Were Kind to Horses.

The criminals had taken a surrey
from Daniel Promo to which Il the
Gallus team was hitched. The horses
were found about five miles from the
village at the Gus Yarkie place not far
from the Farnum school house. The
horses had been unhitched from the
surrey, the harness had been thrown
into the vehicle and apparently they
had ample time TO do all this before de-
parting. The place where the team
was unhiTched is near the steep grade
on the Chicago & Northwestern where
the freight trains puff and puff J.. in
climbing up Devils nose. 1t is
thought they got aboard freight
at this point and came to Baraboo 5to
get another train to make a safe
escape.

irritation, and laughed.

angry gesture.

loathsome."
Her companion met her eyes direct

sat down beside him on the small
sofa. AS he did not move, or look at
her. but regarded his cigarette with
interest, she leaned close to him and
whispered: Gordon, try to be nice
and decent. Try to forget yourself
Don't you see what wonderful
chance it is for me, and that, as far as
you and I are concerned, it can't go
on?"
The face of the man by her side
grew somber. The charm this woman
had for him had never lessened since
the day when he told her he loved
her, long before his marriage, and
they were both too poor.

Edith is jealous OF me every day and
hour of her life. Can't you be gener-

He rose and stood over her, looking
down at her beautiful form and her
somewhat softened face, but his eyes
were hard and his face very pale.
''You had better go, Gordon" she
said slowly; "you had better CO.. ;"
Then, as he obeyed her and went
like a flash as far as the door, she fol

How a Black One Rolled
Down a Hill Like a
CartWheel.
THE SIXTEENTH STORY.

1t was in the fall of the year about
1866 The autumn artist had not yet
tinted The timber on bank and
bluff and the katydid was singing his
song of did and didn't. The acorns
had fallen from the parent oaks and the
harvest lay undisturbed under thou
sands of trees scattered over thesparce-
lY settled county. The farmers were
busy with their fall blowing, prepar-
ing the soil for the yield of another
crop. The bluff land was then IN a
wild state and provided a home for
bears, lynx, wolves, wild cats and
other game.
On Sank prairie Herman Albrecht
was blowing On the Samuel Crockett
farm which is now owned by Martin
MoeIey. There are bluffs on almost
every side of the cultivated land and
the place is familiarly called the pocket
farm. AS Albrecht came to turn in
the field he happened to look over to
the elevated land back of the house and
noticed dark object which was SO far
away that be thought it was black
hog. He took another look and then
called to Ephriam Crockett on the next
farm shouting: "Look there, Payne's
old black sow has gotten out again"
"No," says Crockett, who must have

she Said Sharply: you're out Of your
senses, Gordon-and what If I love
him?"
With a low exclamation he caught
her hand at the wrist so hard that
she cried out, and he said between his
teeth: "You don't love him! Take
those words back"
"Of course I do. Let me free"
NO." he said passionately, holding
her fast ''Not until you take that
back"
His face, his tone, his force, domi-
mated her; the remembrance of their
past, possible future, made her wav-
er under his eyes, and the woman
smiled at him as Blair had never seen
her smile.
Very we'll, then, goose" she capt.
tulated almost tenderly: Il don't love
that boy, Of course. I'm marrying him.
for his money. Now, will you let me
go?"
But he held her still more firmly
and kissed her several times before he
finally set her free, and went out Of
the house miserabIe-bound to her by
the strongest chains-bound in his
conscience and by honor to his trust
to Dams father, and yet handicapped
by another sense of honor which de-
crees that man must keep silence to
the end.

I'll unhitch my horses and get the
Johnson boys"
The bear stopped beneath an oak
in plain view and commenced to en-
Joy a feed of acorns. Crockett hurried
to the Johnson home not far away
and great was the excitement in that
family when he came up out OF
breath and hurriedly said that bear
was feeding on the Crockett farm.
Roswell Johnson mounted horse
with his gun and rode rapidly away,
the family dog following on the run.
The other Johnson boys hurried along
as fast as their legs would carry them.
While all this was taking place the
bear started for the woods and Ros-
well rode upon the bluff not far from
where the animal was moving slowly
along. Rruin was ON the side of the
steep hill when Johnson shot at him.
When the ball struck he thrust his
head between his heels and went
down the mill, over and over, cart
wheel fashion, never even stopping to
say "Whoof." When be reached the
bottom of the incline he struck tree
which brought him to a sudden stop.
1t was big bear and was received
at the foot of the hill by the dog which
desired to have hand in the bear
killing. Mr.. Bear did not stop to
give the dog hug rs bears sometimes
do but struck the canine just one blow
which sent him head over heels.
About that time Roswell came up and
directed a ball which entered the
BEARS head.
Pioneers were noted for neighborli-
ness and packages of bear meat went
into almost as many homes as the
story of Johnson killing the bear.
