$HE TASKMASTER.
By Mildred I.
All day do we—
Women and anxious men-—
8it at the mercy of the tireless loom.
Threads bright as sun on seg
And gray as rain
Slip from the restless skein
Into a pattern that we do not see.
Qur narrow room
Echoes to flashing shuttle and whirl

The deafened soul has little
feel
How fair the fair world is
With sun and bloom.
McNeal,

The taskmaster
Sits watchfully alone.
Bear this: and the pale dame puts
smile on cheek
To hide the grief in her:
Do this: and soon
The rough drudge fronts the noon:

Pridied, riatas coiled and hung on
the pommels and the latigos left so
that one pull would tighten them suf-
ficiently for the journey. Anxiously
we waited, loafing around the corri-

horses, discussing the prospects of the
hunt from every.standpoint and rélat.
Ing Incidents and accidents of prev-
lous hunts engaged in by different in-
dividuals,
About 10 o'clock Don Jose put new
iife into the circle by shbuting out of
the door of the house, “A las armas,
muchachos, adelante!” ("To arms,
boys, forward!”) In less time than
It takes to tell every man was in his

looking cavalcade could not have been

ened intently for a moment, then gaid
in an undertone: “The old woman
hag arrived, sons.” El Buerro wanted
to know how he knew. The old man
replied: “The dog that eats does not
bark. Don’t you hear the coyotes
yellint? In other words, the bear is
eating horse, the coyotes want to eat
horse, but are afrald of her, so stand
off and yell at her. If the bear was
not there the coyotes would be eating
and could not yell.”
“Well,” sald the burrero, “that
to guess after you know how.”
Every man shook nis feet in the
stirrups to see if everything was
tight and Don Jose, pressing his gray
with the calves of his legs and slight
ly leaning forward, went off with a
bound like a shot, yelling: “Santiago!
At the bear, boys! Don't be cowards
or gourd sellers.”
Every man followed at like speed
over the mesa, down the steep slope
to the bajeo, hooting and yelling like
demons. In the dim light we could
see a massive form which looked to
me as [ got nearer more like my small
boyhood’'s idea of an ogre than

ogre resolved itself into an enormous

cubs were on thelr haunches

We all expected her to stand her

the same sound that a large hog would
