Saved by a Mule

A S must necessarily be the with man who has
had SO much travel and adventure, Hammond has
enjoyed great strokes of luck Soon after he first went
to work, he coming out of Mexico into this country
with gold he had found in small claim. He had
to ford river to get the frontier and when he
reached there it was the middle of night with rain
falling in torrents. He driving double team
consisting of horse and mule. He noticed that the
river high; but thought he could get across without
danger When he tried to drive the into the water
the mule baked. By neither kind words nor blows of
the whip could he get that mule to bulge. Then he
thought that by turning the team and rushing them
down the river bank he could get them far into the
stream that they would have keep to the other
side He tried this three times but each time, while
the horse willing to go forward, the mule stopped
at the waters edge.

man and the beast stood star

In the beasts eyes was heavy
wonder, mixed with curiosity
and dread. Never before had
he seen any being like this
erect, slim shape, yelled and

dangerous; but he was loath
to tear himself away from the
scrutiny of it.
The man, on the other
hand, had neither wonder,
curiosity, nor dread in his

and massive apparition before

impulse had been to snatch
up his rifle and shoot, before
the beast could fade off into

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Such activity
as the stock market displayed today
was invariably in the direction of low
er prices. Business was the lightest
of any full day for some time and mar
rover than usual in that operations
were confined almost exclusively to the
few issues commonly known as specu-

amounted to over rs per cent of the
whole and the professional element had
the field to itself.
A sharp decline in foreign exchange
to the lowest point in almost three
years on heavy offerings OF bankers
bills denoted the strenuous efforts now
being made to import gold before the
end of the year. A notable feature
of the London market was the easier
rate charged in the settlement OF COM
mitments on American securities there:
The general settlements proceeded
without strain in any quarter. AIlerl-

His heart seemed to stop beating.
He strove to pull himself together.
but his head fell forward. Family,
al on battlefield, voices came to
him, and when with superhuman ef-

instant he saw that Neil was no longer

him one suddenly sprang to her feet

When with a great sigh of JOY he
crumpled down upon the earth he
knew that he was slipping off into OBJ
Hvion with Marions arms about his
neck, and with her lips pressing to his
the sweet elixir of her love.
Darkness enshrouded him but few
moments, when dash of cool water
brought him back into light. He felt
himself lowered upon the sand and
after breath or two he twisted him
self on his elbow and saw that Neil's
white face was held on Winnsome's

with water, her eyes shining down
upon him gloriously. Nathaniel
reached up and touched her face, and
she bowed her head until her hair
smothered him in sweet gloom. and
kissed him. He drew her lips to his
own, and then she lowered him gently
and stood up in the starlight, looking
first at Neil and next down at him;
and then she turned quickly back to
the sea.
From down near the shore she
called back some word, and with
shrill cry Winnsome followed her. Ma
thaniel struggled to his elbow, to his

the boat drifting out into the night,
and Winnsome standing alone at the
water-edge, her sobbing cries of en-

her, gaining new strength at each
step, but when he reached her the
boat was no longer to be seen and
Winnsome's face was winter than the
sands under her feet.
"She is gone-gone-" she moaned,
is going-back to Strang!"
And then, from far out in the white
