rand's heart seemed to
leap into his mouth.
Great heavens!" he cried. 'Tt's
why, it's a woman!"
That was true. He made out that
her horse had fallen, catching one
foot beneath it to hold her a firm
prisoner. She. had probably tainted
after long and eXhausting strug-
gle to free herself.
A dead horse is no mean weight,
but there was 10 time to lose and
nothing at hand which would serve
as lever Rand discovered that it
was no more than foot which was
held down inexorably, and some
how-he could not have said how,
later; but strength comes to one
wherewith to meet emergencies
somehow he lifted the dead bulk of
the thing and simultaneously drew
the woman free. A moment later
he had her in his arms and was
bearing her out into the moonlight,
to put her down on a soft spot by
the road side.

CHAPTER III.
BY the Roadside

A similar thought may have been
in Rand's mind. AS he rode on,
more sedately when once he had
left the siding few hundred yards
IN the rear, grimly satisfied look
showed upon his face-a smile of
sinister sweetness.
With his hands crossed idly upon
the pommel, he slouched in the sad
die; long limbed, we'll knit figure
of a man, impressive with it's sug-
gestlon of intense, well conserved,
latent force. The bedrock truth
upon which his character was
builded was apparent almost to the
casual glance-in the serious bust
nesses of life Rand wasted no en-
ergy; he waited patiently, holding
his temper. striking only when the
time came, and then striking but
once.
His eyes were gray and keen and
clear-the eyes of man who has
accustomed himself to the wide,
free skies of the open spaces. His
facet was deep bronzed and clean

exceeding nicely of Rand's attire
was an idiosyncrasy, not a weak
ness.
In time he became aware that
Hydrant lay in cup-shaped hollow
in the plain; or, rather, in a saucer
like depression, up to one rim of
which the pony was gradually car
rying him.
Presently he topped the rise and
commenced an infinitely gradual
descent into the Nampa valley
And now, though still the mesquit

Rand rode on and passed into the
heart of it. A barely perceptible

atmosphere. Beyond the hills the

scarlet and sapphire, yellow and
blue. The last rays of the sinking
sun touched the clouds with an in

lay upon the land.
A globe-like moon, rudy and
hot, sailed with dignity up toward
the zenith-a moon of drouth-time
1t wrapped the desert in a weird
reddish light, like some soft en-.
chantment. Rand came to the Dor
der of the titled grOund-to the
barbed wire fence on one side of
which the wilderness rioted, while
on the other the alfalfa grew
obediently under the care of man.
His cayuse shifted the air and
quickened it's pace. Rand was con-
scious of a delicious smell of mois,
ture, mingled with the perfume of
the alfalfa. He turned to look, and
saw a broad field glimmering like
a still sea in the moonlight
where the water had been let in
upon the thirsty acres.
A broad and dusty avenue led
him on, it seemed Unfortunately,
straight as Roman road Rand

WORLD OF SPECULATION.

NEW YORK, Sept s,-The tone
of the speculation marked suffered this
week from distrust caused by the vio-
lent break in American Smelling, dac
TO disappointment over the non ap-
pearance OF Standard Oil interests on
the directorate. A decline in the
price OF copper and silver added to
the weakness Of the metal and mining
group of industrials. The govern
ment report on cotton, the rise in the
grain markets, the poor showing of
reports OF railway earnings and the
slow, although sure recovery in the
iron and steel trades, have conduced
to more conservative speculative
attitude. The great abuse of money
facilities guards the market against
precipitate liquidation and stimulates
substantial investment. demand, es-
pecially for mortgage issues. Banks
and financial institutions are reported
to be large buyers of the latter,

In the last month the number of
cases of dog bite treated at the pas
teur Institute fell off a great deal.
Before the board of health instituted
its death penalty enforcement of the
law demanding a muzzle or leash on
all dogs in the streets, the institute
had as high as So cases under treat
ment. There are now only IS cases
in the institute and these will soon
be discharged.
