"T remember once in the rpring of
I MSii wc were coming over the trail
with a band of fully 4.0OO iieud of the
wlldest-oyed Texan that ever found
ri-Ming place In a lang!itcr botifce. The

'tlincK the atiniipedc of the herd was
averted only by tlic prompt appear
ance of the entire band ol cowbovK,
who rode u round the herd until the
i.lonn bad pushed. At night four night
rider were regularly detailed to circle
about 1 lie band, Mantling gunrd, u it
Is termed, and Hinging to the immense
herd. Strange as it muy seem, entile
arc quieted quicker by 1 lie note of
the human voice than by any other
known agency. When night fulls nnd
the night rider begin upon their cir
cle about the gathered cattle, the
rounds of familiar air ring out clear
upon the night nir, and yon may see
the cattle gradually sinking down to
the ground, a though Koothcd andcon
soled by the singing. Round nnd round
the band ride the night rider, meeting
each other as they circle iu opposite
directions, nnd always singing. Trilling
incidents have been known to stam
pede the quietest band. Occasionally
an Inveterate cigarette amoke will
Ktrikc a parlor nintch and the shoi,
shnrp snap of the mutch as it is Ignited
will arouse the sleeping steers and it,

chase over the gloxysny prairie.
"Wo were about four day from the
end of our journey and' looking for
ward with pleasure to a speedy cessa
tion of the continued anxiety of the
trip, when a tragedy was enacted which
cast a gloom over the spirits of the out
fit, and from which old plainsmen pre
dicted disaster to the trail herd. Our
cowboys were for the moat part Tex
nnn and Mexicans, the former hot
headed and quick to take offense, the
Intter treacherous and revengeful. Be
tween two of the riders there was ill
feeling, arising from some trivial dis
agreement nt the beginning of the trip.
The difference between the men was
gradually aggravated until only a spark
waa necessary to cause an explosion.
The climax came In the morning. Lum
Jeffreys, a Texan rider, lighted a ciga
rette after he had finished his break
fast, and uftcr taking a, few jvhiflfn of
the smoke tossed it. carelessly away.
It waa carried some distance by the
wind and fell directly into the coffee
cup In the hand of Perfect Noblcz, n
Mexican, tho bitter enemy of Jeffreys.
Whether accidental or intentional, the
not was attended with tragio conse
quences. Noblcz sprang to his feet and
reached for his six-shooter, hi fuce
flaming with paBslon. One of the boya
called loudly to Lum, whose face was
turned away, to look out for Noblez.
Jeffreys turneo realized the danger
that incnuced him and leaped behind
the huge supply wagon, drawing his
revolver at the same instant. Noblez
sprang to the other side of the wagon
to meet him as he reappeared. As No
blez leaped forward his head was
thrown forward, presenting the top of
It to tho aim of Jeffreys, and the latter
planted a heavy 44-caliber ball In the
very center of Noblez' skull, Tho Mexi
can dropped llko a stricken bullock as
Ihe. heavy ball crashed through hlsskull
and into hi brain. All waa excitement,

and1 there were various vlcwiwif the af
fray. The Mexican insisted that Jef
frey had Intentionally provoked the
trouble, and there were angry look ex
changed among them which presaged
more trouble. Kinully the mutter was
coinpromikril by the arrest of Jeffrey
by the entire band of rider, who de
prived him of hi weapon and made
li tin give a solemn pledge to appear
regularly for trial when the outfit
should reach the nearest town.
"The body of Noblez was burled and
the boy went about their usuul work.
Hut there was a general feeling' of de
pression. In the. afternoon the heaven
wre overcast nnd deniie musses of
black cloud were ominous of trouble
Willi the nil tic. The usual guard waa
dim bled, and a daikneKK settled around
vivid lightning began In play among
the cloud banks, netonipaniid by peals
of thunder. The lightning Hashed stiil
brighter and at shorter interval, and
the rumbling of the thunder grew
deeper and almost Incessant. The cat
tle were mien, refusing lo lie down,
tossing their heads wickedly and
threatening to stampede nt any In
stant, t or perhaps an hour the night
gunrd sought iu vain lo quiet them.
With each succeeding peal of thunder
thty became wilder. At length there
wn a sullen roar of thunder like the
noise of cannonading, a rippling volley
of short, sharp crushes like t lie rattle
of musketry, a flash of blinding light
which enveloped t he- swaying herd in a
lurid glare, nnd with a roar that rivaled
tUe thunder nwny sped the thousand
of bewildered and frightened animal
across the prairie.
"Forth from the camp rode the cow
boys, nnd on through the darkness they
spurred their hones, after the flying
herd. It wn n wild. ride. Occasional
flashes of lightning lighted up tlio scene
and cKUblcd the r:t!er to catch fleet
ing glimpses of t!:c forms of their cora
puuioux In the distance the irregular
iiutliiies of the moving m:'ss of cattle
could be ccen as they fled with undimin
ished s-pred. The race Instcd for hours
before the herd wa surrounded, milled
und st-cftssfnlly rnundcdMip. Then be
gan the work of driving the herd back
to the neighborhood of the cump. Ex
hausted ati'l footsore, the cattle were
quiet enough now, and several hours
were cr.r.f nneih in retracing the milcB
that hml been covered In1 the mud race
in the darlrness.' It. was nearly daylight
'when cftmp was reached.
"In the morning it wns discovered
that t.um Jeffreys was mirdng. There
wns c-Mcrnation among bis friendfi,
w'. o v......ti bnve gone bail with thdr
livft that I .mu would answer for trial
as l.c bad promised. The Mexicans
tiioprt' at )'!: flight, insisting that he
feurn' ' . icsiilt of a trial. Only one
oxplnmition was offered that Lum had
taken ndvnr.tan'e of the confucion of the
previous night, to seek refuge in flight
"The trip ended uneventfully enough
after that, and the herd was safely dis
chiiigtri ti.on the broad ranges for
which it was destined. The incident of
.ieffreys vns nearly forgotten. It was
fully a year after the memorable stam
pede when- two of us were ridiing ucross
the snn:c country through which wc
had ridden on thai wild right. The
prairie was brown and fere, where the
hot sun had robbed the gins? of its
green, und a stretch of unbroken prai
rie offered a monotonous vista of un
relieved grazing lundi In the distance
there was one irregular object winch
shone white in the sunlight, resembling
the Darkless- trunk of n fallen tree. Cu
riosity impelled us to vide closer, and
at length wc distinguished-the skeleton
of n horse. Dead horses were too com
mon to invite close investigation, nnd
we were about to ride away again: when
one of the men insisted that the ani
mal' bones were surmounted with a
saddle. Acnin wc nenred the skeleton
and were shocked to distinguish in ad
dition the skeleton of a man. The mem
ory of the stampede of the previous year
and the disappearance of Jeffreys in
spired us nt once with the belief in the
identity of the bones which lay there
bleaching on the prairie and the man
ner in which the unfortunate victim
hnd come to his death. The prairie
roundabout Vus deepty marked, where
it. hnd been trodden by the hoofs of
flying cattle. The bones lay directly
In the path of the stampede, nnd the
saddle and trappings of the horse we
at. once identified when we dismounted;
nnd made n closer investigation. Jef
freys hnd not fled, after all. but had' lost
his life in- the performance of his duty,
nnd the whitened bones which lay there
In tho sunlight attested mutely that the
aspersions upon the honor of Jeffreys
were undeserved nnd thnt hp bnrl mnp
In n lllclinf. lllHiwrnnnl. ttion nnra I

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
ia due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of -that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
uniwioiu manuiaoturea by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions ol families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
