PROLOGUE.

A story with the refreshing
breath of the great outdoors is
this. The romance and glamour
of the wide, vide vest of days
past are reflected in every chap
ter. Lahoma, saved from a pio-
lent death by what is really a
modern miracle, becomes a vital
factor in the wild, rough lives of
pioneers of the plains. Indian
strategy and Indian loyalty to
true friends play no small part
in this interesting narrative. The
story demonstrates above all else
the facts that honest simplicity
in character and thorough sin
certify in dealing with ones fel-
low men are pirtues certain to
bring a n1erited reward. The
rapid action Of the novel and the
vivid word painting of the char
ocfers in it will make it one of
unusual dtfractipeness to discern
ing readers.

be out of that door like SO many devils
turned loose on us. Ride, pardner,
ride, and save the kid for Gods sake!
Now off we got"
He gave GledWare's pony Il vicious
cut with his lariat and drove the spurs
into his own broncho. The thunder Of
boots as they plunged in different direc-
lions caused a sudden commotion
within the isolated cabin. The door
was flung open, and in the light that
streamed forth Wilcox, looking back,
saw forms rush out, gather about the
PROSTATE forms Of the two brothers,
move here and there in indecision,
then by common impulse burst into a
swinging run for the horses.
AS for GledWare, he once turn
ed his face. Urging on his horse at
utmost speed and clasping the child to
his breast, he raced toward the light.
The shadow of horse, man and child,
at first long and black, lcssened to a
mere speck, then vanished with the
rider beyond the circle of the level
world.
Brick Wilcox, galloping toward the
southwest, frequently looked back. He
saw the desperadoes leap upon their
horses, wheel about in short circles
that brought the animals upright, then
spring forward in pursuit. He heard
the shouting, which, though far away,
sounded the unmistakable accent Of
ungovernable fury.
The little girl and her stepfather had
sanished from the smooth, open page
of the Texas Panhandle, and Brick
Wilcox rejoiced with a joy new to
him that these escaped prisoners had
not been pursued. 1t was himself that
the band meant to subject to their saw
age vengeance and himself alone, as
he well knew.
AS their bullets pursued him Wilcox
lay along the body of the broncho, feel
ing his steed very small and himself
very large, and yet, despite the rain Of
lead, his pleasure over the escape of
the child warmed his heart.
He had selected for himself and for
Gledware ponies that had often been
run against each other and which no
others of all Red Kimball's corral could
surpass in speed. Gledware and the
child were on the pony that Kimball
had once staked against the swifteSt
animal the Indians could produce. AMI

Now, however, his bullet had gone
astray. The few words to which he
had treated himself as an introduction
to the intended deed had proved his
undoing. They had been enough to
warn Wilcox of what was coming,
and before Red fired Wilcox had sent a
bullet through the threatening wrist.
The two detonations We're almost ST.

a man, it was no wonder that the child,
awakened by the firing, screamed with
terror at finding her head pressed to
his bosom.
Come" Wilcox called breathlessly
to the prisoner who still stood with
his back to the moon, as if horror at
what he had just witnessed rendered
him as helpless as he had been from
sheer terror.
Henry Gledware, awakened as from
Il trance, bounded to his side. Wilcox
helped him to mount, then placed the
child on the saddle in front Of him.

your life! They amt no other chance

He leaped upon the second pony

Left HANDED Men Not Defective.
AS left handedness is an inherited,

eracy, says the Journal Of Heredity.
Bardeieben is quoted in German peri

That a few great men. such as
Leonardo da Einci. were left handed
does not neutralize the prevalent be-
lief in all ages that left h%andcfneSs
implies a ~substandard subject. III .
percentage Of left handed recruits is
but 6.S; Of school children somewhat
higher These figures are very decep-
tive, however, for Of the left handed
children who become right handed the
percentage is some 26. This, added to
the persistently left handed. raises the
original percentage Of left handed con-
~siderably."

CHICAGO, Jan. S.--May wheat sold
at $1.40h per bushel on the board of
trade for a minute today, the highest
price paid for this month in recent
years, and the highest price with four
exceptions since the civil war. A drop
of nearly one cent followed on a flood
of selling orders.
Traders maintained that the market
was a legitimate one, due to the ne
cessity of foreigners for grain, and the
demand of millers in the United States
for the cash article. Europe is prac-
tically shut off from all wheat produc.
ing countries except the United States
and the demand will be an increasing
one until May deliveries, the traders
say.
Europe just has to have wheat, and
that is all there is to it," said one
trader. They are buying up all of our
cash wheat they can. and have turned
to May wheat in the last few days.
They are buying for delivery and will
demand delivery when deliveries are
in order"
Only One Chance.
The only chance for break in price
will be the opening of the Dardanelles,
the traders say, as Russia has mil
lions and millions of bushels of wheat
which can not be shipped out of the
country. ...-

S1.4O WHEAT SETS RECORD
ON CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Advices from the southwest of heavy
purchases of cash wheat by millers
was, however. the principal cause of
the rally which brought May wheat
to the $1.4O level. Several thousand
bushels of No. hard was sold to
millers in Kansas City at price equal
to $1.42A here, when the freight
charges are considered. Texas millers
also entered the cash market with
heavy purchases.
Advices from Minneapolis and Tope-
ka were that Millers there are unable
to get cash wheat, were buying May
and were prepared to demand deliv-
cries.
Throughout the west and northwest,
up to Winnipeg where May wheat was
selling at $1.38, stocks have begun run
ming low between the heavy sales to
millers and the tendency of farmers
to hold their grain for still higher
prices. Kansas City wheat stocks have
decreased 100000 bushels in the last
four days, and Minneapolis receipts
showed a decrease of 100000 bushels
for the week.
While the Chicago traders took prof
it on May wheat at $140, the Armour
Grain company and other big concerns
suddenly began buying oats. This
caused slump in wheat, but 1t was
Of momentary effect only.
