THE QUICKSAND. .Stoner hail W-en a Texan ranger and could hold hi own extremely well in that rousrh frontier country. lie liad carried oft" a pretty r-iiatiish wife from the Chihuahua reirinn years liefon"! had brought her to the rocky Califoruiun coast and had purchased a K't tiers claim and an old adolie hoine Juilt by a Spanish hidalgo half a century ago. He farmed, rained cattle on tne un used government lands and kept a sort of rude hotel, for several mountain trails joined at that point the broad highway which led from tlie county sent, mA) miles south, to the northern settlements in the pineries. He had five daughters, too, the youngest, Theresa, known as Tessa, a girl of 17. That added to the attraction, and al most every night the dark eyed, half Spanish girls sang and danced, and old Stoner managed to hear all of the news that was afloat, and somehow most of the - coin of the re gion ultimately found its way into his pockets. Ho was a deep one, that same Kphrauu Stoner, quiet, s'.y and patient, secret in his nc-thods and dead ly in his blow. Stoner' s wife and his four elder laughters were uneducated and in com plete subjection to his will, but Tessa had more brains and energy thau all the others put together and quite as much beauty, so that the old Texan ranger took a ceruiin pride in her and had even allowed her to attend a distant school for two years. This midnight, when as I have said, the story begins, a person of prying dis posiiion might have discovered sever al interesting ix-rfonaanee in progress around the Slouer adobe. On the north side of the house, quite in the shallow, Tess was leaning from her window, conversing in low tones with a blonde fair haired and sturdy young man on horseback. "Tom, you do not know my father. He is no t the careless, warm hearted man you supjKtse. I must admire his ability, but that is all. I warn you, Tom, there never was a more danger ous man. He may be where he hears every word you say, but if lie is he will not speak to you or me about it, bi:t if he knew that you cared for me he would lie your enemy, lie has others plans for me. He wants me to masry for money." Tom Warren had once been the whool teacher in the mountain district, miles away, where Tessa had been one of his pupils. Thrown upon his own re-'ources from his childhood, he had developed a strong, earnest character and was already so iMipular in the coun ty that he had just In-en elected slieri!' although the youngest man on the ticket. While Tessa and her lover were talk ing a Mvne of far different nature was lcing enacted on the south of the old adolic, which overlooked a deep ravine and a camp of five or six men in a field Klow. For several years these men liad hjietit their summers there, osteii iy hunting, fishing and exploring the couiitry with their dogs and guns. K very one knew them, and most per sons liked them. Tessa did not. Stoner, though it was midnight, sat in the moonlight on an old rawhide 4-hair, outside the door, smoking his lil"e and meditating a tough, sinewy, grizzled night owl of a man. "That infernal knuckle-head at the -aiup ought to have rejorted ln-fore Jiow," he thought to himself as he smoked. A man came out oftlie bush and jKtke dcfk-rcutially : "Capfn, good cvenin !' "You're late." "Dick was shot." "Well?" 'Just as the driver throwed otT the bx. Shot by a passenger in the neck and shoulder. "He mustn't stay here to get us into trouble. Take a boat ond carry him to the jHMUt and leave him in the cave Ihere." "Yes, capt'tt." "How much wo abroad ?" "AlKMitvtKWforlhe Josephine mi ll :T." "Send it over the clifT before morn ing, and I'll divide it up soon, but you In- caft-fuL That new siieritTis a smart "All right, t-apt'n," and the man went hack to tli ihjhj. A moment later, jui as Stoner was jroingback into the house, there was lUeslow thud of a horse's hxf and Tom Warren, tla young tucjitTftMe down the trail, arouud the corner of the old adobe building iuto the main -outitry road that lay to the west. He had at last yieJdel to Tessa's entreaties to "go, go thix minute, Torn." Impassible as Stoner was, he felt a little startled by the wghL "Where in the devil did youfome fr.ia, sheriff? Anything up iu tlii part of the couutry ?" "Oh, no, not a particle. I've beeu visiting my old school iu the moun tains and tok the short trail home, aIois'ii Caym-os." This was plausible enough, for time was a blind trail that entered the can- yen lust cat of the angle of the house. Si ncr Mi a little relieved. "Won't you put up and stay with us a!l night T ' "Xi, Mr. Stouer, t must go down to R-straltasee friends there. Jts only au hour' a' ride." "That tietti it," thought Stoner. 'Piety of stout fellows to Use as sher ilTs drjuiies there, lie has pro!ably tiuub!ed on traces and is going for Iti'lp." He kai and smoked and siip-IK-d his baud Lack under his o wt. "Kasy to shwwt tbe feJh)W," he said to LiiaselL "Well, good by, Stoner," said War ren suddenly. "I supjjjse tbe beach road is a good as ever ?

Ston.-r took an extra swig of band v and went to his r-st. Warren rode ' lowa Hi ? ruged hill to the bottom of the ravine, then turned seuward, and at last the wide gulch op ncd broadly to the shore of the Pacific. The clifls were from .V) to o! feet high and full of wavewom caves. Warren drew rein on the K-ach, and for fully ten minutes watched theoceau sway and rise. His thoughts throblietl with dreams of Tessa. I le would take her away from her narrow and hurtful surroundings. He would lilt her into happier and better circum stances. He would force Stomr's consent, marry her and make her hap- He rode rapidly south, and iu half an hour the mouth of the Tom apioar ed, in the midst of sand dunes, break ers rolling in and the steady river (low ing out. Here was the long sandbar, ten feet wide and stretching across hardly an inch higher than the wat ery surface. Warren was lcginniug to have some suspicion of Stoner, but not such as to lead him to doubt the simple directions he had received. The sand liar looked safe, but within a few days the sea, as Stoner knew, had swept it mightily, toru out the long compacted bar and placed instead a quivering hums of quicksand, so treacherous that not even a light footed rabbit could cross with out being swallowed up and dragged liodily down. Warren rode swiftly forward. He had crossed sand bars hundred. of times. Some horses would have been wiser, but the animal he rode had liccn bred in the valley. The appr.wch to the liar was hard for a few rods as he galloped on. Sudden ly, in one he-art breaking, breathless destvnt, noiseless, but unutterably dreadful, Tom Warren's horse went down, down, and the soft, slimy sand came up to his mane. He shrieked out that ghastly cry of appeal and agony that a desjierate, dying horse will sometimes utter. Tom knew the peril. He had thrown his feet from the stirrups and drawn them up at the first downward throb, hut the sand U-gan to grasp him also. He threw himself Hat on his breast and tore himself hxse from the poor ani mal, over whose back the mingled sand and water were running, as it rolled from side to side iu ineJ'eetual 'sirug gies to L-scaite. Tom spread himself out over as much surface as jHissible, but s.lowly resist-les.-ly, the mighty force drew him downward. The hard lvach was only ten feet distant, but practically the chasm was impassable. He felt the horse sinkout of sight. The sand gril ped his own knees and arms, bis thighs and shoulders. I'p to this time he had not shouted. What was the use? Who would Lie passing along that lonely road? Then he thought of Tessa and of life. He raised his voice in a clear, strong shout for help. Far oil along the deep ravine came a cry in response, and a horse's hurrying feet. "Tom, where are you?" "Here Tess. Ifcin'tcome too near. llut the mountain girl knew the danger. Creeping down stairs for a drink of water, she had heard her father's words to Warren, and run ning to the iiasture, caught her js.-t horse, sprang ujioii his unsaddled Lack seized a riata as she passed the stable and galloicd at the utmost sjieed down the ravine. She sprang to the ground and tos.-ed the rawhide rope to the one arm he held almve the sand. Warren thought his arm would break, but slowly, re luctantly, painfully, the sand gave up its prey. "Your father told me to take this rvwid, Tessa," said the young slientl". "Yes, I know that, and I heard one of the men tell him today that bar was swept out." There was a long silence between them. "Tessa g: with me to San Luis," said Warren, "ana let us lie married. ' And Tessa went. Old Stoner heard the news a few days later. Within an hour he had "retired from business." The camp was broken up, the hunter disappear ed, mysterious lights Hashed at iiiter als all night from the points of the cliii; and the next day old Stoner him self disappeared leaving Lis family, the ranch and the live stock. It v. as said that he mack' the hoi of fie way to Mcxieo,and finally toSouth America.

We were rattling along lietwctn 15altimore and Washington at a sixty-mile-an-hour gtiit, witli a sprinkling of ladies and congressmen and politi cal heelers and sporting gentlemen and other odds and end of everyday life through the parlor ear from New York. In the smoking compartment, says a w riter hi the X. Y. llintld, I had been indulging in my Ixt cigar and listening to the usual "tales of a traveler," the principal story teller being a robust, red-faced gentleman of middle age, with merry blue eyes and a tendency to wink. He enter tained us immensely modestly at first, then in the last miles farly mo nojioli.iiig the conversation. The smoking-room was packed with mous ed listeners and the doorway blocked by those who couldn't sit down. "Yes," said the story teller, niu ingly, when the laugh had gone around over his last yarn, "ihey have some all-fired pretty women in Washington. Now, I saw one sitting back in our car there a little woman with big brown eyes all alone, probably on her way to Washington with a claim or something notice her?" Three of us said we had and the two men at the door sauntered back to verify the description. For my self, I remembered the bright eyes, modest dress and demure expression of the little woman who had lieen sitting alone all the way almost op posite my chair. She had appeared to lie immersed in an interesting; story when she was not nodding or looking at the dancing lights without as the train rushed by. "Well gentlemen' continued ths merry-maker, "that is just the sort of womin to suit me jieachy checks, brown eyes, red lip and nice teeth. I must make her smile if only to give her a chance to show those teeth I must, indeed !" He arose from his place and fleck ed the cigar ashes from his clothes in a business-like way, while we roar ed witli laughter. To our astonish ment he immediately passed out into the narrow hall ami straight back to the other end of the car, where the lady sat with her back to us. A mus niurof disapproval went round, but it was half expected he would not persevere in hi impertinent intention. I hastily slipped into my :ic:'.t. "Oh, I beg your pardon," said In to the lady somewhat abruptly. "You're rather a pretty woman to lie tra veling alone, excuse me lor s-pcaK- ingtoyoiiin this way, but I would rea'ly like to make your acquaintance ! (Joing to Washington, I presume So am I." Tbe lady looked up sharply at first, then blushed a riy hue a blush, however, qmcKiv chased awav lv a charming smile. The teeth were jn-r- feet, and the merry gentleman turned around as if to call us to witns. With others I felt hot at the impu dence of the man, and one of the par ty rushed out to call the conductor. Still, as t'.ic lady smi!ed and exhibit ed great presence Of mind, there didn't really seem lo im any immediate oc casion for intefercnee. "What's vour name?" inquired the merry gentleman ; "inaybt? I can lie of assistance to you. There's my card. Yours truly always ready to help lovely woman hi distress. The is a inxid hotel. Ah ! going there? So am I." I'p to this time the lady hadn't said a word, simply alternating In-twecn blushes and smiles, while evcryliody else in the car looked daggers and pistol. Uutshegot an opening here, and catching hold of the merry gentleman's mit, said, with a good-natured petu lance : "Now, do stop, John ! If you don't quit this fooling I'll never travel with you again. Sit down ! You've left me here all alone fr oi th? ;n :n Mit we set foot oa the car, and now you arc making game of nr?.
