rer; dragging a cart. In this instance
the cart was full of vegetables. It was
evidently a market fran-taking prod
uce to 'town. Now, Hector was a
true knight, valiant, loyal and gentle;
but he possessed also that other char.
acteristic of knighthood, he brooked no
intraders; and no sooner did one of his
kind appear than he challenged him to
combat I knew this and trembled, but
hoped for the best.
• Unluckily, however, that plebeian
dog as he approached presumed to give
a defiant bark, wvhich settled his fate.
Instantly Hector gave one spring,
seized his boastful adversary and shook
him out of his harness in less time
than it'takes to tell it, overturning the
cart and scattering the vegetables in
every direction. I was distressed be.
yohd measure and called Hlector in the
most commanding tones I could as
sume. Then Icoaxed him, all of
which he entirely ignored. Meanwhile
the other one of the span was by no
means quiet.
She was indeed perfectly furious
she abused IIec or, she abused me, she
abused the aristocracy, to which she
seemed to think we both belonged, as
highway robbers and assassins! In my
desperation I'picked up a stick to com
pel Hlector to obedience, but she mis
.took my. motive and advanced upon me
in a rage.
"Silence!" We turned quickly. Just
out of the wood came a young man in
uniform, evidently an officer. The
dogs stood still an instant, and I
rushed forward and grasped Hector's
collar.
He did not consent kindly to being
led oft, but the other dog had been
pretty well chastised by this time.
Ilector felt his knightly powers had
been duly established, and he quieted
down in . deferential sort of way, as
-if he were only consenting to it on my
account. Then the market woman be
gan to wail that her wares were spoiled
and she might as well go home; but
when I gave her some money, and the
gentleman kindly added some, too, she
harnessed herself aind her dog again
and resumed her journey. Then I
turned to thank my preserver. IHector,

walked on together.
."I'm sorry." I began, "that my dog

"I an very much obliged to you for
interfering jdust now." I went on, rath.
er excitedly; "it gave me a chance to
bring !Hector away."
"It was courteous of you to do it," he
replied. "lie is a huge beast for you

"Well," I protested, "he wounhld not
hurt me. lie is such a noble fel

er, llector and 1. Indeed, he has been
my best friend all summer."
lie looked down on mte and smiled
again. "I am glad of that." hlie said,
"for Hlector is my favorite dog."'
This, then, was the count, and I hadl
been claiming his property. No won
der Hector had quieted down at his
voice.
lie walked toward the gate while I
went on; but hector rushed out past
him to me and whined pathetically,
then ran back to the count an 1 stdod
deflantly in his path. To humor hinm,
his master came out* ain and I turnel
and faced him. Ilecttr's joy was un
bounded. lie jumped around us both
wildly, and showed by every sign in
his power that he had no intention of
"cleaving to the one and forsaking the
other." It was soevident and so amus
ing that we both laughed heartily,
which seemed to establish a friendli
ness at once.
"lie is determined we shall not part,
fraulein, Will you permit us both to
accompany you home?" They did so,
and on the way I assured the count of
my intention to return shortly to the
cit,, when he would probably have
his favorite's undivided attention again.
The next morning when I took my
accustomed pilace out under the tree
Hlector soon came trotting gayly along
the bank, holding in his mouth a
small object of dark blue and red
cloth, which he deposited at my feet.
I picked it up. It was a military cap!
You, may call it accident if you like,
and say any dog will pick up a hat and
carry it off, but you will see how mis
takefl you are: After awhile Hector's
tail, as he lay at my side, began to
hammer the ground with gratified
thumps, and I looked up questionihgly.
The count came toward us laughing
to get his cap, he said, but he must
have forgotten his purpose. for he
staid to watch me sketch, and roe
aitt day he came again, and the next.
I did not return to Dresden as soon as

HUNTINQ FOR 'GOLD. Is
aIarshps or the k. whe r mi' L ie t,.
talnsg in the dearels
It is scatcely to bd wondered at that
gold-hunters freQueltly becomeinsang.
All classes of men join in the search
for the elusive yellow metal Deserters e
from the army, men who have grown T
tired of ranching, elerks, sailors and ti
reformed tramps. The number of enor- B
mously rich mines that have been mys- T
teriously lost in this more mysterious Y4
desert is the incentive. Up and down m
the desert do these men go, some of 64
them well equipped with teams and a
wagons, others riding mules, and there m
are some foolhardy enough to essay the
perilous adventure on foot. The fierce l
I heats of summer, nor the cool nights of a
winter, do not deter them. They are c
Sall eager, keen and suspicious. Brave, u
I they naturally must be, to penetrate ti
into the most inhospitable wilds in
I search of a glittering shadow. 7
I Nothing seems" to daunt them, al
I continual failure appears but to al
I provoke fresh courage, and when once d
the passion has taken hold of a man to P
discover a mine, nothing but death will P
mE ake him relinquish the attempt b
These men are generally very one- tl
sided. They have eyes, ears and under
standing for nothing else but gold or b
silver indications. There is one pros- b
l pector on the desert a notable excep- h'
tion, a man called Ed Holland, a poet, w
philosopher, mine owner and store- a
keeper. Some strange allurement drew CA
I him away from civilization, and since H
I the delirium of mine-owning seized ol
him he takes only a passing interest in h:
other matters. le
Prospectors are difficult people to get ti
information from. They delight in the
mysterious and the mystifying. They V
all have had hair-breadth escapes from tl
the Indians and woeful marches when cc
assailed by thirst. There is a cheery Vi
feeling about them that they will one t
day meet with sudden and painful R
deaths on some exploring expedition, Y
but so long as there are signs of the I1
existence of gold will the prospector 01
push on. There are several gallant 9
specimens of this class to be seen in w
Yuma, who recplterate there before tl
they start again on some perilous jour- 7
ney. Their tales will always fetch o0
around them an audience, and with tl
back against the bar and foot on rail
the trials and troubles of their weary
wandering are forgotten in the blaze w
of popularity. Nothing pleases the old a
miner so much as to speak of past dan- b
gers and prospects of success. ci
"You remember young KI," one will o0
say; "well, he lived with the Injuns u
down the Rio Grande, and got as thick P
as thieves with them. Guess he doe- d
tored one of thom, for he had a pile of h

there are heaps of gold.' Of course K. s
consented and the Indians' took him a
journey of several days, and he n
gaihered up thousands of dollars. lie C
would never say where he got the coin, ti
but I know he got it, for I saw the cer- C
tificate. Why didn't he come back? n
Oh, because the Indians would kill him, o
that is why."
Then another will tell the story of a
how a poor young fellow got lost on ii
the desert, and, seeing three hills, he g
climbed one to observe, and down at s
his feet he saw huge lumps of gold as t
big as his head. lie emptied
his saddle bags of all superfluous r
luggage and pile l away as much I
1 gold as he could carry. lie eventually h
found his way to Los Angeles Though a
c he took most careful observations, yet ii
he was never able to re-discover this o
wondrous mine. t
Again, another white man who lived
with an Indian woman was told that I
1 she would show him to a very rich
mine, or, rather have a relative of hers t
Y do so. They journeyed for three days, a
Y and then the wo{en grew alarmed and I
would go no fortaer.
r Then there is another mine due east
from Seven l'alms called the "Lost
d Squaw," which has attracted many
e prospectors, but she, too, has been a
coy mistress, and has so far concealed
E herself from the prying gaze of hun
dreds of seekers.
All these st·,ries have but one ending.
"Well, one day some fellow who least

C The vanqueros on the Tejon ranch
T were paid off recently anil somn there
wasn't enough money left in the pockets
L of the whole crowd to buy a wad of
brown cigarette paper. This financial
x embarrassment was brought about by
two young fellows wh> said they were
r- cowboys from Arizonua The two young
f fellows came into camp on pay-day,
V got drunk and jeered at the riding of
the vaqueros, who were amusing them
Sselves by doing all sorts of queer things
on horseback. The vaqueros endured
r the insulting criticismsof the strangers
oas long as the laws of hospitality re
* quired, and then they wanted to know :
what the Arizona men knew about
riding.
S The Arizona men said they could ride
r anything that wore hair, and chal
SLenged the vaqueros ti bring out their
1. mustangs. Two nugly little broncos
e were caught up and saddled, and the
i Arizona fellows, with drunken reck- I
id lessness, climbed aboard. They were 1
r pitched off with neatness and dispatch. 1
t and proved to be very clumsy fellows
d in the saddle, but that didn't stop their
k bragging. The elder brother, who was
g very drunk, explained that the younger.
Swho had displayed the more clumsi
i ness, was a little too full to show what
I he could do, but offered to bet all he
Sowned that the bay would on the next
Sday ride any horse that the vaqueros
s could drive into a corral.
S The vaqueros,had sized up the Arl
e sonian lads, but didn't want' to take
i1 advantage of them, and persuaded
p them to wait until morning before
it making any bets. When the morning
ar came the elder brother was still a lit
tie soggy, but he gloomily insisted
upon making good his drunken ch.ali
Iange, T~ 'vaqlaos told ihai that
was all right that they didn't eapect
him to back ap all his whisky talk, .
fIt wouldn't have it that way. No
body could say that he was a blufer
or a quitter, deank or sober, and what
he bald he would back to his last bean.
The youdge' brother, who was sober, a
tried to dissunde him. "Come now,
BIll," he said, "don't be a blasted fooL
These boys don't mind what we said
yesterday, and they don't want out
money. I've had enough and want to
go home. Quit your foolishness and
come along. I don't want to ride any I
more mustangs."
Whereupon the elder brother became
noisier and more insistent than ever,
and abused the other outrageously,
calling him a coward and i tenderfoot,
until the young fellow could endure his
tannts no longer.
"All right,'"said the young man, "if
you want to blow in all your stuff, go
ahead. Nobody's holding you. You
sha'n't say I'm a coward if you are
drunk, and I'll tackle any plug you
point out. But don't blame me if you
pack blankets back to the ranch. You'd
better get long odds in your betting,
though."
The vaqueros were very willing to
give odds of two to one, and upon that
basis they put up all the money they
had or could borrow. When the bets
were made, the vaqueros rounded up
a band of horses, drove them into a
corral and pointed out a vicious,
Roman-nosed plug, at least ten years
old, that had never had a saddle upon
his back and was known to be hope
lessly cussed from his forelock to the
tip of the longest hair in his tail
The youngster from Arizona, looding
very glum and disgusted, climbed to
the top of one of the gate-posts of the
corral, to the great amusement of the
Vaqueros, who knewthat it was useless
to attempt to put a saddle upon the
Roman-nosed horse. They thought the
young fellovv was afraid, and they
laughed joyously until he began to peel
off his clothes and fling them on the
ground. Coat, vest, trousers and shirt
were flung aside, and upon the top of
the gate-post stood a lithe, athletic
young man in tights, with a few yards
of rope coiled around his waist. Then
the vaqueros rolled cigarettes and
wondered what he would do next.
The elder brother opened the gate just
wide enough to let one horse pass out
at a time, and began driving out the
band. When the Roman-nosed brnte
came along and jumped through the
opening the man in tights dropped
upon his back from the gate-post like a
Panther leaping from a tree upon a
deer, and like a deer the astonished
horse bounded across the plain. Away

minutes theflying horse passed out of
sight, the man in tights still sitting
upon his back. And then the vaqueros,
returned to the corral, rolled cigarettes,
smoked, and waited.
In half an hour or more the Roman
nosed horse loped heavily up to the
corral, wild-eyed and foam-flecked, and
the man in tights sat upon his back and
controlled him easily with a hacka
more, roughly fashioned out of the coil
of rope that he had worn around his
waist when he started. There wasn't
a kick or a plunge or a buck-jump left
in the old horse, and his wind was all
gone. lie was covered with dust and
sweat and mud, and it was evident
that he had been down sideways and
backward half a dozen times, and had
rolled over on the ground in vain at
tempts to crush his rider. lie would
have smashed a saddle all to pieces,
and probably have driven the horn of
it through the breast of a rider in some
of his wild backfalls, but the man in
tights always landed upon his feet, and
when the horse got up the man leaped
lightly upon his back.
The man in tights was a champion
bareback rider from McMahon's circus
and the drunken elder brother was a
"gambler from Tucson. They carried
away all the money on the Ranco Te
jon, and the vaqueros aren't saying
much about suckers from Arizona.

Hilnloo Noe Rings.
One of the Hlindoo castes has resolved
that hereafter its women shall wear a
flower in the nose instead of the an
cient and customary nose ring. The
reason for this innovation is that the
wearing of nose rings led to "much un
favorable comment." The members of
the caste have further resolved that if
any woman in future wears a nose
ring she will be liable to a fine in addi
tion to the forfeiture of her other orna
ments. All this may seem amusing to
the western mind, but the matter
doubtless has its tragical aspects to
many Indians who know that the nose
ring is a survival of the most memora
ble period of their history, and that,
according to tradition, the practice was
derived from an injunction placed upon
the people by one of the Ilindoo deities.
