As the Giant Moose Charged So One Story Runs There
Came Shot from the Girl the Ledge, and
the Mad Beast Crumpled Before 1t Could
Gore and TrampIe the PROSTATE Man.

The big bull had changed its position, had
gotten to the windward of them, and the
Indian guide, fearing to lose it, had sent
a bullet into it. He had only wounded
it, however, and Immediately after the
rifles report the pair heard a tearing of
the underbrush, and ahead of them, only
a few hundred feet away, they saw the
brute come charging straight at them. He
seemed too close to risk stopping him with
a bullet. Instinctively Talbot lifted Peg
gy and thrust her up on a ledge of rock
behind them.
He leaped to join her, but foot slipped
on a patch of wet leaves and he fell
directly in line of the charging moose's
hoofs. The beast reared up to crush him
with those knife-edged hoofs. There was
the crack of a rifle from the ledge and
the moose crumpled with bullet through
his heart just as those deadly feet were
about to strike.
1t was Peggy on the ledge who had sent
that bullet.
That was the story. 1t is certain fact
that she did bring out the head of

the only one to be shot that year by a
woman.
The natural denouement of such an adj
venture would be wedding ring, or that
is what every one who heard the story
thought. But Peggy only looked mysteri-
Gus and said nothing. A wedding did
come out of the trip nevertheless. Brother
Frederick and sister Laura were married

ida, to California, to Newport, Mr.. Talbot

grimly stalked Peggy and as grimly so did
Mr.. Evans.
Certainly Mr.. Talbot was as depressed
when Peggy started off for Africa to
shoot lions and tigers with a party includ-
ing Tom Evans and not himself, as Mr..
Evans had been when that party of four
had gone into the Canadian woods without
him. Fashionable society nodded its head
sagely and opined that Mr.. Talbot had
gone the way of the others and that Mr..
Evans had won at last. What else was
one to think? Certainly Talbot had all
and the money, and unquestionably the
inclination. Why didn't he go then?
About the only reason any one could haz-
ard was that Peggy hadn't wanted him.
And it may be that she didn't. 1t may
be that, unable to make up her mind, she
had wanted to see how Evans would carry
himself in the wilderness in which she was
so much at home, and which she loved
better than anything else. Would Evans
think only of her as Talbot had done
when danger threatened both of them?
Would he risk his life for her?
Alas, he never had the chance to show
her. When they reached Cairo Peggy
came down with typhoid fever, and for
a time it seemed as though her hunting
days were over for good and all. For two
months she lay in the Anglo-American
Hospital, and after she came out, we'll
something had happened.
What had happened was that she had
definitely made up her mind about whom
she was going to marry.
And it was not Tom, but-Harold.

down on the scheme and hustled her rest
less daughter off to, Palm Beach, Mr..
Evans hopefully trotted along. But Har-
old Vanderbilt was down there then, and
very soon it looked as though Peggy was
going to be Mrs. Harold Vanderbilt. But
Mr.. Vanderbilt couldn't qualify. His edu-
cation in firearms extended only to pot
Shooting floating barrels and other such
odds and ends when he sailed his own
Yacht in the service of Uncle Sam during
the World War, and about the nearest he
had come to intimate acquaintanceship
with animals outside of the Zoo was in the
stables of his own thoroughbreds.
So the expected lily of romance between
Harold and Peggy soon withered and died.
Cheerfully Mr.. Evans resumed his suit.
But then young William Rhinelander
Stewart, Jr., another gilded son of fash
ion, doomed upon the scene. But as soon
as Peggy found out that he didn't really
care for bronchos and got about all the
enjoyment of the great outdoors his soul
craved from the piazza of a Newport
Summer home, his name was marked off.
And again Mr.. Evans rejoiced and stood
at Peggy's right hand hopefully.

yuTHEN the engagement of Peggy
w Thayer of Philadelphia to Harold
w E. Talbot of Dayton, Ohio, and
New York, was announced recently fash
onable society in New York, Newport and
Philadelphia was every bit as much sur
prised as it was interested. Once, indeed,
fashionable society had expected Peggy to
marry Mr.. Talbot But that was more
than two years ago, after hunting trip
in Canada with her brother and Mr.. Tai
bolts sister.
That trip produced one romance, for
not long after young Mr.. Thayer and Miss
Talbot had married. And there had been
stories of perils met together, in which
Peggy and Talbot had saved each others
lives. Months passed by, however, with
out any announcement. Then, about
year ago, Peggy and her mother went to
Africa. With them was Thomas Evans
of Philadelphia, rich, and sportsman
even as is Talbot.
Peggy, it was said, was going to Africa
for her trousseau, or at least the trim
mings for it. Just about that time the
Paris fashion-makers had launched the
idea of having wedding gowns and going
away dresses adorned with the skins of
wild beasts. Peggy, true to her adven-
turous instincts, had decided to go into
the jungle and shoot her own.
"This settles it at last" said all her
friends. peggy will either come back
Mrs. Tom Evans or marry him right after
they come back"
Now if Peggy had gotten as far as the
Jungle that might have happened. And
it was undoubtedly the hardest kind of
luck for Mr.. Evans, who had been in love
with her ever since they had been chill
dren together that she didn't. But she
got no farther into Africa than King Tut's
tomb, and there contracted typhoid fever.
So instead of the trousseau trimmings, she
was glad to come back with her life.
Then came the surprising announcement
that poor Tom Evans was definitely out
of the running and that Mr.. Talbot was
the lucky man. And, as has been said,
folks minds went back to that mysterious
hunting trip up in Canada.
But if Mr.. Talbot thinks that his cap
ture of Peggy Thayer's heart means that
he is going to settle down to a quiet,
orderly married life he is apt to find him.
self mistaken, for what makes that cap
ture so interesting is that his bride, be-
sides being one of the loveliest and most
charming and versatile of fashionable
young women, is also one of the most adj
venturous and restless.
Peggy had been brought up by her
father, John A. Thayer, once the vice
president of the mighty Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and the right-hand man of the late
Alexander ]. Cassatt, its president, in
many respects like a boy. 1t was John
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-16

in the man that gave him that interest in
nature she had learned to love from her
father and that marked him apart from
so many of the men she had been used to.
Adventurous as she, he had found Dayton
a trife slow and had come to the East
with his millions, where he won a name
as a crack polo player.
At any rate, Peggy liked him, and to-
gether with her brother Frederick and Mr..
Talbott's sister Laura and Mr.. Talbot she
made up a party that trekked into the
Canadian woods behind Indian guides.
. There was mystery in that trip-or so
it was whispered about after the little
party of four had come out of the woods.
There were many stories, all of them
agreeing on the one point, that two of the
quartette had faced a great peril during
the hunt Why it should have been made
a mystery is difficult to understand
since all the stories reflected only hero
ism.
The most circumstantial version was
that one of the guides had located giant
moose and that Peggy and Talbot had
started out after it. They were working
their way cautiously to its cover and
against the wind so that the animal might
not get scent of them.
Suddenly there was shot close by.

great railroad govern
ment In the woods the
two lived the lives of pioneers, and there
she was taught to shoot straight, superb
woodcraft, and, above all, superb cour-
age and self-reliance.
It was early in her adventures that she
won the Cowgirl trophy in the rough
and ready sports of Frontier Day at jack
sons Hole out in Wyoming. Here were
the diversions of the old West-bucking
bronchos, rough riding, steer throwing,
shooting. A prize had been offered for
the girl who stayed longest on selected I'M
broken horses of peculiar cantankerous-
ness, There were a dozen or so rivals, all
of them, except one, daughters of cattle
men and bred in the saddle. The I'M
known, in regulation cowgirl outfit, was
Peggy Thayer, although none there knew
it. And Peggy, on the toughest broncho
of the lot. outsat and outplayed all the
others and galloped away with the prize.
The local papers commented rather Bit
terly that "an Eastern girl named Peggy
Thayer" should have beaten the daughters
of the West.
1t was Peggy, too, who, firing of social
, rounds, hung up a sign on exclusive Rit-
tenhouse Square in Philadelphia-"Per-
fumes to Match the Personality" There
she sold perfumes and-cheese.
"What's funny about selling cheese and
perfumes together" she asked. Good
perfumes and good cheeses are both epicu-
rean tastes"
Society flocked to Peggys perfume and
cheese-shop until she tired of it and went
on to something else.
Soon Peggy's energy found vent in
leading a chorus of Philadelphia society
buds in an amateur play, where her per-
Torrance came under the critical eyes of
Charles Dillingham;, the well-known New
York theatrical manager, and he sent her
a contract, promising to put her name in
electric lights as head of her own company
on Broadway if she would sign it. AL
though Mr.. Dillingham; had nothing but an
eye to his own business when he made the
offer, it had quite a bearing on Peggy's
future life.
All this time young Mr.. Evans had been
faithfully squirting Peggy and hoping. He
didn't like the idea of Peggy going on
the stage any more than Mrs. Thayer did.
So when Peggy's mother put her foot

HIGHLAND DRUGGIST
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
TOOK HUGE DOSE OF POISON
BY MISTAKE WHILE ON Wis
1T TO AMERICUS.

Dr. J. B. West, well-known drug
gist with Little's pharmacy at Rich
land, had very narrow escape from
an overdose of poison taken through
mistake at an Americas drug store
while on recent visit to that city.
DR.. West and a number of others
from Richland had been spending the
evening at Myrtle Springs, and drove
into Americas for supper. After eating
heartily he complained OF severe
headache and went into drug store
to get something to ease the pain. He
called for certain tablet of spartine,
but the druggist misunderstood him
and gave him atrophine instead.
Soon after taking the dose DR.. West
discovered that a mistake had been
made, and upon investigation found
that he had taken an enormous guam
tity Of a most poisonous drug. A ply
sician was hurriedly summoned and
emergency reliefs applied until he
could be taken to hospital, where a
stomach pump was used DIR. West
became delirious, and his condition
was critical for some time. He is now
on the road to recovery.
1t is said that the dose taken was
sufficient to kill ten men.
DR.. West is well-known and highly
esteemed by a wide circle of friends
in Dawson, where he has often taken
part in public concerts with the Daw-
son band, and his improved condition
will be gratifying to all.

When preparing breakfast Mrs
Rogers poured what she thought was

1t was several hours before they were
pronounced out of danger.
Mr. Rogers father, who is over 90
years old, and young Tom Rogers
were very i'll and it was thought for d
while that the poison would prove ia

the family, spent the night there and
he was also poisoned.
