Of relief that she was free from the world of the
prophet and out in the beginning OF the open.
She exulted IN her freedom. Had she not sur
rendered all her things al her friends and aSsO-
ciates, her successes. with JOYOUS content in
her strengths Was she not stronger than most
women. and was she not approaching love with
triumph of soul?
She was vibrant as she sat there and re1nem-
bered how the struggle had first begun: on
board ship when he had touched her hand as
1t lay on the rail-, when they had looked into
the darkness Of the night over the darkness
of the sea. She had swayed toward hum and
kissed him. and then caught SnatCheS OF his
iuCOhereut love words She was q singer that
had Won. a woman whose name was before
the people OF two continents. He knew that.
and had asked nothing of her beyond the mo-
ment. 1t would not be right to ask her love,
he had said.
And the letters he had written from his field
Of duty asked nothing either. though they were
full of his loneliness. He wrote Of the plains.
OF the silence out there. of his willingness to
live alone if she would only let him hear from
her now and then. In words he had never
asked her to come to him: but she was sure OF
his desire.
Mountains and valleys and prairies. she had
seen before, the plains she had never seen.
She waited for them Impatlently; and IN the
morning when she saw them luminous IN the
dawn, full OF mystery, stretching away as far
as sea stretches, she lay quiet IN her berth
and watched the COlOTS spread toward her
from the horizon All day she watched the
ColOrS, made q song Tor her. they were
full of motion. She saw herself riding horse
back through the hehOtrope haze toward the
distant dim lined mountains. She saw purple
smoke rising from her own tent that lay shin
ing in the midst of the color. She saw her chill
dren playing on the blankets before the tent,
lust as the Indian children were playing She
surrendered herself to the plains and the future,
and drew deep breathS of expectation.
At sunset her breath came faster, she sang
to herself in the rhythm of the wheels that
rushed on 10 the near destination. She pc
tured a morning ride out L camp. and the
surprise of the man who had been so lonely.
She planned that they should be married at
sunset. She did not want the pallo- OF elec-
tricity nor the mock light Of gas; she wanted
the red and gold light of a sunset.
\ passenger who had been watching her in
tentness told himself that she artist
who had come as he had: but when he saw
her emotion he decided that she had lived here
in her childhood and was coming home.
THE beauty Of the hotel, built ike an old
Spanish mission. surprised her. The Span
ish colors of the sky hung beyond the other
end of the piazza like banner. Before she
had left the train she had noticed these things.
And when she had come down TO the dining
room. and the sky had become a purple cur
tain, she haStened her dinner that she might
sit out of doors and make for herself a new
vision of the tent on the plains.
Her table was window opening on the
piazza, and she fancied that whiifs of the sage

lhaUISI1IvE OLD GOAT
 IS \ GASOLINE TORCH
SOAKED BY ANGRY CHAUFFEUR, BILLY BUTTS AUTO WHEEL
 AND STRIKES FIRE.

New York.-3illy. an old goat who has become . familiar figure to auto mobilists who ,ass through Livingston. got himself |, fire the other after noon. Billy ms been a chronic loafer about JaneS ?Menders garage and repair-shop [ ad has acquired t:n ardent appetite faf cast-off tires. This pro peRsity .has tempted him to nibble at tires on wheels. the result being that he has caused several explosions.
 At three p. m. an auto stopped at the garage and the chauffeur said h. wanted gasoline. Billy began to snoor the goat when Billy tried to chew . piece out of the mudguard. Bill, lodged the kick. At few minutes att erward the chauffeur, who was carry ing gasoline from garage to auto in a pail. lost his temper and threw the contents of the bucket squarely inro Biily's face. About a gallon of gasu line covered the goat.
 Evidently the gasoline entered Billy's eyes and made him wild. He made rush for the chauffeur. but that man cleverly sidestepped. Billy carried blindly on by the force of his rush. struck full tilt against the brass hub of wheel of the machine. There was a fash of fire. and the next mo ment the gasoline that covered Billy's coat was afiame. Alfred Schwartz. the repair man. says the smash of horns against brass struck fire and that caused the blaze.
 For ten minutes there was a hot time Billy. mass of fire. went dash ing about. Schwartz feared the goat would dive into the garage and set ire to that place. A crowd of boys buried Billy under hail of big snow balls. aLd these put out the fire.

 The Grand Arizona is still in iron sulphides carrying respectable values in copper. From the extent of this ore body, which in places verges in to a chalcopyrite, it certainly holds out strong hopes of a very large low grade deposit.

RIDES FAST: PANTS AFiRE.
Life Saver Loses Trousers When Motor
 Cycle Goes Wrong Under Him.

New York.-The most recent victim of the fwentieth-century speed craze is Arthur Hulse of the Lone HiB Beach life saving station He was confident a motor cycle could be used "a advantage in patroling the beach fer wrecks. He is lying face down ward fin the hospital ward of the life saving station: his scorched trousers are in the hands of a seamstress whf Is putting an asbestos seat in them and his motor cycle. fre-raked and wafer-soaked. is in the shop for re pairs. The stretch of beach which he hoped to cover is being patroEed by other men until he ca~ sit up in com fort
 Hulse is progressive. He coeld not see the necessity for life savers plod ding up and down the beach on foot when motor cycles are on the market and there Is hard beach at every low tide He purchased a machine. learned 10 ride it on the mainland. and ths other day tested it on the ocean front
 The speed gear got out of order. anG the machine ran away with its owner To make the situation worse. the jour nals went dry and a hot box igniied the gasoline. There was fiare-ul' that set fire to the seat of the ma chine. The blaze spread to Hulse. and soon his coattails and trousers were leaving a trail of smoke behind them
 Hulse knew If he stayed on the ma chine he would be roasted alive. If he jumped on he. probably would be killed. Then the bay loomed up. The life saver sent his machine and him self right into the water. and the temperature of the man dropped Sz de grees in three seconds

$. P. RETRAC|NG OLD LINES DOWN
 VALLEY ID B|SBEE AND DOUGLAS

The surveyors, who have been about four miles from Douglas, broke camp yesterday and moved up the valley to one of the Four Bar wind mills. This is explained by the fact that the party at some point on the old survey lost the lines and have returned up the valley to re-trace their steps. Col. Epes Randolph's brother, who is prominently identified with the sur veying work in the valley. and J. c. Mcclure, chief engineer for the Ran dolph lines, were in the city yester- day, but would divulge nothing as to the Southern Pacific plans of defi- lite nature.

STAR PITCHERS USE LOW
 BALL SAYS A0DlE JOSS
Few Leading TwirIers Now Send Ball Near Eaters Neck, Declares
 Cleveland Veteran.

The day of the high ball has passed Not the kind of a high ball' that the man behind the bar concocts-although that, too. has seen its best days with the ball player-but the kind tha: comes high to the batter
 Addie Joss, the veteran pitcher of the Cleveland Maps. is authority for the statement, and he says that the habit of the batters swinging their bats is responsible.
 There was a day when the pitcher who pitched 'em high-who kept them at the batter's shoulder and head was declared . great finger" re- marked Joss.
 But no more Nowadays the grea; pitchers are the fellows who keep the ball breaking at the knees Of the bat ters.
 Take the batter at the plate. When be swings his bat to and fro, waiting for the ball, he swings it on line with his shoulder Hand him one there and he is waiting for it. Put the ball down at his knee and he must strike upward.
 The height of pitchers also has much to do with 1t. Falkenberg, Young, Liebhardt, Foster and myself, for instance. Either one of us starts the ball seven feet from the ground that is, it's more than that number of feet in the air when 1t leaves our out. stretched arm.
 If it comes to the batter at his knees it's probably two feet from the ground. It has fallen more than five feet in traversing the distance be l tween the pitchers slab and the plate, l and the slab is on a mound.
 That ball is not travelling on . line when 1t reaches the batter, there fore he cannot swing straight at 1t He must go under. . T believe the majority of the great pitchers of today are depending upon their low ball The American league pitchers whom have seen use it are stars and the leading fingers in the National league. Threenngered Brown. Mathewson and Overall. also show preference for it. Cy Young used to keep the ball high all the time, but he is also changing his tac tics. The pendulum is swinging and the low ball will be the ball for some lime to come. The batters win e, wise after a while and the pitcher
 will then start them high again"
