Fox waa aaw behind ka guide, sad
aa ka aaw tke fellow slip frees the sad
dle he drew ap hla awa herse. His drat
impulse was ta cast his arcs ever the
strange, wild scene ahead. The ravins
waa very deep, with rough. Jagged aides,
snd with a button ef huge rocka, over
which the torrent was evidently wont to
daah during the season ef heavy rains
and freshets. But the moat peculiar
feature of all waa s wide, naturally arch

"Then wa will ride faster waea we

Warda was not oa!y perplexed, kat
muck agitated. He found that the stran
ger's eyes wars stesdily npon him, and
his every movement was watched. But
soon hs ssamwi to gain confidence, and
with s steadier ksnd hs patched the
girth with s thong where be had himself
rut it, aad In s few moments more ka
wss ia hia saddle.
"Now yeu mar ride en." he said, "for

"Then," replied Fox, wke ewald aat

Thie last sentence waa stokaa sharp
ly, sad the fellow etarted en. Fox waited
siitil ba had gained the oppoaite aide,
and then be follower! him. Whea the
traveler reached the spot where bis guide
stood, the latter rode on ahead at s briak
trot, and Fox followed at a respectful
distance. Soon the gentleman saw Wards
place hla hand ia hia bosom, snd when
hs withdrew it he bad a pistol ia it
Warda supposed he bad accomplished
tliia without being noticed. Ou the next
luKtant Fox he-ird a sharp click, click,
and from the way la which the fiwow'a
right elbow wss bent be knew that the
weapon wss ready for firing. Fox drew
hia own pistol, and held it beneath the
skirt of his frock, by bringing the skirt
up over the saddle bow.
Suddenly Warda drew la hia boras by
a powerful movement, and quir'ly
rhnnging his pistol into his left hsnd, he
cried out, in a wild, strange voice, at the
same time pointing off over tha river:
'8ee here! See there!"
James Fox had seen the whole process,
and he knew full wail tkat If ke did
not act promptly ke would have a bullet
through hie head before be could prevent
it He waited until he saw the guide
reach back witk kls right hand far the
pistol, and then be knew the crisis had
come. It waa hard to take the life of a
fellow, but now he had bis choice to
fail by the handa of an aaaaaein, snd
thus lesve the villain to do more warder,
while at the same time a atill darker
villain would be left behind witk a de
fenneleae maiden in hia grasp or to save
hia own life, atd thus live to sccouipliab
a work which Juntice and mercy and
love demanded at hi h inula. Tbene
thoughts Saehed through his mind like
lightning, snd on the next instant his
coarse was clear.
"Look! Look!" cried the guide.
Fox ssw the villain's tnger uw opoe

head be drew la kia rain, aud as bis
horse settled back he quickly bc-ugiit
his owa pistol ta within a yard of tha

Always Keep rollh.
Many a woman who would not think
of lightly breaking a promise made to
a grown-up person is utterly carelen
about keeping her word with bpr chil
dren. She promisee whatever Is con
Tetilent at the moment, and apparent
ly thinks tbat the breaking or keep
ing of those promises Is a matter In
which she can please herself, and that
ber children have no right to consider
themselves aggrieved If she does not
do so.
A mother wlio acta tbnt doea her
child grievous harm. She forgets thai
the sense of Justice Is strong In quite
little child, and that It Is natural an 1
reasonable that be should expect his
parents to be as good aa their word
and to fulfill their promises, even a!
the cost of convenience. Promise
should not be lightly broken, and lh
parent who Is guilty of this soon loses
bis children's conildence. which Is on,
of the sweetest things which our little
ones can give us.
When boys and glrla learn to doubt
tbeir parents' truthfulness they soon
)k around for someone else whuiu
they can trust, and on that person they
hower tbeir affection and bestow their
confidence. -
