A popular member Of a certain

UNIQUE distinction of having attended
one school for IL years without Delhs

this, the youth is the proud owner OF
IL medals. When the eleventh medal

makes a break III shoot him full OF

He sat like a statue on his shining
horse. his six-shoOter balanced to shoot,
and sOmes hing IN his very presence
the bulk OF his body. the forward
thrust OF his head. and the burning
hate OF his eyes-quelled the spirits
OF the rebels. They were a rag-tag.
army. mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms OF every
known make.
It was just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been leyying tribute
on the land for a century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south of the American border.
The fiery chances OF the American
made them cringe as they had always
cringed before their masters, and his
curses turned their blood to water. He
lowered above them like a giant, pour
ing forth a torrent of oaths and beck
oning them on their way, and the lead
er was the first to yield.
With hand half-raised and Jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking, some protest
ing. some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats. AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After ALL they we're a generation OF
slaves, those low-browed. unthinking
poems, and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line of bewildered soldiery, looking in
vain for the men that were behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat so courageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia, whose eyes were still
round with wonder, and led the way
down the trail.

WORLDS WONDER IN OREGON

THE END.

Springs hot enough to cook beans
and boil eggs in three minutes have
been found within short distance OF
Portland. Ore. They are on the Clack'
amas river, 80 miles south OF Esta-
cada and 70 miles from Portland.
These springs are so in number,
and one throws out a stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for many
wears, A French halfbreed named
Michel Arquetto, trapper, hearing an
old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak
Of hot springs this side of the range,
made an investigation and FOUND
them.
The springs are supposed to be the
hottest in the world-22O degrees
BEANS have been cooked In the larg-
err spring with the same dispatch as
on a stove. Eggs, enceased in mesh
of any kind, have been cooked In three
minutes. Even fish have been caught
in the Clackamas river and without
being taken off the line have been
dropped into the spring and In very
brief time cooked to a turn.
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly impregnated with
salts, but not of sufficient strength

Many stories are told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper

Gracia's fingers and putting her hand

What they said he did not know, for
his mind was suddenly a blank; but

PROLOGUE.

FEN authors itving today have
the force and dtrectness, the
rugged strength and vitality OF
style of Jack London. This new
novel is one Of his best. 1t is a
story of the prize ring, a real
mans story, big and vigorous
and thrilling. Behind the tense
life, the excitement of the fight
itself, one can see in reading
it the crookedness, the devious
pays of the Keen witted men who
stage the big fight and reap the
profits. More than this, one can
see into the soul of the Abys-
nal Brute himself, one of the
strangest, most human and fas-
ctnating characters London has
ever drawn, a brutser who rs a
scholar as we'll, who is honest
and clean and innocent up to
the moment of his disilluston-

of strange phase of American
life.
