The boy was but Eob Cornway. bitting up presently, be gnxed at the oad. level flat the floor of the valley Jtbat stretched for to the great blue puntnlns. miles away on the other le. Half a mile distant was a huge ea cleared of sagebrush by the flow g water, for too much water is death the brush. On it the grass grew mndantly, and a herd of half-wild irses was grazing there In comfort d security. In the band was a bron o of unusual beauty. lie wns of ectnut color and plump and sleek, s legs were slender, hia neck full and lely arched. Ilia head, which he con mtly tossed with a scornful, haughty tion. was small and delicately Ised. Ilia long mane and tall floated the breeze In graceful line. Aa if ting the part of a aentlnel for the rd. thia young broncho ate nervously, imped a great deal and frequently rated hia nose to sniff what his eyes ght fail to see. (What a beauty ha Is."

Sob leaped to hia feet to find "Old id Treadwell," aa the wealthy ranch had been dubbed, 60 tha other side tha ditch, mounted on a large bay Vee, upon which he had rldaco noise- )wly within hearing distance of the y's speech.

Tbe horses gathered In a er bunch behind the chestnut and Ian to move in a zigzag fashion aro him. Such a singular creature r had never beheld. Their curiosity )g thoroughly aroused, they became e bold, trotted forward a little, then rd off and looked and wondered and roached yet nearer. , resently the horses were all about 1. and Dob waa a little concerned a the thought . tbat' the , boldest ht attempt to stamp on htm. Rely however, upon a former experience t had worked in precisely the same iner, he waited until the chestnut id close on hia left Then he rose i feet, alowly and deliberately. . Aa aa calculated, tbe horses wire be- ered to snob, a.n extent that thev a completely to recognise what he even while ha stood rrt. n ps an. .ht rope, he estimated the distance )flely, and with a quick, etrong men east the noose over the head P flti-itspept!njrroTieh. Instantly thatbaad atampeded, chest nut and all. Bob was prepared, how ver, and, bracing himself, aquatted back on hia lariat Just at the moment the captured animal reached the length of it; and thia with auch effect tbat tbe fleeing creature was brought up with an exceedingly abrupt turn. Aa if real izing the situation, tbe horse. Instead of tugging vainly at tlb'e rope that would choke him more and more if be struggled against it. trotted near enougta to slack the pressure, and stood posing a docility on a grass pedestal. Bob was amazed. "That's exactly what Old Man Tread well said you'd do." he exclaimed. Never was the animal so capable of perpetrating aurprlses aa this same sleek-looking pony. Acting as If the wondering horses were total strangers and Bob hia long-sought friend, be ig nored tbe scurrying band and-followed the boy with a meekness that simulated affection. lie kept the rope baJiglnir slnck between himself anfl his captor, just aa an old home-lnving row might have done, and pricked his ears as if with kindly interest in the proceedings. Hie stood like a sawbuck while Bob cautiously adjusted a blanket and then the heavy Mexican saddle on his back; not once did be wince while the broad cluch was tightened under and around his splendid lungs; only sadness seemed to lurk in hi eyes as he opened his mouth to receive the bridle bit. But Bob was not in tbe least put off his guard by this gentle behavior. Indeed, as an extra measure of snfety. he fastened a stout "tucking strap" under the tree of the saddle and tied the stir rups loosely together underneath, so that they should not fly toward his head in tbe earthquake upheaval which he anticipated. All being in readiness. Bob tucked hi trousera into his boots, fastened on a HE SHOT INTO THE spur, pulled his hat down hard, lashed his handkerchief firmly about his neck and strapped his belt up a couple of holes. Leading the lamb-like pony to a wide, sloping space from which a fair and square atart could be made, he se cured hi rope to the pommel of tbe saddle, and, grasping the bucking strap jwith all his strength, vaulted to the iaddle so lightly and quickly tbat even It bat -experienced animal gave a little jgrunt of surprise. For a moment the pony stood as if in meditation. Then, abaking his bead and heaving a great sigh indicating how much to be regretted tbe whole thing was, he trotted for several yards, getting his muscles well into action. And then, with a auddennes truly amazing, he "lit into" a spasm of buck ing fearful to see and more fearful to endure. He shot into the air like a spring from out a broken clock; he shook himself in mid-flight like a rag in the wind; he landed with his feet bunched ao closely that all came down within a space a foot square, tiff legged. The Jolt waa enough to scat ter the teeth from an Indian skull. But jup he went again, hi back arching like la bow, hia head down between his legs, 'hia tail flying. And Bob! Ilanglng desperately to jthe bridle rein with one throbbing jhand, gripped the bucking strap with jthe other, pinching hi legs together Iwith all hia mlfht, he staid on top while he gritted hia teeth to keep them from snapping together and biting hia 'tongue off with the terrible jerking and lugging to which be was subjected. Changing his tactics with lightning jllke rapidity, the broncho now ceased ibis bucking. Throwing his foam-flecked mouth aloft, he ran at top speed, dash ing away through the brush Into a trail leading toward the mountains. Bob lay back In the clasp of the saddle, swaying with the altered motion and quite unable, for a moment, to secure a proper equilibrium. Realising, however, that the opening light had been settled in hia favor, the boy .rapidly recovered hia senses, and began to take advantage of the change, Jabbing his spur into tbe pony's flank, het gathered in the reins and attempted to' assume command of the heaving land-craft that rocked so smoothly be neath him and clove tha air with the awlftne of sound. In thia he waa net rrt!re!,y successful, at the bronoho had evidently made up hia mind to g to the deptha of Pickbandle gulch. And go there be did. Bob's utmost efforts to restrain him proving futile. At length, when they were far down In the gloomy gulch, the horse reduced bis speed; nor could" all of Hob's spur ring rntnpel nny more of that headlong puce. Tbe animal seemed te be saving his energy for a final outburst, and to be choosing the spot with diabolical cunning. Finally, he reached a hillock, where space was clear, but hedged all about by ledge of slate, tbe wicked edges of which stuck up like pickets on a fence. There he iinespeetedlv bounded Into the air. with a shrill neigh, and threw himself into tbe wildest contortions. Again and ngnin with the violence of a catapult he Jerked himself upward and jolted down as harshly aa a brick that falls and strikes a pavement twisting in the air, and thrashing furi ously, right and left, forward and back. Down came the pony like a aack of wrought Iron, jarring tbe very hillock where be struck; he went op again, but not so high. His neigh, sharp and quick, indicated pain; and lifting a foot nil helpless and wounded, be ab ruptly censed his horrible antics, and stood submissive and subdued. It was like the miraculous quelling of a storm. His whole body quivered with pnln. Surprised to find himself alive. Bob hazily wiped the blood from his face and slipped feebly down to the earth. How wholesome it felt! No effort to escape or even to move did the horse attempt; but lie turned 11 face, altered and strange, with a dumb expression of profound respect toward his master. Something else was also In his eyes supplication. Bob glanced him over. The foot, half lifted, met his gaze. Not a moment did be hesitate not a thought of the In- vL ' AIR LIKE A SPRINU. (famous treatment to which he had been subjected by the merciless pony lin gered In his mind. Picking up the foot he found, deeply Imbedded in the frog thereof, a sharp. White stone. It was only a moment's work to whip out his knife snd dig sway the wound ing fragment tbe bit of rock that had saved his life, in all probability. And such a piteous moan of relief as that broncho gave when the fresh, healing blood flowed out of the gash! Bob placed the foot gently down, and laying his hand on the animal's neck poke to him tenderly. It was evident tbe pony had never been treated wltb kindness before; assuredly respect, shame, humiliation and love were in his countenance now, as he placed his nose on the lad's shoulder and rubbed Imm sweat-reeklngcheeksagainstthe bloody one of his master. For a momen so they stood. Bob looked at the stone thst had done so much for them both for now they were friends. It was white quartz, streaked with peculiar lines that were weaved In and out of it strangely. Turning It over tbe boy made an ex clamation of surprise, lie rubbed snd cleaned it. and looked again. A gleam ing speck, aurrounded by smaller f pecks of equal brightness, appeared on its surface. "Gold 1" he cried, excitedly. And gold It was! Then down on hi knee fell young iCornway, pawing away at the soil, (while the hone looked on and seemed ito love him. lie presently came to that for which 'he searched the ledge of quarts, burled beneath a shallow layer of earth, from which the piece had been broken. Over this he bent In an ecatacy of Joy, for gold was glinting all through it. prom Using all manner of wonderful thing for the future. At last be excitedly covered the spot with the sandy soil, placed In his pock et the little piece of ore, and stood on hi feet. 0h, yon beauty, yon beauty!" he cried to tbe broncho, lie threw his arms about the pony's neck and hugged him warmly. "An Imp you are. and my own Imp you shall be aa long a you live. And thia, too, this gold mine, shall he called the 'Bucking Broncho.' by all that's fair! s And the pony neighed soft, affec tionate assent. HEYLYN'S COSMOGRAPHY. A Roto Work o.' Which Only Two Coploa) Remain. Aa OI4 Ueaarraphlral Hlalary at the World Its Maat lateraatlaai Pars Helataa la Aeaartra. 1. A Boston paper recently announced the sale of a copy of Ueyly n's Cosmog raphy, published In 1077, and stated that It waa the only copy of the work extant. This assertion, however, I not true, for Mr. E. A. Kent, of tbe firm of Rent Stucbflcld, of this city, has a copy ol thia valuable work in an excellent stste of preservation. It was given bins by his rather, and is a valued heirloom in the family. The book, aa It name Implies, i a ge ographical history of the world, writ ten by Peter Ileylyn and published In London, according to the title page. 220 year ago, by Andrew Clark for i'hl'lp Chctwind and Anne Selle. It is a large, atrongly bound vol 11 roe. printed iu old fashioned English, and divided Idio four books. The first book container the chlrog rapby aod history of Italy, the Alpine provinces, France, Spain and Britain, with tbe Isles thereof; tbe second book of Belgium, Germany, Denmark. 8wethland..Muscany, Poland. Hungary. Dnlmaela. Dncla, Greece, wltb tbe Isles thereof; the third book Greater aod Lesser Asia and all principal provinces, kingdoms seas and Isles; while the fourth and last book relates to Africa nnd all tbe principal kingdoms, prov inces and Isles, and America. Tbe spell ing of the above names Is given as in the book. The most Interesting portion of the work la tbat relating to America, of which comparatively little waa known at that time. In the opening chapter he bounds It as follows: America, Ihe fourth and last part of the world, la bounded on the east by the Atlantic ocean and Virginian aeas. by which It Is parted from Europe aod Africa, which seaa tbe mariners csll tbe Mere Ilel Noordt; on the west by the Psciflo ocean, which mariners call Mare Del Zur. which divides H from Asia; on tbe south by what I a part of Terra Aus tralia Incognita, from which it la sepa rated by a long and narrow atrelgbt called the freight of Magellan. Tbe corth bound of it hitherto not so well discovered thst we can certainly affirm It to be island or continent." It will be seen by the above tbat Aus tralia wa believed to reach to the Straits of the Msgellsn. The maps, which are dated 1683. are very complex and covered with a multi plicity of names. The coatour of South America is given very accurately, but that of North America I scsrcelv recognizable. The Msssschusetts, and Virginia, and Florida coasts are fairly good and many of the names of capes, rivers and towns are tbe ssme which ttey now have. However, the Gulf of St. Lawrence ia shown to extend from tbe ocean along the northern edge of New England to a point about where Chica go now stands, snd here nearly joins tbe southern point of Hudson's bay. The great lakes ere not designated. Santa Fe, N. M. Is placed on about tbe same latitude as New England, while California is the name given to what is now known as Lower Califor nia, and is represented as a great island, its northern end extending up Into the Terra Incognita. Ileylyn gives tbe general name of Peruana to tbe northern and Mexiouna to the southern continent. His maps display a tendency to recktessness in the profusion of great rivers Indicated, many as large as the Nile and flowfng complacently through tbe mountains and valleys alike. According to this work the scheme of a canal to out the Isthmus of Panama was conceived at that early date. He says: "Some have thought of turning thesetwopeninsulaslnto perfect islands by cutting through the isthmus. Cer tain it is thatTMnyhaVe motioted to the council of Spain to do this, and thus shorten the voyage to China and Malucca." The reasons given for not undertak ing the scheme were either lack of mon ey or danger from giving pirate too good an opportunity. With fine sar casm neylyn add that probablr thev did not desire to endanger the live of the few remaining native they had per mitted to live by putting them to work. In tberoleofa Munchausen Ileylyn .s a success. He asserts tbat the land is "blest with such au abundance of gold that they find In many of the mines more gold than earth." snd that tbe na t'ves, not regarding it greedily, ex change it for iron Implements. He alao states thst tbe most valuable gems are found In abundance: that tbe land is plentiful of spice snd fruits, and such creatures as the old world never knew. Among the latter are "hogs with talons sharp aa razors and the navel on tbe ridge of their backs." Many other equally strange and terrible crea tures are described.
