Mrs. Mpson looked at the round , eager face ,
and elghcd. "Phyllis , love 1 don't want to
cross jou , but what use can a girl of 12 bo
In a ehccp camp ? And think of the danger
and discomfort. "
The red new to Phyllis' brow , and her big
eyes filled with tears. "Don't Uuddy have
to face Hit ? danger and discomfort , Mamscy ? "
she queried gently. " 1 want to go along to
make him more comfortable , and take care
of him. " ,
"You brave little soul , " whispered her
mother , kissing her , "I haven't the heart to
disappoint you though 1 do think Howard
should not have offered to take you. "
Phyllis , accepting this as capitulation , gave
her mother an enthusiastic hug and tan off
to hunt up 'Buddy and tell him the great
news. Shu was to go with him ! She , Phyl
lis , was at last to bo allowed to accompany
thin only and dearly beloved brother down
Into the Pccoa country , where he went to
"drift" his sheep.
lira. Mason was a widow and Howard , or
Duddy , as Phyllis alwa > s celled him , the
oldest son , was the support and head of the
household.
It WES In the eirly 80s , and sheep had Just
been brought Into west Texas. Much money
wan being marto by the pioneers In the busl-
tiCBH , and ambitious yoiing Howard Mason
had been among the first to buy a bunch.
I1 Is a little hard to understand now the
oxtrcmo bitterness that the cattlemen of Ihe
lection felt against the Introducers of sheep.
As nur an explanation as one can glvo Is
that the cn'tlemen were obliged to own or
lease laigo bodies of land , to drive wullo
and build tanka , for cattle must have water.

and drove or "drifted" them wherever they
pleased , slnco iihccn will llvo on pasture that
will starve cat'lc. The sheep , too , could win
ter down In the sheltered dra\\s and canyons
of the Pecos or Devils river country , the
flocks going for weekw without water , and liv

The cattlemen claimed that the sheep I
spoiled the posture ; that the cattle would
not graze over the ground where they hod
been , and that , therefore , they were rulnln-
the country , were at the bottom of all the
troubles of the cattle trade , and must be
driven out
Phyllis and her mother naturally he-ird
less of this talk than would have reached
them If Howard had not been In the shop
business. Nobody was likely to speak a out
it , and they thought , as did Howard whe
ho bought his sheep , that the blUcrcst of tnc
feud was ovur.
So Phyllis , much happier than any queen
rode away with Uuddv one crisp Orto'c

Phyllis was eo angry that she scarcely
thought of fear ; but Howard looked at her
with troubled eyes. "That Is what I was

Phyllis was tfpcii'ni ; In the tent ; Howard ,
wrapped In hs ! blanket , by the camp fire.
The camp , wearied by Its day's labors , was
apt to be sound asleep by 8 o'clock
About 10 , as Phyllis guessed , they cre
aroused by repeated rhots In the direction of
the nock. "I can't stand this , " cried Howard ,
leaping to his feet. "Phyllis , I tcti'tl You
stay In the tent , " and he dashed off In the
darkness toward the sheep.
Left alone , Phyllis could think of nothing
to do but to pile dry sotol stalks on the fire.
Thcso Inirn like yltch pine and she soon had
a 1)1 ) ave beacon.
H was well she had , for poor Howard could
scarcely have found his way back without
Accidentally , or Intentionally the Masons
novcr knew which the party of cowboys who
were firing Into the sheep shot him. As he
cried out and fell lie heard one man call lo
another. In the dark , "Say , Shorty , you've
winged the feller that owns these here sheep , "
and another voice reply , "I litoe lo the Lord
I've killed him. Bet yo thut'd stop his sheep
drlftln' . "
As they galloped nway Howard tried to
call after them. It seemed to him Impos
sible that human beings should leave a fellow
creature wounded , helpless as ho was , and
Hfty miles from any succor. But his voice
'lied In his throat ; he fainted , and when iio
came once moro to consciousness he was
alone. * .is first thought as of Phyllis , lie

campilro flaring away so tl.-U he thought for
one terrible moment that the mlrfcreante who
Md shot him had fired the camn. Then ,
acr < ss the levels , ho saw the tent and his
sister beside It. He must get to It. The
hurt was In his shoulder ; he was only fa'cit
ind after ten minutes of rcs > lutc trying ho
did dually stagger Into ; amp. only to faint
again and full almost at Phyllis' feet.

Trot Wfle a terrible night for the little girl
and one which ehe will never forget , even
( Mould she live to be very old and have many
xdvcnturcs.
Howard was always delirious whoti 111 ami

there.
Yet , though she shuddered , sick with fear
awl apprehension" , Phyllis nevi-r faltered.
\Vlth cold shaking" fingers she cut her
brother's ehlrt iawny from his wounded
shoulder , soothing him as best she could ,
laving and cleansing the hurt with the
precious water which she needs must uat >
freely , but not ono drop of which must be
wasted. Ho wps very thlisty as his fever
came up , and by thotlmo dawn released poor
Phyllis from her most pressing tenor It
confronted hey with another. At the rate
they had been lining , the water would not
hold out moro than tjirca days longer ; be-
hides , uhe could not go out and slabh sotol ,
and without It the sheep , too , would soon
suffer. *
"I'.yo got to move Jhls camp , shrep and

of her utterly undivided responsibility.Ve

Howard lay 'sleuplug soundly upon his
blanket ; the fever l.ad left him so weak that
he could scarcely whisper. No help , ml

through the Ircn eye which was let Into the
enl of each pole , and around the saddle girth.
She started the pony with fear and trem
tiling , cud lie did look uneasily around at the
strange wreckage trailing behind him ; but
cnco convinced by Phyllis' voice and hand ,
whim he knew and loved , that It was all
rlitfit , he trotted along complacently.
The free ends of the poles 'trailed over
the level ground , and the hammock rocked
gently. Phyllis walked between Huckshot
and Chiqulto , with a hand on the bridle ol
each , and to ImmpereJ fho attempted , but
with little success , to drlvo the bsud ot
sheep , which she had already bunched , be-
tore her.
Finally the mounted to her saddle , which
she had put on Buckshot , riding him and
Chlqulto , and matters went somewhat bet
ter. Progress , however , was slow , and she
found that she could not In tlws way reach
the place In wiilch slio hoped to make camp
by noon. There had been a little seep hrle
back at the old tamp , water not fit to drink
ror cook with , nor enough for the sheup ,
but It had served for the ponies ; and news
s ic must press on and reach the Three
Cottouwoods on the edge of ( Antelope divide
or the animals would bo giving out from
thirst.
So hhe passed the tlieep and left them
intending to return when slip had established
L'uddy comfortably under the shade of the
cottonwoods. However nobody can com. '
upon what sheep will do. No sooner hat
the cavalcade paused the Hock than one ol
tie leaders , full of curiosity , tobscd up Iris
head , and trotted after It , and noon the whole
bunch was moving contentedly along , follow
ing Phyllis and her strange hoiibehold as
though she had been a bellwether.
This continued till so close to camp that
when weariness finally overcome sheepish
curiosity , and they stopped to graze , Phyllis
decided to push on and leave them.
IV.
The water of the Three Cottonwoods
spring was poor and brackish enough She
daicd not let her Invalid drink It. except
boiled Into -a weak coffee , Phyllis had had
ambitious plans of pushing on In thu cool
ot the evening and trying to better he1" loca
tion. IShe hoped , too , to save the water in
; ho keg for the long stretch between the
Cottonwoods and Trembllnir where sha fsarnrl
she would have to camp twice wlllnut water
But these were things she found impossi
ble. She must go right back to gather and
drlvo up her sheep.
The spirit of perversity seemed to have
entered Into and possessed these wcrthies
entirely. Or perhaps they wero'only ' thirsts
and tired , as Indeed they had an excellent-
right to be. Phyllis co-axed , scolded , threw
11U1 clods , and rode , and rode , while every
muscle and nerve tingled with weariness.
Yet shn was well and promptly ropald , for
when she rode , dusty , yet cucces-fnl , Into
ramp , she founl Howard , weak and dazed ,
but perfectly collected , sitting up and tiylng
to eat a 'bit ' of th.o lunch she had left care
fully coveied beside him.
Phyllis eagerly told him all abrut the hap
penings , of which he had but the most hazy
roc/lleetlon and ho promptly drf v mi" "on
clutlon which filled his little sister's heart
with Jojous pride.ou see , I'M. i . . sji ,
"thoso fellows didn't know I had any one
with inn , that's plain And If I hadn't had a
gill along who was as good as a man. I'd
hnvo died a horrible lingering death from
thirst and starvation , for I'd never have
gotten wpll enough to catch and mount m >
hoisc , or may he to know enough to try to. "
With Howard able to talk and counsel , the
rest ot the drive appeared easy to Phyllis ;
but It was fur from proving so.
Her brother remained miserably weak and
111 , and In spite of himself was forced to
travel In the contrivance which ho had at
flrt.t laughed at as a chaiacteili-tlc "Phyllis
Invention "
The long , hot days , the discomfort , the un
suitable fond , the pain of his hurt , were all
tclllni ; on him , and Phyllis strove desperately
to hurry the drives. Yet they could go no
faster than the sheep could travel , and work
as she might at the driving , that was
slowlj.
When they reached the head of Trembling
after a week's desperate work on Phyllis'
part and much worry on "that of Howard
they were at the lart stage of cxlntistlon
themselves , ponies , sheep and worst of all
provisions
"Now , " s.-ld Howard wistfully , when he
had been refreshed by such. ' 'a ' supper as
Phyllis could contrive out-of thu laet bits of
bacon and meal eho hadr-coffee there was
none "now. If mntl.er only Knc'v we wore
he 11 and In tl'ls fix. Manunl would bo out
with the wagon , and Jose to'Ucep the shppp ,
by sun-up , and wo would ba homo In time for
supper. "
"Let's , play It's going to ba that way , " an
swered Phyllld , berlous'y. ' "What would you
want him to bring jou particularly , If he
came ? "
'Somo smothered chicken , I guess , " began
Howard , "and real bread and butter , Juat
onn of mother's nloo lunches and say , don't
lolk about It ; I cjn't stand It , with no break-
fust of any sutL In B.lg ht , Phyllis. "
"Never miml , " comfoitcd the little Bister
"I just bollovu he will come. I made a wlbh
to thu now moon , and I think "
Howa'd laughed uncertainly. "Go to slesp ,
llttlo girl , and get all the strength you can ,
for you'll ni'od It tomonow. I don't wa any
way to do but to move this outfit as fr as

on It ; und wo can't giazo wlUi-tho sheep and
ponlfK. We won't uoine , toifcr only to break
down , but the next day or two Is a hard
lookout , "
When Howard waked In the morning Phyl
lis was nowhere to bo fceen. This , however
wan not unusual , so he uompossd himself
comfortably for anothe- nip , Ho waked
again when the sun was high lij the hpsvena ,
and finding hit comrade still absent , W'.H be
ginning to feel a llttlo Injured , when he saw
pinned to Ills sleeve 4 notu In Phyllis' own
peculiar spelling.
Ho had scuicely read It when Manuel and
Joto , In the wsgon , accompanied by the one
doctor the llttlo frontier town boasted , came
over the divide between him and home , and
rattled down Into the draw , with many
halloa and gtci-tlngu
Houarii'B eyes were full of team , as he

Mark Twain wns dined recently by the
Vienna Press club. Ho made n speech
Ihero. Here Is the Ncucs Wiener Tagp-
blatt's account of the affair.
It Is seldom that a foreign author his
found such n hearty reception In Vienna as
that accorded to Mark Twain , who not only
Ims the reputation of being the beat humor
ist In the whole civilized world , but one
wlioao personality arouses everywhere a pe
culiar Interest on < account of the genuine
American character .which sways It.
Mark Twain , Or iMr. Clemens , IB ho , ! E
called In private-Ufa , has now been BOjourn-
ing In our city fet moro than a fortnight ,
and those who have had the opportunity of
Intimate association with him leara coon
that the "grand American" Is a highly ami
able and plain 'aorti of a fellow , from whom
nothing Is so far ai affectation , and a dc-
slro to appear Interesting.
This was also the linpreselon of the large
gathering of scriida who met the renowned
colleague from the ! far west of the United
States on last Sunday. The Concordla was
filled with a Jovial host of Vienna writers
and Journalists. , It was par excellence a
"Festcknelpe. " frdui which the leading
merchants of thei city were not absent
There were alaa present In response to the
Invitation of the Concordla the two directors
of the Imperial tlicater , Dr. lliirckhard
and Hcrr Mahler ; Imperial Counsel Dr
Wlassack , Director Qettke , Adolf Sonncn-
thnl , Lewinsky , Glr&rdl , Alfred Gruenfeld ,
Van Dyk , Municipal Counsel Dr. Uadlor ,
Director of the Vienna City Library Glossy ,
the correspondent of the Times , Mr. Livl-
no , besides numerous foreign correspond
ents , principally reprcsentlnig Ajncrloin
papers.
At D o'clock Mark Twain appeared In the
salon , and amid a storm of oplalise took

his delight at the presenceot the popular
Ameilcuii. Then followed the greatest at
traction of the evening , an Impromptu
tpeech by Mark Twain In the German lan
guage , which It Is true he Jus not fully
mastered , but which ho nevertheless con
trols sufficiently well to make It dinicult to
detect any harsh foreign accent. Ho had cn-
Mtled his speech : "Die Schrackon der
Douttchen Spracho" the horrors of the
German language. At times he would Inter
rupt nlmeelf in English , -uiJ ask , with a stut
tering Millie , "How do jcu call this word
In German ? " or , I only know that In mother
tongue. " The festknelpti lasted far beyond
the wee &na' : hours.
"It has me deeply touched , my gentlemen ,

leagues out of my own profession , In this

heart is full of gratitude , but my poverty

Is the dream of my life been. 1 have already
visits by the various German governments
pnld and for contracts prajecl. 1 am now to
Austria In the same task come. I would
only some changes effect. I would only the
language method the luxurious , elaborate
construction comprcsi. The eternal parcn-
thejls suppress , do away with , annihilate ;
the Introduction ot more than thirteen sub
jects In. one sentence forbid ; the verb so far
to the front pull that one It without a tel
escope discover can. I would your beloved
language simplify so that , my gentlemen ,
when you her for prayer need one- yonder
up understands ,
"I beseech you , from mo yourself counsel
to let , execute these mentioned reforms.
Then will you an elegant language possess ,
and afterward when you roniethliiR say
will , will you at least yourself understand
what jou said had. But often nowadays ,
when you ft mile- long sentence from you
given and you yourself somewhat have
rested , then must you a touching Inqulslt-
Ivcness-hav'e yourself .to determine what you
actually spakcn have. Before several days
has the correspondent of n local paper
a sentence constructed which hundred and
twelve words contain , nnl therein were
seven parentheses , smuggled In , and the
subject seven times changed. Think you
only , my gentlemen , In the course , of the
voyage of a single sentence must the poor.
Tcrsi'cuted , fatigued subject seven times
change position.
"Now , when wo the mentioned reforms ex
ecute , will It uo longer so bad be. Doch noch
clns. I might gladly the separable verb also
a little bit reform. I might none do let what
Schiller tildj ho has the whole history of the

Ishcd bo will , will the German language the
noblest and the prettiest on the world bo ?

Character of my mission known Is , beseech

Perhaps not so pliable as the mine , but In
