SPUR-THRUST.
BY KENNETH BROWN
■ 1 ROUGH tlie half open door,
j Donald M ichener heard her
| plainly speaking to her father:
"Will you tell Mr. Michencr
that I do not care to see him, and that
1 <lo not care to have him call on me
again.''
"Hut, Christine," her father protested
doubtfully, "I can't carry a message like
that unless the man's insulted you—and
then," he ended grimly, "I should carry
more than a message."
As M ichener appeared in the doorway
Mr. Laing started toward him. It was
from her father Christine got her tem
per; but she stepped resolutely between
them. "He isn't worth it, father," she
said, turning her back on Michencr.
Michencr was sorry. He walked out
of the room in such a cold rage, mur
der would not have abated it. When
the primal man is accused he would as
iief fight his host in his own house as
any one else. Rage and mortification
so filled his heart that he had no room
for grief, though he had lost the girl
he had tried long to win. And the in
justice of it! For it was unjust, the
measure of punishment meted out to him.
The next day Christine went riding
with Kerningham. She was in a bad
humor. She was angry with herself for
the way she had treated Donald Mich
ener; she was more angry at him, be
cause of the way she had treated him;
and she was most angry at Kerningham
for daring to ride beside her in Mich
erer's place and to put in his smug re
marks when she was not in the humor
for smug remarks. In passing it may
be said that an unprejudiced person
would not have called Kerningham's re
marks any smugger than Michener's. In
deed, they were probably the more sen
sible of the two, at least when talking
to Christine. Unfortunately, no preju
diced person was judge, and Mr. Kern
ingham's sentence was all ready to be
pronounced should a suitable occasion
arise. But no suitable occasion arose.
Christine sulked; Christine was sarcas
tic; Christine was rude; Kerningham
was imperturbably polite and good
natured.
"Are you tired to-day?" Kerningham
asked, after an unusually snappi h speech
of the lady's.
"Riding never makes me tired,'' she
answered curtly.
"It might be the company," he ven
tured.
"Haven't I been perfectly polite? How
dare you say that?"
"I thought perhaps the contrast be
tween your humble servant and your us
ual cavalier might have something to do
with it," he went on placidly.
"I suppose you mean Mr. Michener. I
certainly am not longing for him. I hate
him!" she blazed. "I shall never speak
to him again!"
"Indeed! He is more fortunate than
I had supposed."
It was Kerningham's one reprisal of
the afternoon.
"Oh, I'm tired of riding so slowly!"
Christine cried.
"Let us ride faster, then."
Almost at the first word Christine
thrust her spur into her horse's side, and
at the last Kerningham slapped his horse
with his crop to try to catch up with
her. It was not very dignified, this tear

ing along the road at a breakneck speed,
particularly with the girl two lengths
ahead, her horse showering him with
gravel and dirt at every jump and gradu
ally drawing farther away. Kerningham
swore a little swear to himself which,
considering his good nature all through
the ride, was no more than his due, and
cracked his horse again with his crop.
Michencr, out riding by himself, heard
the rataplan of horses' hoofs far down
the road and looked back, llis ride had
not been a pleasant one either. Ile was
on a half-broken thoroughbred and his
temper was not in the elastic .state that
it should have been for training a high
strung filly.
At the sound of horses running be
hind him, Michener looked around and
saw a girl on a black horse flying up
the street, her escort tearing along be
hind her.
As the running black came abreast of
Michener his heart seemed to stop still
for a moment as he saw that the girl
was Christine. Then he froze into re
sentment again as he noticed that she
sat perfectly collectedly on the horse
and appealed to him in no way. As a
matter of fact, she had not in the least
lost control of her horse and was only
working off her temper in this way.
Michener's thoroughbred, with her
long stride, easily kept pace with the clat
tering run of the round little black Chris
tine was on.
"I beg your pardon," Michener said,
as stiffly as the circumstances permitted,
"but is your horse running away?" He
tried to raise his hat formally, but it
blew off before he reached the brim.
Christine gave him a side-glance.
"Yes," she answered; "stop him for
me."
She dropped the reins and dug her
spur into her horse's flank, prodding him
viciously.
The horse sprang more madly for
ward.
Michener was obliged to spur his own
mare to keep up with the other's sudden
jump. Then he had to use both hands
to keep his filly, her racing blood afire,
from running away from Christine's poor
little conestoga. He soon had his hand
on Christine's reins, however, and strove,
first by steady pulling, and then by jerk
ing, to slow her horse down, at the same
time trying with his right hand to re
strain his own filly so that she would act
as a drag on the other.
Suddenly, as the two leaders swept
around a slight bend in the road, they
saw beneath a railroad trestle three hun
dred yards ahead, two four-horse teams,
stopped for a friendly chat, completely
blocking the road. Both riders realized
the danger instantly. Christine reached
for the reins she had dropped and began
sawing her horse's mouth as hard as she
could, but she was a little frightened and
forgot to take her spur from the black's
flank. Michener glanced at the two sides
of the road. There was barbed wire on
the right, and a paling fence on the left
—no escape on either side, and the de
liberate teamsters only gathering up their
reins to move out of the way.
Michener moved his left hand up the
reins of Christine's horse till he got a
firm hold of the rings of the snaffle.
Then kicking his feet out of his stirrups,
,he dropped his own reins, leaned over
PICTOHIAL MAGAZINE AND COMIC SECTION
and caught the other horse's nostrils in
his right hand, and then threw himself
off his horse. The filly, relieved of his
weight, Hew on ahead, shied as she saw
the teams, and then with a beautiful
oblique jump cleared the barbed wire at
the right and kept on across country.
Christine's horse made one terrible
plunge and nearly fell when Michener
swung from his saddle, then, with his
wind cut off by the desperate grip on his
nose, and impeded by the weight at his
head, as Michener dragged from it, he
gradually slackened his speed, so that
when he struck one of the leaders of
team headed toward them, though
horse and girl and man went down in a
heap, there was little damage done.
Michener had the breath knocked out of
him, and could only gasp wildly for
breath, while Christine picked herself up,
and laughing half hysterically, caught her
BROWNSVILLE'S QUEER WATER WORKS.
Ijriflj 15- rTflrfl ; •< . r "' . < -
1 I % I .a i
BROWNSVILLE, the metropolis of
Southwest Texas, is one of the
most picturesque towns in the
country. Being just across the
Rio Grande from Mexico, and four-fifths
of its 7,000 inhabitants being Mexicans,
there is a queer admixture of character
istics of both nations. The town has no
waterworks and 110 wells. All the water
used is drawn from thp river in barrels
horse, which had scrambled to his feet
and stood trembling like a leaf.
Kerninghain came up, sawing 011 his
reins, his horse bouncing along with stiff
forelegs stuck out to stop himself.
"Wasn't it great?" Christine cried,
half laughing, half sobbing. "I was spur
ring my horse all the time Mr. Michener
was tugging at his head."
The next day Michener was sitting in
his office, still feeling the lassitude that
comes after great excitement, when Mr.
Laing came in. Both flushed a little, re
membering their last interview, and the
younger man interrupted the other's
words of gratitude before they were half
spoken. "Oh, it wasn't anything," he
said, with embarrassment. "I really
didn't know it was Miss Laing at first."
The words did not sound gracious, but
Michener only wanted to make Mr.
Laing feel under as little obligation to
him as possible. They talked for a few
minutes 011 indifferent subjects, and then
Mr. Laing said, after an apologetic
cough:
"There's a favor I want to ask of you.
Christine wants you to come up to din
ner to-morrow night."
"If you don't mind, I really don't be
lieve I'll come," Michener answered.
"She wouldn't have wanted me before—
before this little episode, and it really
isn't any reason for asking me."
"I know exactly how you feel," Mr.
Laing said. "But—but —to tell you the
truth," he went on, a little helplessly,
"Christine told me not to come home
without your promise to come, and I
really haven't the nerve to go back with
out it. You wouldn't like to make me a
homeless wanderer at my age, would
you ?"
Michener laughed. "If you put it that
way I can hardly refuse." Having saved
Christine's life, he could hardly deny her
a favor.
Michener dressed for the dinner that
night without any pleasurable anticipa
tion. He still had the apathetic feeling
that follows great physical and mental
strain. He was rather surprised when he
arrived at the Laing's house to find that
a number of other persons had been
asked, and comforted himself with the
thought that there would perhaps be less
embarrassment in the larger number. To
his considerable annoyance, his exploit
was generally referred to, although
Christine herself did not speak of it.
"My! how grand it is to know a
hero!" little Miss King cried, rushing up
to him after he had moved away from
Christine. "Was that really all true they
put in the paper?"
Christine came up to them. "You arc
to take me into dinner," she said to
Michener, "unless you think you've more
than done your duty by me already and
would rather take Miss King."
"No," piped Miss King. "The poor
man shan't be obliged to snub me. Mr.
Kemingham, you take me in—since I
can't have the hero."
Kerningham sat on Christine's left, and
she spoke more to him than to Michener
during the first part of the meal. At
last, when all the others were busy talk
ing, she turned to him, and said in the
undertone, which itself is a compliment.
"Did you find your mare all right yes
terday ?"
"Yes," he answered.
"And will you let me ride her some
day?"
"In order that you may run away from
me, as you did from Kerningham?"
Michener asked. "She's a little wild, and
I. don't believe she would be quite safe for
you. She got the idea yesterday that
she had thrown-me and was boss of the
ranch, and that makes a thoroughbred
rather flighty.''
Christine cast down her eyes. "I
thought I saw you ahead yesterday, and
f wanted to speak to you. That's why
I made niy horse run."
mounted on wheels and hauled by bur- i
ros. A constant procession of these wa
ter carts is to be seen at all hours of
the day in the streets. The price of
water is twenty-five cents, Mexican, or
twelve and one half cents "currency" a ]
barrel. Brownsville is largely owned by (
James Stllman, president of the National ]
City Bank of New York, whose father t
laid out and owned the town site in 1840. '
Michener smiled.
'What arc you laughing at?" she asked
with some pique.
'"lt's an unusual way for a lady to ad
dress a gentleman, isn't it?"
"The circumstances weren't usual," "
she answered, again looking down.
There was a little pause in the general
conversation, and Christine turned to
Kerningham on the other side.
"Have you bought yourself a swifter
horse yet, so that you can do heroics,
too?" she asked, a trace of mockery in
her tone.
"Miss I.aing has just been confiding
to me," Michener put in, "that she made ;
her horse run away 011 purpose. Doubt
less she'll give all her friends a chance
to get in the papers, one after the
other."
"It really was your chance yesterday,
Mr. Kerningham," Christine said gaily.
"I don't know that you deserve an
other.''
"Do give me a little one, some time
when I'm ready for it. Donald snatched '
that one quite unfairly," he pleaded.
"You'll have to look out for him; he's I
a regular bandersnatch. And now that
he's got into the papers, I expect he I
won't do a thing but roam around seek
ing what maidens he may devour—l .
mean, rescue." |
As the hum of conversation rose again,
Christine, her head half turned toward
him, said to Michener—he sitting by her
with the feeling that she was always ridi
culing him—"Shall I apologize for the
way I spoke to you the other day?"
"I wouldn't have you trouble yourself
so," lie answered, rather ungraciously.
She flushed scarlet. "I beg your par
don! Next time you see my horse run
ning away ynu can let him go."
"Very well." Then, half smiling, he
added: "Unless I venture to persuade
myself that it is another invitation to
converse with you."
"I'lll sorry I told you that," she said
defiantly. "I thought—l imagined ——" J
she softened a little—"that you would |
meet .me half way."
He looked down into her eyes, forget
itng the others at the table, though in- 1
stinctively speaking so that she alone <
could hear. "Don't you think you de
serve to come a little more than half -
way ?"
"Shall I conic all the way?" The cor
ner of her lips went up into a smile.
-Michener smiled, too, without an
swering.
Suddenly Christine rose to her feet,
her guests looking up in surprise. "La
dies and gentlemen," she began formally, ti
"you know you were asked here to-night "
to meet a hero whose courage is ex-
ceeded only by his modesty." 0
Again the mocking note in her voice 1
made Michener's cheeks burn with re
sentment. |
After a slight oratorical pause she con
tinued : "You have all read the details
of his noble act in the paper, and you
may appreciate them the more by learn
ii»K that the said details were not sup
plied to the press by the hero himself,
but by another. I have this on the au
thority of Mr. Kerningham."
Christine shopped a minute and her
guests laughingly applauded her. She
hesitated an instant and glanced down
at Michener. The color left her face
as she went on, the note of raillery gone
from her voice:
"Two days ago I was very rude to
Mr. Michener. 1 want to ask his for
giveness, and—and " a wave of color
swept over her face, "to announce our
engagement, if"—she turned toward iiiin
with a little appealing gesture of her
hands—"if he will have me."'
Why the Bear Can't 7 ake Off His

The inspector asked the hoys of the
fichool he was examining: "Can you take
your warm overcoats off?"
"Yes, sir," was the response. "Can the
bear take his warm overcoat off?" "No,
sir." "Why not ?"
There was silence for awhile, and then
a little boy spoke up. "Please, sir, be

tons are."
