A BRAVE FOOL Br ESTHER VANDEVEER 1AND George Carroll wis imunterlni; ncroxs a Odd ns free from enro ns tlio tiny ho was born. Ho whs tooklnc up at tlif sky, over which white clouds were will Inc. as lazily ns ho walked. Ho was a city chnp, who hud been ordered by bis physician to ro to the country, oven though the Jnnunry winds were Wow ing cold, and recuperate. Ho was thinking ns ho walked what a hum drum thing life was, to ho sure, how free from any kind of risk or excite ment his own Individual life was and how when he was "bowled over," ns ho expressed It, It would probably he by an nnlmnlculc, no small that he could not see it, entering his Hystem, In creasing and multiplying vigorously, tho colony nt last cntlng him up. Htrango It Is how often fntu Is doing with us whnt we least suspect At the moment this Inst Idea entered George Carroll' brain n death denting force was driving nt him from behind. A shadow, accompanied by tho sound of horse's hoofs, shot transversely before him. Turning, ho snw n girl on horse back In a red coat, moving between htm and n bull that was making for him, the girl glancing hackwnrd ns she rodo to observe tho bull. Hho was about to turn and rldo back ngulu when tho bull caught sight of her, abandoned thn straight lino ho was fol lowing In the direction of (ho man mid turned his attention to tho girl. Now, George In regard to nil mat ters pertaining to the country was very stupid. He did not rcullxo that he was or had been In any danger. He did not gather from what ho saw that this girl, seeing the bull going for lilin. had leaped n fence and ridden between him mid his enemy for tho purpose of turning the animal from him to her self, Instead of thus taking In Die situation mid getting out of the Held ns soon as possible, he stood looking at the bull chasing the girl. The Inctoiuro was about ten nenn, and George Ntood near the middle of It. The girl led the bull im far ns possible from him, then turned and, eluding' the iinlmnl ni dexterously as n toreador, galloped n way In the opposite illrec lion. Hy that time It began to dawn upon the city man that the horse and tho girl were being pursued by the hull for the purpose of goring. Hut not even yet did he realize that she had taken this danger upon herself for the piirMM) of saving his life; that had It not been for her n pair of horns would have taken lilin In the back, broken It nud tho earthly spark of his exlHteneo would have gone out foruver. What occupied George Carroll's mind to tho exclusion of nil else was thn danger that threatened the girl nud what ho could do to relievo her from her perilous k)moii. Tho only thing he could do was to run for tho fence ns fast ns his legs could carry him mid ellmh over It. If he hud done this the girl would linve made her exit as she list) made her entrance --hy urging her horse over that niiiuo fence. Slie was walling for him to get out of the Held before securing her own safety. It Is singular how n bravo man may be n fool, or, rather, is not u good dmil of what we rail bravery folly? George hy his stupidity was leaving both him self mid (ho girl In danger. Hho could see htm standing there gaping at her. hut was so close pressed that she was unable to iniiko n sign to him to My for his life. Ncarlug the opposite end of the field, she turned her head to see George running toward her! She could havu Jumped the fence, lint when she snw the man she was trying to savo hurrying ngalu Into danger. In stead of saving herself she turned about and started ngalu nernti the fluid, If Nhu went near tho limn tho hull might leave her mid turn upon him, Ho she galloped diagonally nuross the field, waking an effort nt u sign for him to leave It. Itnt ho did not understand nud. turning, continued his pursuit of her. Then followed events In such quVk succession so quick that (leurgu eimltl scarcely separate, them. Ho saw the horse stumble nml fall; he saw the hull's horns go Into tho horsu'a bully; he heard h report, mid the bull, too, fell to tho ground. A man dropped u gun, d uhed to the fence and, jumping It run to where the girl was trying to get up from tho ground. George and the man reached her at tho Name time. The man lifted her up, and she stood oil her feet. "Are you Willed)" nuked the man. "No; not won hurt." Then the man turned to George. "Vor heaven's sake," he cried, "how In the world have you escaped tho fool killer all the.se years?" -He's not a fool nt nil." said the girl; "he's a bruvo man. Ho didn't real he hi own danger, he was so Intent upon mine." When George Carroll realized what the girl had douo for him nud how he had stupidly come very near being tho cause of her death he was paralyzed. As It was, tie hud been the cause of tup loss of her horo and a bull worth 1100 had been shot Fortunately George had n fortune and could repair the monetary damage. The rekt of It could not bo paid for In that way. Hut fate, when George was walking across tno hold regretting the unevent ful tenor of his life, had another pur poke. All this chain of events was but oue of fate's tricks to make a aatch. Tho girl reaped her reward by helping George spend this income.

BON HAM & CURRIER The Best Light At The Lowest Cost ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes, ofhees, shpps and other places needing light. Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light. Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in anyplace, thus affording any desired distribution or light. No other lamps possess these qualifications, there fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are mindly replacing all others in modern establishments.
