eanor put out a OBTAINING hand, for
the bag contained some money and
valuable jewelry.
The squaw produced a keen-bladed
knife and showed her teeth. Then
she quickly uncoiled a short lariat
from her waist. Eleanor read her
purpose, to bind her hand and foot
and leaving her helpless while she fed
safely with her spoils.
Eleanor sought to defend herself.
She stopped suddenly, seized a heavy
stick lying in the path swung it
around and swept her dispoiler off
her feet. With an angry snarl the
squaw regained her feet, but Eleanor
fed precipitately. She fancied she
heard a masculine voice shouting out
after her, but she feared an accom-
plice of the squaw and terror lent
f1eetness to her actions.
Eleanor deviated from the gully,
seeking shelter in rushing up a side
path. At the top she paused breath
less. A view of the spot where she
had been robbed was now shut out
from her view. Eleanor made out
cabin. it's door open. She rushed
through the aperture and sank to
chair in a rudely furnished room,
nearly at the point of fainting.
Her eyes opened wide as, wander
ing about the room, they fell upon a
picture on stand. 1t was her own.
Near to it was tiny vase and in
this, as if replaced fresh every morn
;. y a mountain daisy, her favor
tie flower.
She recalled having her picture
taken the year before in this very
district by a travelling photographer.
Was this one printed from the same
negative? Lost in anger, half-guess-
ing the truth, she started up as a
stalWart form crossed the threshold.

ton of dishonesty made by her ia
e ther. She had regarded Brill as the
soul of honor. More than once in
gay, frivolous social circles she had
compared her flippant admirers with
this model young westerner, and not
to his disadvantage.
That evening Eleanor made inqui-
ries at tourist hotel as to Brill He
was remembered, but had dropped
out of sight months since, she was
informed.
There was great friend of his
named Savage" advised the landlady
81 think he is clerk or something at
the mail station"
There Eleanor went the next morn
ing. 1t was to locate this Savage, a
young man, cripple, whose eyes
frightened and whose face glowed at
the mention of a name evidently
cherished.
"Mr. Brill is across the range some
where near Inca" he said, and then
he burst forth into extravagant eulo-
gies concernind the man he desig-
mated as his best friend. 1t appeared
that Brill had saved his life in a great
freshet disaster and had secured him
his present position.
The landlady, when Eleanor began
to make inquiries regarding the route
over the range, seriously advised her
not to make the journey alone.
"You should not attempt it, I'M
protected" she warned Eleanor
"The country is wild and infested
with vicious half-breeds and even
outlaws" but Eleanor was fearless
and willful. She equipped herself in
stanch walking trim, and noon saw
her passing down lonely mountain
gully and recognizing marks in the
landscape described to her which in

NOT DRUNK EITHER

A good story is told at Spring
field, ILL.,, on John G. Wooley, who
was twice the Prohibition candi-
date for president of the United
States.
He was billed for a lecture
there, last Wednesday night, un-
der the auspices of lyceum bur-
eau. He arrived in the city a few
hours before time for the lecture
and put up at the Silas hotel,
where he lay down to take nap.
A large crowd went to the state
arsenal to hear him. They waited
for hours but Wooley did not ar
rive, and there was no explana-
ton of his failure to appear.
The following day he explained
that he lay down after dinner to
take nap and did not awaken
until midnight. Query: Did some
one dope Wooley?

Points About a Coed Horae.

There are some points which arr
valuable in horses Of every descrip-
ton. The head should be pro.
portionately large and well set on.
The lower jawbones should be suf-
ticiently far apart to enable the
head to form an angle with the
neck, which gives it free motion
and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, a
little prominent, and the eyelids
line and thin. The ear should be
small and erect and quick in mo-
ton. The lop car indicates dull
ness and stubbornness. When too
far back there is a disposition to
mischief.
