WAIF OF THE RANGE.
T la a child, father!
I can see the gar
■ ments flutter in the
wind.”
“Nonsense, my
son; it is some'bun
dle hung out from
the old hut. The
distance is too great
to see with such
distinctness, even
with tVila Inner
range glass. But even granting it were
a child, we would feel little interest in
its fate, for that old structure with its
mud walls and thatched roof is occu
pied by one of the meanest Mexicans
it was ever my fortune to run across.
Tou see I was past the place last year.”
Father and son had paused on the
summit of one of the lesser mountain
ranges that makes the Argenta region
look as if it was set up on edges. On
the higher ridge that marked the west
ern horizon the sinking sun for the
moment hung like a silvery ball, soon
to drop out of sight until another day
should be ushered in from the peaks
far to the east.
Mr. Mayburn had come from New
England several years before, hoping
to better his health and his fortunes
on a sheep ranch, but 111-fortune had
seemed to follow him, though for the
first season he had prospered. En
couraged thus, he had sent for his wife
and children to join him. Within a
month after they had arrived the dep
redations of a band Qf cattle thieves
had left him without stock, without
home, and his wife and little girl miss
ing. A few days later a party of cattle
men discovered their dead bodies some
miles to the north In the track of the
merciless marauders. Nearly heart
broken, the disappointed rancher
started with his only earthly tie left,
his boy Harry, on a wandering trip
wherever his fancy led him. He was
at this time on a horseback ride to
lower California, intending to settle
down there If he found the country all
he expected.
“It is high time for us to be looking
up a camping-place for the night,” he
said, handing the glass back to Harry,
who found it hard to turn his gaze from
the distant view. “I think we shall
find plenty of grass for our horses, and
water half a mile below here. It will
be a well-sheltered spot for us to stop.”
Harry had again raised the glass to
his eyes, and was looking more intently
than ever across the broken landscape
to the distant range where the linger
ing rays of the setting sun shone clear
est. The half-ruined wall of a primi
tive-looking dwelling stood out with re
markable boldness against the clear
September sky, like a lone sentinel on
the bald ridge of barren soil and rock.
Lower down the range was skirted by
a heavy growth, and off to the right a
river glimmered on the scene like a
broad band of molten silver. But one
object in the long, wide stretch of coun
try held his attention.
From the western end of the hut was
something suspended about half way
up its height. It might be, as his fa
ther had said, merely a worthless bun
dle of no interest, but he could not
drive the belief from his mind that it
was possessed of life. He fancied that
he saw it move, and once, as he gazed
through the glass, he was almost cer
tain that a white imploring face had
been-brought close to his own. This
haunting vision was constantly before
him as he and his father went into
camp on the bank of a beautiful
stream, and the tired horses clipped
with keen relish the long, sweet grass
carpeting the valley.
Finding he could not swerve his fa
ther from his unbelief, he tried to for
get all about it, and an hour later both
qf them had lain down under their
blankets for a night’s sleep.
It must have been near midnight
when Harry awoke with a start in the
midst of a dream that caused him to
spring to his feet with a low cry of ter
ror. He thought he had been to the old
“SHE LIVES!” HE CRIED.
hut, to find there a little girl suffering
untold agony from being hung by a
rope from the miserable abode, while
a dozen fiends in human shape danced
about her.
His father was fast asleep, while the
horses, having eaten their fill of the
grass, stood quietly nodding a short
distance away. The very silence of
the lonely scene made his dream stand
out more real and terrifying. Unable
to sleep, he walked down to the side of
his horse, and almost before he knew it
he was putting the saddle on its back.
“It won’t take long to ride over
there,” he thought, “and I will be back
before father wakes. If I keep a sharp
lookout no harm can arise from my
trip. It would be so satisfying to know
the truth.”
Being careful to fix the direction in
■his mind, Harry rode silently on his
lonely Journey, which, had he dreamed
was going to prove so long, he would
never have ventured to undertake.
The day was breaking as at last he
ascended the range where he telt con
fident he should find the Mexican’s hut.
He was not disappointed, for at the
edge of the forest he was gladdened by
the sight of the homely building. From
his position he could not see the ob
ject which had caused him to under
take what he was ready now to be
lieve was a foolhardy Journey. No
doubt it had been some illusion of the
gaze, and he was tempted to start back
to find his father without climbing to
the top of the ridge, which was steeper
than he had thought from the • dis
tance.
No! He would know the whole truth
after coming so far, and, resolved to
move with extreme caution, he left his
horse under cover of th» growth and
approached the place on foot.
There was no moon, but in the clear
starlight he could see no signs of life
about the solitary hut, which looked
as if it had been deserted for years.
One spark of hope still burned In his
heart. He had not got In a position
yet to see the west end of the hut, and
it was there he fancied he had seen the
helDlesa child
With high-beating heart he ad
vanced, obliged to pass around huge
bowlders that ever and anon disputed
his-way. What a barren place for a
home, though a fertile valley lay no
more than half a mile distant on the
other side.
As Harry came around on the upper
side of a pile of rocks, he abruptly
found himself in plhin sight of the hut,
and—a wild cry left his lips as he saw
the object he had come so far to see!
It did not need a second look for him
to discover that it was a human being
—a little girl not over four years of
age, hanging there in mld-alr like a
lifeless thing! A rope was fastened
around her slight waist, the other end
secured at the top of the roof. -
“She is dead!” he exclaimed, but he
had scarcely uttered the exclamation
when a low, piteous wail was borne to
his ears on the still night air.
“She lives!” he cried, and regardless
of the danger he might be running
into, he dashed swiftly up the ascent,
not to stop until he was under and
within reach of the swaying figure.
Another moan of distress came from
the helpless little one, as with one
stroke of his knife he severed the rope
suspending her in the air. The. next
moment she lay perfectly motionless
upon the ground, with him bending
over her.
“Poor thing, she is nearly dead from
fright and hunger. I wonder who—
Oh, father, it is Alice—our Alice!”
About that time the large blue eyes
slowly opened, to look straight into
those of her brother, who had thus
strangely found her whom he and his
father had supposed dead.
“I wish father-"
Harry stopped in the midst of his
speech, for upon looking up at the
sounds of the hoofstrokes of a horse he
saw his father riding toward the place.
“I missed you, and mistrusting you
had come here I followed at once. So
you were right—my God! it is Alice!”
It is hardly necessary to depict the
joy of the reunited ones, and when the
first transport of their rejoicing had
passed, father and son learned that
Alice and her mother had not been
killed as reported, but had been carried
off toward the Spanish range by their
captors. Upon coming to this lonely
hut of the Mexican, In a fit of cold
blooded ferocity they had shot the
owner of the building and suspended
their young captive in the position in
which she had been found.
This could not have been accom
plished very long before Harry had
seen her though the glass, for she de
clared that it was most night at the
time. Her mother, with two or three
others, were still with the party, cap
' Hvoa 1
“They would be likely to camp In
the valley below here,” said Mr. May
burn, whose excitement hardly knew
bounds. “We must push on and res
cue them. I am going to turn Alice
over to your care, Harry."
Though she had suffered untold
agony in that trying position so many
hours, Alice was only too glad to get
away from the place, and In less than
five minutes they were moving as si
lently as possible down the range.
Mr. Mayburn proved correct in his
predictions, and before sunrise they had
not only overtaken the desperadoes, but
surprised and routed them. Mrs. May
burn and two captives were rescued
unharmed, and a more thankful party
it would be difficult to And. Knowing
the dangers that still environed them,
they pushed on as rapidly as possible
to the nearest town, which they safely
reached. Eventually Mr. Mayburn and
his family reached Los Angeles, where
they live now. •
Turkey'* Subjects and England.
Probably Turkish rule in Armenia is
not much worse than in Macedonia,
and, if the Armenians are to be pitied,
so are the Macedonians, for the Turk is
a blighting curse to every subject race
within his dominions. If we are sin
cere in our fervor for good government
in Turkey we must renounce the idea
of sacrificing these races to our politi
cal aim of maintaining Turkey cs a bul
wark against Russia. This was the
doctrine of Mr. Gladstone, and roundly
has he been abused for It. The con
trary doctrine has been that of Lrrd
Salisbury and Lord Rosebery. Mr.!
Gladstone recognized the paramount
obligation of conscience; Lord Rose
bery, Lord Salisbury, and maay of
their predecessors subordinated con
science to what they regarded as. the
exigencies of policy.

THE LAW AND THE WHEEL.
U|»l State* of th« Bleyelo Soeontlii
to Judicial DooMons.
The use of the bicycle for the purpose
of locomotion and travel la bo recent
that as yet there la little adjudication as
to the rights and liability of travelers
employing it upon the highway, but
the trend of Judicial authority seems to
place the wheel on a plane of equality
with other vehicles. The early advent
of the bicycle met with strenuous op
position, both from pedestrians and
agencies of the road, the former con
tending that It was a vehicle and should
be excluded from the sidewalk, and the
latter asserting that It was an object
of terror, the use of which was perilous,
in that it frightened horses. But by de
grees this child of adversity began to
be recognized by the courts and its legal
status to be established. Finally its
paternity was established and It was
placed In the category of carriages and
Vehicles. Although Blackstone, Coke
and other common law jurists never
experienced the sensation of a spin on
a blcydle, yet, we look to the law of the
mother country for the earliest cases
involving the law Of the wheel. The
authorities, almost without exception,
now recognise the bicycle as a "car
riage” or "vehicle” entitled to the
rights of carriages and vehicles in gen
erai, ana no longer regara 11 as an od
Btruction to. or an unreasonable use
of the streets or roads, but rather a new
and Improved method of using the
same, and "germane to their principal
use as a pathway." One Taylor, an
Englishman, was the first to take the
bicycle into court, and the case of Tay
lor against Goodwin is a leading one.
Mr. Goodwin sprinted on a certain road
in violation of a statute making the
furious driving of a carriage upon the
highway an offense. Upon the trial he
did not deny the allegation of immod
erate speed, but contended that the bi
cycle was not a “carriage” and that the
word "driven" as ordinarily understood
was not applicable to the bicycle, and
that the mere fact that it had wheels
did hot make it a carriage any more
than a wheelbarrow or roller skates.
But the court was of the opinion that it
was a carriage in the full sense of the
word, and that persons riding it may be
said to “drive" it in the sense that an
engineer drives an engine, although he
guides as well as propels it Investiga
tion discloses similar American authori
ties. In applying the established law
of the road to the wheel, probably it is
not entitled to the dignity of a carriage,
and while there is no authority for the
statement, it seems that the wheelman
in riding on the road should be govened
by the immemorial usage and custom
applicable to horsemen. It has been
held that there is no law requiring a
man on horseback to turn either to the
right or to the left hand. He should be
governed by his notions of prudence. A
horseman should yield the traveled
track to a vehicle where he can do so
without peril.
BRAVE BUFFALO FIREMAN.
Bow Ha Managed to Fat Oat a Fire In
the Third Story Alone.
During the fire at the Gilbert S.
Graves starch works on Court street,
Buffalo the other morning As
sistant Chief Murphy did what
not one man in 1,000 would do if
he could. The assistant chief saw
smoke pouring from the windows of
the third floor, and as no truck had ar
rived and it was absolutely necessary
for some one to get to the seat of the
trouble at once, he determined in some
way to get to the third floor without
waiting for a ladder. The doors and
windows of the first floor were tightly
closed, but the windows all over the
building were guarded by horizontal
iron bars. Seeing but one possible
means to attain his end Murphy
climbed up the grating on a window of
the first floor and was Just able to
reach the lowest bar on the seoond
story window. Seizing this bar he drew
himself up till in the same way he had
reached the window on the third floor,
the bars of which he also climbed, to
see a big pile of blazing material in one
corner of the room. The bars over the
window were of heavy iron, dose to
gether and fastened to the window
casings with Jong bolts and screws.
Murphy thrust one arm around two
bars and with the other hand wrenched
from its fastenings the upper bar, tear
ing bolts and screws bodily from the
side of the building. Through the
small opening thus made he crawled
into the room and soon was able to see
the flames extinguished. This feat is
most remarkable in view of the fact
that leas than two years ago Murphy
broke both his arms in falling through
a hatchway in a building on Elk street
market, an injury that will be felt by
him as long as he lives.
Thin I* Lucid.
In explanation of the hot wave the
weather man says: ''This storm center
is what is called a ‘low.’ As the area
of low pressure moved toward the east
large bodies of heated air from the
south were drawn in toward the center.
But there was a reverse action about
this drawing in process. The low area
always exists between two ‘highs,’ and
there is another high rushing to fill the
vacuum from way up in the northwest
territory." This very simple and gra
phic explanation illustrates the absurd
ity and uselessness of Indulging in pro
fanity when such a lucid explanation
may be had for the asking.—Chicago

Most Crowded Spot on Berth.

man beings to the square mile, but in
the Manderraggio there Is one locality
In which there are 2,574 persons living
on a plot of ground less than two acres
