He waa HON than Huppy overjoyed lit receiviug Commission to secure sohm prairie picture to illustrate aa article in tlie m i dsn nime r number ef the RtSiflUiifM. The editor had given him his orders and after three days' ride wont ward he wm amid s country of stretching prairies, sod cabins and slow-Sowing rivers. The settlers intent on the pressing and inevitable "business of life" considered him an euigma. They eould not conceive a reason why a handsome and apparently peosnsroes young msa with an indefinable city air in hU clothes and bearing should be among them. If mad little attempt to enlighten them, but went ateadilj on with his work searching for materials. Half his time was gone when one evening being in a new section of the prairie he heard the sound of a banjo coining from a sod-walled cabin, and sitting in the door appeared the player a strong-limbed, graceful daughter of the plains, the seemed create! for his purpose. There must be a woman in his sketches, ami here was the one he wanted. A few words gained the parents' permission to allow their daughter to assist him. ami he went ho ruts joyrnl. "There iiiuttt be nothing hut the level plain and the girl in the first one," said lie on the morrow as he, placed his newfound model before him. Her cheap broad-rimmed hat was held by two bright-colored riblwns, and the sanev faoe met his squarely. ' He thought Iks had "never met one who posed so magnificently and with such unconscious perfection. It was a river view the following day, a sod house the next, and Williams had wren freehand sketches in his portfol'.o, the seven, being those selected by liis bright-faced assistant and three of them reflecting Iier own lissome figure in altitudes that proved her not insensible of her most graceful postures. A "prairie schooner," the ponderous white canvas-covered wagon used by emigrants, was to figure in the next drawing, and the two mounted their ponies for a ten-mile ride, to a new settier's cabin lie had drawn the wagon into a little j ravine, well sheltered by a thick growth of eotUmwowdV. and there the work be- ! gau. The, model mounted the driver's seat, and. with hair a-tangie, wielded with miaaie rigor the long leather whip of a plainsman while the artist's lingers Sew over bis paper at ligbtalug speed. so latent were both on their task that neither saw a white sombrero j that showed between two saplings on i the bank; nor did they catch the gleam of the angry eye beneath that looked steadily and fiercely from one to the other. For several mtamtesthe intruder stared on the scene, and then the branches of the saplings quietly inter ! mingled "and only the swish of the heavy whip, the low whirr of the distant meadow-lark and the indistinct ripple of the stream broke the silence. Two days later the model was riding homeward along the bluJf by the riverside. She was thinking of the sordid bread-and-butter Hfe spent by the settlers around hor a life of drudgery. WHAT!

Her tender heart lost none of its Maaiti venose la thinking of the artist, and she hurried her pony faster. Her sew thought was to steal away and warn Williams. How she got through the evening she eould not toll, bat at last her parents had gone to bed and she was alone in the little aocteoom bailt on tht side of the cabin. She felt sure the marauders would not venture out oa their mission until late, but it was now nearly eleven o'clock, and she had are miles to go. She half regretted that she had not confessed all to her father, but be was a friend of Mott, and she feared he would prevent her taking any part In the evening's happenings. Hilently she crept front the eabm and saddled the best rMIng animal in the eorral. Another she led behind, and lashing both horses into a run set out through the night. It was no ordinary ride, and the fear that she might be too late urged her on. She remembered having beard Wil iauis say that hh host had gone to the county seat, forty miles away, and would be absent over night, and she trembled to think what might be the fate of the s ender artist ia the hands of the rough and heartless westerners. As she, passed the spot where she had beard the conference in the afternoon she involuntarily halted a moment, thinking t'je aaaae place might have been made an evening rendesvous. To her listening ear same the sound of horses' hoofs and of men's eager voices. She rave her horses rein and was off. So fast did she posh the ani mal she rode that the other eould not keep step, and a monsent later the bridle rein was jerked from her hand and the led home was loose. lie trotted leisurely away and a little cry of vexation and discouragement escaped the girl as site saw one portion of her plan defeated. But she rode faster now. The pony fairly flew over the level expanse of earth. The night was clear and still with an occasional glimmer of sheet lightning on the edge of the plain at the far horizon. After awhile as she looked back she saw outlined against the quick flashes the forms of horsemen a mile or two behind. The band gathered by Emmet Mott was on the way, and the results of previott visitaoof the ltand to persons un desirable to its members made the out look dark for anyone against whom their anzer wan turned. The flying figure on horseback plunged forward, skirting a piece of plowed ground, then through a Held of growing wheat, steauily Hearing the stvtst's boarding pisoe, where a light in the window was now plainly visible. The artist was more than satisfied with his quest after illustrative mate rial, lie flattered himself that he had correctly fathomed the thought of the pfeee it reesuVmec of the midsummer number. He was looking forward with considerable interest and promise of pleasure to the hoar when he should place his sketches before the editor. His work in the west was nearly over. and ho sat up far into the night petting delicate touches on the crude sketches and fitting them for nasi in spection. On this night when but one more sketch was needed he devoted his en tire energies to his work, only pausing now and then to lean back in his eheir and get a better view of the growing representation of prairie life before him. "Yes, she's eapabk of something," he spoke out, as if addressing some one, "if she only had half a eHsaee." He leaned far back, but thin time his eyes went beyond the paper and saw a rnddy laughing girl -f see, crowned with a wide-brimmed hat and long dark earls. Hark! a horse'a hurrying hoofs sound on the mm! outside. Nearer and nearer they come, and Williams, startled by the unusual visitation, rushes to the door, arriving just as his model spring ing from lier pony alights at his very feet. "Whstl y here?" he ejaculate. "Yes, and they're eomin'," is the ex cited answer. "They who de you moan by they?" "Mott and his gang a doaen of them, maybe.' "Well, what of itr "Why, they're eomin' here to hurt you, to drive you out of the settlement, to whip you. maybe. I heard 'ew talkabout it when I went home, aa' I stole out of the house to warn you." "Why should they hurt me?" "Xotbm, only you wear good clothes an'" and her self-eonsekiusneoa would allow her to go no further and tell that she was herself a cause of dieSJ nseSmnHBe "you must fly and take your pictures.

Hoth caught the sound of horses' hoof pattering on the hard prairie jod. The girl stepped to the eael and took from the npe.x his nrtmt's hat Kngerly she urged him to action and as veHemently he expostulated that it was not beroming in him, a man. But all the time the horsemen cume nearer. The girl made a final appeal in which her heart-love for him she sought to save burst forth; then hurrying across the room with a breath extinguished the lamp. There was a hurried consult Mon tn the doorway, Will ism felt a quick, hot kiss on his hand, and as the hand of perseeutors came near the house theyaaw a dark figure, identified as their vkstim by the stylish derby hat it wore, leap to the saddle C a wntttng pony nun with the speed of the wind atrifce out o. the plum.

Agaia and again the horses felt the cruel steel, but the rider abend waa well mounted and use their best endeavor the breach between pursuer and pursued did not booome narrower. The dark eabla waa left far behind and the stilt night gave no light other than that of the stars to guide their rare. A mile was pnnnd. then another and soothe, and the single rider was still dim and shadowy m the dietsnsa. "Make a rush, boys," shouted Mott, whose horse was becoming a little short of breath. "Cant eaten up," replied one of the men, "but will try, and then shoot" A sound of guttural approbation greeted this sentiment and the riders' bends felt for the men's hips where revolver were earried by half the party habitually, and by all on such an occasion as this. It would be strange ladeed if out of all the sbotathe company eould fire one or two should not reach the mark. But a spurt was to be tried first, aa bloodshed had not been on the party's programme until anger at being outstripped ia the race had inspired the thought Whoop and hurrah hurried the jsded ponies, spur sad boot-heel beat their flanks and the rider ahead appeared much aearer. They were plainly gsiamg. But the party had not noticed the direction ia which the chase led them. A rang curve had been taken and now they were near the river and the deeper portions of the ravines leading down to the valley. On a sadden the ground seemed to fall away from their horses' feet They were entering one of the ravines or

sloughs and the tall sunflowers sad dead stalks of the preceding year were thick and substantial. A ery broke from the figure ahead, sad in a monsent the pursuers were violently reining up their steeds to. keep from trampling on the outstretched forms of horse and rider. Mott leaped to tlie ground and forced his way through the heavy growth that hail tripped the fallen animal. Brushing aside the grass he stooped to lift the human form that lay before him ia the darkness. With a strange exclamation of surprise he straightened up and called to his comrades. "Itoys, come here. It's a gal!" Tenderly the rough hands lifted the graceful, womanly form, and as the face was revealed and Satinet reeog "noTt, rrs a alH nine it one whom he had hoped to his sweetheart and wife, he half staggered. "ufoehV. boys," he whispered, "supposin' we'd shot?" The settler's daughter was not seriously injured by her fall. They replaced the artist's hat on her heavy curls, and when the crisp night winds had blown on her face a moment she was herself again, and mounting her lamed and weary horse led the way toward her home, in which direction she had been riding when the fall eeace. Not a word had been spoken. The men silently followed their leader who rode beside the gkl. At last when the dark contours of the settler's cabin showed against the blue of the sky, Mett turned: "You can go now," were hie orders, "and we'll finish the job some other time." The girl's cool, aareastie voice followed his words: "You can go, too; you will never finish to-night's job, for Mr. Williams' work is done here and hr. is far away by this time." The lender, cowed by the words, followed hh dmpersing man, and the daring rider who had led the fruitless chase sought her low-roofed bed chamber again, half frightened, half giad over the night's happenings. Williams was indeed far away but not so far that he did not very soon call to thank his rescuer for her eeuraI was buying the midsummer num ber of his magasine of an uncommonly well-informed book-seller two months later. "Look there," said he, pointing to a handsome young woman with the carriage of a princess, though her gown was of a provincial type.

A Tasr Hon. O. Norr, the 'tariff joker of the New York Tribune, said recently in leeiy to a question from the Boston Question club: "I do not claim that the tariff oa wheat la the United Mates at the present time will have very much hearing upon its pries so long as we export that artieie largely. A tariff on that article just new has very little effect & was the tariff placed oa wheat with a view present time. Much, however, waa not the ease with most farm products. The nrodstetioa of wheat ia the United tkm, is glowing less and less each year. There has been a decline of about M.000 bushels a year for the past ten years. In a little while the entire product of wheat in the United Htatea will be consumed by our own people. The moment that that point la renehed the price of wheat will lie affected by an attempted importation of wheat from abroad. When that time arrives the farmers of this country will need protection against the cheap labor of Other republican authorities aree that the tar-Mais practically of no benefit to the farmer aa long as be has to sell a surplus abroad, but that it will benefit him when enough foreigners can be imported to, eat up his surplus here instead of in Europe, and they are doing their utmost to bring about this happy state of affairs. They watch with ghoulish glee our dwindling exports of agricultural p.-oduct, which were fTM.t4M.fiO0 in 1881. and have not reached 1041,000,000 since then. The American Economist of March 4, 1802, said: "We are approaching very close to the line where, under normal conditions, our own people will consume all our farmers' produce," and finds consolation in the fact that there pre "no more such vast tracts of unooeupied wheat la mis as were brought -under cultivation during the last twenty years." It thinks that "consistent protection for a few years more will place our farmers in a position where prices of their produce will be regulated independently of Iiverpool, Russia and India. When that time and it is close at. hand, farmers will be more than ever interested in protection." Again on April 8, 188-2, in trying to explain how a tariff eould benefit the farmer in the sale of his products, if the duty is not added to the cost, it made this explicit anil instructive reply,' "Ky creating a market for him to sell his products in, and by restricting domestic production and foreign imports, while continually increasing the demand for what he has to sell." What strange, distorted, selfish. unAmerican and unpatriotic minds these dyed-in-the-wool protectionists have. Instead of being proud that our farmers are able to produce more than0 we need and have a considerable surplus to sell abroad, they are ashamed of the fact that in spite of the thirty years existence of their system to build up manufactures by tearing down agriculture, our farmers are still able to sell something abroad. These "consistent protectionists" would have make all of his own tools himself with enough servants and poor relations to consume his entire prod net He would then be 'independent" 'and have a "home market" and enjoy that prosperity that ia the goal of protection ista. "mrt what is the meaning of protection? It means aa additional sixpence for each loaf; that ia the Irish of it If he had not the protection, the loaf would soil for a shilling, but if be has protection it will sell for one and sixpence. Protection is the Kngiish for sixpence; and what is more it ia English for aa extorted sixpence. The real meaning of protection, therefore, is robbery robbery of the poor by the rich."

Tariff items of late are not entirely Mtisfactory to republicans who worship at the shrine of "protection." The democrats have boldly declared that the system hi a superstition and a sham. The prohibitionists have done the name; and the alliance and labor platform will follow suit Something must he done to stern the thle netting in against "protection.'1 Republicans must not he content with trying to refute "free trade" and "Cobden club lies" but must do some aggressive work themselves. Sparred on by such sentiments as these Senator Hale, on July M, concluded to "force the fighting," and as a prelude to his challenge to the democrats, he recited that at "no time has so large a proportion of the American people been employed at no high wages and purchasing the necessities of life at so low prices as in the year 1801" Then he proceeds to shoot at the wicked democrats as recklessly as a boy with a new popgun shoots at flies. After firing bleak charges at "ltritish doe trine," "balance of trade," "high prices," "low wares." etc,, and triumphantly announcing that ''the republicans of the United states gladly accept the huue presented," he sat down ignorant of the fact that every shot had hit a hornet's nest Tariff reformers of late hare not been satisfied with mere theoretical reasoning, no matter how well founded their theories may be. They have taken the trouble to collect some facta to suhstaatiste their claims. Senator Vest happened to have a desk full of these nnrepublican things. He had. in the first plaee.twenty-omt samples of dry roods, coat linings, women's and children's dress goods, cotton sheets, corduroys, etc, prepared by a big Xew York merehant, showing that these goods, though the foreign price has declined since 18M, are sold higher now than then in some esses M per cent higher.

After he had poured out enough of these facts to fill thirty pages of the Congressional Record, and the smoke of battle began to clear away, henator Hsle found courage to any to Vest that they had trusts in Kngland also and that "before this debate closes, the demonstration will be given to the senate showing his inaccuracy-" Vest inquired "why not give it now?" But Hale's ammunition was out and he waa compelled to retreat saying, "that was not my original purpose." Perhaps he will bring more ammunition and renew the battle. Perhaps he will prepare a list of A0 increases of wanes in protected industries since the Mckinley bill became a law. Perhaps he will write up one hundred trusts in England that have raised prices there often from fit to M per cent and that sell goods cheaper to foreigners than at home. Perhaps be will produce several hundred foreign manufacturers sad merchants to testify that they are regularly paying our tariff taxes. Perhaps he will be able to show that we are making all of our own tin plate and that the price is lower than ever before. Perhaps he will demonstrate that a duty on moonshine would build up a green cheese industry here. Just now, however, he admits his wenV-nees mm lack of facts on these points. 31 MH VmmUt. The American Economhtt whkh boasts of being the proteetiot-isU'Hible, sahl JHncjlT, 1-' "We bars received a cop of a petition signed by nearly nine-tenths of the wool manufacturers of the United States asking the senate not to pass the Springer free-wool bill. It h a strong document and riddle in a masterly way tlie fallacies of the freewool fanatics." The Anveriesn Wool ami Cotton Reporter, which has almost as strong inclinations toward the protective tariff as the American Economist but which wishes to do justice to all of its sub Meribers, said June , 1WM: "Out good friends of the Boston Journal ar wrong in stating that those manufacturers who have not signed the remonstrance of the 'National Association oi Wool Manufacturers' are too few and inconspicuous to require attention.' Ia the state of Massachusetts 100 woolen manufucturers signed the remonstrance and SOS refused to sign." Then, after giving a list of sixteen manufacturers of this 20A, the reporter says, "many of these are very important manufnetwera;" and then adds that "an analysis of. New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island and other states would show similar results to those above indicated. It fa true that very many manufacturers are so weary of tariff agitation that they prefer to endure manifest evils rather than submit te any farther change of duty immedi ately." These two statemeata one from a political and the other from a trade paper that tries to voice the opinion oi ha constituents seem to be out of touch, in fact, out of sight of each either. Addressing a special meeting of the Brussels Syndieal union on the 10th of May, M. Auguate Couvreur took np the questions (1) whether it was possible to conciliate the conflict ing interests of aa individual who nat u rally desired free trade with every one, nut protection for himself, by any tariff that could be devised? or (S) whether H were not better to prefer another solution and protect no one? He took aa examples Belgium, Switzerland and Holland, and traced out their physical impedimenta to industrial development and the progress they had made ia spite of them. Summing up, he observed: "In the tabic of the world's commerce three free trading countries the lead, and in proportion to the liberty on their frontiers. Holland, which has duties of from 5 to 5 per cent ad valorem only, has a business oi 1,009,000 francs per 1,000 of her population; Switaeriand of slS.OM francs; Belgium of 4M,000 franca; the United Kingdom of 1.W0 francs; France and Germany, protectionist countries, follow far behind, the first with 105,000 franc amd the second with 1AT.040 francs net 1,000 inhabitante. The United States then come with 114,000 francs, Italy 97,000 francs, Austria 08,000 franca and Russia 90,000 francs. Comutercisl freedom has delivered us from the era ot famines.
