They come from a factory in the

A NATURAL TRAP.
I had been riding aerera) boars through
the hot dun of a southern ArUona plain
on the trip from Antelope to the home
ranch. I had not seen a living thing ex
cept the Kurrrinif liaards, when I noticed
ahead a man on horseback riding rapidly
toward me.
At that point the trail led across the
rreat cactus plain known as Lonesome
valley. It was not a valley at all in the
usual aenw of the word, but a broad, level
sween of aamly desert atretohlnK between
two abrnpt ranges of mountain. There
was not a tree on It more than ten feet
hiKh. but I will venture to say that there
were more rarietie of cactus and more of
those villninou plants to the square yard
than could be found in any other spot on
the globe. Southern ArUona I the gar
den of the cactus, and this desert must
have been ita own particular hotbed. I
had been in the country scarcely six months.
but I had already acquired a horror of
cactus thorns, and guided my horse qipng
the trail with a care which did not admit
of great speed.
The rider whom I saw approaching me
in Lonesome valley evidently had no such
fear. His animal, which he was urging
forward at a rapid lope, swerved easily to
the right and, loft, threading the mazes of
the cactus growth with the trained sense
of a Mexican pony.
As they approached I made out that the
rider was a Mexican. At a still cloaer
view I saw that he was a rather good look
ing Mexican, but poorly dressed, and that
evidently he was on a journey. Ue had
with him a canteen, a pair of worn, greasy
blankets, and a lightly packed gunny sack.
His hone was a homely, sharp boned an
imal, built for speed and endurance, forced
marches, and long stages without water,
but at present he was certainly tired. I
will not say 'tired out," for these poniea
are never tired out until tbey are dead.
The man checked his rapid pace as we
n eared each other, and I thought was
about to pass with the customary buenoa
diss, when he cast a quick glance at my
horse and reined in his own. I halted also.
"You bai verra- fine boas there, senor,"
he said, in a tone of the ntmost politeness.
My horse, which I called Montezuma,
waa in fact a larger and better shaped ani
mal than is often seen in that country. I
had picked him out for that reason on my
first visit to Antelope, and at the time
prided myself not a little on my choice. He
was indeed a horse of excellent appear
ance and action, but he had some defects.
His very build showed that he was a north
ern or an eastern horse and not native
born, and I found that he was by no means
equal to the native breed in endurance or
wiry strength. He could not travel as far
nor go so long without water, nor waa he
as sure footed.
However, he made an imposing appear
ance, and served me very well in my rides.
which were chiefly for pleasure
' He pricked up his ears, and the polite
Mexican said again, "You haf verra fine
boss, senor."
' "Yes, he's a very good horse," I replied,
not very cordially, but still with courtesy,
for It seemed to me politic to be courteous
to a man who vsas probably the only
human being within ten mile.
"He no born in thees countreef I see no
hoes lika heem in Arizona, nevare. But,
senor," with a glance at his own sharp
boned, panting beast, "there is one verra
eggscellanta Mexicans boss. I rida heem
now one, two, three day. I rida heem verra
hard and seel"
He touched the animal lightly with his
spurs, lifted the hand with which he held
the reins and leaned forward, roe horse
sprang instantly into a furious lope, as if
he had but just been saddled for the first
time. The Mexican wheeled him grace
fully in a long circle through the cactus
plants, and drew him In again on his
hannches by my side.
. "Ah, senor, he is the one boas of one
meellion! He go and go and go, and
nevare stop. He drink only the one time
a day, and be eat, ah, so leetlel In one
year he not eat so mucha as a burro. But
perhaps the senor," and here his face wore
a moat persuasive smile, "will lika to eggs
change? The senor will gif to me bees
boss, and I will gif to heem my magniflco
Chihuahua."
"No, I do not wish to trade horses at
all," I said, with less cordiality than be
fore, as I began to feel decidedly uneasy in
the presence of this smiling foreigner.
"No?" he said, in a tone of regret. Then,
after a moment, his face lighting up, he
added: "Ah, but the senor has nevare
tried heeml He does not know Chihuahua.
Ef he try heem only the once he see that I
tella heem the truth."
i He threw himself to the ground and came
toward me smiling. I now saw his plan.
He was ades Derate man, probably flying to
Mexico to escape the consequence of some
crime. My horse had attracted him at first
sight. Either he needed it to help him on
his Journey or thought be might sell it for
a good sum across the border.
' It seemed to me an excellent plan to go
at once, without losing any more time in
useless conversation. I turned quickly In
the saddle, murmured a somewhat unnec
essary "Oood-by," and sparred Montezuma
toward home.
The horse waa fresh, and started away
In good shape; but in an instant the Mexi
can bad sprung into bis saddle and was
after me. There was no doubt now as to
his intentions. As I looked back- I saw
that his (ace had lost its smile and taken
on a cruel, sullen look. He dug bis spurs
,111m, uu uvio., nuu Ul, 4U11UM )f 1 OIJ uiw
the same furious gallop that I had seen
before.
I My heart sank as I realized that it was
perhaps a race of life and death. The de
fects of my horse came to my mind with
startling distinctness. How gladly would
I have exchanged him for the boniest cow
pony in the country! The Mexican' horse
was not gainingon n now, for Montezuma
was fresh; but could he outrun that re
lentless pursuer on a five rqile stretch f I
Then what if Montezuma should stum
ble and throw me to the gronud head fore-,
mostf At the thought of this I turned I
again to the front. I could not afford to '
watch my pursuer. I must keep a clear
outlook ahead. If I could only guide my .
! horse safely around every hole and stone,
1 and across every wash, perhaps we could
yet pull away from the scoundrel behind
mn. I
At this moment something struck me s '
terrific blow In the back of the beau. I
thought I had been shot, aud turned
alowlv to look at mv murderer. The end
of a heavy, worn hum was just slipping
off the saddle behind me, and the Mexican,
i with an exclamation, was reeling it in, ev
! idently making ready to throw agnin. He
i bad seen that my horse wits gaining, and
! accordingly had recourse to that most ef
fective long range weapon, the lariat. Hi
' first throw had missed me by an iucb, and
he was cursing himself tor nis clumsiness.
I was not a thrower of the "lass" myself,
but I was familiar with it powers. One
flf thejougb sport of eowbpys, after wor!:,
Is to "rot)M on another, tn a wild ro In
and out of th corral on of thm trie to
throw hi rone so at to encircle th man
ahead without catching the bone at th
same time. If successful he drags him to
th ground, more or less roughly. But
this Is only play, rough as It is. It would
bs no play to b caught by th cruel rope
which the wretch was coiling on nis leit
arm. . ..
, 1 watched him a if fascinated. He
reached for the loop, opened it wide, turn
ed sldewlse tn the saddle and swung it
round bis head. It it caught me I should
be dragged headlong to the ground. If 1
leaned close to the horse it would close over
u both, and we would go down togathmr.
In either ease certain injury or death
threatened me. In utter despair I pulled
in my horse and stopped.
The Mexican rode swiftly up, colling his
lasso as he came. The hard look gave way
to the same smile that he had worn before,
but I thought 1 detected something grim
in it this time. Again, with that horrible
politeness, be said:
"Ah, the senor is too qiieek he no wait
tosaysdiosl But the hoss, he Is as I say,
he ia verra fast Will the senor no try my
hoss now? Si, si, I think he will lika try
Chihuahua now, He'ahoasis mucha tired;
he lika leetle rest."
In the same graceful way as before he
threw himself to the ground, and Instantly
caught Montezuma by the bridle, 1 was
entirely unarmed. I bad no doubt that
the Mexican was well armed and quite
ready to kill mo If I attacked him. I dis
mounted lowly, with bad grace. To my
surprise the Mexican handed me the bridle
of his horse with a bow.
"Now you shall try my Chihuahual
There is no more bettare In thees countree.
Yon will so say eef you will try heem only."
But I had no heart to mount I had lit
tle doubt that the beast which was now
leering at me with a vicious eye would
buck me off at the first jump. The Mex
ican waited a moment out of sheer court
esy, then mounted Montezuma and started
gracefully off. He did not push him to his
utmost at first but went down the road
carefully, aa if trying him. Then he turned
and came back at a somewhat better pace.
1 stood like a dummy, holding the bridle
of his horse and watching him. His riding
was a magnificent exhibition, but I waa
not in a condition to admire it
As if satisfied with the power of Monte
zuma, he turned again and came down
past me at full speed. As he passed me he
shouted a few words In Spanish to his
horse. The beast jerked back from me,
struck at me with his forefeet and was
after his master in an instant
The Mexican had turned in his saddle
and was watching us with interest As his
horse broke away from me a smile spread
over the man's face, which was more than
a smile of politeness, and he raised his hat
In a sweeping bow of derision.
I stood there as if paralyzed on Lone
some valley desert fifteen miles from
home, and watched the villain ride my
horse toward Mexico. , '
But th Mexican cared too much for
theatrical display. His people are the most
perfect riders In the world, and my enemy
was no exception to the rule. But be
made a mistake in assuming that all horses
are sa sure footed as. he was secure In his
seat This is true of Mexican ponies, the
only ones he had ever ridden, but it was
not true of Montezuma.
As the Mexican spurred him deep, still
looking back over his shoulder at me,
Montezuma came to a gully or wash.
There are thousands of these across every
road and trail In the southwest This one
waa out mora than three feet deep and five
feet across. A native bone would hare
juniied It or leaped into it safely, even If
It were six feet deep. But Montezuma, as
he came to the wash, made no effort to
jnmp over, but plunged In with his fore
feet set together.
As be strutk the bottom, which was of
rock loosely covered wit h sand, his knee
doubled under him like straws. The best
rider in the world could not hare kept his
sent The Mexican, still glancing back at
his own horse, went off as if hurled from
a catapult
Montezuma jumped up, shook himself
and limped slowly away. I involuntarily
ran forward. The Mexican did not rise,
and I guessed he was dead or stunned. As
I drew nearer, however, I could see that he
was not dead, but very much alive. He lay
on bis back, with his right arm stretched
out over his head, and he was writhing to
and fro as If in great pain.
The man certainly was in a serious pre
dicament When Montezuma stumbled
he had been thrown straight npon a large
fish hook cactus a low cylindrical va
riety, completely covered with long, recur
ring, overlapping, horny spines, of needle
sharpness and most tenacious strength.
They resemble enormous bone fish hooks
In everything but the barb.
If the Mexican bad struck this cactus
head foremost he would have been killed
outright As it was bis right arm bad
been thrust deep Into the long curving
thorns, and they had closed into bis arm
and hand, holding them in a grip of steeL
' As he lay there writhing on the ground,
his arm transfixed in a dozen places with
these inflexible hooks, I saw my enemy de
livered into my power. It only remained
to take advantage of the fortunate acci
dent which had humbled him. I first
searched him, and took possession of hi
knife and revolver. Then, very slowly, I
freed his arm, cutting away the softer parts
of the plant rather than trying the almost
impossible task of cutting through the
thorns.
As the Mexican rose I retreated to Mon
tezuma's back, and covered the man with
jthe revolver. My precautions were use
less. His arm was sprained ss well as
gashed In a dozen places by the cruel
hooks. He painfully removed these, and
bound his arm In a bandanna that he took
from his neck.
I motioned for him to walk ahead of me to
ward the ranch. We mode a slow and sorry
procession; the furious Mexican in trout,
Montezuma limping painfully, and myself
behind, the other horse following at some
distance. But a sense of triumph sus
tained me through the long journey.
At the ranch we dressed the villain's
arm, set a guard over him and sent for th
sheriff. He came, identified him as a dar
ing horse tblet wanted for several offences
in the northern part of the territory, and
relieved us of his company. Frank Gil

last Wednesday they met at the same

remarkable Interview :
"Mrs. Annie Jemioss-Mlllor In th
ack now ledged authority i n A meriea u poa
the subject of dress. An attractive
woman herself, she knows how to render
other women attractive in the highest
degree. I sought an interview: it was
granted, snd I give you the results:
"Do you think, Mrs. Miller, that
women aire made more attractive by
their dress?"
" 'That depends upon what you mean
by attractive.'
" 'Pleasing, fascinating if you choose
more charming to men and other
women.'
" 'A simply beautiful woman I seldom
attractive ; a stupid one never. It ia the
soul, the life, the brill Isncy, which rea
der women attractive.'
"I'll a.:mlt that, but what makes
women brilliant?' -
"'Vivacity, brightness and good
health. Did you ever see a sickly woman
able to entertain a dinner party of bright
people? On the other hand, did you
ever know cultivated . and refined
women, overflowing with animal life and
spirits, who was not fascinating?'
" 'So you believe perfect health Is the
secret of fascination, do you ?'
"'Most certainly. Artistle dressing la
proper, fine curves attractive, but life,
such as comes from healthy throbbing
blood, la alone fascinating. It is a great
mistake, however, to think that health
la preserved by dress aleae. Vfomu
must have proper food, freedom frost
care, and a good friend in need,' -
" 1 What do you mean by that ?"
"'Some assistance physically. All
women feel depressed at times, snd all
pleasure seems gone out of life. On all
such occasions, and Indeed whenever
blue or worn out, she needs help. I
know, because I have been In that con
dition myself.'
" 'Ana what do you do when In that
condition?'
" 'One thing, and one thing only. I
am assisted by the best friend that any
woman ever bad. It ia Warner's Safe
Cure. I mean it, and I have good reason
to speak as I do. You think I am a
rsrfectly healthy woman ; so I am, but
take several bottles of this great cure
every season just aa I take additional
care in the selection of tonic-giving food.
As yon know, there are certain times
when every (woman needs assistance.
At such times, and before such times,
there is, so far as I know, but one thing
that can help, aud that is the great core
I have named.'

who know women, what their trials and

The Hoaee a Woman Built.
It is seldom tliat a woman plans and
erects a house precisely according to
her own ideas. Some five years ago,
however, a foolhardy Bridgeport man
gave bis wife full permission to plan
and build a house as she wanted It
Then he went away to South Amerioa,
and was gone a year. When he came
back she ushered turn into a dwelling
consisting of a parlor, kitchen, bed
room and twenty-eight closets. In each
closet there were several shelves and
upward of four dozen hooka. Still,
when the Bridgeport man retired thai
night he left his clothe piled on a chair.
And he did not complain until the next
morning after breakfnat, when his wife
met him with a board off a dry goods
box, a dozen nails and a flat-iron, and
asked him if he couldn't put up an
other shelf In tliut small closet which
opened off the large front closet
Mia left thumb was still sore from
putting up a shelf before be went to
South America. He seized Ids hat and
started downtown, and as be went out
be noticed books on the outside of
the front door for the morning milk
man to hang his wares on, and
other hooks on the front gate

Catarrh Itemedy, With the poison

for a time, but there's danger of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But Dr. Sage's Remedy cwre It,
no matter how bad the case, or of
how long standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache,

And to prove it they make you
this offer: .
If they can't cure you, they'll
pay you 1500 in cash. It's a busi
