She could still see & little distance
through the deepening gloom and -he
observed that the water had cut bits of
gullevs between the potato rows and
that the stubble field below had the ap-
pearance of having beconiu a lake The
rain too instead of decreasing as the
night set in was if possible falling
faster than ever: and she could hear a
faint roar coming up from the ravine
and knew that soon the water would be
rushing through it in great volume and

John had returned: that he h:.d i cd
safely through the dar.no and the

there was the -ound ot the .or-c walk-

of the hou-c. where Mr. l'ai-.'ti- wa-in
the liabil of riding through to die

Poor dear what an awful lime he

She l's.ened a moment and then again

The weary drenched ami mud-be-spatteretl

a low whinny but no auwer came to

"John! U-o-oh John:"
She li-teiicd; but ouly the swish of
the ram falling in l.teral .-beets and
the dull roar of the MvoJIen waters in
the ravine below reached her cay-.
And now she noticed that the horse's
bridle-rein was dragging. Hail he
thrown his master or had John dis-
mounted in order to better keoj) the
road and by some means permitted the
animal to escape him?
She examined the bridlo-rein and
found it broken aud she felt certain
that the horse had thrown her husband j

Them John wu dead. The father of
her crippled boy her companion for so
many years was drowned it might be
in the angry waters that even now were
pouring through the gorge with the
roar of a demon. Or he was lying in
the road cold and stiff with his lifeless
eyes staring up into the blackened hea'v-
ens the pitiless rain beating upon his
face.
Such were the thoughts that burned
their way through the brain of Martha
Parsons as she stood dumbly looking at
the broken rein by the dim light of the
lantern. The impatient pawing of the
horse demanding to be let under
shelter recalled her to a knowledge of
her surroundings and quite mechanic-
ally she opened the stable door. The
horse entered rubbe i his nose against
that of his fellow and began at once to
cat from the bin in front of him. Mr-.
Par-ons followed him in. removed tue
sadd'e and bridle and taking the lan-
tern from the lloor where -he had set it.
retra ed her steps through the storm to
the In ui -e.
Fortunately Johnny had not wakened

unaware of the return of the hor-e

that he mu-t keep ipiie: he had done
so. though hi- eyes were b:g with lear.
and with tho fever which ht.d come up
higher than ever.

ing the cloths and vessels of hot water '
with which she had surrounded him. he
would mutter something about ""the
mortg.ige.' or '"the in nes' or about
"Lucy and Kra-tu-.' and once s'te '
thought ho .-poke the names of denn'e I
and her husband but she gathered '
nothing from what he said of the loss of
their home and supposed that his con-
dltlon was the result of a fall from hk
horse) and of being so long exposed to
the storm. His limbs were eold and
'she feared he was going into a nervous
chill and worked with all her might to
restore the circulation but in spite of
her efforts he continued to sink. His
eyes would close for a few moments and
then open again suddenly but never
with any sign of a clear perception of
his condition or surroundings' but only
to mutter something about "campin'
out" and "the mines" and "the chil-
dren" until just before day began to
break when he aroused from the lethar-
gy into which he was fast sinking made
an effort to rise fell back stared about
the room and at Johnny's crib and
then with the wild look in his eyes and
upon hi. face changing to one which
showed that he recognized his surround-
ings he again sank back upon hi- pil-
low and made a sign for his wife to
come clo-er. As she bent over him I o
stroe to speak. and finally said
brokenly:
'Tain't no-use. Marty. My
my lead is -is work-'d out. and our
our claim- been lumped agin."'
He .struggled lor breath his eve-bills
turned upward and he choked but
seemed to rally his ep:r tig eiierg cs
for a farewell nie-.-age. :.:ul :nl Vd

A great -liber -hook hi-frame his
bre- -t heaved with a long-drawn -gii.
and the spirit of .John 1'ar-on- hail
gone ahead to pro-peet for a home for

THE OLD AZTEC SPRING.
ReiUacoTarrd st Satm Fe Two Caa
Urit Alter It Had Vanlshetl.
The tradition eonceniing the spring
which disappeared in 1680. to be redis-
covered in 1885 ii interesting. Long
before the Europeans had set foot in
New Mexico stories had reached the
Viceroy of Mexico of the "white and
bright land." as what is now New
Mexico was then called. The stories
rold cf silver and gold and of mineral
springs of marvelous curative power.
Less than a decade after the conquest
of Mexico Cabeza de Baca and his
party of explorers were wrecked on the
gulf coast ami started to lind their
countrymen in Mexico. During the
weary wanderings of this stout-hearted
and 'persevering party says a writer
they penetrated to the heart of the con-
tinent at a point nearly twenty degrees
of latitude north of the City of Mexico
anil nearly the same distance north of
the last settlement of tiie -pan:-'i col-oni-ts.
And thus it was that the first
Kuropeans set foot upon the soil of
New Mexico antl gat here I information
which when rc-ortttl to the Vicerov of
Mexico confirmed the woudertul stories
and traditions that had been previ-
ously related of that ""white and bright
la: . ' -nd s"t on loot the expeditions
of Ni.a. Coronal'. Uui. an 1 K-pejo
After these xpclit on -torie- of the

venting their return the Indians de--troe.t
every th ng on whicii the Span-
iards had in t .- -t .store. Thev tilled
