Thow s on his way to | the P river, south of Anselmo, with | a hord of several hundred in search of water, the smaller streams having proven inadequate to supplying the vast droves of the neighborhood. He v sistod by seven or eight cow boys, a small number, scarcely sufliciont for 5o large a hord. and when” one flank of the moving body of animals wandorad off in the night from the corral looking | for the wherewith to allay their thirst | it was necessary for fully half of the | herders to go aftar them, thus scatter- ing the party., Thompson himself rode ! cast, following the tracks of cattle which he took for his own, but which proved to be those of a herd from lower down also ng to the Platto. He had got out of sight of his assistants and had dismounted to oxamine the trail, which ho was boginning 1o su pect was a day or two old, when he ob- served a horse running toward him at a rapid gallop. The animal was not sad- dled, but showed marks of being in rve- cent use, and Me. Thompson concluded that he had probably broken loose from his owner and that the latter would soon be out looking for him, 80 he resolved to catch him, Advancing, the cattleman held out his hand to the stranger, but the animal snapved at him and made adart for the other he trying to bite and kicking out with his hecl Thompson now saw that the runawuy was foaming in a manuer that meant more than heat from his gallop, and thinking that the animal was mad hastened to his hovse's help. Flinging himsell into the saddle, 1 clapped spurs to him and made a b for the place where he had left the still corralled herd. ‘T'he frenzied horse gave chase, and then began a break-acck for life overthe prairie. Thompson pos- sossod the advantage of having the ani- mal he bestrode fresh and under perfect control, while the pursuer was able to run only by spurts, with the irregulurit of madness, and half blindly, but in spit of this he was sufliciently near to render the chaso one of great excitement and danger, for from the furious creature’s selligerence displayed at first, it was casy to see what would bo the fate of animal or man who fell before him, S0, without spaving whip or spur, Chompson flew over the ground with the mad horse only a few dozen yards in his 1y The danger was increased by the existence of large cracks in the carth gaping for water, which were offon quite wide enough to admit of the horse he rode falling with one foot in them and breaking a limb, when he would be at the merey of the panting, raging ani- nal close behind him, which allowed no time for picking the way over those pit- falls. But the fiery little Spanish mus- tang ridden by Thompson seemed to realize that his life and that of his rider depended on his skill in avoiding theso w over them like a bird, redoubling hisspeed whenever the horse following gave a shrill shriek of warn- ing. o 5 Once Thompson saw a rattlesnake icap outat the mustang as he cleared a clump of tall prairie grassand spring at his heels, but the blow failed, and the snake Tastened itself on the lower leg of the animal that came after, but, with the long, greenish body still hanging to it, the mad horse did not stay for amoment, and as the mustang paused for a sccond to gather itself for'a leap across a yicld- ing place in the earth, where some mol had once excavaled its homo, gained | somewbat on the flying pair. Looking back Thompson saw the beast not more than thirty or thivty-five yards behind him, and,’ thinking the horso almost upon him, lashed the mustang into a run that made the ground seem 0 spin be- neath his nimble feet, and was rapidly outdistancing his pursuer, when he felt tho girth about his steed give way, and checked hin in time to save himself a nard fall. T'he saddle slid off the mustaog's back and Thompson, with his feet still in the stirrups, fell easily to the ground. Ho picked himself up and scanncd the praivio with anxious eyes for help of some sort. And to s relief he saw a horseman riding across the plain a quartor of a mile away and, standing up, locd to this person. But at first his eries scomed incapablo of roachi the man, who diveeted his course in an oblique line from whore Thompson stood shouting to him, At last, howe his attention ap- peared 1o be attractod by the behavior of the mad horse and, following with his oyes, he made out the ranchman and caught the lalter's signals. Putting spur to his horse the stranger came on at a gallop, holding in one hand a gun, which Thompson saw with reliof und jov, and just as the mad horse reached him and he felt the hot breuth from the open mouth flecked with bloody fo shot whistled past his car and struck the maddencd animal full in the fore head. He staggered and fell almost undaer the mustang’s feot, bivin nup- ping about him in blind fury, bat the wmustang, bucking awuy from” his fallen enemy y at him with his heels and repeatidly gave him rousing biows in the side, while the man who had come to Thompson's reseue reached th up, and, throwing his gun down on the agonized creature, put an end to its wisery and it powers for mischiel ‘This timely help was a cowboy from the Reginald Black ranch, who had been out shooting mule-eared rabbits when he saw Thompson’s distress, Ho identified the horse as one from a place near Broken Bow, which had been bit- ten several days before by a rabid dog, and had got out on being seized in turn with hydropaobie symptoms.
