WCMII out on tbo porch of the little southern Illinois homo and thought It over. .When ho had considered the matter and dctnimined to 1)11 ) the contract taken by his father , but which Illness hail prevented carolm. : out , hu was ieady to undeitake a irlp which long years afterward became a classic anioiiK the cattlemen of the uouth- west. Indeed , only the other day , a ranch owner recalled It as showing how much youth would accomplish when perhaps age through excessive caution nilt'lit fall. The rail roads did not then cover the prairie' , the war had destroyed the Xlli - "HOW. " UK UUUNTK1) . freight tramc , the wnll-worn cattle trails had not yet been laid out , and the ranches of Texas were a lonu , lone way from the big yards of St. Louis. * Lornu picked his company of cowboys , rode hastily across country , almost fu straight as the crow files , to Jho ranch lands , gathered the herd of "long honib , " i and tinned the little sea of thlu. nervous 1 faces northward. There was n sea of sharp. biaiu'hlnK horns , too , and such was the wllil- lUMs , iif the ran e cattle of those days that hnrse or rider alone would meet drain I among them. Only the man on horseback I was respected. | The held made a retty pictuic as fol lowing the self-selected leader. It swam the , lied river , only the heads and the necks bclnilslhle , IIB the animals formed an army-like line across the broad stream , ( latheicd on the opposite hank , in the In dian Territory , Lome halted the herd and had a conference with his cowboys. I "We. must push 'em hard , " he ordered , "for Iheie'H no time to waste. Every one , of you must be on your guard all the time , i for there's danger from Indians an' stam- ' " peril's ' It was a new business to htm , and he v , Ished to take no chances. A mess wagon 1 followed the herd , and his assistants were | well scattered alongside the eager , lestlefcs animals. ; Soon the procession settled down Into a bUhlnesHlIko movement , the stretched-out i herd \\lndlng its way over the rolling plain. { ' It seemed to Lome that his task was to bo mi CMSJ one. I As. they left the Washlta mountains behind - ! hind and crossed the Sac and Fox ie.scrva. tlun they ( ussed an Indian village. A few miles farther they were mot by a redskin on linrfcoliack with a gaudy blanket over his Blirulilor. "How ! " he grunted , "How ! * replied Lome , Imitating his tone. "I'nn't take beeves here , " said the Indian , "Chief's founliy have to pay. " This was n new complication and marked the era when the Indians began to charge cattlemen a toll for crossing their teserva- tlons. "Hut I won't pay , " said Lome. "I have no mone > . " "Then go hack. ' grunted the ambassador. "HuMf I won't ? " "Indldiis stampede beeves. " - Of course. He had not thought of that. A half do/.en huckb on ponies waving blank ets could send the whole herd raving over the plain as If demented , and It would be a wonder If It could be gathered together uguln. "We go back , " ho announced sadly , and ga\o ciders to turn the herd eastwaid. Kor ten days they traveled , until It was Judged thut they had reached Arkansas , and then , traversing scant-grassed , uninhabited hills , their course was taken toward the north. Only once wee there a scare. A sound as of a galloping horse was heard at midnight , and Lome , listening , could dUtlngulsh the quick movement of a thousand of the Texas uteeif HS they hastily rose to their feet. He feared a Ntampcde , and hurtled to his al ways Jiuldled pony. Out as he came'to the line of cowboys riding steadily around the herd , ho heatd another sound. In a clear , manly voice that roue Heady and strong on the night wind , came the words : 'Mlil plratuies an' jialucca 'IliouKli 1 may roam , ' lie It vwr o 'uinlilf , Tlirien' no place like libni * . llu-me , wc-e-tt , MU'ft li-o-in < . It was olio ot the cowboys singing the herd out of Its nervousness. It wag a common prattle * In those cattle-driving days , and soothed the excitable steers. Lome's eyes 111 led as he listened to the words , and be re turned ( n bis rude bed , Thun they reached the Had Lands. It was the country where had located but few bottlers , and for days they scarcely naw a IIOUKO or met a traveler. Lome was con gratulating himself on having made much progrcbt but he did not know that he was in dangerous territory. He found out one cloudy evening. The cat tle had been "rounded up" and the fir t wutch of guards had begun jhclr ride , circling the herd , when suddenly a yell was hcaid on a hilltop , and clattering down a slope came the enemy. They weie a dozen roughly dressed men , a match for the cowboys and more. On their heads were cooiibkln caps , and each pointed forward a , levolver. At the first crack ot a weapon the cattle went off to the west like wild things , nut there was no ono to stop them. Lome and tils aids were Mirrotimled and baited , "Hands up ! " called ono of the bandits , for such was the nature of this company that Infested the middle Arkansas hills. "What d'ye want ? " replied Lome , deter mined not to surrender. He leached for his levolver , but the leader of the band hod one alr.eady pointed at his head. "Want yer hands up , an' mighty quick , too , or we'll shoot. " There was an ominous clicking of Iron , and up went the hands of the young drover and his men. The leader of the attacking party stepped _ forward , took all the knlveo , revolvers and i \ > \ lath from the little party of cattlemen , email one and the knots had loosened a trifle. "Can't you get up the tree a ways ? " aaked the leader. "I'll try It. " With a hitch and a catch the cook , who was the lightest of tbe party , found that ho could lift himself off his feet , and then pinching the tree with bis heels make a few- Inches more progress. This he old time after time until he was three or four fset up the sapling and the tree was bending over. "Bend It my way , " said Lome , and the man changed position so as to Incline toward the tree where the leader sat helpless. Then another hitch and another , bend , crabh , crack , and the cook , with the upper part of the sapling still tied to him , was on the ground. Hut he was near Lome , and by a good deal of writhing and twbtlng got his teeth near the knots that held the lariat with which the leader was bound. Like a wolf gnawing at meat he tugged and struggled with the rawhide , and at last was rewarded by a slight relaxation. ( Again he bit and pulled then , at Ust , after It seemed h < < could work no more , the knot "WANT YEH HANDS UI > . AND MIGHTY QUICK , TOO ! " and , forming them In line , gave the order , "March ! " Lome , dexpcrato OB was hli condition , could scarcely repress a smllo os be thought ot the iguddeii change bis affairs had taken In the- past few liDurs , and how remote seemed the chance of getting his h/srd Into headquaikrs thirty dajs hence. But litguaids did not smile. They urged the little line of prisoners forward - ward and soon had them among some sapling walnuts that grow thick in a little ravine. Every man was compelled to nit with his back against a tree and with tbe larhts , long ropes of rawhide , they were tied so that none might escape. "Don't worry , you won't die. " laughed the leader as Im rode off. "We'll let you out In three days. " Lome was afiald the promise would not bo kept. "Well , boys , what do you think ? " aakwl Eome of bit companions when they we'o left alone. " ( tolng to be a long time until supper , " Bald the cook. "May be bo , but wo will wait and see , " Tbe hours went by and not one ofhe \ men could loosen the ropes which tied them EO securely to the strong young trees. The night seemed an ago and more than one of the herders wished before daylight that the cattle Ktealers had taken the lives of the whole fiirty , do agonizing was the strain on the swelling wrUts and tbe grip of tbe rcoct on the throbbing necks. The sun was just visible over a thicket to the east when the cook called' "Doss ! Say. boss ! " "Yi's , " answered Lome. "I can move this here tope up the tree. " "Move H , then. " The man ttood up. sliding the ? rope pain fully Uiguer and hlgbw. The eapllng was o gave way and he saw Lorno rlzo painfully und slowly and stretch his cramped arms and limbs , A few minutes more and the cattlemen were free , "That'B one step. " remarked Lome , as ( hey stood , a woebegone company , In the early morning light. "Tho next Is to find that herd of eUtle , " Going to the cook's wagon , which stood a considerable distance back In the ravine , they found It had cot been disturbed , and from ltd contentsthey ) made a hearty break fast. fast.A A few knlvei and one shotgun wcro found there for weapons , and Lome slung over his shoulder a sack lot salt , thirty pounds or more , "What's that for ? " asked the cook. "Nothing , perhaps , but we may need It mighty bad. " Then they trudged away , following tbo tiall plainly marking thu course of the cat tle. The herd had kept fairly well together , and ran for two miles before It was finally balled by some particularly luscious pas turage. Thence It had evidently been driven wesi- wurd In an orderly manner , and no strag gler even was In sight. On Iho little party trudged. The two horses belonging to tbe cock's wagon had been found near the vehicle , and the cattle men took turns riding them. Ily night they were Etlll out of Eight of the herd , and Lome had bcrioiu thoughts of giving up and returning home. "We'll try It ono more day. " ho answered , and the next morning , after a meal on a jaik rabbit their gun Drought down , they followed the herd's course , Late In the afternoon they climbed a sharp spur of tbe Ozarks and taw cn tbe western slope n picture that made their eyes glisten Scattered over the rich grait. were the cattle , and only two guards kepi the i-lragglcrs within bounds. The robbers evidently thought themselves safe from pursuit and were resting up the stock before turning them northward. The cattlemen watched until dusk , then Lome cave hla orders. "Stay here until you liear a meadow lark's call over on the other side. Then i stampede the herd down the valley. It will demoralize the gang and -10 will tiust In luck. They will think there's more of us than there are. " "But how will you stop "cm ? " "Never mind obey orders. " Lome rode away on one of the horses and an hour later was two miles down the valley where the cliffs contracted the out let to the plains and yet made a gap through which the herd must pass. Loosing the sack of salt he let a Hue stream run from the cover as he walked back and forth across the valley. "There , " said ho , surveying the white lines dimly visible In the gathering daik- nebs , "that ought to do. " A moment later the cowboys heard , clear and sweet on the evening air , a meadow- lark's trill repeated and repeated , Itaclrig down the slop c , they were near the quiet herd before 'the cattle leallzed their presence. Then with a yell and borne outlandUh cries they started the beasts , which weic only too ready to break away. And break they did , a rushing , pushing matin of hide and horn , galloping down UK valley , unmindful ofthe two guards , who reinforced by two otheru , woie vainly en deavoring to atem the tide so rapldl ) es caping. As the cattlemen came up they began an attack on the robbers , and soon had control of their hnrscs and two of the men pris oners , Hut there was no time to purle > or hold prisoners , and the men were re leased , wbl6 ! they wont on after the fleeing herd , "They'll be ncattered an' lost , sure , this time , " gald the cook. "Can't nothln' help It , " agreed the chief herder. Hut Lorno , Bitting on n ledge down the valley , heard the rattle of the hoofs and did not feel alarmed. Upon the next Instant depended his fatt and his fortune. If the herd went on and became scattered over the prairie mid through the ravines , he could Bcarcely ho'ie to get the cattle together before the robbers would bo reinforced , Nearer and nearer came the held , an oc casional hoarse bellow showing the excite ment. The leaders lounded the curve an undulating mass , dark and sea-like In the darkness , followed ; an Instant now and the success of his experiment would bo shown. Lome almost fell off the ledge where he eat In his cagernctu to distinguish what happened. Tbe leaders passed by , the next row threw down their heads , the next tiled to slop , the fourth did stop , as far as tbe pushing force behind would allow It , and then the big herd was crowding and fightIng - Ing .to get a taste of the salt. It was a victory for brains , Lome laughed almost hysterically ns he aw what had occurred. All night tbo men drove the anlmols noithward. and halted at daylight. As they rested a Bound rose beyond a lit tle row of hills -that made all tliclr facca beam with joy. It was the revelllo of an aimy camp. A email force of soldiers from Kort Smith , on a reconnoltcrlng tour , had camped for the night , and was glad to act as escort for the young drover as he pushed his herd toward Iho Missouri line , So.m the wa > way nafe. Though time passed swiftly , the clty'a tunoko wa In view ai.d the stock yards gate opened ten da > b bt'foio the limit and Lome Had nun Ono day. four jeurs later , some pilsoneis were brought Into court from Arkansas. One of them Lome recognUcd the man that had once worn a coonskln cap and helped tie the young drover to a tree Ho. longed , to visit ( .omo retribution on the culprit , but I concluded that thu court would do It wi'h j greater Justlce atid It did.

" IKK ; tiiocr Name of Hi < - MI-IIMS Coin * Slrili'k In lli-riniKlii , "Hog money" Is rather a queer name for currency , Is it not ? Yet that Is the name by which the brass money which began to bo struck In Hermuda In 1C15 came to ho known. On one face of It was a hug , on the other side a ship of that period. Our Illuutiatlons shows one of these old colni. They me very iaro and highly piln'd by col- lectois. The history of this device Is curious and Interesting. A Spanish vessel , commanded by Juan Ileriniiile ; , and on lib wa > to Cuba with a cargo of hogs , was wieiked them.
