Jace ] Hondorn Nccntly returned to
his old home on the Colorado , In western -

Spanish bl'lde , whose heart ho gained
nod whose hand h posscssed down In

and narrow cscape that would make
the tortune ot n slell1ed wrIter of ro-

About two years ago young Hon-

"I am ready , Jack. Dut think-It Is

Marvelous Escape from Death.
Don St. Louis appeared , roaming. .
with rage. Tearing his daughter from
the sldo of the struggling yuutb , he
passed her to an attendant , s.cying : :
"Loce ] her up. " 'I'helt turning to ono I
who appeared to be In command , he
said : "Il is tile Amerlcano ingrate ,

Jack ] mew that tile peons were only
too glnd to obey orders , and strongly
suspecting that he hnd a rIval In the
bunch , hO realized that a11 hope for
merc ) ' was lost. They drngged him
to the banle of a stream not far away ,
and while some were busy hunting a
big rock others weri ! Jlreparing strings.
It required the \lnllell strength of the
bunch to overpower the fightlng'l'cxan ,
and when they were ready to push
hIm over the bane ] Jllcle dextcrousy ]
threw out one ham ] and Ilragged the
leader ot the ga.ng Into the water

when ho struce ] to cllt Jaclt's throat he
missed his aim and se\'ered the cord
that hold the big rocle.
'l'he athletic 'l'exuVus now master

and the next moment the water was
red with the blood about a 1I0underlng

Back to the Ranch.
0110 would Imagine thnt this nnrrow
escape would have coclod the , passion
or the most arllent lover. Not so with
the Incorrlglblo 'l'oal1. : Ten days had
hardly elapsed before ho Hllpearell at
\ the Uancho lUvera. disguised as an In-
IlIan , seeking employment. Ho was
given a job berdlng sheep.
When the Indomltabo ] Texan tound
an opportunity to shod his dlsgulso and
open his arms , 1\Iadellno ran and
threw herselt upon his bosom wIth
joy and confidence.
'fhls time fortuM ngain played the
levers false. 'l'hey encountered a
loclced and baned p.tsturo gate , with a
tonco o ! nine barbed wires 011 e\UlCr

watched that her absence had been

no sooner raised than the whole force
ot the Rancho Grande was sot to scourIng -
Ing the country In every direction. 'fhe
unfortunate ] o\'crs were encountered
while rllling hard 10 reach n distant
gate. A desperate huttlo ensued , and
Jack caught a coupe ] ot hot balls that
stunned him tor the moment , though
neither made moro than slight wounds.
i Again numbers trIumphed , and the
lovers \Vero torn apart tor the second
tlmo.
"Never tear , swe9thenrtl Dettor luck

"There will bo no next tlmo , " reared

with Madollno's faithful lover lashed
to his back. Poor glr ! ! She closed ber
eyes , anll her CrId ! ! of terror were
drowned b ) ' the yells of her cruel tor-

On sped the wIllI red horse over
hill nnd dale. Impelled by fright and
terrorized by the struggling burllen on
bls bacle , the foaming nnlmal Boon
passed beY01111 the I each or his pur-
suera. He had uefn stolen trom the
Quaymal Indians by Don Rivera's
peons , and when he tound himself free
ho at once Bet out to rojoln his old
herd. The bold lover declares that ho
was never surer of winning his brldo
than when the team trom the red
chops ot the wolves were burled into
his tace , It was at that moment that
ho registered an oath to possess Mado-
JIno In splto of Don Rivera and his
army of peons.
Don IUvera had made bItter enemies
of the Qunymals. He had taeen ] theIr
fields away from them and forced the
poor Indians to move their vfl1ago to a
mountain valley.

Lovers FInally United.
'fhey saidYe : nate old Don HI-
vern. He has stolen our lands , our
borses and cattle. Ho has coined the
tears of our women and chlldren. We
wlll help you to drive a paIn Into his
heart. Only tell U8 110w. "
Jack told them hC'w ' , and they did
hep ] him. He ha' ] hardly recovered
frQln his wounds when an Inllian
malden bounded Into his apartment
ono evening wIth 3trcams of words ot
joy flowing tram hOl' red lips.
"She is here-we have brought her

"Who ? What 110 you mean ? " said
Jacle.
"Madeline , of courso. "
It was true. In a few moments the
astounlled lover was rejoiced to IInd
thnt his devoted frlands hod succeedell
In 3teallng his swe'3theart and bringing
her to their vfl1age.
Joyous to the ver 'e of Insanlt ) . ever
being united , nnd fearIng capture , the
lovers wel'e eager to lIy towarlls Texas ,
but the Quayamii chlet protestod. He
wanted to "drivo many pains homo to

insisted that the lovers should bo marrIed -
rIed by the padre In the Quaymal

celebrated by a great teast. "The su-

It wno truo. 'Don Rivera had many
suporstitlons. 110 was afraid of the
shadow of a Quaymal. Foaming with
rage when he heard thnt Madellno was

he saId to his wlfo : "It Is all witch-

They dId tempt him with gold. 'l'he
