It was about 200 miles from Denver and . nnt n railroad near it So I went down bv stage. I worked awhller at tnln- ine, but I didn't make a strike, so I drifted down to a small town . then known as Cow Gap, but dignified now hv a loDRer name. I spent most of my money there, and one day I took It into my head to start out on a tramp. I headed for Pueblo, .a good way. off, I know, but I was in no hurry, and as there were several ranches only half a day's walk apart I was not troubled about food and, shelter. Folks are very hospitable in the wst I managed to get off the right trail while crossing one of the mountains, and although I was on some kind of a wagon road I didn't come to any ranch. I had some bacon, salt, matches, five, pounds of flour and a dozen large potatoes with me, so I lad no trouble in " getting " icuuukcu. -) il vou meet my father, Nicholas Greener?' "He stnrted from bis chair. 'You wm i mean to say that you are little Fred Greener? I see the likeness now though. Well, your father did me many a good turn. I'm more sorry than ever that you should have come here at tills time. The sheriff and a large posse are after me, and I guess there'll be a flcht' "The ranchman was an old friend of ' stood reaIy ,0 bat,lu my rather s. lie used to visit 'my fam-' ily very frequently when 1 was a youngster In kuee breeches. He wore no beard In those days. He had often given me tips, and ho was, I knew, : then a most extravagant man. I dim-; ly remembered that he bad held a prominent position in 'the street' and that he suddenly ceased coming to our house. I remembered also that my fa ther had spoken regretfully of his fall and that the commercial world had been astounded at the magnitude of 1 the series of robberies that he had com-1 mitted. I nlso knew that he had been arrested and 'jumped his bail, I think, with the consent of his sureties. Ho watched me for a moment while I pon dered on these things. Then he spoke again. " 'Don't breathe my name to any liv ing soul, Fred,' he said. 'It was sup posed that I was drowned on board the ,x i iB7K the frontiers- r merry Monarcn, bound for Buenos .. . . 1 ,, n. iii, Ayres. Never correct that impression jnow ror the events of the present. If the sheriff happens to meet my horse down the road, he will call in at the old ranch before he comes here. If not, he will be at the gate in 15 min utes. I won't surrender, and he means business.' "He paused and looked Inquiringly at me. 'What do they want you for?' I asked of camping out, as I had do blanket, but bad about resigned myself to it when I saw the smoke of a ranch. "When I reached the house I was attacked by two enormous dogs, but I beat them off and shouted until a woman appeared. She seemed sur prised and somewhat annoyed to see me, but when I offered to pay for my board she asked me Into the bouse, where a man was sitting by a huge fire. It seemed that he was simply a neighbor. The master of the house was away, the woman said. The neighbor was just keeping her com pany during his absence. The neigh bor was very sociable, but be seemed a trifle uneasy and wanted to find out all about me. I had nothing to conceal, so I made his pumping process easy work, and when, as I supposed he was satisfied that It was safe" to leave me alone with the woman said goodby to both of us, mounted bis horse and rode away. The ranchman was expected borne by 8, but be bad not arrived when the clock struck 10. The woman did not seem uneasy at his absence. ' She and I bad been chatting about many things. She bad Just shown me where i could sleep and was preparing to tarn in when I beard a horse's hoofs nnging on the frosty road.

I never rob my neighbors, but the present sheriff's father lives in the next county, and I took one of the old man's horses. Tbey swore vengeance. They hadn't any proof against me then, but they got on my trail last week and went to arrest me on a false charge that they got a poor fool who lost a mule lately to swear to. I never stole a mule in my life, and I won't be ar rested to lie In Jail until this sheriff can prove something against me. Now, I don't want you to get Into trouble, but as you are here you had better stay until the thing's settled. You need not help either side.' "During our conversation Mrs. King had been 'clearing the decks for ac tion,' as a sailor would put It. She bad brought Jialf a dozen rifles, a shotgun and two Colt's revolvers Into the room. Boxes of cartridges already lay close at hand, and thick shutters, evidently constructed for the purpose, were fas tened on the windows. My revolver still lay on the table. King transferred it to his pocket. 'If I am killed, tell your story, omitting any reference to our former acquaintance,' be said. 'This will confirm It, and so will Mary here. Won't you, Mary?' A tear trickled down bis wlfe'i cheek. 'Don't talk so, Tom,' she said, 'But of course if anything should bap pen I'll see that this friend of yours is not arrested.' Her DeoDle live In Kansas. She is nrovided for all rlKbt If I die.' said Klne as his wife left the room. 'Hello, here they are!' "The sound of horses hoofs was dis tinctly audible. The house waB pro tected in the rear by a bluff too pre cipitous to climb. One of the windows, at which King took his station, com manded the road and ail approaches. The nleht was moonlight. The thud of hoofs came very near and then ceased, I watcbed the road from a loophole in nno nf the shatters. Soon a white flaz appeared from behind the bluff. It was followed by the man who car ried It. He halted at the gate for a moment and balled the bouse. Ibe dogs sprang savagely at him. but seem ingly recognized an acquaintance, for when he spoke to tnem me creaimea llnfeprt his hand. " 'it'a Ezra Thornton,' said King in Inw t mie. "Tom! Hello, Tom!' shouted the flag hearer. Answer him. Mary, said King. Mrs. King opened the door. "Tom's not at home, Mr. Thorn ton.' she aald. 'If s so late that I can't ask you in.' The nherlff is here, Mrs. King. . Tom Is at home. I came .ino n us to nrevent trouble conld. Now, it ain't any good Tom s fighting. The sheriff's ridden from Pine lake on bis trail, and be means to take him if he has to burn down the bouse. Don't let him mate iruUU.c, M-bnt the door, Mary.' said King. A naif smile was on his face. His wife sighed. ' .. ., "It's no use, Mr. Thornton. ou must tell the sheriff that Tom's not at k .! that I can't open tbe bouse rr.t,. f nlrht ' she said. Thorn ton shook his head sadly and retraced bis steps. r-i. n,inni elsnged. Tbey seem ed an age to me, bot King lighted a cl Sr'andmoked'ltas placidly as If he were back in New York waiting to take his wife to the theater.

Then the dow showed that the marksmen had Beiecteu tlio right target. King bad risen to his feet and fired three times, wounding two more men. Another vol ley rang out. He was In the act of pulling the trigger. Three balls pene trated the shutter, and one wounded him In the shoulder. "Mrs. King turned pale, but she said nothing ami brought some warm wa ter from tbe kitchen, with which she Ills wound. Me bad no time to Rton fnr iimt Ti.a sheriff's men were almost within such an angle of the door as would render It Impossible to aim at them from the loopholes. King's rifle cracked again. It was answered by another volley from outside, and lie reeled back, wounded In the neck and thigh. He fainted from the pain, and 1, too, fainted from the nervous strain, I sup pose. I was only a youngster then, you know. "When I regained consciousness, the sheriff was Inside the house. He had been only slightly wounded. After King fell bis wife talked with the at tacking party aud admitted them off the sheriff's promise that her bus band's life should be protected. It would have been madness to bar them out, as they told her plainly that they would break in at any cost, even if they risked her life. ; "Two of the men wounded by King were very badly hurt. A doctor bad come up from Cow Gap with the sher iff, anticipating bloodshed, for King j had often quietly but forcibly declared I his Intention of resisting to the death any attempt that might be made to ar rest, hlin. The doctor had remained with King's friend, Thornton, behind the bluffs while tbe fight was in prog ress. Ho, attended to all the wounded. King was painfully but not mortally hurt. One of the others, however, was ln a very dangerous condition. Tbe whole party camped for the night at the ranch. I was placed under arrest on suspicion of being an accomplice of the horse thief, who bad been my father's friend. 1 "Tbe next day we went down to Cow Gap, where I was released on proving the truth of my story, but I was en joined from leaving town, as they wanted me for a witness at King's trial, which would take place as soon as bis condition permitted. A week later be was brought down and locked up in tbe wooden shanty that they called a jail. He broke out one night and made good bis escape, mucb to. the disgust of bis Jailers, who sup posed that weakness would effectually debar him from any attempt of that kind. A hunt was Instituted by the sheriff, who bad quite got over bis wound, but King bad covered his track as skillfully as when be fled from New York, and the search was completely fruitless. Ills wife vanished at the same time, and an attempt was made to track her, but she did uot go to her parents' home, and the authorities never solved the mystery of her dis appearance." Detroit News. GOOD ROADS WORKER SUCCESS OF A WOMAN AS A MOTtR OF THE CAUSE. IUa Helta ('. Ilnrlirr Una Done Mncb to Sprontl (he Uoaprl of Ularhn-ar Imnrovcmrnl-ller Method or Cam paiKnlnir A Good Orsanlaer. One of the most interesting figures In the national good roads und Improve ment convention held recently at Chi cago was Miss ltelln C. Uarber. In her official capacity as secretary of the In terstate Good Roads and Public Im provement association she read a re port which told of the educational and crusading work that was performed In several states last year, but there was a more Intimate and personal side to her varied experiences as a good roads promoter which tbe convention as a body did not learn. "I have been engaged in this work for three years," Miss Harher said to an Inquirer. "During that period I have visited ti dozen states and travel ed over 50.000 miles. Last year alone I traveled some (i.000 miles and, as I hope, planted the seed for good roads In mnny parts of the 1U states I visited namely, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota. Michigan,' Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas. Arkansas und Tex as. "In some state capitals they have called me a lobbyist, to which I an swer: 'Yes. I am n lobbyist. I was reared as a politician and have asso ciated with politicians from my crndle up. Why shouldn't I be a lobbyist?' "While on this point let me tell you of some lobbying that fell to my lot Inst year In Jefferson City, Mo.

The first $10 we ever loaned was way back In an awfully cold January day In 1800-7 or 1807-8. To wb.m do vou think? To Wendell Phillips! He had lectured here tbe night before and was naid $100. we believe, but bad sent off In a draft too much of It and hadn't enough to reach Iowa City via emergency train. He had to hire man to crank him on a band car to Columbus Junction to make connec tions. At the station a foot rest was nut on in front, and be sat munled on tbe small platform, bis feet stick ine- straight out as a cowcatcher. He was very merry over the contraption. He got through all right and sent us a $10 draft with thanks in a note writ- ten-in fine schoolgirl band. Where we trot tbe tenner we forget dug it up somewhere, but we felt quite set up over the financial feat of loaning money to tbe most perfect orator this country has ever known.

Kind I called on former Governor Stone and obtained from lilni letters of Introiluetloii to some of the biggest politicians of tbe state. After the legislature convened the committee on roads and highways turned me down three times. I was. of course, working for the ndoption of a good state aid bill. Kneli time the com mittee's stereotyped plan to get rid of me or put me off was to go Into execu tive session. At tbe third attempt I said: " Gentlemen. If you get rid of me this time you'll have to throw me out. I will not go voluntarily.' "They were too chivalrous to throw me out bodily, so tbey bad to meet me half way They bad 50 or 00 hill, on the stood road, proposition, out of which by a process of assimilation they finally got one good bill, which wa. re ported and adopted.

GOOSE FATTENING, pur)- now to Pea and Feed Whea Ins Geae and Goallnsa For Market, Geese for fattening should be penned upon high, gravelly soil or land that will not become muddy In wet weather. A pen for CO geese should be perhap. 40 feet or more square and should be bare of green crops and provided with some shelter from the sun. A good shelter may be made by putting four crotched poats In the ground, upon which rails may be laid, covered with white birches or boards. These may be fastened down, so that a high wind will not blow them off and Injure the geese in the pen. A wire fence four or six feet high Is suitable for the sides of the pen. In fattening goslings dur ing warm weather provision should be made for as much air as possible. If the weather Is warm, they eat less. consequently fatten more slowly. When the weather Is cool, they fatten more rapidly. When penned for fattening, they may be fed for one or two days quite moderately In a way to prepare them for the regular fattening ration. During this time they can have a little green food and such grain food as they have been accustomed to. For .fattening they should be fed upon scalded dough made from Indian corn meal and sweet lieef scraps. Water should be provided In pall or buckets, giving them a fresh supply three times dally, but only sufficient for them to drink and not enough for them to attempt to bathe, as water spilled around the pen Is likely to make the ground muddy, and any un necessary exercise Is a, hindrance to fattening. It Is better to have two palls, each half full of water, than one filled to the top. Goslings can get water only for drinking, which Is all that Is desired. Care should be taken that the scalded food Is always sweet and does not stand long enough to be come sour and unwholesome. It should be scalded Just long enough before wanted for feeding to become entirely cooled. Tbe cornmeal and tbe beef scraps should be of tbe very best quail ty and mixed In the proportion of one part of scraps to four parts of meal, by measure, and a little salt should be added. Just enough to season It, care being taken not to use too mucb. A wooden "feed trough." about 4 feet long nnd 18 Inches wide and deep, with flaring side. I. most convenient for mixing. A common Iron spade I used a. a mixer. Enough boiling wa ter should be used to swell tbe grain and leave It moist and crumbly, but not wet when cold.. Feed In tbe morn ing wbat dough the goslings will cat In an hour after, feeding. At noon feed whole corn In the same way, but : at night a considerably larger quantity of dough may be given them, as tbey will eat more sometimes dining the night when the weather Is cooler than during the whole day. A little powder ed charcoal should be mixed with the dough about twice a week. FOR YOUNGSTERS. Brooder Bnlldla aad Rooailnar Hoaaea oa a Maaaachaaetta Plant In Reliable Poultry Journal George IX Pollard has an Illustrated article reciting what he saw on a visit to the chicken producing section round about ningbam. Mass. One of the places he visited was that of Farrar Bros. Part of what Mr. Pollard says of this plant, together with two pic tures, follow: On a former occasion we spoke of houses 6 by 8 feet. In which the Far rar Bros, carried DO cblckens to a mar ket age and to weights which would run from 7 to 11 pounds each. -We now show a picture of several of these houses and of the large brooder build ing 200 by 10 feet, in which are used Individual brooders. There are also on this plant two other brooder buildings, one of which la 130 feet in length, with the overhead system of piped hovers. tbe other, somewhat greater In length, being equipped merely with a bank of pipe, on the rear wall of tbe house. The cblckens come from the piped brooder to this second building, the beat from the bank of pipes serving to keep the building at a suitable temper ature for their comfort. In the big 200 foot building, where they are start- nousu at rAniun bbos.' ed In Individual brooders, tbey are kept until such a time as tbe brooder, are outgrown, when tbe brooder, ore re moved and tbe cblckens are given the whole peu space. From this building, which I. shown In the Illustration, together with these house, or 0 by 8 feet, tbe whole being on a tract of land not exceeding three- quarter, of an acre, for the accommo dation of buildings, walk, and pens, there has been marketed every year for tbe last seven years an average of over 2.000 chickens, weighing from Ave to ten pounds each. This has been done In every one of these years with out Intermission and without any other care of tbe Mill tbau that which come. from the aiiuunl plowing and seeding with rye. That this success Is possi ble season after season In one of the remarkable facts which tbe writer has discovered In poultry culture. TO MAKE GEESE PAY. Ilalealnsr aad Ralslaar Poalia.

Decayed stump or pieces of partially rotted wood are greedily eaten by geese when fatten ing, and a moderate supply eems to do them good. It require, usually from 17 to 20 daya steady feeding to fatten goslings. If fed mucb longer than that, their appetite, are likely to fall, and tbey are also Inclined to molt, which of course aerloualy Inter fere, with fattening; and would also make tlTe bird bard to pick and un satisfactory wben dressed.

Something Akont a Branch of Poal trr Raisins That la Neglected, Why do not breeders nnd farmers In terest themselves more ln the growing improvement of pure bred varieties of geese? Here is a wide field for obser vation and labor. This part of the fowl Industry has most certainly been neg lected to a great extent In the various poultry Journals aud farm papers wa read of the large duck farms In nearly all parts of the country and especially In tbe cast, where thousands and tens of thousands of market ducks are pro duced annually, but not a line can be found In our Journals regarding geese farms. Green goslings and fat geese always command fancy prices In our eastern markets and never go begging for buyers. We predict that the time Is not far distant wben this branch of tha Industry will receive more attention than ln the past. Of the seven varieties of geese recog nized by the American Poultry associa tion and called standard varieties th Toulouse ore one of tbe largest and most popular of the geese family. It Is safe to say that more Toulouse are bred throughout the country than all other pure varieties combined. Opinions differ regarding tbe origin of the Toulouse, however. Our best au thority traces them to the city of Tou louse, province of Haute Garonne, ln southern France. Marked Improve ment has been made In both size and color by Judicious breeding in tbe hands of boffjf English and American breeders. Tbe standard weights for Toulouse are 33 pounds per pair for young and 38 pounds per pair for adult specimens. In selecting Toulouse tbe bead should be large and good shape, neck long, large and carried erect; back moderate length, broad and slightly curved from shoulders to tall: breast and body broad, deep, compact, nearly touching the ground and giving the bird a mas sive appearance; wingB large and strong, tall short and comparatively small, color deep gray on head, neck, back and breast, shading to white on lower part of body. As layers tbe Toulouse outrank all other varieties. A single goose If not allowed to sit will produce from 30 to DO eggs In a season, according to age nnd conditions. Care should be exer cised in the selection or breeding stock. Two or 3 year-old birds are far superior to yearling, as they will lay fully dou ble the number of eggs nnd will batch stronger and better gosling. One mnle will usually mate wltb two or three females If yarded together In January or February. If a gander has mated with but one goose. It Is some times very dllllcnlt to add one or two more geese to IiIh family, as be has very peculiar Ideas nlnng this lino. For good results In breeding geese should have the range of n immure field or mnrsb. as they are strictly vegetarians. If large flocks nre kept together, do not allow more than one male and three females for tbe best results. Past ex perience has taught flint the breeding stock should be ted sparingly on grain -that Is. only enough to keep tbem In fair condition, but uot to fatten during tbe rail and winter. They should have access to clover bay nil winter nnd will also consume large quantities of grass when tbe ground I covered wltb snow. Sufficient water must be supplied for drink and. If nolble a pond or stream of water to swim In. as tbey will re quire les grain aud keep In much bet ter condition. Nesting boxes should be provided for tbem In secluded places In different part, or the pasture. Our plan I. to take a box 3 or 3'4 feet long. 2 feet wttle and 2'4 feet high, cut an en trance In one end about 18 Inches square. Fill box one-half full of fine straw and place In a secluded spot. A nest box should be provided ror each goose, as many eggs are broken where two or more lay Id the same nest Care should be taken to gather tbem regularly when the weather Is severe.' We recommend chicken bens ror batch ing goose egg. Charles McClure In American Poultry Journal. mm.
