Just think of It: A little sea of Ion?.; bronchia? boros and thin, nervous faces. A roar jfoes up now anil their from some bometlck animal, and here and there two engage in a hooking contest tearing atone another's sides as if to inflict dozily injuries.JJut all (be time the great living mass is moving northward with an irregular motion, while a score of wide-batted herders, mounted on wiry, excitable broncho ponies, hwur on the Hanks and sides. ■’ It is the annual cattle drive.A barren path, from forty rods to a ■qtiarUT-miie wide, stretching over hill and dale, across prairies and through tho undergrowth of the river bottoms, extending nearly six hundred miles from the plains of Texas to the foothills of the Rockies, in Wyoming Territory, with scarcely a blade of grass along its entire length—that is tho famous cattlc-trai! of the West.It is the track over which hundreds of thousand* of cattle arc driven annually to and from the feeding-grounds of the North and those of the South.It also sorvcB as the road from the ranges to the railway stations, when the marketable stock, is to be shipped to an eastern destination.It was such an object that induced the drive from the Harlan ranch, in September, lbs Tho cattle were to be loaded aboard tho cars at Dodge City, Kansas, ant! shipped to Chicago's great packing-bouses.The herd moved slowly, and it was not difficult for tho camper's wagon, or pralrio schooner, that was accompanying it, to keep close to the cattle.Tho driver of the wagon was a mover.” He had been trying for a foiv months to malto a living in Texas, but had not succeeded, and was going north to spend the winter with his wife's folks.or something else that t-intcil the wild, cotamed cattle in the cowboys’charge, ocruld not be told; but Mack, upon gaining a view of the herd, taw a sight that Mat u much terror tpbls heirtis it did to those of bis comrades. lt;A stampede was about to occur! 1A stampede is a serious matter. It mc-aas danger, and perhaps death, to the driver*, and loss to the owners. With 1 wild, unreasoning impulse the mighty herds will rush pell mc-11 in one direction, scattering m they go. those behind pushing era those in front, until sometimes a dozen miles an- put between their starting-point and themselves.The procedure of the herders in such instances Is to keep the animals close together and guide them in a long curve; neck and neck with the leaders they madly ride, miming them a little from time to time, while those in the rear follow blindly on. Should 'a ravine be me: with, a hundred or more of the herd may he trampled to death before a halt lt;-an be called. The herders take particular pains not to be overtaken them-•clm. as horse and rider would be an unrecognizable mass of crushed flesh and bones should the avalanche of cattle strike them. . - - ■So the twenty cowboys were not pleased with the indications o! a stain-1 pede. The cattle with one accord raised their heads high in air, and angry snorts began to be heard in every direction. Then in long, swinging trots they came toward a common center, though all the time hearing eastward.When they had “hunched1' in a crowding, heaving horde, the start was made. Cowboys and dogs were paid no more attention to than the flies on their flanks.There is no stopping them, nor yet is there any guiding them. The herders can do nothing but watch the river of horns and hides roll on to the sound of bellows and hoof beats.Mack saw it, and ho looked still more anxiously for his little golden-haired Julie, to whom he was so much attached. More carefully ho scanned the prairie.Suddenly he saw, far oil to the east, perhaps a mile away, a white straw hat.It was the child’s.The cattle were rushing together and moving in the baby’s direction.It were wonderful, said Julia's father, in telling me of the incident a few days ago, how cool ho looked. The other cow-boys were that bad rattled they couldn't stir, but he jest stood an’ thought, liko he was only goin’ across a street. It was out 0’ tho question fer him to git to the baby, but in a minute tberc come a thought to his mind.Yer know no human bein’ kin stop stampeded cattle. All the herders kin do is jest ter koep tho creatures in sight an’ tcrgethor. Mack jest went ter one of the tents, an’ then came out with a bag filled with something in his hand, mounted a pony, an’ in a minute was riding past the cattle.‘‘Surprisin’ how fast rncy gotunacr way. Nearly cvory animal in tho herd had j’inod tho leaders, an’ in a great mass they was tumhlin’ on eastward.Tho hat of Julie could be scon movin’ through tho tall grass, an’Mack’s pony racin’ toward her an’ nearly even with the head of the herd.A GOOD BOY’S REWARD*:Ha Deserved a Trounciw? but] Didn't Get It['BILIOUSNESS]]OcossfiPflfiiliBy accident ho had overtaken tho herd, and was following It for tho sake of the chats ho held daily with the score of cowboys who rode like skirmishers upon the adacnal ihoarmyof ■cattle.It was In the midst of the Indian Territory that there took place an incident which gave a never-to-be-forgotten thrill to every man in the corn-joining the army for good?” asked one of tho cowboys, riding beside the emigrant's ivagou tho dav after it joined the herd.We-uns is goin' ter Nerbrasky,” was tho surly reply.Wc’ro goin’ to see gran’pa an’ gran’ma, piped a cheery voico.And the flaxen head of a six-year-old peeped out from the canvas cove*Oh! you are! Well, littio one, where'd you come from?'’ laughed tiro cowboy.•Oh! just in here! I’m papa's little girl, you know, the child replied.It was tho beginning of a friendship between tho prattling little Julia and tough, reckless Mack.The herder had been for years an exile from the society of children, and this fresh, sweet bit of humanity was like an angel from Heaven in his eyes.lie was her constant companion in every moment that he could snatch fro® his duties, and oflon she rode with him around the. herd, perched in front of his great leathern iadJh* lt;'-a tbo wiry broncho’s back.So it was with considerable pleasure that both Julia and her friend learned that a stop would be made for a day when about half-way through tbo Territory to allow tho cattle to rest. When tho placo was reached tho usual proceedings took place.Tbo cowboys spread out their cirek until tho herd ccvored.an area of tivooi three square mile;., then began riding around tho animals, keeping their ponies constantly walking and remaining at equal distances from one another. In this way, and this way only, could so low guards restrain tho vast numbers of stock.The emigrant stopped, too, veil pleased to kavo a resting spell. Looks some like a storm.” said Mack, as ho rode up to tho wagon. The cattle seem uneasy. Then, as ho looked around for his pot, ho added, Where's . dullerDon't know, said tbo father, dejcct-- edly. Guess she must be somo’ors about. She was around horoawhiloago.They looked In the wagon and be-- neath II- She was not to be found. Tho father and mother became alarmed, and Marched with ihcir eyes tho prairie, spread out liko a great grassy sea, in the rain effort to find the missing child.Mack rode away to tboherder’s camp, thinking she might have wandered there.

It was death ter him if themonvebould stumble an’ throw him.Iiut it didn’t, an’ wo noticed that he was fumblln’ with tho sack in his hands, an’ a white stream like sand was flowin' from it-As the leaders of the herd came ter tho lino of white stuff they stopped, or tried ter, hut the ones behind pushed J ’em on.

I’ve been thinking of all this,Johnny. • . • ■ ■ • Yes, sir, replied Johnny gleefully.' And it occurred to me that I ought to bestow on you some proof of my confidence.“Thanks, sir! thanks! exclaimed Johnny, hoping it would take the shape of a dollar.Now, Johnny, I’m glad it’s in my power to convince you that I really place confidence in you. It is now twenty minutes before church service begins. You will just have timo to run to my house and tell toy wife to put two small bottles of claret on ice in the refrigerator for dinner.
