There was a hailstorm onjthe south east corner of the route lost Friday night, damaging the oats about one half and the wheat one third. Hail fell on Saturday night on the east part of the route, but no damage resulted. Miss Lucy Davis, who has been visit ing at the home of H. J. Brian, was pleasantly surprised by the young people Tuesday, evening, prior to her returning home Wednesday, Mm. Frank Tschauner and five child ren attended the Fourth in Columbus, returning home after the fireworks. As the children were tired out they laid down in the bottom of the spring wagon and went to sleep When with in a mile of borne Mrs. Tschauner dis covered that the next to the oldest boy was not in the wagon, and she began a search for him after taking the other children home. He was found the next day at the home of Chas Stahara none the worse for his experience. It is suppose that when the wagon went into a rut threw him oat, and he wandered to where he was found. ietnmaramsrMcmautceL (Continued from page 5.)

Upon special request of a number of Influential citizens of Placer, Including the city marshal and other officials, expressed In mass meeting, I have decided upon desert ing .that sagebrush metropolis to its just fate, and plan to add the influ ence of my presence to the future de velopment of GlencakL I learn that the climate there Is more salubrious, more conducive to long living, the citi zens of Placer being peculiarly excit able and careless with their fire arms." The sergeant had been listening with open mouth. "The hell you say!" he finally ejaculated. "The undented truth, every word of it. No wonder you are shocked. A fine state of affairs, isn't it, when a plain-spoken, pleasant-mannered gen tleman, such as I surely am, a uni versity graduate, by all the gods, the nephew of a United States -senator, and acknowledged to be the greatest exponent of scientific poker in this ter ritory, should be obliged to hastily change his chosen place of abode be cause of the threat of an ignorant and depraved mob. Ever have a rope dan gled in front of your eyes, sergeant. and a gun-barrel biting into your cheek at the same time? Accept my word for it, the experience' is trying on the nerves. Ran a perfectly square game, too, and those ducks knew It; but Bfere's no true sporting spirit left in this territory any more. However, spilled milk is neyer worth sobbing orery and Fate always contrives to play the final hand In any game, and stocks the cards to win." "A breath of good, honest prayer would serve better than anything else," groaned the sergeant, soberly. The gray eyes resting thoughtfully on the old soldier's haggard face be-' came instantly grave and earnest "Sincerely I wish I might aid you with one," the man admitted, "but I fear, old fellow, any prayer coming from my lips would never ascend very far. However, I might try the com fort of a hymn, and you will remember this one, which, no doubt, you have helped to sing back in God's country." There was a moment's hushed pause, during which a rifle cracked sharply out in the ravine; them the reckless fellow, his head partially sup ported against the protecting bowlder, lifted up a fun, rich barytone in readt. tlon of that hymn of Christian faith Nearer. my Gee. te Thee! Nearer te Thee! - area though It fee cress That rafcwth aw. tffl an my sea shall be. Nearer, ay OeClto The! JN ua wearied eyes, glanced cautiously toward the singer around the edges of protecting rocks; fingers loosened their grasp upon the rifle bar rels; smoke-begrimed cheeks became moist; while lips, a moment before profaned by oaths, grew silent and trembling. Out in front a revengeful brave sent his bullet swirling just above the singer's head, the sharp fragments of rock dislodged falling in a shower upon his upturned face; but the fearless rascal sang serenely on to the end, without a quaver. "Mistake it for a death song likely." he remarked dryly, while the last clear, lingering note, reechoed by the cliff, died reluctantly away in softened cadence. "Beautiful old song, ser geant, and I trust hearing it again has done you good. Sang it once in a church way back in New England. But what Is the trouble? Did you call me for some special reason?" "Tes," came the almost gruff re sponse; for Wyman, the fever steal ing back upon him, felt half ashamed of his unshed tears. "That is, pro vided you retain sufficient sense to listen. Old Gillls was shot over an hour ago, yonder behind that big bowlder, and his girl sits there still holding his head In her lap. She'll get hit also unless somebody pulls her out of there, and she's doing no good to aillis he's dead." Hampton's clear-cut, expressive face became graver, all trace of reckless ness gone from it He lifted his head cautiously, peering over his rock cover toward where he remembered earlier in the fight Glllla had sought refuge. CHAPTER II. "' Old Gillie' Girl. Guided by the unerring Instinct of an old Indian fighter, Gillis,. during that .first mad retreat, had discovered temporary shelter behind one of the largest bowlders. It was a trifle in advance of those later rolled into-position by the soldiers, but was of a size andshape which should have afforded COLUMBUS MEAT .

That had occurred fully an hour before, bat she continued in the same posture, n grave, pathetic figure, her face sobered and careworn beyond her years, her eyes dry and staring, one brown hand grasptag unconsciously the old man'a useless rifle. She would scarcely have been esteemed attractive even under much happier circumstances and as sisted by dress, yet there was sease1 thing Jn the Independent poise of her head, the steady fixedness of her pas ture, which served to interest Hamp ton as he now watched her curiously. "Fighting blood." he muttered ad miringly to himself. "Might fall to develop into very much of a society bell, but likely to prove valuable out here." She waa rather a slender ship of n thing, a trifle too tall for her years. perhaps, yet with no lack of develop ment apparent in the slim, rounded figure. Her coarse home-made dress of dark calico fitted her sadly, while her rumpled hair, from which the broad-brimmed hat had fallen, pos sessed a reddish copper tiage where it was touched by the sun.
