9 BY IIATTERJIAX MNDSAY. +

THE Yakimas, the Nez Perees and
the Umatillas were holding a
midsummer love feast. It was a
-country fair, a camp meeting, an ath
letic meet, a Knights Templar con
clave and‘Monte Carlo 'used in one
and poured into a picnic mold. For
assembly room and banqueting hall
they had a sandy plain on the first
standard parallel of latitude, not far
from the confluence of the Snake
and Columbia. It was walled by the
horizon, roofed by a sapphire vault
and festooned at night with innumer
able scintillant sparks, to account for
whose origin and destiny the Indian
does not lie awake at nights, though
he has his explanations of such mat
ters, too.
The sportively-inclined braves of
the three tribes—and what Indian is
not sportive?- had come to the meet,
bringing their ponies and blankets,
their fine baskets, their trinkets and
pelf, and, incidentally, their squaws
and papooses. Your Indian is a reso
lute player and a good loser; games
of hazard are his inborn racial pas
sion, to which he devotes himself
with all the ardor he erstwhile dis
played in war and the chase. He has
a favorite game which the pale faces
call Indian poker, and such of them
as have mastered its intricacies say
■it is quite as efficient as the white
variety.
And now, after three days of play,
"the loot was stacked i;p in heaps on
the Nez I’erce side. The Umatillas
and the Yakimas had not a pony, a
blanket, a valuable of any kind left
them —scarcely a battered tin to boil
water in. The fun was over, there
was nothing left to do but to break
up the conclave and return whence
they came. But among the Yakimas
was one young man, Konewock by
name, who was not as good a loser as
the others; when he looked over at
his two fleet ponies, with headstalls
and bridle reins of braided horse
hair, his finely woven baskets,
worth much money in the marts of
the curio hunters, his thick blankets,
his beaded belts and moccasins, his
trusty knife, his heart rebelled within
him. He strode up to Blue Heron
the Nez Perce, who had been his prin
cipal opponent, and said to him
“One game between t«S two only. 1
will stake my squaw against all you
have won from me.”
Blue Heron laughed. He was a tall,
straight-limbed, devil-may-care fel
low, fresh from a morning plunge in
the creek, and groomed to the very
perfection of an Indian toilet. “The
Nez Perees have plenty of girls,” he
replied. “I had rather have the
ponies.”
“Coward!” sneered Konewock.
"“You refuse a challenge!"
“Never!” said Blue Heron. “But
what kind of a squaw is it that you
think to put up against two ponies
am! two blankets and baskets and
bead work? I never saw one worth
so much."
“There she is. standing among
those women. The one wdth her hair
unbound. She is angry because I
made her give me the strings of beads
and silver pieces she had braided in
with it."
“Huh!" said Blue Heron, surveying
the young woman, critically. “She
lias a temper.”
"Sometimes,” admitted Konewock.
“But she is strong and a good cook;
ami very pretty."
“Well. 1 agree," said Blue Heron.
The Nez Perce brought one of bis
lately won blankets ami spread it. in
a convenient spot, Konewock pro
■dttced a deck of cards, and the two
«at. down. News of the wager rapidly
spread throughout the camp, and the
players were quickly surrounded by
a triple ring of deeply interested spec
tators.
Either from a malicious desire to
torment his opponent, or from a wish
-to prolong the excitement of the
game. Blue Heron chose an original
method of wagering. “The pinto
pony against her head.” said he. as he
sat down opposite Konewock. He
■won the head.
"The buckskin pony against her
heart," said Blue Heron, winking
gravely at a bystander opposite him.
He lost the heart and the buckskin
pony. Konewock laughed jubilantly,
and a wave of excitement ran through
the erowd. which then settled into a
breathless silence to watch the result
■of the next wager.
“This blanket against her hamls,” i
said Blue Heron. He xvon the hands. ;
“The other blanket against her feet," i
said Blue Heron. He won the feet. !
By this time a dense throng sur-1
rounded the contestants. A spokes- ;
inan in the foremost rank communi- .
rated the result of each play in a gut- I
teral undertone to the man behind
him, who passed it back until it
Teaebed the outermost ring of women
and girls, where much suppressed
■conversation and giggling were going
on.
“The buckskin pony against her
head,” said Konewock. At this point
there was some commotion among
"tin; spectators. A sturdily built old
Indian was forcing his way toward
the center, and recognizing Teenat,
the father of the wagered girl, the
crowd parted and allowed him to
pass. Konewock dealt, and the hands
were played out in absolute silence.
JGouewock 1. and the buckskin pony
passed back to Blns Heron. There
remained but the heart of Kone
wock’s squaw in his possession; they
had been playing an hour.
“I wager all against the heart,” sai**
Blue Heron, dealing the cards.
Blue Heron won; he laughed loud
ly as he rose from the blanket and
stretched himself. His laugh was
echoed by his friends in the crowd,
which broke up into little knots with
much noisy jest and babbling. Old
Teenat strode through the dissolving
groups without answering any of the
would-’Je witticisms flung at him.
Blue Heron linked his arm through
that of Konewock, and said: “Come
on! Let us get the woman; I want
to be off.”
They found her standing by her
father’s wickiup; her mother, sit
ting on the ground before a smolder
ing fire of sage brush, appeared to be
absorbed in watching the contents of
a tin can which was simmering on the
coals. Teenat was occupied in cinch
ing up a blind old pack horse, and
paid no attention to the young men.
“Looesa. this is Blue Heron,” said
Konewock, at once, sulky and shame
faced. “You belong to him now.”
The girl regarded them with blaz
ing eyes. "I belong neither to you
nor to him.” she said, with concen
trated fury in her tones. “I will stay
here."
“You will not!” asserted Kone
wock, taking hold of her, none too
gently.
The girl screamed, and old Teenat
turned, but did not stir from his
place. He was a man of substance
and character, much respected among
his people, the Yakimas. “Let be!”
he said, briefly; “my daughter is not
a slave to be gambled for over a
blanket. She goes with me.”
Konewock dropped the girl's arm
and turned to Blue Heron, question
ingly. The latter only laughed, as
usual, observing (freely translated
into English vernacular): “Well, it
soems you can’t deliver the goods!
I'm not looking for a fight. I am
satisfied with the plunder I have. I
only accepted the wager to please
you. Ta-ta!” Turning lightly on his
heel he went away.
Konewock shortly followed, sulky
and sore, and half an hour later the
two might have been observed, if
every one had not been too busy
with his own affairs to give them
any further thought, plotting to
gether under the high banks of the
coulee. As a matter of fact, Blue
Heron was not so indifferent to the
girl’s rejection as it had pleased him
to appear. He rather piqued himself
upon his personal appearance, and
was not wont to sue in vain. He con
sidered that he had fairly won the
young squaw, and lent himself read
ily to Konewock's suggestions, with
the result that when Teeuat’s family,
already several miles on their hon.e
ward trail, camped for the night, two
horsemen hobbled their ponies be
hind a hillock not far away. The
first time Looesa ventured abroad
among the uncertain shadows search
ing for fagots to feed the dying fire,
two pairs of sinewy arms seized and
gagged her and bore her away with
out sound of struggle or cry to alarm
her relatives, and five minutes later a
little Indian pony was making record
time, despite its double load, in the
direction of the Blue mountains, amid
whose recesses Blue Heron intended
to lose himself until the pursuit was
given over. For he did not doubt
that the young men of the Yakimas
would make Teenat’s cause their own.
When Blue Heron considered that
it was safe to do so, he removed the
gag from between Looesa’s teeth and
set her down on the ground beside
his pony’s head; he still retained his
hold of the riata with which his cap
tive’s wrists were bound, and thus
forced her to walk beside him until
his winded steed had recovered itself,
when he lifted her in front of him
and again loped away at full speed,
the unshod hoofs of his pony beating
softly on the sandy plain. It was
Blue Heron’s intention to reach the
Walla Walla, ford it by break of day,
and, following it up into the foothills,
cross over the divide at his leisure
and come down into the canyon of
the Grande Ronde. This he could de
scend to its junction with the Snake,
and thence get him home to Fort
Lapwai with his prize without much
danger of interruption.
For a week the days had been like
the opaline chamber of a hollow shell,
the nights like a crystal goblet inlaid
with gems, saturating the earth with
balm from its inverted bowl. But
this night was black and breathless,
the moon, in its third quarter, was
not yet risen, and though the sky
seemed cloudless, few stars were vis
ible. The heat which rose from the
desert, instead of losing itself as usual
among whhrcool spaces of fluent air,
settled back on the earth, as if shut
in by a great lid; not even a cricket
chirped; the death-like, brooding si
lence was pregnant with menace.
The fleeing trio, horse and woman
and man, were oppressed for breath
j and damp with sweat as they hurried
forward through the night, pausing
1 now and again for a moment’s respite,
and anon racing through the blaek
' ness, invisible to pursuit had there
' been any.
Suddenly- in the northeast a great
i sheet of lightning blazed up to the
i zenith, nnd for half the round of the
horizon showed them the summits of
the Blue mountains sharply defined
, against its glare. Almost simultane
| otisly an awful peal of thunder seemed
■ to shatter the vault of Heaven and
1 send it rattling down in fragments
upon the appalled earth. The pony
stopped short and trembled; neither
: man nor beast in these longitudes
' is accustomed to such display of ele
mental forces. Such a storm as they
were about to witness is rare, indeed,
I on the western slope of the conti
nent. But. after the shock of sur
prise occasioned by the first on-
slaught had passed, Blue Heron
pressed on steadily toward it. Im
mediately around them the black
stillness continued, but before them
’.he ebon curtain of the night was
jroidered with zigzag traceries of
burnished steel, and ever and anon
the serrated mountain ridge leaped
out in every detail against a blue
white background of sheeted flame,
while, with scarce an interregnum,
the thunder bird flapped his wings
with terrible reverberations that al
most stunned the fugitives.
They proceeded thus for more than
half an hour before they met the ad
vancing storm. Without other warn
ing than the fresh smell of wet earth
and a sudden sound in their ears of
rushing waters, they- entered the del
uge, and were drenched to the skin
in a moment, but kept doggedly on
their course, until, with the first
Hush of dawn, they stood upon the
bank of the Walla Walla. The storm
had now passed entirely’, but the lit
tle river that Blue Heron had ex
pected to ford was running bank full,
a yellow flood, bearing driftwood on
its bosom.
Blue Heron set his pony and his
captive at liberty, and walked to and
fro to straighten his legs, while he
considered. A fire and breakfast
seemed equally de.'.irable, but it was
more desirable still to be on the other
side of that stream, where the' trail
lay which he wished to follow. There
had evidently been a cloudburst in
the mountains and it would be many
hours before the water would run
past. But once on the other side, he
fancied he would be safe from pur
suit for some time; and it would be
a strange thing, indeed, if he, Blue
Heron, with a little leisure for proper
courtship, could not conquer the ]ni
mors of ever so eby a maiden or
madam. Though, sooth to say, this
one had shown no symptoms of do
cility as yet. Blue Heron was quite
aware that there was something be
yond mere risk in attempting to cress
the flood, but that was rather an in
centive than otherwise.
He decided to chance the issue. So,
after giving his pony a half hour to
rest and refresh itself, he cinched it
up again, and removing the clothing
from his fine glistening bod y he
bound it on Looesa’s shoulders. The
latter, understanding now what it
was he contemplated, protested vig
orously; at length her dignity suc
sumbed entirely, and she begged with
tears. But Blue Heron was laugh
ingly inexorable. He forced, her to
mount the pony, and, bidding her
hold on well, drove the unwilling ani
mal into the water. Grasping the
pony’s mane, he swam beside it on the
lower side, and kept its head against
the current as much as possible. The
pony struggled for its life, and Blue
Heron swam like the athlete he was.
AU was going well, when suddenly
around a bend above them a cotton
wood tree came down on the flood,
held tipright, in the water by- the
weight of the earth clinging to its
roots, its branches swaying menac
ingly as it swept along. Loosea ut
tered a cry of despair, and Blue
Heron, raising himself out. of the
water enough to look over the pony’s
neck, saw what was coming upon
them, and with a shout to the animal
sank back and put forth all his re
serve strength.
It was now verily a race with
death. Where the swimmers gained
a foot against, the current the tree
gained yards with it. Loosea busied
herself in an endeavor to unfasten
the pack from her shoulders, while
her eyes remained fixed in horror on
the approaching doom. The pony,
urged by her frantic shouts;, labored
until his sides seemed ready to burst.
Blue Heron's eyes were starting from
his head with his exertions, and his
breath came in painful gasps. The
space narrowed swiftly; it was not a
question of moments, but of seconds.
Nearer, nearer swept the tree, its
branches towered above them.
“Quick!” shouted Looesa, in the
voice of the lost. “It is here!"
One last, supreme effort, and the
mass of foliage swept past the pony’s
flanks, just grazing them. Saved by a
hand’s breadth! But where was
Looesa? Had she not escaped? As if
with deliberate malice, the tree had
courtesied to the flood, and, bringing
down a branch that the instant be
fore was high above her head, had
swept her from the pony’s back.
Looesa was a good swimmer, but,
half stunned and weighed down with
the pack from which she had not
succeeded in releasing herself, she
was unable to do more than keep her
head above the water. It took an in
stant for Blue Heron to realize what
had happened, another (as it would
you or me) for him to rise to the
level of the hero; then he let go of
his pony and safety, and gave him
self to the flood. He reached Looesa
just as she was giving herself up to
her fate, and seized her long, float
ing hair.
It was far down the stream where
they landed, and at the last it was
the woman who dragged the young
Nez Perce out upon the sand, where
he lay prone and naked, panting his
soul out in sheer exhaustion.
Then it was that the girl he had
gambled for wooed Blue Heron back
jto life by her ministrations. For the

A simple plan of pumping water by

The wheel (a) in which the horse
works is 20 feet in diameter, and the

in the. bottom of the well should be
eight inches long and one foot«in di

it will catch the water brought up

The second illustration shows a
plan of running an ordinary pump by

MULES FOR FARM WORK.
Whnt They Lack in \ppcnrunce They
More T linn Make I pin tctnal
I NefulneMM.
The question is so often asked by ,
farmers who have never used mules ,
on the farms, preferring horses, that •
we shall give a few of the merits pos- s
sessed by our long-eared friend. The ;
mule is an easy animal to raise. He 1
doesn’t eat much as compared with a |
horse. An energetic mule will make ;
a trip quicker than a horse, though he |
may not go so fast—the secret of his
speed is his uniform gait, steady and ,
persistent. You nardly ever see a I
sick mule; he seeiqs practically im- ’
mum* from the diseases which attack
horses. A mule ean endure more ;
hardship than a horse, will pull more I
in proportion to his size, and will ■
“stay with it” longer. A mule is
easier broken or trained to work
than a horse, and is more reliable
after initiated. If a team of mules
run away they look out for them- '
selves, and though they may make
some close turns and go through a
needle's eye, so to speak, they usual
ly come out unharmed. We would
rather plow corn with a team of
mules than with horses; they' break
down less corn and turn around
quicker. Hot weather affects the mule
less than the horse. A good, honest,
business mule is worth, and will com
mand, a good price any day in the
week. The' usefulness of a mule con
tinues longer than that of a horse.
The mule is not handsome, doesn't
make a good roadster, isn’t stylish,
doesn't “do himself proud” if hitched
to a fancy yellow wagon or cart, but
what he lacks in appearance he makes
up in actual usefulness on the farm.
—Tennessee Farmer.
HELPFUL HORSE NOTES.
Rough usage and neglect will never
make a hardy horse.
The colt must be kept groping thrift
ily from the start if you want a fine
horse.
Use plenty of piaster around the
stables to absorb the odors and am
monia.
- Some say that “feed is above breed,"
but we say. the game is lost without a
combination of the two.
But screens in the windows and
doors to keep the flies out of the
stables. It will save feed and flesh.
Do pot let the feet of the road or
work horses get hard and dry during
the dry weather. Avoid hoof lotions.
Water is best and safest and is na
tural.
Examine the teeth of all the horses
now. young and old. If the teeth are
sharp have them floated. If v o u find a
horse holding a wad of hay in the side
of his mouth have his teeth attended to
at once. It is a sure sign that they are
sharp.— Farm JournaL
TRAINING THE COLTS.
Well-Known Western Breeder Ad
vocatea .Adoption of a Sort of
Kindergarten System.
Dr. Curry er, of Minnesota, is one of
the soundest authorities in the west
on practical horse breeding. In a re
cent talk he said he was a believer in
something of the nature of a kinder
garten for young colts. He liked to
begin the education of the colt when
not more than a day old.
First catch the colt and hold him by
putting one arm in front and one back
of him. The pivotal point of action is
the center of the body; fasten him in
front and hi- tries to go backward.
Fasten him at the rear and he tries
to go forward. We should understand
this law, which is a part of the nature
of the colt, when we try to govern him.
You can easily hold the colt if you
place one arm under the neck and the
other under the ham. Handle the colt
first on one side, then on the other,
and give him a lump of sugar. He may
not eat it at first, but pass it around
his mouth and he will soon learn to
like it.
Yon have now shown the colt your
power over him, and that you do not
wi-h to hurt him. Next give him a
lesson in the use of the halter. If you
put the halter on him and pull he goes
back. To counteract this, place a
strap around his body just in front of
his hind legs. Attach a rope to this
and run it through a ringjnthe halter.
When the colt goes back, pull him up
to you, then give him some sugar.
When you are able to handle the
colt well with the halter, give him
some lessons in driving. Let the old
horse teach the colts their first lesson,
I and to do this I take a pair of old
carriage wheels on an axle. To these
are clipped two wooden bars, 14 feet
long, about two feet from the ends;
•the longest ends, extending in front,
make the thills for the old horse. A
crossbar is placed just in front of the
wheels, extending out far enough to
hitch the colts on either side of the
old horse. The colts are hitched *to
light bars placed in front of the horse,
with ropes arranged at the sides to
keep tha colts in place. They soon
learn from the old horse whet to do.
and they get used to hearing the
wheels roll behind them, so that they
are not afraid when hitched to a
wagon.
PORTABLE FARM FENCE.
The One Here Described nnd Illtia
trated Ilan Been in Xctu.il I »e
for Jinny Yearn.
The best way to feed cattle when
on pasture is to give one feed of corn
a day, always feeding at the same
time, ami I prefer that it should be
in the evening. It. is best to give
them what they will eat clean only:
probably they will eat a peck each
per day, but I would begin with less
and gradually increase. To fully
utilize the corn, hogs should follow
the cattle always, and if any soiled
corn is left in the box always throw
it out when feeding and give them
a lighter feed the next time. I have
never seen a thoroughly satisfactory
PORTABLE PASTURE FENCE.
portable fence, but 1 invented one
myself some 20 years ago, which gives
anoderate satisfaction.
The cut gives an idea of it. This
fence is self-supporting. without
posts, by driving a stake at about
every third panel. The fence is made
in the shop in panels, the boards be
ing nailed to two by four or two by
two pieces of hard wood, which are
beveled at the top so as to give the
proper slope to the panels, which are
made to slope alternately toward
each other. The fence is supported
by three short boards nailed across
the uprights at the notch, and of
course, when it is moved these must
be knocked off; but, even if they
should be spoiled so that they can
not be used again, it takes but lit
tle lumber to replace them. I have
a line of this fence which has stood
20 years without repairs, but it has
not been moved in that time. I
think that two men could take down
and move a short distance and set
up 40 rods or more of this fence in a
day.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Schemes in Sheep l-'eeil i nis.
The latest in sheep feeding is a
moving pen. Two or three sheep are
put in each pen, the pen being several
feet above the ground, or about on
a level with the top of the grass.
Then the pen is moved over the field
by electricity. The idea is to pre
vent the sheep from trampling down
the high grass. Wouldn’t it be just
as cheap to have several hundred
sheep stand in a line on a platform
and ptill the whole field under the
platform? The sheep could nibble off
the ends of the grass as the field
slid under them. Just a suggestion,
of course. Don’t know how it could
be done. Butchers’ Advocate.
< hicks Need Lots of Space.
Houses and runs should be in propor
tion. It is seldom that the yards are
large enough for the houses. In cities
and villages il is no unusual sight to
see a good-sized house and a run no
larger than the house in the area cov
ered. The result is a perfectly bare
and often dusty ground plot. The area
of the yard should be at least-ten times
that of the house in which t he birds are
kept, and if the yard is still larger it
will not be of excessive size. In fact.,
it is best to have the area of the run
so large that it will remain green
throughout the entire growing season.

JOHNSON AT WORK AGAIN.
Racine, Wis., July 22nd.—John John

For years he has suffered with Kid

His case is regarded by those who
