the roan was beginNing to slacken his efforts. His gallop was losing its elasticity, and his fore hoofs struck the earth with lifeless beat which meant a very great deal to the rider. He recalled the sheriff a lean and sun withered man who might well be fifty pounds lighter than himself. Perhaps 1t was his weight which vas killing the roan. Perhaps it was the great speed with which he had covered the first two miles out from the town. No doubt, both causes combined. But he pres ently was sure that he had killed the speed of the mount.
 He drew to walk and dropped out of the saddle. The instant he struck the ground he saw how much worse matters were than he had dreamed. He had to draw the roan along by the reins. The poor animal dragged back on the bit with dull eyes and fiagging ears, and his hoofs troiled in the dust; and he got his wind back with amazing slowness.
 For a blown horse Is not like blown man. Many good athlete runs himself to faint in a half mile race, lies ten minutes flat on his back, consciously relaxing every muscle, and then arises to run a mile event and win it. But when the ribs of a horse begin to heave in a certain manner. his Hanks bal looming in and out, and when his head begins to jerk down at every stride, rest of few minutes does him little good.
 Gloster continued walking until dull and untitled pounding was plainly audible behind him, and he knew that the pursuers were gain ing fast. Then he brought the roan to trot and went forward at smart clip, with the gelding beside, him. Perhaps he covered a mile in this fashion, but by that time the noise from the rear was very dis tinct and he dared not finger any more.
 In the meanwhile, although the roan was by no means recovered from the effects of that heavy weight in the saddle and the ter rife pace of the first two miles, at least it was no longer pulling back on the bridlc: and when Gloster. somewhat winded by his efforts on foot, climbed into the saddle again. the horse went off at trot.
 An arroyo crossed his way. Clos ter dropped into it with sigh or relief and raised the gelding to a gallop again. 4 moment later the dry ravine was filled with clamor- ing as the whole posse swung in behind him, and, with the good footing beneath them, they gained upon him at an appalling rate.
 They were sweeping around a curve just behind and in ten sec onds they would have full view of mn. Ana NleW by The clear star light would be almost as. good Ss a view in the day. Certainly they would open with their guns, and his own thigh was weighted by no re- volver, to say nothing of rife un- der his leg.
 He swung out of the saddle, bal anced his weight on one stirrup for an instant, and then dropped to the ground. The tired gelding would have dropped back to a tfot at once. Gloster scooped out a handful Of pebbles, sent the horse flying on with the force Of them, and then threw himself back against the wall of the ravine.

 The result of these accidents for 1925, aside from the property dam age involved. were fourteen persons killed and thirty injured. an increase of two deaths and decrease of six teen persons injured as compared with the record for the first half of 1924. On the other hand, the discontinuance or eurtailment of local passenger ser vice on many of the branch lines of the railroad as result of motor bus competition, has reduced the hazard at many grade crossings, some of which have been rendered practically harmless by the complete withdrawal of trains from certain lines.
 The motor vehicle department re- ceives regular reports from the rail- road company on observations made at dangerous grade crossings every Saturday and Sunday and on holi- days. These show that larger per- centage of drivers are careful to look in either direction before att
