- Henry Pope owes his life to a dream
of bis sweetheart, Nadino Delane, A
few nights ago Miss Delane dreamed
; that her sweetheart, Henry Pope, was
1n great danger,1 and she at once got
out of bed and went to his rescue. She
rode straight to the spot where she had
.seen Henry In ber dream, end she was
" somewhat surprised to discover thnt
she had arrived none too soon to be of
dBervice to the young man, whose peril
(was even greater than she bad antici
pated. .: - :'
This strange affair happened In Ma-
son county, Tex, about ted miles west
of Castelle. Miss Delane is the only
daughter of a well known rancher" on
the Llano river, and Mr, Pope la a
farmer and raises cattle in the. same
neighborhood. The young man baa
"been a visitor at the bouse of Mr. De
lano for several years, and everybody
tsnew that he was much more than a
favorite with Miss Nadine.
Though this region bas been sparsely
ettled for a long time on account of
Its close proximity to the mountains of
the Llano river, the pastures are fre-
f XASnnt GALLOPED TOWABD THX THE.
fluently visited by beam and . large
tands of hungry wolves. Coyotes are
celdom dangerous, though they often
Scill young cattle. The Iobo wolf is
much larger than a coyote, and It of
ten hunts in great bands. A pair of
these ferocious animals are capable of
dragging down and killing a full grown
teer. When food is scarce in the re
gion called the "Roughs of the Llano,
numerous bands of these hungry
ibeasts frequently swoop down on the
'pastures of the plains, killing and
xn aiming hundreds, of fine. steers dur
ing one night Though they are ever
ready to fight a man there are times
.when they are more dangerous than
-others. It is certain that they will al-
jways attack a man on foot when they
Are hungry.. They have been known to
prowl about over the plains in bands
eager and ever ready to spring at the
throats of horses, men and cattle.
Nearly 'every cowboy in that part of
Texas has a story to tell of a battle
that he has fought with a hungry Iobo.
, Sometimes long periods pass and the
lobos are never beard of. During such
times the cattlemen and farmers grow
areless, and they ride about unarmed
jgets hurt by a wolf.
On Sunday morning Mr. Pope had
tarted on horseback to visit his sweet-,
heart, and near sunset when be was
jwithin about six miles of Mr. Delane's
ranch, he noticed a large band of Iobo
wolves crossing a pasture and moving
in the direction of a bunch of steers.
He at once galloped toward a point of
timber with the Intention of getting
between the cattle and the wolves.
Vhen he emerged from behind the
trees, he found that the battle were
Just in the act of stampeding, and the
wolves were ready to fly at their
throats. Drawing a revolver and driv
ing the spurs into bis pony's flanks, he
raised a cowboy yell and charged Into
the pack, shooting several of the lead
ers. The cattle proved .to be a gentle
terd, and instead of running away
they began to mill, doubtless expecting
tliat the cowboy would be able to pro
tect tbem. and be might have done so,
4ut his pony sterped into a prairie dog
tole and broke one of his legs.
Pope was now on foot between a
Ijunch Of frightened cattle and a big
land of hungry wolves. Lie attemrtwl

By a
Drcixm
geous young fellow said it gave bun
some consolation to feel that he would
not have to die fighting in the dark
for the first few minutes that the
young man passed in the tree be enter
tained a hope that the pack would
finally go away. On the contrary, their
number appeared to Increase, and be
could bear others bowling on the hill
tops far away, evidently coming to
swell the throng. He could see them
gnawing at the roots of the tree, and
there were moments when be thought
that the little mesquite was swaying
and ready to fall and throw bis body
to the ground to be torn to shreds by
the snarling pack. (
He was about to spring to the earth
and fire bis last shot into the mad
throng in the hope of reaching another
tree when be beard the hoofs of
norse ana soon axterwara his own
name called.
He was not mistaken.. His faithful
sweetheart was riding toward him at a
full gallop, directed . by the' bowls of
the wolves. She had dreamed that she
saw him In a tree near a well known
point of timber surrounded by a pack
of howling wolves. '
' She awoke greatly distressed; but,
persuading herself that a dream was
an illusion not to be depended upon,
she again, fell asleep. The strange
dream was repeated, and the now thor
oughly distressed girl sprang out of
bed and after securing a well, loaded
Winchester and saddling her pony she
rode with the speed of the wind to the
place that had been so faithfully pic
tured in her dream. --,
The little mesquite was fast yielding
to the attacks of the sharp fangs of the
wolves when she came within sight of
the surprised young man. He recog
nized her voice, but he could hardly
believe the evidences of . his own
senses; Nadine, now thoroughly cred
iting ber dream, 'galloped straight to
ward the tree, pouring a blaze of fire
from ber Winchester. Tope dropped
from the swaying : mesquite on the
back of the pony behind the glrL :
Splendid Courage
. Of a Swedish Maiden
Tor two days and two nights pretty
Mary Olaf sen guarded her father's
wealth at ber rifle point and the min
ers of Arizona are making up for her
a medal of the yellow metal for which
the risked ber life. '
A month ago Olaf sen, with his eight
een-year-old daughter and son of
twelve, came into the PJcacho Blanco
country, when the rush of prospectors
Into that country had Just begun. Olaf
sen luckily fell upon a very rich piece
of placer ground, and in a brief time
he, his son and daughter were panning
out large quantities of the glittering
dust
On a ledge far up a hillside from bis
placer fields Olafsen dug out several
pockets of nug
gets. In his cab
in was stored a
quantity of gold
reaching well up
Into the thou
sands. Ramon,
his trusted man,
advised Olafsen
to send his gold
to ft safe place,
but the Swede
laughed and de
clared he could
not 1 leave his
work to look
after his stored
wealth. , .
One day Olaf
sen fell 11L and
from the Mexi
can camp below
a Mexican doc
tor , came. For
days, the min
ers daugnter
watched at his
bedside, and he
steadily grew
worse. Finally
in total exnaus-'
tlon she left Ramon and the doctor to
watch by the sick man and retired to
the main room of the cabin. Half
whispered talk in the room adjoining
aroused her, and. rolng to a crack in
the wall, she peeped through. The" doc
tor was giving her father a potion and
Ramon, the- traitor, was "pulling the
bonrds from the floor where lay the
hidden gold,, where he bad spied arid
watched Olafsen place It '
Seizing her father's repeating rifie.
she threw open the door and covered
the Mexicans. Ramon cowered on the
floor, but the doctor , rushed for the
girl. A bullet met him half way, and
he lay still wliere he fell. The young
son of Olafsen rushed in at the gun
shot and while Mary kept the faithless
Ramon under her aim the lad bound
the Mexican tightly.
It required but a glance nnil a whiff
of the medicine to tell the girl that the
doctor had been slowly killing her fa
ther. Hours of hard work by the girl
brought him back to consciousness,
while her brother climbed the moun
tain in the rear before dawn and has
tened by a circuitous route to t
est white camp, twenty miles away.
Early in the day the girl saw several
Mexicans coming from below, tlouht-
s ia search of their countrymen. As
the tc-arcst came la e.'ght she frei a
