[Original. J
Al auuset coming in a ranch we iuracil
In and were invito;! to spend the ,
night at I ho house hy Manuel l'arilo,
tho owner. There wore a numher of
men in tl:e yard, all jingling spurs, and
one of tIn in w as pointed out to tno as
a trailer. Ills name was Sancho. and
my infon.iant told liie that if lie wore
dropped down anywhere within fifty ,
miles of 1110 raneh on the darkest of (
dark nights he would feel the hushes ;
and tell within a thousand yards of J ,
where ho vras. Those trailers were al- j '
ways rare and are now well nigh ex- !
thiol.
I ouiv saw one woman ahoul the ,
house, 1'radii's daughter, ahottt sixteen j
* year.? < id. Slie was as pretty as a lit- i
11,, 11 m* l.l....I- 1...:.. l < . ! .

ihe ri'iiicr of lier I town chock was a
dab of vcriniilloti. At sii|)i>ei' she hand- ,
?d tis coffee and daring the evening ,
entertaineil as with songs, accompany? ?
ing herself en the guitar. v
T*. After a good sleep 1 arose an l threw ,
<>pen tn.v window. The yard w.as full ,
of won. plainly iu a stttte of excite- ?
incnt. i rad> was there swearing like ]
a pirate, oceasloually stopping to give ,
tin ofii.-r. Sam bo was leaning against ,
the porch, apparently the only tim-on- |
eerned man of the lot. I'ratio every
ire.v and again would go tip to him and | (
say something, to whieh Sititeho would j ]
invariably slut lie his head. Meanwhile
saddle horses wore being led from tlie
stables.
Drear-lug hastily, I went down to <
learn that during the night some fifty j
hordes had heeu driven away front i
their range. A party was being made <
up for pursuit. We were invited to !
join and. .after it hasty breakfast, :
* mounted our horses. When all were i
ready 1 was surprised to see Sancho I
sitting on the poreh. evidently not. go- i
ing. l'rado went up to hint and saitl 1
something we could not hear, but it I
was like electritying a corpse. Sanebo I
.intaped tip and ran hack to the stables, <
When lie returned he was splendidly !
mounted. On his head was a sombrero, i
from under which fell long black In- l
dinn hair; around him was a gaudy 1
. blanket; under his right knee his Win- i
Chester, l'rado gave the word, r.nil <
we were off. Looking hack, I saw i
something white waved from an upper '
window. If any of (lie parly except
me saw it. they paid no attention to it.
Nevertheless 1 believed it was tin
"n.lieu" to some one ot' our number ami
that some one saw it. but would not
admit the fact. Which one of the wild
gang it was intended for was a well
kept secret.
The stolen horses had left a broad
trail, which Suneho, riding in front, followed.
On we rode in He after mile,
keeping- the steady ranch horse trot.
The horse thieves had nearly twelve
hours the start of us, and we were
obliged to go faster than they could
drive the horses. At noon wo rested
for an hour, theu started on and rode
till night was coming 011. when the
broad t ail suddenly disappeared. Sancho
said that they had sea tiered the
horses.
We ate a supper of bacon and hard
tftok. then started on under the light of
a full mo tn. Sancho still kept the lead,
leaning far forward ia his saddle,
watching what was now a single truck.
Sancho gate a grant of satisfaction.
Jlefore us again stretches the wide
track inside by the fugitives. .Midnight
comes ami passes. A faint streak in
the east broadens, stud before it the
face of the inoon in the west grows
ashen. Then the sun rises, ami we take
a few hours' rest.
A cup of coffee, and we were off on
our relentless pursuit. We had gone
hut a few miles when the broad trail

'i*be next sign was n heavy eloiul of
smoke. Snncho said that they were t
burning the dry grass through which '
their trail lay, hoping to destroy it.
I'rado, now realizing that the horse
thieves were near) gave the order to e
push on more rapidly, and iu another ' d

hour wo rair.o up with tliom'. There
wore I lie herd of Prado's horses, *it>Ming
:it the rrrass, unconcernedly as
if they had wandered away of their
own ae ?ord. Some of our party pushel
on, hoping to catch the thieves, but
after several hours' hunt returned without
having ev'-n g >t a glimpse of them.
Then. after half a day's rest. wo made
our way slowly back to the; ranch,
driving the horses before us.
When wo rode up to Uie ranch bouse
there again for a moment Hashed something
white. We were ail facing it, and
I looked front one to the other for some
lelltale color on the cheek or Hash In the
eye to indicate that it was for hiiu. I
rooked in vain. We dismounted in the
yard and all went in to supper, which
was the tlrst square meal we had had
since wo started.
The next afternoon we prepared to
cntlnue our journey, when Prado begged
us to delay.
"We are to have a wedding tonight,"
:e said, "and wo would like to have
rou present."
"A wedding!" 1 exclaimed, and at
Hu e the white sigunl I had seen at the
vindow came back to me.
"Yes, my dan liter. She is to be marLed."
Tue oid man wiped a tear away
tvltli his coat sleeve. "I would not
jive her up till I lost my horses,
sancho lias wanted her for some time.
I refused him, but when the thieves
trove away tlfty or my best horses I
must either consent or lose my stock, i
for Sauoho is the only one hereabout
who could follow the trail and he refused
to do so unless I would give him
my daughter." IIAROI.l) OTIS.

ake matters worse, Miss King, hero- si
o, had been "telling stories" about s?

^r to hear: si
"What did you wirtit to put up a job
i another woman for?" c
"I didn't. That yarn eurne from a u

At the end of the scene he took the w

irgavc her slanderer. While tlie lights el
ere being turned down to slow music b
ray growled: d
"It's lucky this is the last night, h

air of hands. The manager was furl- e

roperly. Ilis threat served to make s
ilngs go more easily, hut all natural- j h

ad could not he forced back. In the ?
ext act the hero meets Miss Trcville, v
ho (in the play) had slandered his
