Converse was out with a scouting
party when he came upon the little
matched hut half hidden in the chap
arral. In the light of a full moon sift-
Ing down through the foliage he was
inclined to believe that the hut was
a creation Of his fancy and the white
gowned form that vanished at his ap-
proach was Of the same Elusive mate

verse leading the way in the opposite

Together they moved noiselessly
through the mesquite growth, pushing
aside the shrubs with hands wary of
the long thorns that scraped skin and
clothing and retarded their progress
at every step.
When the two men returned to the
American camp the moon was still
bright. Between them they escorted a
prisoner. a surly, half-breed Mexican
who had leaped at them from behind
tree only to fall a victim to their
superior numbers and swiftly moving
arms. After this bloodless skirmish
their thorough search of the hill was
ended and so they returned to camp.
Instead Of seeking the rest his
weary body demanded, Blake Converse
waited until the confusion incident

At last he stood forth In a little

Strong contrasts of moonlight and
black shadows produced grotesque

Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE HUMAN BRUTE.
By EDWIN a. NYE.

oNo Cs
A lean, worn team of horses was
hitcbed to heavy truck filed with
coal.
The tired animals thrust their neckS
into the collars and strained hard to
keep the load moving. The street led
up sharp incline. There had been
a slight snow, and the street was slip
perry.
The load was heavy enough without
a hill to contend with. There must
have been hard hearts at the coal
yard where this truck was loaded.
The team tried to get start up the
hill and failed.
The driver brought his heavy whip
down on the backs of the poor brutes
They lunged forward, straining at the
tugs. Their feet slipped. One went
down, and the harness dragged the
other one off his feet.
And the driver?
Without asking help from any one
in getting the animals to their feet he
deliberately got down from his high
perch and as deliberately gave each
of the PROSTATE horses kick in the
ribs.
The coward!
He who kicks horse when it is
helpless is as mean as he who kicks a
man when he is down. And it is as
brutal to kick a horse without provo
cation as to kick man without provo
cation. Only there Is this difference
The horse cannot fight back.
The driver of that team would think
twice before he mistreated q man. He
might cherish a wholesome fear of
getting what was coming to him. But
the horse was effectually tied up in
harness and defenseless.
In this case telephoned for a hu-
| name officer.
A few weeks before l had been in
the tent Of the boss hostler Of big
circus. / asked him concerning the
treatment Of the fine, sleek horses un-
der his charge.
"Kind treatment only.
| IF hostler miStreats q horse by
beating or kicking he gets his time
and is promptly discharged. l will not
even permit my horses to be spoken
to harshly."
Some of the owners of Kentucky
thoroughbreds are almost as particu-
lar concerning the treatment Of their
fine horses as about the treatment of
their children.
Only a human brute will maltreat a
dumb brute.
1t is great pity that in every such
case of cruelty a like treatment can
not be accorded the human brute.

FILE MINNESOTA
RATE CASE BRIEF
Attorneys Lay Large Document
Before Supreme Court.

Probably the largest brief ever filed
with the supreme court of the United
States was required by former Attor.
ney General Simpson of Minnesota
and his associates in telling the court
in printed form their side of the fa-
NOUS Minnesota rate cases.
The case will come up fol- oral argu-
ment along with rate cases from half
a dozen other states on Feb. 10.
Associated with Attorney General
Simpson were Lyndon A. Smith, now
attorney general; Edward T. Young
and Thomas D. O'Brien.
1t was contended that strangulation
of. the states power to regulate in
trastate business would not extend the
federal power to cover intrastate COM
-merce and that if the decision of the
Minnesota federal court annulling Min.
nesota state rates stands intrastate
commerce must go unregulated.
1t was argued that the state rates
would not be confiscatory of the rail.
road property If the income was fig.
ured on the property the railroads
had contributed to the public service
or in the money invested therein or
what the facilities were worth.
Figuring on the basis of what il
would cost to acquire the rights OF
way and build new roads was de-
nounced as unfair The old rates en-
forced by the railroads would be con-
fiscatory if figured on such an inn
proper basis, 1t was argued. ~
