BY ALICB MACGOWAJf. ij.- BACE rENDLE- s'iTON rode into i1 vnlS. inmi ifgcd lhrhtly down ; from her pony, - and dhonted onc.fi or twice, thereby discovering that . there was nobody on the place, even old F-elipa having thought well to give herself a holiday while her younsr '. mistress i was away. So Grace un- fiutlencd the Tmrcelii from the tie- utrings of her cowgirl saddle, tossed them into the kitchen, and, taking her wonv's bridle over her arm, went to the corrnl to put him np herself. Grace had been but one year fro, the conventionalities, refinements and restrictions of an Eastern home, where, .i nil niiin-iirancef. she was a thor- ongh-tfuins society belle. Sho had come to llnndnll. ono ot tno Texaspan hnudlo counties, to keep house on the .T-X ranch for her brothers, Jack and Theodore ; and she was a more fear less riiler, a better rustler and a moro complete all-round ranc h woman than most Texas girls who had been born to the life ; to say nothing of her lively u joymeut of tho whole thing. .. As sho strolled down to the corri, the bud, which was low behind her, pent a shrift of light against the spent, panting niilo of an upfaruiliar pony tied so 1 at it blocked the opening to the c.icral; an.l before sho oould take another step a voice from within called Sereelv : " Who nro you? Stop where yon are, you cursed butchers! I've got Vwelve shots here for you 1 " Grace's first feminine impulse was W flee to tho hou- and barricade herself a-inst a lunatic. But the speech was that of ono parsned rather than an aggressor; then there was a bit ol rising anger nt being ordered out of her corrnl. " Who's in there? " she called sharj ly; "I want to put my pony np." At the sonnd of tho girlish voice a hand with n Ions, bloody scratch across tho knuckles, reachod onf against tho ptrange pony s side ana pnnhed him back, and a tall, yonng follow stepped or rather staggered out before her. Ho was covered with both Iu6t And mud, and tho edgo of a blood-stained handkerchief showed beneath his cow boy hat, which ho made a faint move ment to raise. But even in nch fl ulicrht. and despito the suspicions man; tier of his introduction, there was the well-nigh ineffaceable indication of thf well-bred man about him, "O, I'm sorry ; did I frighten you But I'm at the end of my string. 1 m John Farris from over in San Miguel County over in New Mexico.

"They will hang me as sure an they put hands on mo, if they non t shoot me n soon a thoy get in pistol range You've oulv my word for it, but, i you can, help mo help me quick. You'll be glad of it. 'I know who vou are," said Grace. "This i the J-T ranch. I'm the sister of Jack Pendleton, who was np buy ing rruttlo of vou last month. I'm the onlv soul on the place to help yon What shall I do what can I? Tell no nuicklv." "It is tho tracks," said Ferris, 1 see my pony's got a broken shoe, and I haven't come across crass. Pve been in roads fer ten miles ever since got across Deaf Smith, and I've left them a clear trail to follow. If there was any one here to ride the pony on and get rid of him somehow, and you would bo willing to hide me, they'd go past, eventually." "How much titno havo we?" askete Grace; then, as sho looked at him, olinging white and faint to the corral gate, "O, coma iu the house, and lie 4owu t I'll do something." "So, I'll bo all right," answered V arris. "I'm not much hurt. They'r about two hours behind me, I think I threw them ont that much this morning." "Two hours," said Grace, looking at tho pony ; then a thought flashed across her. "I can do both," said she, "go and get rid of the in a way to blind them, and get back in time to hide or dis guise you somo way, safely. And 1 can talk to them and get them away. Now go and rest," and she jumped npon Bush once more, caught hit pony's bridle, which he tossed np to her, and hurried away as fast as his tired littlo feet could go. "All the guns are in the office room," sho called back, as Farris's foot was on the door step. Then dust and distance swal Vwed her np. Farris went in to find food, which he ate like a famished man ; then thej ornns, which he inspected, loaded ana laid handy, from time to timo ques tioning, with haggard ye, tho traiT p which he had eomo. . It was a cruel, hard task Graco had get herself. Sho argned with her piti ful heart all tho way ; and averted her eyes from tho tired pony she was leading, lest tho eight of it should lunt hor purpose, ' She rode, with all speod possible, t the Pnnta de Agna, four miles south east of the ranch, and now running bank-full and furionn, on a red rise. Onoe there she tried to forco Farris's pony into the creek, and when he re fused to tnko water alone, she gu eased desperately at her chances, took her life in her hands, and drove ber own frightened and reluctant hone is, with spur and quirt dragging the other rfter her. i ' When she had gotten them both in to the stream edge the held Bush baek. and sent the other ahead with a sharp la of her onirt.

It was the act itself that hurt her so, tho act, that seemod like a treacherous murder ol the willing creature, that had helpeV yon through thus for. But sho had short time to dwell oa the matter or grieve herself over it. Is she came thundering down towar J the ranch house, at a full run, and bending low in the saddle, she saw, ibove a slight rise that hid from hei trail up which Farris had come, and hid her flying figure from anyon traveling it, a line of dust that indi cated several riders, approaching at moderate pace. - They were about a mile distant front the house, on the west, she th lame distance away on the southeast. Could she make it in time? Sh would she must! "God help me," she gasped ; Go defend the right I Come, Rush !" and bending yet closer over him, bracing herself firmly in tho saddle, sho dug the spur doop into Rush's side, at th same time bringing down the quirt, and aaain. with the whol yn strength of her arm. The horse, which was a good ona and whoso ability to make a splendid dash had given him his name, at sues savage and unaccustomed punishment hprang forward in pain and fright, pnd ran the milo that separated them from tho man whose life hung upor their help in long, convulsive leaps Sko a wounded deer. She dropped tho rein on his neck and threw herself off him as he stoppef it tho door ; and ho wheeled and rai Ko the corral, every limb shaking. "They're coming, she gasped, oj she staggered in to Farris, cramped, rembhng and dizzy irom r er terriuv ride. "I know it." ha saul, quietly. "G into the further room ; I'll fight it out this is cruelly hard on you." The food and rest hod steadied Sum', his face was washed, his wound hound up deoently ; and as he glanced ovci his arsenal, toho up to the height ol his six feet, and turnod a very whit mt manly and determined face toward her ; he was decidedly a figure topless woman's eve and touch a woman tyinpathies.

"Beg pardon, miss," said he, while several others stood behind him, "an of your men folks about?'" "So," said Graco, "there's nobody here but old Felipa and me we just got in ourselves a few minutes ago " "rle's here, boys, hid somewhere,? those behind him: then toGracei It's a boss thief we've been chasin" ill day.

Last week, says the Baltimore Amer ican, Charles Johnson, a well-known hunter, got out his rifle, after It had been standing for two weeks In a closet with the barrel loaded, and found, upon extracting the cartridge to clean the gun, that the lead of the bullet had been eaten away and pour ed out of the barrel In fine dust With tho dust there came the dried body of a moth, and the appearanco of tbemoth Indicated that It had eaten the lead from the bullet He showed the moth and the lead to several friends, and all agreed that everything Indicated that the moth had eaten away the lead. One of Mr. Johnson's friends happened to be acquainted with Frank Johnson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a famous entomolo gist, and suggested that the moth and lead borings be sent to him for exami nation and report This was done, and tho report has Just been received.

History of the Barometer. in the Meteorologlsche Zeltschrlfl for December last Trof. O. Ilellmann pives a very Interesting account of the Invention of the barometer, which has now been In use 250 years. Torrlcelll, who died at the early age of 30 years, was too busily engaged In niathemat- lent Studies to publish an account Of h3 discovery, but on June 11. 1644. he B rote a description of It t his friend Riccl. This letter and Itlcd's objee- tions to the experiment were publish ed In 1003 by a DalL a friend of Tor rlcelli'8. and. as this work Is now ex ceedingly rare. Prof. Ilellmann has reprinted the correspondence In the original Italian, In the above mention ed journal. Some of the paragraphs. says Nature, are noteworthy, especial ly those In which Torrlcelll states that It was not merely a question of pro ducing a vacuum, but of making an Instrument which would Indicate the changes of the atmosphere. The first continuous barometrical observations appear to have been made in France. In England they were first taken by Robert Boyle, about the year 1650, to whom we owe the Invention of the word "barometer." Illuminated Harness. Electric lighting has now Deen ap plied to private carriages. In which a storage battery may be secreted under the seat and the whole equipment costs less than $50 for each carriage. That imperial Innovator, the German Em peror, was one of the first to put elec tricity to this use. He had the Impe rial carriages so fixed that the old fashioned candles In the lamps are dis pensed with and an Incandescent burner used Instead. Inside the carriage there are several of these burners, making It light enough on the darkest night to read when driving to opera or party, but the lights can be turned out at will, no has also had electric lamps put npon the harness of his horses, consist ing of small colored lights which glow like fireflies. The Trlnce of Wales, who bos adopted the custom of electric lighting In his carriages, has not gone Quite so far as this, being content with the lights In the carriage and In the lamps on either side of the driver. Car riages have been so lighted In France for five years, and the custom Is stead ily Increasing. A DAINTY DRESS.

The tipped ends of ribbon rest also on the full puffed sleeves, wbicn reacn to the elbow, and the edge of the bod tice is finished with roll or twist of pink ribbon.

Satin is still to be used extensively tor skirts and will be worn with blouses ! made of fancy weaves. Feau de aoie, intin de chene and faille francaise will be kindly remembered by many who regard them as the best wearing silks that ever came from the loom. Wed ding satins in ivory white, white peau de soie white brocaded eatin and evening colors with swivel ef fects have not lost any of their old-time popularity. For evening wear it is said that there will be a tendency to go back to the largo stylish designs during the coming season.
