Mother, Isms you witu your nurwry light, leading your babies, all in whit, To their sweet rest; Christ, the Good Shepherd, carries mine And that is best! ; .' I cannot help tears, when I see them twine Their Angers in yours, and their bright curls sbin On your warui breast But the Saviour's is purer thnn yours or mine-- lie can love best! You tremble each hour because your arms . Are weak; your heart is wrung with alarms, And sore oppressed; My darlings are safe, out o reach of harm, And that Is best. You know over yours may hang even now Pain and disease, whose fulfilling slow Naught can arrest; Mine in God's gardens run to and fro, And that is best Tou know that of yours the feeblest ou And dearest may live long years alone. Unloved, uti blest; Mine are cherished of saints around God's throne. And that is best. You must dread for yours the crime that SCUD, , Dark ful't uuwashed by repentant tears, , And unconfesscd; Mine entered spotless on eternal years, v Oh, how much the ben I But grief is selfish, and I cannot see Always why I should so stricken be. More than the resi: But I know that, as well as for them, for m Ood did the best! New York Mail and Kipw j Btion was bad enough without that. At any moment lier horse might dash into j the midbt of the herd, nnd then neither j horse nor rider would have another minute of life to hope for. A linWtep at the terrific pace they j, were going would throw the horse to the I' ground and cant the helpless girl heud-- I long under the multitude of trampling hoofs. ' ' And it would do no good for Polly to call for help. Dick Mayhew was just in front of her now, riding at the same fu-rious rate as herself. But he supposed her well on her way to the ranch, and aini'l all that tumult shq could not make him' hear her louk'Rt Bcreams. Theri was nothing for her to do except to keep herself on the Wk of that runaway horse as long as possible and hopofof the br-st-. Polly had recovered from her first con-fusion of terror now, and was able to reason about things rathor calmly. A a result of this she felt u partial return of confidence in the horse that had played her this trick. She began to suspect that he was not frantic at all, hut only in earnest. He seemed to know per-fectly what lie was about and to be sat-isfied that it was the right thing exactly. It seemed an though ho fully understood what Dick Mayhew was working for, nn.l waci Irilrcr Ilia Iv'Ht. tfl llplll 111 111. " " rOLLY's"STAMPEDE. "You'll have to get out o' this, Hint Pollyl" shouted Dick Mayhew, ridinjt hastily up to where Polly Danvers sat watching the restless cattle. "There's going to be a stampede sure, and you'll be in danger. Ride back to the ranch as fast as you can go, won't you? Give the word there. I'll need help with this!" , The cowboy dashed away again as fast as possible, and Polly prepared to obey, but not so promptly as her trusty friend expected. Just for a moment she could not leave the fascination of that expected stampede. It would be delightful t see the whole performance, for it bade fair to be the most interesting thing that had happened since the beginning of her visit to her father's great cattle ranch on the plains. But she must go. She had promised her father, when he reluctantly gave his cousent to this her first visit to the herd, that she would do exactly what Dick Mayhew said. Well, at least she would have the wild delight of a free gallop across the prai-rie alone. There was rapture in that for a girl whose fifteen years had all been spent in an eastern city. She had learned to ride like an Indian since coming out I!ut why Dick Mayhew or anybody else should risk bis neck in a race with thut herd of cattle was a thing that puz-zled the girl. Nothing could stop them. An army of horsemen could not make tbein turn back. Yet all the timelier cowboy friend rode close beside the lead-ers of the herd, now firing a pistol in the air, now waving his arms frantically, now uttering sudden wild shouts. And at every fresh surprise the leaders nearest the cowboy edged a little away from him and shoved the inside cattle in the same direction. Ho, little by little, the man was forcing the head of the mad procession farther and farther from the straight linn of march. All at once Polly understood the whole thing. She had heard her father and his men talk about "winding up" a tam-peeli-herd. The thing to do was to push the leaders gradually around in a circle. The others would follow, and as the circle grew smaller and smaller" the front of the column would overtake the rear, and finally the cattle would be so helplessly wound up that they would stop in sheer bewilderment. This was what she Was helping Dick Mayhew to do. Suddenly her horse swerved a little and thrust his head fairly against the side of one of the maddened cattle, A pair of red, angry eyes were turned in here and bad become almost as fearless and self reliant as the cowboys. ' "Dick will need help, sure enough," said Polly, looking after the cowboy. "If it only weren't for that promise to father I'd stay and help him myself. I would, indeed!" Her blood danced at tiie thought, but with much firmness she put it to one side and prepared to depart. She made sure that hor equipments were all riht, even to the umbrella her thoughtful father had slung to the saddle in case of sudden ne" oessity, and reluctantly gave hor horse the long delayed signal to go. . The animal obeyed the signal and went; but the manner of his going took hi3 rid-er's breath away. The horse bad grown old in the cattle business, and it now be-came evident that his interest in that business nniounted to enthusiasm. Under protest he bad stood tolerably still until now, notwithstanding things were going on which demanded his ac-tive attention. But when he was re-quired to turn and gallop away from a Mtampeding herd of cattle, he simply re-fused to obey such a preposterous com-mand. So, instead of going in the direc-tion suggested to fiiin, he bolted and dashed after Dick Mayhew in line style. Polly had her wish in spite of herself, but she felt more dismay than exultation in the fact. This was a very different thing from sitting at a safe distance and wishing she could join in the chase. But she had no time for vain regrets now. The terrible predicament into which she was forced demanded all her thoughts and would require all her courage and self possession. It was a terrible predicament, indeed, and if she managed to keep her seat in the saddle and to keep safely out of the way of all those tossing boms and thun-dering hoofs, she would have something to be thankful for so long as she might live. v The crisis had developed with wondor-fu- l rapidity. When Dick's warning was given the herd had been restless and un-ruly; when Polly's horse bolted with her he raced after a great crowd of panic stricken creatures sweeping like a tor-nado across the plain. The stampede hud fairly begun. And, as is always the case in cattle stampedes, there was no appar-ent reason whatever for the commotion. If Polly could have remained quietly Jn her original position and watched the affair at leisure, she would have enjoyed such an exhibition as she had never dreamed of. All the cattlo of the groat herd had become solidly massed together and were rushing nt headlong Speed over the level ground. From u distance a groat dark stream would have been seen pouring onward with the swift undulations of a rapid river. From tho nearer point of view that Polly was forced to accept, more de-tails were visible, and some of them wore not pleasant to look upon. Everywhere throughout the mass ter-rible white horns tossed and rippled like the froth of tho angry current. Here and there, as one head after another was reared upward, the red gleam of mad-dened eyes was visible, Tongues that dripped with foam began to appear. If a beast was crowded from its feet it never knew what it was to tuko another step. Iu an instant it was overthrown, trampled upon by hundreds of hoofs and left dead upon the ground. And the noise of the living torrent was fearful. The thunder of the gallop-ing hoofs sounded incessantly; there was a perpetual roar from tho bellowing throats; the rattling clash of horns as the tiding heads struck together was like the beating of hail and the panting oMhe hurrying brutes sounded like the . . n wind. And closeMpon the edge of this horned army so close it 6eCined sometimes that a pair of waving r, ns must catch in her habit skirl the fiWhtened city girl was being hurled alongSv her unman-ageable horse. But though frightened rjSw in good earnest Polly kept, her wits lout her. With one hand she held her flying skirt away from those threatening horns and the steady firmness i her holo on the bridle kept the horse from crowdiing into actual contact with the outside caule. It was a fearful race. Kono ii the maddened creatures p:l the eliglitest Polly's direction, and they seemed to see for the first time this meddlesome out-rider. With a bellow of rage the crea-ture lowered its wide spreading horns, and without further warning straight-way charged upon the horse and its help-less rider. Polly did not scream. A tightening at her throat made her voiceless. Her dan-ger was fearfully great and she knew it. In an instant the terrible enemy was upon her. He had dashed away from the herd beyond her horse, and then turning with lowered head was making his onslaught. The girl saw that even if she escaped deith on the points of those dreadful horns she was likely to be cast headlong upon the bristling horns of the galloping herd, But the wise old horse saw the danger as "quickly as she, and knew fur better how to manage it. Just as the lowered horns almost touched him he swerved suddenly, turned sharply about and gal-lo-d to the rear. So the horns aimed at the horse struck a member of the herd and aroused great anger in him. In a moment the horse had turned again and was in full career toward the front once more. With difficulty Polly had kept her seat through these swift aud surpri.'""? evolutions. Now, when she faced about, she saw two furious members of the herd detached and in hot pursuit, not of her, but of Dick May-hew. If one horse could not be over-thrown unother would serve! In one awful second the girl realized both the peril of her faithful friend and her own inability to even warn him. In unother instant the shock would be upon him and he would be killed before her eyes. If only he could be made to know of his danger! If only she could attract thosi furious creatures to herself once morn! With a flash of inspiration Polly saw a faint possibility of rescue. With cries and with blows from her small fists she urged the horse to a swifter run, so that the distance between her and Dick be-came less and less. And then, laughing aloud at the absurdity of her device, she bent down and unslung her umbrella from the saddle. As she grasped the handle she was close behind the cowboy. But so were the pursuers she strove to rescue him from. Before she could cry out both the en-raged creatures had struck Dick May-hew- 's horse, and the poor animal lay bleeding and disabled on tho ground, while his stunned rider struggled to free himself from the entanglement which held him. . Tho forco of the collision threw both tho assailants backward toward the herd. Before they could recover from the recoil and renew their charge the horse which had begun (he disturbance swept, with his plucky young rider, be-tween them and their victim. As Dick Mayhew struggled to his feet he saw tho amazing apparition of Polly Danvers Hying past hiiu like the wind. She had something in her hands, and as she passed the two brutes, which were about to charge upon him for the second time, he saw them both dash backward iu affright. In tho sudden rebound they were caught beneath the hoofs of their companions and in a twinkling tho life was trampled out of them. Polly had found her weapon at last, and it bad done good service; for it had enabled her to save the life of the friend who, in another moment, would have been a mangled corpse beside his horse. As she rode forward she had grasped tho handle of her umbrella with one hand, while the other hand was on the spring of this extraordinary implement of warfare. In dashing past the two threatening creatures she had suddenly, and with a wild scream, spread the um-brella in their astonished faces, with tho result already described. And as he looked, Dick Mayhew saw the umbrella at the head of the stam-- j peding herd, still opening and shutting like the flapping of a great black wing. , j That evening, when at last Dick May-hew had fjot her safely back to the ranch, and when everybody was makiag a tre-mendous ado over her, Polly produced great consternation by suddenly declar-ing witli lunch emphasis: ; ' "I'm going Imck home I'm afraid of cows!"
