BURRO PROVES TO BE A HERO
Dumb Animal Stops Heavy Traif
on the Desert to Get Aid
for His Master.

Away out on the Mojave desert
little burro enacted part which
would have called for medal II 1t
were the custom to make such AWARDS
to dumb creatures. ~. , 4.
When the engineer of the fast
Santa Fe limited decided to sacrifice
a moments running time and save
the life of the animal on the track
he spared the life of prospector.
The heavy train came to stop and
the passengers, wondering what had
stopped it far from signs of ciyiliza-
ton, climbed from the sleepers.
They found, standing resolutely on
the center Of the track, sad-eyed lit
tie animal, plainly marked with the
life of the desert It refused to clear
the path of the train until the engi-
neer discovered tied to one OF its
front legs a slip Of paper.
The curious passengers crowded
about the engineer and read an ap-
peal for help from Henry Gooding.
Scrawled on the paper was the blunt
statement he had broken a leg ten
miles south of Siberia and was alone.
At the first station the message of
the injured man was placed in the
hands Of men who brought Gooding to
the town.

my dear sir. I have slight hope of
being successful"
I must admit, as I realized that
when he had finished his present proc.
ess, he would have no more than a
moral certainty that the woman whom
he had picked out was possessed of
the papers and locket, was consumed
with curiosity as to what possible
means he could take to prove posses
sion and effect recovery. Never for
one moment did I doubt but that this
was all clearly formed In his incom-
parable brain.
When the drawing was complete,
we were accompanied by the ambassa-
dor through the curtained entrance to
the large drawing rooms, and found
ourselves at the back Of the clustered
audience, listening to woman noted
as reader of child's poems. She was
at that moment responding to her fin
al encore. The countess, courtly
woman with high Teutonic color,
moved toward us, beaming. The am
bassador presented Rand as M. Mar
con, and Rand, with the mildly unctu-
GUS air of the society faquir, immedi-
ately introduced me, to my utter
amazement, as "my assistant, Mr.. st.
John Coulwer."
"Merciful heavens! I never read a
palm in all my Hfe," / whispered to
him, as we moved toward the dais
where the entertainers took their sta
ton.
Before I had recovered my com.
posture we were announced, and Rand
plunged into his role with a verve that,

Karsch's house to the Swedish engi.

he'd finished with a dour senator's
wife, he said:
Now, ladies, I hope that / have
won your confidence; I have feeling
that there is some one here this after
noon for whom may be able to do a
great good, and. while am lining just
a few more destinies by the chance

suing, Mr. st. John Coulwer will
pass among you seeking that particu-
lar palm in which are the signs Of the
star of the day and hour. I have
feeling that there is some one here
over whom fate hangs today. II this
lady, whoever she may be, will come
forward, will endeavor to draw back
that mysterious veil that shuts the flu
ture from our eyes and bare the Sc
crets that lie beyond"
There was melancholy, depressing
tone in his voice that was inimitable

lump in my throat that seemed to
choke me more and more as pro-

was astounded at the vast difference
in the hands extended as passed, and
was even able to exchange polite bad

sought me to give them the grand OPP

two Of the four Rand had selected had
hands shaped similarly to the drawing,
but the lines were in no way alike.
The third woman had a larger hand
and no crooked third finger.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1911-08-18

The fourth was the woman soughtl
She was pale and nervous, with her
lips closely set, and when I told her
that it was she whose palm bore the
sign Of the day and hour, she shrank
back, as If from an accusation. But
she thrust her pretty chin forward a
trifle, and, when Rand had finished
the reading then in progress, she rose
to her full, stately height, pressed her
trembling fingers to her masses of
hair, then smoothed out the folds of
her rich gown with rapid, down
ward gesture, and led the way, unfal-
teringly, to the dais.
Rand took her hand with marked
gentleness, and his face was grave
and kindly, although the steel-point
CLINT in his eyes belied his whole man.
ner.
There was a moment of silence,
with tense interest among the specta-
tors. The ambassador, his face a
study, drew slowly nearer, with Ru-
dolf at his heels.
"My dear madame" Rand began,
so low that I alone could hear his
words, there seem to be things here
which I feel sure you do not wish

She started visibly.

Her eyes were lighting and darken-

suppressed excitement. Slowly, and
watching her narrowly, Rand told her
points of her character which were
plainly written on her. face, such as
her determination and high spirit, sig

suavity.
'Ah, really. Yes-yes-marvelous.
Um-ah. Yes-yes, of course an
swered the ambassador, In bewil-
dered sort of way.
He started to give the necessary
message to Rudolf.
"Would you be so good as to write
that message and send 1t by another
servant?" said Rand.
Rudolf's eyes snapped with some
suppressed feeling.
When the messenger was gone and
the hand nearing completion, our en-
pIoyer again interposed his inquiries.
"Of course, Mr.. Rand, finding this
woman is one step, but what then?
How can you possibly recover the pa
pers and the locket without arresting
one of my wife's guests? Do you re-
alize that any action of a sort that
would provoke the slightest scene
either in this house or outside of 1t,
where it was traceable to this woman's
presence here, will lead to disclosures
that, no matter how small, will be fol-
lowed by greater ones, all OF which

ness, entire and complete failure, sir?
Rand gave me look that besought
my sympathy. Though | was as
greatly daunted by the obvious diff
culties as was the Count Bela-Moulk-
ma, had faith in Rand that allowed
me to smile. Rand did not answer at
once, and when he did, he used the
tone adopted with questioning child,
and did not raise his eyes from his
work.

Up went two hundred left hands as
he raised his.
He surveyed them rapidly, and said
aside to me after they were lowered:
"Our woman is either the black vel
vet Elizabeth to your right, the tall
eagle in the center, the chianti flask In

Gainsborough on the left, second row.
None of them seems to be of pro-

too late"
The outlook seemed rather hope
less, I must say, as I covertly sur

out several others, and brought them
forward alternately, startling the COM

Rand to the ambassador, who had

the tense scene. Just behind him was

great commotion. The countess was

Rand quietly drew forth the packet

countess by any haste, and passed 1t
behind him to the trembling Count

The astonished diplomat seemed
about to succumb to apoplexy.
"Merciful heavens!" he gasped in
my ear. "This woman is the daughter
of the French secretary. Ten thou

Rand was deftly assisting the count

and across the floor beneath the eyes
