We are not going till you have
something to eat. Not a word Ill"
Why did his eye wander to the near
est window, and his words trail away
into silence?
Reuther turned about to see. Oliver
was in front. conversing earnestly
with Mr.. Sloan. AS they looked. he
dashed back into the rear of the
house, and they heard his voice rise
once or twice in some Intellectual COM
mands to his deaf servant, then there
came clatter and a rush from the
direction of the stable, and they saw
him flash by on a gaunt but fiery
horse, and take with long bounds the
road up which they had just labored.
He had stopped to equip himself in
some measure for his ride. but not the
horse, which was without saddle or
any sort of bride but a halter strung
about his neck.
This was fight; or so it appeared to
Mr.. Sloan, as he watched the yount

hill What Mr. Black thought was not
so apparent. He had no wish to dis

She was on the verge of fainting

And then Alanson Black showed of
what stuff he was made. In ten min
utes he had hustled about the half-de-
serted building, and with the aid of
the dazed and uncomprehending deaf
mute. managed to prepare cup of hot
tea and a plate of steaming eggs for
the weary girl.
After such an effort, Reuther felt
obliged to eat, and she did; seeing
which, the lawyer left her for a mo-
ment and went out to question their
guide.

This from Mr.. Sloan.
Eating something. Come in and
have bite, and let the horses eat,
too. The young fellow went off pretty
quick, eh?''
"Ya-as" The drawl was one of
doubt. But quickness don't count

Il Was a Mouse.

If there's anything that will make
woman throw good ~esolutions to the
wind quicker than she made them. 1t
is a mouse. A young woman arrived
at one of the New York hotels and
before retiring at night she decided to
straighten up the things in the closet
of her room. She was singing over
her work and was doing nicely until
she discovered two shining little beads
in one corner and decided there must
be a lost hatpin there. So she reached
out to take it. What her hand met
was soft and covered with hair. 1t
was a mouse. The yell that emanated
from that room convinced everybody
tangoing several floors above that
cruel murder was afoot, and there was
a scramble to the Railways. The young
woman finally succeeded in opening
the door of her room and inform ed
the gathering crowd what narrow
escape she had from humiliation. Now
there is standing reward of IS for
the head of that mouse-detached
from the rest of the mouse. If it
ever appears again, there's no telling
what may happen.
