Old superstitions are always anus

ularly interesting tell us what should
be done for a babe to insure its fu-
ture good fortune. In many lands.
mothers to this day take pains to
observe these quaint old rites.
An infant should be carried, 1t ID

then It's nurse must stand on chair
with Il in her arms.
A lucky baby will always handle its
spoon with It's left hand rather than
with the right.
In the Isle Of Man It Ia considered
that walking round or stepping over
a child will make It grow up dwarfed
or wizened.
An unmarried girl should hold a

CHAPTER III.
The Call to the Coast.

Knowing that Tom Mingle, the pony
express rider. was due to arrive with
the mail, the settlers of Madison were
gathered at the general store and post
office. to give him welcome and to
secure letters from loved ones living
farther west.
Hell be here on time-unless the
laundering herd has got him." said
old Major Crabtree, a tall. lanky man
wearing a coonskin cap.
mo fear of the herd getting that
young man." said another settler.
I've seen him ride up alongside a
herd on the run and bring down a
buffalo every few yards for half a
mile"
Slaughter. pure slaughter said
a cranky settler. contemptuously.
That's not hunting. It's butchering."
We've got to butcher-as you call
it," retorted Major Crabtree. We've
got to kill all the buffaloes on the prai-
rie. II ever we are to be safe from
Indian attack. You cant subdue the
hostile Indian till you kill off his food
supply. And buffalo is his meat.
When we've killed off all the buffaloes
there won't be much danger thereafter
from Indian attacks. Because then
they'll have to rustic for their food"
You couldn't kill of all the buffa.
loes in fifty years." said the grouchy
settler. They multiply faster than
you can kill them-like rabbits in
Australia"
All OF which conversation is signifi-
cant in the light of what followed not
many years later. For. while the
Northern Pacific railroad was build
ing, the white man killed buffaloes at
the rate of 100000 year for five
years. or total of 10,000,000 in the
five years. And thereafter the attacks
from Indians on the railroad builders
grew less and less frequent, for the
redskin was now busy hunting less
plentiful animal food.
Look! Look!" cried the settlers
now in chorus, as Tom came riding in
with Sally in his saddle.
They wondered what had happened
to Sally, for her hair was unbound and
flowing down over her shoulders like
black cascade.
They dismounted and told the story
Of their hairbreadth escape from the
Gilpin observer., 1915-10-28

OF the great wealth which they we're
to find in California. Across streams
they forded, and up hill and down dale,
till finally they camped for the noon
rest.
And then, suddenly, scout rode
into camp crying:
Fly for your lives! The buffalo
herd is coming
Amid wild excitement all prepared
to get under way. But before all the
wagons could be packed with the cook
ing utensils the herd came into sight
around a bluff and swooped down upon
them-a herd in stampede. The stam-
pede had only just begun, or else the
thunder of the hoofs of the million and
more animals would have warned the
settlers in time to escape.
But now what could they do? There
was no time to get all those numbering
wagons out of the path of the oncom-
ing herd. The best they could do was
to take refuge. one and all. within the
wagons and trust to good fortune that
the herd would pass without trampling
down their horses.

CHAPTER II.

In the Path of the laundering Herd.
Sally Madison lived alone with her
brother in a log cabin on the outskirts
settlement had been thus named in
honor of its first settler, Colonel Madi-
son, Sally's father. Colonel Madison
and his invalid wife, the mother of
Sally and her brother Luke, had gone
to California. by the doctors orders.
to seek cure for Mrs. Madison s
malady in the more salubrious climate
of the Pacific coast. And Sally and
Luke had been left behind to look
after the Madison interests on the
prairie till such time as their father
and mother should send for them to
join them on the coast.
This morning. as already described.
Sally and Luke heard the thunder OF
the hoofs of the laundering herd 20
miles away and knew that the buffa-
loes were in stampede.
And now Sally said: Brother Luke,
I'm going to meet Tom Mingle."
Luke, a shiftless. good.for-nothing
fellow afraid of his shadow and Ger.

ing the laundering herd, resumed his
whiting to hide his cowardice.

said. Amt you afraid OF an ava.
lanche? Get in the path of an ava
lanche and you're a goner. Get in the
path Of that herd and their hoofs will
fiatten you out like a hide that is
stretched out to dry. Better stay here
Sal"
With sniff of contempt Sally left
her cowardly brother to his whiting
and sailed forth toward the prairie
She wanted to meet Tom Mingle for
more than one very good reason. The
first reason was that Tom Mingle, the
pony express rider, was Sally's lover.
She had promised to marry him. The
second reason was that perhaps Tom
Mingle brought. in his mailbag, a
letter from her parents in California; I;
and perhaps he would open his bag
and give her the said letter without
the formality of passing It through
the post office at Madison. For In
those days formalities were none too
closely observed by the pioneers, even
formalities that were supposed to be
associated with Uncle Sans mails.
Forth and out upon the open prairie
Sally wended her way, scanning the
horizon ever and anon for sight Of the
lover whom she expected. He was due
this very morning and within this very
hour in Madison. And Sally knew that
he would come riding like the wind,
not only because he was pony ex-
press rider, but because. the swifter

CHAPTER ~.
In the Midst Of the Herd.

In the Midst OF the Herd.
While making their preparations for
departure Sally and Tom happened to
remember the bag of gold dust which
Colonel Madison had sent from Cali.
fornia. They showed this gold to Ma
jor Crabtree. The major called up
other settlers and the gold was passed
around. Tom then read them that
part of Colonel Madison's letter say
ing that everybody was getting rich"
That settled it. The sight of the ac.
tual gold and the implied promise, by
Colonel Madison. to the effect whose
would come to the coast would find
the treasure of the earth in the form
of yellow metal. caused Major Crab

tiers:
I'm going, boys. I'm going with
Tom and Sally. Who's going with
me?"
I'VE are!" shouted half the settlers
in the group.

The consequence was that. a few
days later. wagon train half mile
long pulled out of Madison-a score
of prairie schooners pulled by horses
and mules and oxen. All those in the
know" treated Sally's brother Luke
with silent contempt, refusing to shake
his hand in good-by because of his
failure to keep his vow to his father
to bring his sister to the coast.
Forth across the prairie westward
wound the long train of prairie schoon
ers, with happy lot of settlers. the
minds Of all being filled with visions
Gilpin observer., 1915-10-28
Listen. Luke! Do you hear distant

Listen, Luke! Do you hear distant
thunder?"
YES" replied Luke, the thunder
of the laundering herd. A herd of
buffaloes tampeded-twenty, maybe
thirty miles away. And there be those
in this settlement who say they have
heard the thunder of buffalo hoofs full
fifty miles away"
Meantime Chief Swift Wind and his
hunters, skirting the edge of the
laundering herd, drove arrow upon
arrow into the tough sides of the buff
faloes, and their carcasses lay strewn
on the prairie like soldiers along the
route of retreating army that is
narrowed at every step by the sharp
shooters of the enemy.
At the same time, on the other side
of the herd. solitary horseman could
be seen by the Indians as he rode
along ridge, occasionally outlined
against the sky as he appeared on
crest after crest in flight He was
young white man, riding hard and
fast and furious. He. too. could see
the Indians on the other side of the
herd. The intervening herd assured
his safety from attack from the red
skins, for nothing short of artillery
could have hewn its way through that
mass Of maddened animals.
Presently, as the white rider could
see, the Indians ceased their Staying
and went back to pick up the car
casses, which they would now rope
and tow, in the wake of their horses,
to their village. And soon after that
the white rider, coming from the west.
reached his relay station. For this
rider was a pony express rider. He
was Tom Mingle. the bravest man and
most daring horseman on all the pony
express route and the best shot
among all those riders of that day,
who carried Uncle Sans mail and
Wells-Fargo money packages between
the California coast and the interior
settlements in New Mexico and Kan
sas on the Santa Fe trail. Tom Min
gle's run was from a certain settle
ment in northeast New Mexico, across
the northwest corner of what is now
Oklahoma, thence into southwest Kan
sas, to the settlement of Madison!
At the relay station Long Jim
Candle was waiting with fresh horse.
Tom Mingle sprang from his painting
horse. that had just covered the 18
miles from the relay down the val
ley, yanked his saddlebags from his
saddlebags containing mail
for the settlement of Madison-threw
the bags on the fresh horse and re-
mounted. He tarried only long enough
to say to Long Jim.
"A herd yonder is in stampede,
Long Jim. Injuns are arrowing them.
You can see 'em from that knoll yon-
der. Have no fear of the Indians, for
they will retire to their village with
their kill long before the intervening
herd has passed. For it will take that
herd fully three days to pass any given
point"
Tom Mingle then dashed away on
his fresh horse, to cover the last lap
of his route into Madison, 20 miles
away.
And the laundering herd continued
in it's. wild stampede, it's hoofs shak-
ing the prairie like quake and caus-
ing Long Jim to wonder as at some
thing too vast for human understand
ing.

Attorney General Contends Courts
Cannot Change Legislative Enact
ment In Civil Service Bill.
Denver.-The right of the Legisla-
ture to attach the safety clause with
out restriction and thereby enact
measures In form to prevent their
reference to the people was argued
In a brief filed in the Supreme Court
by the attorney general. The brief
Is in answer to the contentious of
counsel for the Civil Service Reform
League. which is attempting to COM
pei submission to the referendum
of the amended civil service law
passed by the Legislature last winter.
In connection with the attempted
referendum 1t has developed that, re-
gardless of the outcome of the pres
ent litigation. civil service will be an
issue at the general election in No
vember, 1916 At that time the peo-
pie will pass on the question Of in
cooperating civil service in the state
constitution through a new amend
ment, thereby removing from the GEN.
eral Assembly the right to change the
merit system through statutory acts.
When the petition to refer the civil
service bill was circulated the Civil
Service Reform League also circulated
a petition for a civil service constitu-
tional amendment It is now in the
hands Of the league, with some u
signatures attached. An additional
5000 or 5000 names must be obtained
before it is filed.
The chief argument made in support
Of the Legislatures exclusive right to
suspend the operation of the referen-
dunn is that the courts, as constituting
one coordinate branch of the govern
ment, are forbidden by the constitu-
ton itself from interfering with an
other coordinate branch. The judici-
ary. legislative and executive. consti-
tute the three coordinate branches.
