COLORADO. Girls Caught on the Plains by an Approaching Tornado. KscnplHK t1 LlKhtHtHK anil th Trmprtt lCifrlene Inn tHlch Whw It A jtiHM4rtl WheH the Sturm W Over. We had been nearly two months at the ranch, and the weeks had been an almost unvarying round of delight for us Iwth. Nearly all the daylight hours we were out of doors, watching the phases) of a life so new to us. Oftou at night wc went out to a little eminence where wo eoiiM Me the sheep come homo to tholr corral. What a, wild phalanx of wool thev looked, and what twinkling little tiaks their leg were. Poncho had recovorotl, and wis gravely at work every day. I used to think the dog's facu wore an air of t4ndwneg ae well a. anxiety when he was conducting a detachment of shoe)) with Iambi. Of coure, that wm a mere fancy, but ThIverde bore ine out iu the notion. To his mind Poncho was capable of anything. He would not bu .surprised if someday the dog had suddenly add resold liimiu theKujlifli of the plains. It was a iiuarter to three o'clock of a mild, cloudless afternoon when my sister. Nan, and myself started to return from a much six ndle- away. We had ridden over there to dinner, and came jrayly cantering homeward, the sun bright, and for oiiot: but very little wind blowing. According to my oxjMjrietice, the West, with its great plains, is the place to become acquainted with wind. Hardly a day pasee but tho air swct!s over the vast stretches in a way tint ht aunoyiug until one gets accustomed to it. It roars through tle canj'oss, sucking hoarsely along the gorges. It is on of the mighty asvhM of the t.'ountry. and to me the leait pleasant of anything I liad known thus far. Hut thU dy. as I have said, it was calm. The sago only moved gently a we ro le toward it, and we loomed to hear tho note of. birds borne to u! from an immense dtatasce. A great many curlews were circling about, and the prairie dors sat up in front of th'; r house, looking at ue with pert and inquiring gaae. 'There' something in the cry of the birds that I do not like,' said Kan. "There's a tone of foreboding in it, and it is not an appropriate tone for so magnificent a dav." But she laughed at her own word aa she xpoke them. A gr&y wolf leaied across our path at some diatanoe, topped an instant and eved Us, then tted away rapidly. Again Nan turned uneasily in her aa'ddta and looked about her. As she shook the lines on Iter pony's nock she exclaimed; "I am certainly tinder a spoil. I)o you know, girls, that I actually thought that gray wolf had something: to tell us, if we could only understand?" After these remarks. Nan seemed to forget her fears, and we all looame cheerful, as was fitting for horsewomen in Colorado, As I look bank upon that afternoon, the ride, the bright sunlight, and the eximrienee which followed, all seem, although painfully vivid, an if they had happened in a life of mine in jsomu other world; I oan never assooiate them with myself in this existence. We were riding toward the northeast, having teen to a ranch lying toward the Vega lVs, though a number of miles this skle of K. That foaling which the birds had awakened had proved very transient. My siller suddenly naked in a tone of interest, untingetl by fear, if we had noticed tht cloud in the southwest, and was it customary for Colorado skies to exhibit such freaks? Upon that we all turned us about, and aa Nan, with a quick ory, pulled up liar horse, we also stopped our ponies and gaaed. Speaking for myself, I only felt Then a keen interest, without alarm, at the sight before mo. Until I looked at my cousin's face I did not think of fear. A great way oft", it sppaared to nip, I was told afterward it mttat have lwm alwttt tea wile distant whan we first saw it,

We ean't get home; what good if we oould? There w a narrow guion about a raim ana half from here. It's the only place know." She turned her horse sharply to the right, and told him fiercely to ge. We followed, rkliujf as I had never ridden before. The horses caught tire from ite, and raced on in that wild way they have, which is not like the manner of hordes in the East In spite of the fear which now ioeseu ui all, tiiere wss a certain glorious feeling in that ride. After we had turned we could look off at our right at the cloud, which was riNsliiug on with terrible qulokueafi, .and which 1 now lancieu was punming tut. and tut alone. Suddenly there was a thunderous sound toward the west, and looking that way 1 saw a vast Herd of cattle sweeping on, a dark, surging tuasn. Willi tossing norns glancing white in th Minsliinn, for the sun wa shining briiiiautly at this time. It was a stam pede. I never know whether thi'V were frightened by the cloud or had been urged on by the unoxulainod immile that sometime oomos to them to tiee luadlv over the plains. At another thue this sight would have been of stirring 1 iiiU-ret; now I did not care to watch ( the flight of the cattle. I was too iuhaving the appearance of common "thunder head," rose and dispersed scured the sunlight. it was a relief to me when the sun ceased to shine, lor the scene seemed lew abnormally territic. Within a few rods of the opening of the gulch 1 heard a roar, as of oneorn Uig wmiL A at: critfd out again to Jier , horse, the animals lurched forward vet . faster. aud in a moment wo were all entoria? the ravine. It was extremelv uneven ground and covered .;by broken sharp stones. My suiter and 1 were watohing Kan; she slipped oft" the saddle and hurriedly motioned to us to do the same. The instant we were dismounted the horses scrambled rapidly forward into the gulch, aud we did the same, Nan now in the rear and driving tis along. That night I found my shoes out and a gash in my foot, but I did not feel the wOund when I received it Whila wh were thus hurrrinir to set to tJie deenest shelter of the srullv. the roar above us was awful, and was increasing every moment. It reverberated strangely through the ravine. We could not linve he;ird a word had we spoken. We all stopped simultaneously and looked at each other. They were two very white faces that I saw, with strained, frightened eyes. Nan made a movement with her itead that we were not to So on; and we crouched down against w rooky sides of the earth. The next instaut Kmma leaned heavily upon me aud silently pointed upward toward the chasm's opening, where we had entered. The black cloud was just going past our point of vision; it had dilated to twice its former size, but still retainad ite cylinder shape. If it could be possible, it was more dense than ever, and boiling in it blackness. Balks of tire sped book and forth in the air; or my sight was under an hallucination to that effect. All the phenomena seemed to have their center in that cone of black cloud. The straugest, the most awful thing of all that fearful experience waa what I saw now. Behind that black cloud, whether followingit or drivingH I know not, oame a tall cloud of intense t, mwt daxxling white a pillar of glory, growing every instant more like a pillar of fire, and soon appearing to control the inky shape. The raving noise was now at its lieight In a moment the two mysterious shapes had passed from our contracted line of vision; they marched on, destroying as they went. The erash of timber along a stream not far on', the cannouadingof the thunder, which had now opened its forces, and above all the overwhelming roar of the wind, made us shrink and cower closer together. A fiercer blast caused us to throw ourselves flat on the stony ground, grasping at each other's hands. tk ignorant wasl that I believed at tho time that we were in full power of the tornado, instead of being comparatively slteltered by the walls of the gulch. Afterward I knew that we oould hardly have saved our lives had we not been able to reach this ravine. Onoe I felt a touch on my head, from which my hat had long since gone. I found that it wv one of the horses. They had all come back from their first run up the gulch to be near us; the three stood huddled close by, when we had a chance to look. As 1 recall things In a dream, so I recall tho inoklenta of the time while we remained in mat refuge. Once, in a glare of the lightning, and while my eyes ware open and my head raised, I saw several objects flying over the top of the gulch. They were shatp, and their dead, bruised bodies were found, as if they had been flung hard against the ground, after tho stotm. Onoe something came down close by me, hitting my hand where I had dug my fingers unoonQlously down into the earth. H waa a small prairie dog, and it lay still In death, near me. Many prairie bans, the next day, were found dead, with almost all their feathers stripped off by the wind. Whito the terror lasted there waa hardly a lull in the ferooitv of it I thought ws had

That dentun ooae of eJotM was flying further on Its road of do etrueaon, but It had left us. We immediately got upon oar feat, our horses keeping their heads close to our shoulder as we ant so. or ine time we bad groped and stumbled our way to the entrance of the gulch there was blue sky in the north, and the rata had dwindled to a few heavy drops. We stood a moment weatnMss, loonhag about us witn soared eyes. It was a wkie plant where we were, ana au the devastation we saw at first was that the row of eottonwoods was lying, torn up.' some of them half-way aeroae the stream they bad bordered. "1 am afraid of what I shall find at home," said Nan. As she spoke, she turned to her bom and swung herself up into the soaked saddle. These jonies are not tall, and it is possible for a woman to mount without help. We. both followed hot example, and the horses gladly turned homeward. Our soggy, dripping ewthes elung clammily to us, and the heavy skirts UhpjmmI dull against the horses' wet sides. While we were within a mile of the house we saw a man riding down at a furious gait toward tu, and a few rods ahead ran a dog. We knew the horseman oould not be Colonel Stewart, for be had gone away in the morning and was not to return until the following dsv. As we looked, the snn burst out spfendidly. The man took oil' his hat and waved it witli unmistakable joy ousnees. A few yj.rds more and we saw that this was Valverde. lie rode up, and turned his horse to go with us, exclaiming: " I don think I was ever much glad' der in all mt riavst than I bti to see vou Folks to tha" house are 'bout crazy 'bout ye.

Even the combination of tools. whose theory is taught in the manual training school, is able to cover only one-twelfth of the occupations of that portion of the population engaged in gainful work (this one-twelfth loclnd hag namely, the workers in wood and the metals). But drawing is a general training of the hand and eye, so deli cate that it is not injurious to an trades, but of positive benefit fh all. is useful if taught as the analysis and svnthesis of historic art forma, not onlv to those who are to work in rli an ic a! aaanloymeBta. or aav emolov meats, but to all persona whatsoever.' Tho kind of drawing which Dr. Harris has in mind is that which reproduces analytically aad synthetically the Mo toric forms of the beautiful.
