SELECTED STORY,
At tlio Eud of n Larlnt.
All sorts nnd couditlonB of men and
womon camo togothor in Uiocftttledays.
II was ouo of tho pcculiar fcatures of
tho tinio that thorc nevor wns asked
tho questlon, " VVho nro you ?" Tho
nowcotnor iutroduccd bimself. as
did tho uilncrs of tho mountains. in hla
owu way, nnd wqb takeu for whnt ho
was worth. 111b rcnl vnluo wbb UBUally
dotormlucd nt ehort notico by tho nion
of tho frontior, nnd wb.cn thoy had onco
braudcd a Btrnugor ho might as wcll ac
quiesco, for tho word wont along tho
lino na to his stnnding. Whon ho did
not do bo ho found thnt thcro was
likely to bo n hint thnt ho could not
nfford to ncglect nnd ho oboyed.
Whon Jamcs Sorton cnmo to tho
Cimmnrron ranch nnd introducod him
Bolf as tho youngcr son of a weallhy
New Englandor, diflinherited bocause
of his fondness for tho sports of tho
plninB, ho was bclioved. Ho lookcd it.
His admirablo form and charming rann
ners as mnnnors wont in thono days
won to him tho mon nnd womon of
tho scttlomeuts nnd mado him tho
fricnd of tho ranch boya whonevor ho
mot thcm. Somo of tho boys will yot
remombor him nnd tho livcly part ho
playod in tho drama of tho lnttor 003.
Kivnlriea that nro now turned to
wards tho mauagomont of tho corpora
tions and tho manipulating of tho
priccs of stock wore then in thnt scc
tion dcvoted to tho handling of herds,
and tho ranch that had tho Targest nnd
most cnorgetic forco of cowboys wns
tho one that had tho bottor fortuno in
that liue. Sorten, who soon gaincd tho
titlo of "Yellow-back." bccauso of his
customnry clothes of bright aaffrou,
was the leador of tho rustlorB. Ho
could scent n maverick farther thau
any ono along tho trail, and woo to tho
herder that allowed a bunch to remain
out on the prairie over night it was
likely to bo misBing for good.
Of courao thoro was nn cffort to put
a atop to tho prnctice of running in the
wandercra, for at least a reaBonablo
timo after tho flnding of the Bame.
But who could provont it ? Sorten
went to tho trail every night to see if
thero wero any wanderers who needed
protection f rom tho blizzards, and often
roturned with two or threo that had
strayed from somo pasaing hord. Ono
night ho did notroturn aa soon as usual
and whon ho cnmo in it was with a
white face and agitation written upon
his wholo body.
"What's tho matter, JimV" asked tho
chief herder.
"Soen a ghoat?" asked another.
" No, but I tell you, boys," wore his
words, " I'vo seen tho fastest rider that
over was in this valloy."
" Tell us about it."
" Thoro ain't nothin' to tell. I was
over in the upper ravino looking for
any a-wanderin' steors that might bo
necdin' caro an' had found two, whon
along come a atrangcr on horscback
and ordered mo to git. I don't take
nny man'a sass, and I told him bo.
What did that critter do but givo a
whoop an' scare them ateera bo that
thoy went bellowin' down tho ravino.
I followed of course, an' whon I saw
there wnsn't no chance to git them
homo turned round to look at the other
one. He sat on his hosa as quiet as
you please, an' when I looked at him
smiled, then with another whoop start
ed after the ateera himaelf, an' what do
you think, in a minute ho had 'om in
hia lino an' wae drivin' 'em home
which I take it is over the othor side of
the trail."
Itappeared afterwards that he had
tried to overtako the atrangcr, but fail
cd hence hia perturbation. Tho boya
all laughed at him a good deal, and ho
fairly haunted the trail to catch an
other glimpae of the mysterious visitor.
But it was a week before ho was aatia
fied. A day off was given the cowboya by
reason of the failure of a herd to get in
from the farther range, and we all went
up to tho town for a lime. Jim was
looking for eomething all tho timo, and
when bb we came within a milo of the
aettlement he cnught sight of a sorrol
horse nhead of us he gave a little cry of
joy and sank tho spurs into the tlanks
of his pony viciouBly. We followed
and wore by his side when tho sorrel
wa8 overtaken. Then we noticed some
thing that wo had not becn aware of
before the rider of tho aorrel was a
woman.
Jim's faco was a atudy. Ho waa so
aure of hia game, and when it came as
it did he wilted. But he braced up a
little aud began a conversatlon. It waa
the daughtor of tho chief herder acrosa
tho river, and she was about as pretty
a piciuro as often cnmo to tbo oycs of
the herders in the territory. She laugh
ed and joked with Jim, and ho deeorted
us to bo by hor side. Wo rode and lef t
them togothor.
That was tho beginning, and for
about a month Jim and his girl woro
the talk of tho country around. They
wore atuck on euch other if auy two
over were, and rodo up and down tho
rangcs llko wandering twin spirita.
Once Jim was scarod on tho rango
uain, and this timo ho swore thnt tho
visitor mndo him glve up ten hend of
the flncst calvcs thnt ho had evcr laid
cyes on. But nono of us Baw tho stran
ger aud tho opinion of tho ranch was
that Jim was a little leary that night.
Ono day tho order camo to go to tho
aouthwest after a herd and drive north.
It mcant two months of hnrd riding
and how Jim did hato itl
Ho rodo over to aee hia girl for good
by, and thoy had an affecting parting, I
ruess. She lovod him and wanted to
tnarry him beforo ho wont, but Jim
wouldn't hnvo it so, though ho prom
iaed thnt it ahould be dono aa soon as ho
returnc'd.
That was tho yearof tho caltlo suffer
ing on tho plains bccauso of tho rain
and aleet. The herdB woro unnblo to
get from tho ico the wot grass boneath
and starved and froze to death on tho
northern plains. In tho torritory thoro
was no suffering of thia sort, but tho
cold rain mado it hard for tho cowboys,
and they had tbo tougbost timo thoy
had ever seen to keep wnrm white on
ttio rango. Thoy rode un and down
tho lines wrappeu in bicr blanketa and
with all tho scarfa thoy could gather
around their uecka.
One night aa tho Btorm was worat

Thousands of men iti lonely hoines call

hord not moro thnn 200 half-etarved
cattlc that had evidently been berdod
tbrough tho summoron thoir way north
and had not bcon pushed faBt enough.
In the camp wagon that wns with them
wns a woman. She camo to tho ranch
houso to get somo food nnd wo kept hor
thore all night, tho cook's wifc sharing
a bed with her. Tho girl for she was
not more thnn a child asked if we
knew a Jim Morris. Of courao wo did
not, but when tho noxt morning she
took from her neck a locket and open-
mg it, suowed us tue tace of " Xellow
back " wo all looked blank enough, I
tdl you.
She went back to tho wagon, but
they did not get any farther. Tho man
got sick 8onjehow,andthe woman went
to tho other ranch, whero she mot
Jcanno Areoy, the girl that hnd the
lovo of Jim or thought she had.
Well, tho expccted happoned. She
told hcr troubles to Jeanne and tho girl
know Bho had becn raaking lovo to a
married man. Mad? Thero is no
word to expresB it. She fairly raged
and rodo the plains for dnys almost be
aide herself. She vowed that sho would
kill him nnd then was willing to forgivo
for the wifo's sake, But Jim did not
come then.
The wife atayed and grow sick faster
tban her father. At last sho med and
Jeanne was free. But those whoknotv
wero glad they had not the task that
was before Jim when ho came home.
Our bosB told us one day that tho
herd would be in in a week. The
ranch was prepared for the coming, and
the cowboys lookcd forward to tho
event with interest. for they would get
a day off in which they could go over to
tno Bettloment.
At last the herd was within a day's
drive and the wholo settlemeut was
waiting for it. The boya all knew tbo
aituation betweon Jim and Jeanno and
wanted to aee what would happon.
Jim was tired when he came into
camp and did not want to talk. He ate
his dinner in quiet and then said :
'Let's go over to the town."
Of course we were ready, and a half
dozon of ub went with him. On tho
way he asked if wo had seen Jeanne.
We told him nothing of tho visitor of
the past few week, and only when we
got to tho town did we see him look
cheerful.
Jim drank barder tban I had ever
soen him do that afternoon, and about
four o'clock was in a lively mood, ready
for any sort of an escapade.
Ab we rode down the little stroet wo
saw coming in from the ranches a
woman on horaeback. All the herders
fell back. They did not want to seo
what happened at too ehort a rango.
Jim recognized his old flnmo and
hurried forward to meet her. But sho
did not hurry. Instead sho was in tho
moet exasperating stato of deliberatlon.
"How aro yo?" cried Jim, so that wo
could all hear.
There was no answer.
"What'a tho matter?" ho demanded,
"Don't you want to marry me?"
Eor an answcr sho gave hor horse a
blow with tho riding whip and came up
to hia side. In hcr hand was tho raw
hidc. Sho liftcd it high and before he
could ece what sho was going to do it
came down acroea his face ngain and
acnin. Ho fairly howled with nnin, but
sho rodo back to her side of tho streel
nnd kept up tho highway.
"I'll kill hor," shouted Jim,andaway
went his horse to tho saloon whoro ho
had loft his rovolvor.
Ab ho stood before tho bar trylng to
get tho barkeoper to givo it up sho rodo
in frout of the houso.
"Jim Morria," sho cried, "como out
horo."
How white Jim turned I but ho wont.
" You cowardly sneak," she began,
" I thought 1 loved you onco, but now
I know you. Do you remembor thoso
nights that I UBed to acaro you away
from tho mavoricks ? "
Jim lookcd at her in aetouialimont.
Had ho beon outwitted by a woraau?
" And last month I held in my arma
a woman who had tliis picturo. Do you
know it?"
Sho held out tho miniaturo that waa
in tbo possession of tho woman with
the hord. Jim shuddered.
"Whore whero did you got it?"
" From your dond wifo's handB. Sho
believed in you and I did not toll hor
bettor. She dlod blossing you, and do
you know whero you ought to be?"
Tbo woman's oyes fairly blazed aa
aho eat thero on her horso and fnced
tho littlo company of herders and sa-looniets.
Jim uovor said a word. Ho quailcd
before tho angry woman, but ho was
too angry hlmaolf to givo up.
"You said a littlo whllo ago thnt you
would kill mo," sho bognn onco moro.
"Got on thnt horso and lot's see about
It."
A pony waa atanding noar by Jim'a.
On it'a back tho mon placed him, won
doring what would bo tho noxt movo,
but hoping that tho vongoanco would
flt tho crlmo.
"I'll count throo," said Joauno;
" then look out."
" One"
Jim wa8 unarmod what olao could
ho do? Ho jabbcd tho spurs into tho
pony and was oil llko a shot. Up tho
long strcct ho wont, and had 300 feot
tho start whon camo " Threel "
Then wo know why tho sorrol had
rounded up tho mavoricks. It rnn liko
tho wlnd. At tho sound of tho uiis
trcss's voico it was off nnd tho distance
bctwcon tho two leesenod. Out on tho
prnirio thoy sped. Thon cnmo tho cnd.
Whon within n ehort distnnco of tho
fleoing man tho woman drow a coilod
lariat from hor Baddlo and whirlcd it
around hor head.
Once, twico it circlcd and then
away in benutiful curves untll it sottled
ovor tho head of tho decoiver Jim.
Hor sorrol plantcd ita feot in tho eod;
thcro was a jerk, a fall, and thon away
ovor tho plain toward8 tho ravino,
whoro was tho littlo comotory, aho
wont, a dark objcct dragging at tho end
of tho ropc. Thoy di8appearcd behind
tho hilla nnd sho did not como back.
Indccd sho nevor camo back to tbo
Bettloment ngain, for she moved from
tho trail country a fow wocks lator.
But the boys wished sho would como
for thoy wanted to givo hor a voto of
thanks.
Howovor, thoy wont out that evening
and buried Jim by the aide of tho lit

FILTERED BLOOD.
Muridiv'H Method of Curiiifr Discases
Arouslnt' the Interest ot
Selentlst s.
rhysicians of nll schools nre beginning to
realizo that the primary cause of nearly every
diseiise that nttncks the humau system is tlie
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The hlood is constantly absorbing from the
difTerent articles of food takeu into the stom
acli, various inipurities, which, if permltted to
course throughthe system, quickly render the
blood unlit to carry on the process of healthy
nutrition nnd ultimately result in the develop
ment of disease.
It is the duty of the kidneys to filtcr the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the per
formauce of this function is immediately mani
fested in a general weakness of the body; a
tondency to givo out with littlo exertion. This
symptom is closely followed by otliers of much
moro distressing nature which it is often cus
tomary to attribute to other causes.
Jolm Morrow, an eminent chemist of Spring
field, Oliio, using as a basis for his work the
tlieory that the kidneys are responsible for tho
condiiion of our hcalth, has produced n new
renieily which he liai narned Morrow's Kidno
oids, the purpose of which is to act directly on
the kidneys climinating nll uiinatiir.il deposits
and rectifying the damago caused by their ex
istcnce. Tho remarknble results obUiined by this
medicine have attracted wide attontion and
cstablished a new method of trcating diseaso,
the efllcacy of which ennnot bo disputed.
Jlorrow's Kidneoids nro prepared in yellow
tnblets so small as to almost rob them of their
virtue in tlie eyos of those not versed in medi
cino, but so potent is their inlluence that their
effects nre noticed almoU immediately.
They are now on salo gencrnlly. If not to
