Ha never looked to hfa stepa, yet they found their way unerringly among the stones and drift of the creek bottom, till the frontage of the cottonwood shut him from their view. A aiugfa wild neigh came back from him, and in answer something so like a "whoop" that the two hunters gare up all thought of pursuit, as they moved oft? from the induenoe of the strange spall that had been east around them. Back in camp, the stock were more carefully watched than before; but the night wore away, and not aa Incident occurred to disturb the travelers, or even to suggest an attack. 'Next morning, rose the sun upon those sweeping meadows, and touched the fleecy cloud with hU glory as they floated in the still air like hymns of inctfitae from the waking earth. The stream whirled along ita narrow banks, and lingered among the rushy shallows. Wild ducks cheeked theii skimming- flight and settled on its boeom, dlsturbinc the grotesque bittern in He silent moods. Away off to the west a coyote lingered nocturnal traveler, leaving the oouiing day far behind, to hide bin body in the deep cleft of some lone canyon. The men were just drawing; the picket- of the horses, to harnean them and take the road, when all at onoe, a whooping scream rang from the gulch near by, and showeda throne of Indians, with the White Head before them, racing ailiv wi th.

Stuni br the miaailtM. aad maddanad hv th snouts, horses and mules broke away, I and with trailing ropes dashed ovei the prairie in a headlong gallop. A few men pursued them. These were they, who, having been saddled and ready before the first rush, had control of their animals, and now swept off after the stampede, in hopes of peing able to cheek it. The Indians were about three hundred yard ahead, i training every nerve to dfatanoe their pursuers, the stampeded stock in advance, racing, they knew not whither, and at their heels the White Bead, more like devil than horse, kicking the well-known rattling hide behind him. which resounded like th war-drum of some savage tribe. Daehing from right to left, as the terrified animals swerved from the track he would wiiirl on hfa bauncbtry, rush with (erring springs at wxs aamuM aaparaveti rrom tae rest, and drive it back to the herd.

He bad the entire drove under control, and was driving them with unerrinsr instinct to a oartlcular part of the, broken plain, from whence he expected help from hfa red masters.

But one way remained to cheek theit flight; that was to disable the Rend which drove them. But how Clearly not with a lasso all shrunk from usinr that. The rifle wan left.

"I was wondering not ten' minutes ago how I would get that big pile of wood in the shed. "Simon sawed H y eaterday, bat be didn't have time to put it up, aad new he's off to mill. There's at least adoaen bushels of apples In the orchard to pick up, too." The faces of the three hoys clouded a little. "But, grandpa," said Joe, "we came over here to have a good time. We didn't expect to be set to work." "We'll see about the good time when the wood fa in and the apples picked 2 i," said grandpa, with a kindly twine in bis blue eyes. "I know you wouldn't feel content te play while 2 put in the wood. Mow, would you" "No, sir!" cried Ned and Charlie together. But Joe did not answer at ail. He wasn't fond of work at any time, and be thought beoauae he went to school all the week, he ought to have every Saturday for play. "Many hands make light work," said grandpa, as be put on his hat and coat, and led Urn way to the wood-abed, "nee how smart you can be.

"I wonder what be means to de hi order to give ns a good time thfa aftorteouF" said Charifa. "Nothing much, yon may be sure," ' returned Joe.

A fellow 'might lash Prince till hfa arms ached, "and the stiff ohl creature wouldn't go faster n a walk!" "Well," said Nod, "I'd sooner pat in this wood all atone than tot grandpa do it It hurts btm to stoop over, hfa 'tack's so lame.!' "It won't take ns long if we work lively," said Charlie. "I aar, Joe, you're net doing your share. I put in four sticks to your one." "I've got a headache, and tbrowiag the wood makes it worse," said Joe. "Oh, bother your headache! You had one last Tuesday night, when mother wanted you to help clean the cellar; but you got over it m time to go to Tom Laey'a to see the charades." "It sfser ache," inafated Joe, angrily, "and it will take na at toast three bourn to get all thfa wood in. I eaa't do aay mere, no matter what you ay." And be sank down on the saw-buck, with a rueful oooatoaaaoo. "What's the matter with Joe?" atwed grandpa, coming up the path from the stable. "He says he haa i swered 2fod "Is it the real, genuine article, or one warranted to laat only until the wood fa all in?" asked grandpa, turning to Joe with a good-natured emile. "It aches, aa if it would split," said Joe, looking very much out of temper. "Well, that's too bad. Let the wood alone, then. I don't want vou to work if vou' re sick.

The ether evening I sat ta me perfac af a targe hotel on the shore of Long Island. There were a aambsr of children ta the parlor, playing qntotly, and apparently having a dettghtal time. The boys had their hats in their hands, as from time to hfaae they raa out on the piaaaa. There was' some ' thing about all these children that toU you at once that they belonged to refined homes. It was not their clothes, for they were well, but dm ply, dreased. it was tne way they treated each other. There waa no pushing or crowding. They were playiag a game that amused them all, and. caused a good deal of laughter among thenaaelvea, which did not become boisterous. They bad selected a corner of the parlor where they would attract the leant attontioa, and be most secluded. No matter bow often the boy entered the room, they removed their ham the moment they entered the door. They brought chairs for the little ghfa, who took them with a gentle "thank you" and a smile. One girl oama ia some time after the game was started. Af soon as she name in, aooupfa of the boys got right up nnd offered thek ofaairiT She looked at them, and. thourh I waa too far away to what she said, I knew she was politely protesting against interrupting ths game or disturbing the boys. One af them motioned toward a recent oheir ta a distant part of the room. The Mttle girl sat down, aad ha omitod the chair into the circle and ant down ta ths space made for him.
