his friends place, a fire engine raced
past him.
He Joined in the crowd that followed
It. and was Mortified to find that his

that he had left his precious violin
in the back parlor the night before.
Alarmed for the safety Of his instru-
ment, he rushed into the blazing shop
and made his way to the place where
he knew 1t would be lying. tucked 1t
under his jacket, and after a struggle.

But no sooner had he reached the
street than q bury policeman pounceo
on him and arrested him on charge
of looting . violin from the shop.

BRUCE'SSURE SHOT
BY ELIZABETH LILLIAN HIGGINS.

SNOWFALL!
That comprised the beginning and
the end of the waking thoughts Of
Bruce Telford. He had an idol-it
was his horse.
When the bright, earnest-faced
young fellow was not dashing over
the ranges. he was ministering to the
needs Of the splendid animal. or des-
canting upon its merits and beauty.
Reason to bragg" he was wont to
say think it! There was the
brother, Spitfire, dappled, but hand
some as q girl. Ihad to sell him-all
mischief. Yes. more than that-dev-
ilish, when the reckless mood came
over him. For q month SNOWFALL
mourned. Say. 1t was human-like. He
used to lean over the gate looking
straight across the river. the direction
in which Spitfire had gone. The
hostler used to tell of how he groaned

the Valley massacre during an In
dian uprising.
That was an episode Bruce loved to
tell about. Hemmed in, he had fought
his way through horde Of the dusky
savages. SNOWFALL, with hoofs and
head assisting, a rescued woman and
her baby at the saddle bow, warning
word taken Of the massacre to the
nearest agency at runaway speed.
There was never another Snow
ball, there never will be-" was the
staunch sentiment of the proud owner
Of the famous steed.
Those were bright, brisk days for
the ranch outrider. And then they be-
came halcyon. Una Dacre from the
east came to Station Ten. Bruce
never forgot the first day he met the
dainty, dazzling fairy who came into
his life as a vision-nor she, either.
She had come west to recuperate
from an exhausting social season. She
was not an invalid, only wearied Of

folly, she told her aunt, Mrs. Davis,
the wife of the clergyman at Station
Ten, longing for the inspiring air
of the mountains and the stirring and
unique scenes of the great herding
grounds.
Mrs. Davis was at the garden gate
as Bruce rode by, and had halted him
for a neighborly chat. Then as there
was a flutter of a white dress on the
porch, she called out:
Una, my dear. you fell in love
with Snowfall yesterday. Here ne
is to show himself"
Pretty Miss Dacre came tripping
down the walk and was introduced TO
Bruce. His bronzed cheek fired at
the touch of her dainty hand. She
placed It next across the flowing name
of Snowfall. The animal gazed at her
with his great liquid eyes, and gently
rested his head across her shoulder.
"A friend for life," spoke Bruce
Telford, gravely, tenderly, his voice
tremulous with genuine emotion.
And after that, each day whenever
they passed the Davis home Snowbail
slackened his pace and Una seemed
always waiting for him, and came OUT
to caress him and feed him Jumps OF
sugar.
Our mountain air is doing you
good, Miss Dacre," spoke Bruce one
morning. Mrs. Davis tells me that
at home you had your own pet horse.
I never did it before. but-Snowbaii

hands. would feel proud and hon

Thus Il came about that Bruce saw
a great deal more of Una Dacre than
was good for his peace of mind. Snow
ball seemed to share his regard for
the lovely girl from the east. 1t got
to be so that it was a regular thing
for Bruce to come around with Snow

OF those stirring rides that brought
fresh color and brilliancy to her eye,

WHY MEN SN0OzE IN CHURCH
Explanation That Probably viii Be
Denied With Indignation by the
Women Attendants.

The mystery Of the church snoozer
has been solved.
After determining that the ratio OF
women to men who fall asleep during
sermons Is about l to 234, certain
preachers have gone into the secrets
Of the phenomena and have sought
out the reasons therefor.
Contrary to the popular belief that
mems mind are slower and duller
than those of women. and that there
fore they are more difficult to hold
with the logic Of sermon. the in
vestigating pastors say that the wom-
en- are not brighter. quicker to un-
derstand, more self-controlled and
that their eyes and their minds are
not more easily attached to the SER
mon.
The popular beliefs are all wrong,
the investigators say. The men folk
do pay more attention to the sermons
than do the women. In fact, so IN
tense is the interest of the men In
the sermon that they watch every
motion and gesture of the preacher
until they hypnotic themselves and
fall asleep.
A man can not find deep interest
In John Jones cravat or William
Smiths vest or Sam Whites cuff but
tons. But a woman can sit quietly
In church, only half hearing what the
minister is saying, and see enough OF
clothes and fruit for gossip to keep
her moderately entertained and thor
oughly awake throughout the service.

the afternoon. when he arose erect
and thrilled.
Snowfall was in sight, and swaying
in the saddle. superb horsewoman.
Una had never seemed so lovely-or
dear to him. He had sighed forth the
hopelessness of the love he dared
not express. Now alarm drove every
other sentiment from his mind.
A shrill, piercing cry, almost q
scream had suddenly rent the still air.
On the opposite side of the river a
horse and rider had come into view.
At some unusual sight the horse had
suddenly reared, threw it's rider and,
dashing up to the very edge Of the
bank, stood uttering forth that echo
ing challenge which Bruce had heard.
"Spitflre!" exclaimed Bruce. and he
recognized the dismounted rider az
the man to whom he had sold the
mate of Snowfall over q year agone.
And then his heart stood stu. An
answering call. glad, riotous, delirious
rang out from Snowfall. He had seen
his old friend. All was forgotten Of
discipline. Of gentleness. Once more
he was on his native plains racing
with the companion Of his early years.
She is LOST" died in the ranch
mans throat. "Oh. my love! my love!
And I helpless!
Snowfall had disdained curb, bit
and spur. He had veered and was
making for the point where the road
was unguarded. More than once the
daring steed had sprung down that
treacherous reach. had swum the
river and gloried in the adventure.
In a flash Bruce knew that once
Snowfall started down that steep in
cline Una was doomed. A misstep, a
stumble would be fatal Superb horse
woman as she was, she could not re-
tain her seat.
I've got to do it-for her sake!" is
sued from Bruce Telford's lips In a
hollow groan.
He had less than two minutes in
which to act. if he would save the
woman he loved-but. oh! the terrible
sacrifice.
With a sob he raised his rifle. He
was sure shot. Bang-crack! And
Snowfall fell not 20 yards from the
verge Of the dreadful precipice.
Bruce saw the animal culver, STUN.
BILE and fall inert. He saw Una extri-
cate herself from the saddle, appar-
emily unframed. Then, white as
death, he bowed his head where he
stood, almost broken-hearted.
Thus Una found him. Her hand
trembled as it touched his arm. Her
, voice was full of tears.
"You-you saved me-" she faltered:
but, oh, Snowball!"
Bruce did not speak. It seemed as
If all In life worth having was fading
away from him.
is there no compensation" she
sobbed, full Of womanly pity and love.
when you have gone away-none."
he answered, simply.
She lifted her face. Her eyes met
his own.
II shall not 60 away" she said and
, buried her face upon his shoulder.
