| Trapping a
! Horse Thief
By WILLARD BLAKE MAN
A posse consisting of a sheriff and
three men were climbing n canyon Id
Colorado. The cauyon came to an end
a few hundred yards above them in a
pocket, from which there appeared to
be no egress, the sides being perpen
dicular.
Suddenly the men came to a UttJe
cabin perched on a ledge overhanging
the boiling mountain stream zigzagging
down the cnnyon. A woman, a slat
ternly. ill favored creature with tous
sled hnir. was standing beside a board
supported by stakes driven into the
ground jnst outside the door washing
dishes.
"Is this Jaycox'a cabin?" asked the
sheriff.
"Yes. What dy'e want with him?"
"We're prospectors and have heard
that he has struck paying dirt in a
hole hereabout We wouldn't mind
putting up some "ash to work It if it
looks well."
"Hetter have nothin' to do with Bill
Ja.vcox. He'd get yer money, and you
wouldn't get anything."
The sheriff pricked np his ears at
this, wondering if the woman could be
listed to help him land a man wanted
for horsw stealing.
"Oh. that's the kind of a man be is.
it it?"
"There D:>ln t no nifnnrr guiooc ij
Bill Jayco* on this side of the divide,
lie's treated me brutal ever since I
come yero to live with blm. As soon
ns 1 ?Its those dishes washed I'm goin'
to dig out »nd lenve hiin to sit on
alone. There's tto»h!n' mean about me
I'll lenve thin*"* to rights."
"What's he been doin' to you?"
"Look a-here." sn'd the woman, Dnll
ing up the sleeves of her dress a"d
showing on h»r arm a recent bruise,
then pnllinfr her dress down over her
shoulder and showing another bruise
on her hark "What d'ye think o'
nun?"
Up to this moment the sheriff feared
that the woman was playing a part
with a view to aiding .1 avcox to get
away from them, hut this evidence
that the man an<' the woe,an were not
living happily together convinced hlro
that he had found her at an opportune
moment to make her useful. Doubt
less she wished to bp revenged for th»
brutal treatment she had received, and
an appeal to her cuplditv as well would
help the matter The relationship be
tween .laycox and the woman was a
common one among certain rongb per
sons who Inhabited the mountrlns at
that day. A woman, usually of very
low grade. would take up witb a des
Dcrado. live with hlro as long as she
could stand his crneltv, then leave hira.
"I»o yon want to m^ke some money?"
asked the sheriff, pulling a handful of
Tllttering gold pieces from his pocket
and exhibiting theni temptingly. He
was watching the woman's eye and
saw covetousness In it. If you'll turn
laycox over to us I'll give you ten of
these: they're S5 each."
"I'ui |>owerfu! bad off for money,"
replied the woman thoughtfully. "1
duntio where I'm goln' to get a bit" to
eat when 1 leave yore, and there's
nothin' to take with me. I suppose
you wouldn't pay before you git Jay
cox. woiiM ye?"
"N'o. I wouldn't like to do that, but
if yon agree I'll give you one of 'em to
bind the bargain."
The woman held a yellow dish In he
hands. wiping It and thinking. "Ef he
hadn't said what he did to me before
he went away I wouldn't do It"
"Where is be?"
"Up there." motionine In the direc
tion of tlie pocket
"Is there any outlet?"
"One Only tie and me knows it."
"Suppose you go to him. pretend to
make up your quarrel with hitn and
brinn him back We'll hide and take
him in "
"1 don't know as I kin find him."
"Oh. yes, you can. Just as soon as
we git him I'll gi'-e you the rest of thp
money."
The nieutiou of the gold appeared V>
decide the woman
"He may be up the canyon, and he
may have gone down I'll to up. and
if I don't find him I'll go down Any
way. I'M git bin for you."
started off Most of the ti"ie she wa*
hidden front ilu*ir view. but at time*
tliev could see her climbing over n
r(xk Half nn hour passed and she
d'd not return From the cabin then
could see any one who moved out o*
the canyon, and one of the party was
deputed to watch. Presently tbey saw
the woman passing down. They bai1
ed her. but instead of replying she
simply waved her hand to tbem anr<
passed on.
An hour passed, and tbe sheriff, he
com inn Impatient, started with his men
op the canyon There was no egress
When they had gone as far ns pos
<llile they saw their quarry sitting on
11 stone smoijing a cob pipe. Thity
"ailed on him to surrender, which '»e
did. »
"By thunder." exclaimed one of the
men who bad nnproached the hfw
thief with a oair of handcuffs, "it'r tbr
woman'"
And so It was. 8be had exchanged
clothes with Jaycox. and It was he who
had passed down the canyon
"Do you think, sb»riff." asked one
of the men, "that It whs h pnt joh
on ns from the first?"
"No: 1 don't think that Wlrat I
think Is— well, you never can relf Just
what a woman Is going to da She
doesn't always know herself."
AN."
AERONAUT
By FRED L. YOUNG
When the steamer Orinoko, oil her
way from Naples to New York, stop
pod at Gibraltar a man came aboard
with a number of boxes, which were
marked "Machinery." He was . a
pleasant spoken, hail-fellow-well-met
sort of person, who made acquaint
ance rapidly with the other passengers.
He bet freely on the daily run of the
ship and if he won opened wine to cel
ebrate his good luck and if he lost
opened wine to celebrate the winner'9
luck. In either case he opened wine.
Billy MIckleton. the gentleman re
ferred to, soon became known as the
best fellow ou the ship.
"What's in all those boxes, MIckle
ton, you brought aboard with you?"
asked a passenger.
"When we approach the Atlantic
coast you'll all know. I'm going to
make an experiment that will attract
the attention of the world."
"Why not tell us now?"
"I'm under contract with a New
York newspaper to keep the secret till
the last moment The paper is to have
the exclusive rights of publication."
Nothing so absorbs people as curios
ity. and the Orinoko had not long,
passed Madeira before everybody was
talking about Mickleton and the experi
ment he was going to make. Some be
lieved it to be a trial trip of a new
kind of boat, whoso parts were packed
in the boxes. Others guessed that he
had Invented a light submarine to be
managed by one person. He would
put it In the water when the ship was
ofT Sandy Hook and. moving under
water, beat her to her dock. A third
crowd guessed that Mickleton intended
to be shot out of a mortar from the
ship's deck and come down with a
patent parachute.
When the shin was .TOO miles rrom
port Miekleton secured the permission
of the captain to remove the contents
of the boxes to the upper deck. When
they had been unpacked and carried to
the deck Miekleton set to work and
put together an aeroplane. The pas
sengers gathered about him to watch,
some who knew something about
aeroplanes curious to see the machin
ery put lu. But Miekleton waited till
they all turned In for the night to do
this work, and when they came on
deck In the morning they found the
aeroplane concealed under a canvas
cover.
The captain kindly ordered the ship's
carpenter to make a passage for the
machine by taking down the stern rails
and otherwise render a start possible.
When all these things were done and
the passengers had nothing to do but
wait they crowded around the aero
naut and plied him with questions. "Is
it a new power you're going to test?"
"Are you going In ahead of the ship or
going to make a transatlantic flight''"
"Is it to break a record for speed or
for height or for distance?"
Mi -k'.eton said that it grieved him
n>>t to be able to satisfy them, but that
he was dependent on the newspaper
with which he had made his contract
for funds to carry out his experiment
and If he let out anything he would
forfeit n small fortune. When a man
became too persistent Rilly opened a
bottle of wine.
Fire Island was sighted at 9 o'clock
in the morning. At 10 Miekleton was
ready for Ills (light. The last article he
put on his machine was a small box.
fie opened It and showed provisions.
From the size of the box it might con
tain food and drink to last a week. It
was evident from this that the flight
was to be a long one. and it was the
opinion of most of the passengers that
Miekleton was intending to make
straight across the Atlantic back to
Gibraltar. If necessary be would have
stopping points nt the Azores aud Ma
deira.
Just before starting Mleicieton weni
to the wireless office and sent a mes
sage in cipher to « New York news
paper. If any one had any doubts ns
to the truthfulness of the aeronaut's
excuses for not tolling his intention this
removed them, tearing the wireless
office, he returned to his aeroplane,
went under the canvas, made a final
Inspection of the parts, then, removing
the cover, got aboard. Sailors on a
run imshed him along the deck: he
caught the air, hardly striking the
water surface, then rose gradually.
The ship was steaming westward
along the Long Island coast. The aero
plane. rising, turned toward the land,
passed over the eastern end of the
island and gradually passed out of
sight. The Orinoko reached Sandy
Hook about noon, bnt, being delayed
at quarantine, was not docked till the
next morning. Every passenger was
on deck and eager to read the account
of the aeroplane flight, the start of
which he had witnessed. Xot a single
newspaper mentioned it.
Mr. Mickleton passed out of the
minds of the passengers of the Ori
noko as he had passed out of their sight
over Montauk Point and was for
gotten. But the time came when they
read the newspaper account, which
was a very different one from what
they had been told about It reported
how the slickest smuggler working be
tween Europe and America, who had
long evaded customs officers, had been
caught red handed. Among his smug
gling devices the article gave an ac
count of his getting a million dollars'
worth of diamonds in free of duty by
means of an aeroplane from the deck
of a liner.
When tbey bad taken an unindorsed
bank dr.ift from rheir victim two rob
bers produced m fountain pen and made
him indorse the draft. Add one more
to the list Of deadly weapons.
The Ush story Is losing none of its
pristine vitality. A cattish was caught
in Kentucky wearing a pair of specta
cles which an estimable citizen some
time before bad lost overboard.
The Illinois board of health has de
clared that no more talcum powder
shall be uswl In chop suey. We had
never supposed that those who ate
chop suey cared what was In it
A railroad up Mount Popocatepetl
will run from 10 degrees below zero to
70 above in two hours. But that's
nothing. Mexican politics can change
from freezing to boiling in two min
utes.
Marvelous Germany! Its leviathan Is
the biggest thing that plows the seas.
Its dirigibles are the monsters of the
air. And neither storm nor wreck can
check the spirit that ventures forth to
lead the world.
To operate in the clouds the Swiss
army does not take to aeroplanes and
dirigibles. It maneuvers among the
Alpine peaks and gets all the sensa
tions of high elevation with its feet
safe on the ground.
The elimination of the trmpliroeu
tary salutation "Dear air" and the po
lite conclusion "Yours very truly" will
not make much headway in letters
written by a debtor to a creditor ask
ing for an extension of time.
