In "Richard the Brazen" we put be/ore the reader a knight errant worthy of the best days of chivalry, though he is of the present, and we find him in the garb of a cowboy. The superb

[courage with which he r e s c u e s from certain death a young wom­an whom he had never before seen, and the reckless daring witfc which he risks his repnta~ Hon in an attempt to win this woman under an assumed name, will appeal strongly to every lover of romance and admirer of courage. How Richard pros' pered in his enterprise under difficulties which would discour­age any but the most stout heart­ed we leave the reader to find__ out, and a most delightful pas­time it will prove.

"foward" sunset they came in sight of Bill Williams' ranch, and, hating skirt­ed a wire fence for several mBes* they entered at 2ast and dismounted before the mud thatched palace of the Xesan cattleTrihg, where the jovial despot himself came out to welcome them.

The two financiers, e«ch approaching Dr. Osier's line of uselessness, formed a-complete antithesis. The Kew York­er was a typical financial potentate, educated, cultivated, cold, deliberate la speech, calm in demeanor, composed In method, faultless in every detail of his dress. His features were promi­nent and sever*, the ruddy hue of his face relieved by a gray mustache and side whiskers. In every step and movement he showed the unmistaka­ble hallmarks of birtb, breeding and prosperity. Yet there Was not a bold­er, more daring operator on tbe ex» change than Benwyck. Old Bill Wil­liams was a man of giant stature, In­different as^ to dress, careless as to language. His education had been Sained In the saddle and smacked of the leather. He read few books, but

_*be knew cattle and men, and there was not a better Judge of land values and the merits or demerits of a scheme to the west His shrewd and kindly face was clean shaven, round and joy­ful, lit by a pair of steel gray e y w that twinkled continually In harmony with the genial smile which sometimes caused the careless to lose sight of the firmness of the elean cot lips and the square, resolute jaw—a man who was known and honored In setren state* and loved by every ranchman within ft radius of a thousand mtiflfc,. Ben­wyck was Joe, WlHiaina nre^T& that « • tyajft there was not # grear^teal of tflftH£&ge tatlwii'eu their Bwaaodb, for Iwct and cold both bum. _. ,-f; • ~Mr. Wlillams, who, like amfexans , was tb« sonl of hospitality, offered bis gtM«t« t&« beat bis ranch affo«ied, and neither Miss Renwyck nor he* father foond catise to murmur.

Breakfast over. tl»e two went at it hammer and tongs, but without adjust­ment of tbe difficulties. The New Yorker's craft and legal kuowledge were wrecked on the rocks of the Texan's common sense and humor, and at last Mr. Renwyck's temper burst all hounds. In one short angry speech be; severed every business in­terest with his host and former partner and turned tbat gentleman iuto tr-ealm but remorseless enemy.

With the Bwiftn••$?;* of a military, ma-nehver the nearest cattle tail in line and joined the chase*, Before SILsS Kemvyck realbed tviat had happened the h'-rd. of "cattle,, "barking" matliy.as the short, sharp bellow on such occa-sJons is cjdled, wni racing directly at her forty abreast' In the twinkling nf an eye every one of fate brhtes was- la frantic motion. .She w a s petrified With astonishment, although blKsfuJly ig­norant of the- extent of her danger. She heard a shrill, frightened cry from her father and looked back, "other steers—for shu had reached the middle of the herd—Were racing past her in such a way ;t«- h> sweep around and Join the pursuer:*. Her pony, an 111 twined broncho not us'ed to the range, more fright.|tied thau she, began to cut up viciously. Blind with terror and utterly uncontrollable, at last he bolted diirctly toward the oncoming animals.

Then site knew her peril. Instinc­tively she screamed and waved her free hand. The leading rank of the stampeding herd was diverted from the direct course by her approach and her cries^aiid turned aside. They swept around in a great circle, the other steers blindly following. Before the girl realized what had occurred t>he found herself caught, as it were, on the edge of a maelstrom of panic stricken animals and swept Irresistibly along with them.

"We'll be too later triad the leading man.

"Yep," answered his companion la­conically, driving his spur* home again.

"No," cried the first man as tbe cattle swerved; "she's kept her head. That woman know*, ber business. They'll be milling in a minute."

"She'd oaght to be gittln' out'n i t , now, though."

"Yes. God, they've got her!" be cried as be aaw the girl caught on the periphery of the whirling mass.

"We'll git ber out!" cried tbe other. "If she Jives long enough to give ua

a chance." When stampeded cattle get to mHl-

. lag they torn In upon theraeelTea, either involuntarily or because of pres­sure put upon them by cowboys seek­ing to ^control them. They Sweep around In concentric circles in a great spiral. The pressure on the outside tends to constrict the circles more and more until the cattle are Jammed Into a whirling vertiginous mass, of which nothing can' be seen but uplifted beads and uptossed horns. This mass, fran­tic with fear and fury, sways and whirls over the ground like a tornado, with a motion of rotation and transla­tion at tha «;ime time. Above the dust of lb? trampling comes the clicking of the dew claws and the cleft hoofs as the ieet "are lifted sharply from tbe .gfe-fliJd- These, with the rattling or horns and tbe bellowing of those on tht>oater edge, make the animal whirl­pool a perfect inferno of noise and clamor.

The mill sweeps around and around, and the only way to break it Is to tin-Wind it—that is, to cut Into the hunch and start the outer edge off on a tan­gent, so that the whole unwinds itself mechanically by reversing the process which brought It together. This is an operation of much difficulty, attended with great danger. The man who breaks m must do it backward, as It were- IJ* must follow the movement of the perimeter of the jgreat circle, heading as the cattle do, and by skill and dexterity force out first one and then another until he gets the circum­ference broken. In the end the break; Is apt to come quickly, and the awful maelstrom of maddened animals dis­solves into a peaceable herd almost m quickly as it wound Itself Into a frsyt» tic mob.

To be caught inside such a mill Is death. Fortunately Harriet Renwyck wtt?» oa the outskirts. The situation was /sufficiently terrifying m i t was, however. "Above the dost she could See a tossing, rpjlverln«? expanse, of horned heads. She was ridiSg » rnfttf'# .saddle and in matt- fashion. The pres­sure upon her horse was no tremen­dous thnt la order to keep from being w s h e d *=fte shook; her feet from tae stirrups ma drew* her legs op about the saddk'&ntti. She- had no control whatever «T her pony. Although sho Wir-?- fortunately on tbe outer edge* of Ua' yjtiif, there were still a half doXm t>£ the -cattle- between her and the open prairie, si{ wwwdtns Jntrt the-center, itctij with every turn $he- wit's toeing car­ried toward the vortex ,wttl» jrr«shtH-

,bjc. force. Site was* utterly terrified; yet shfe

realised; that her only possible hope of 5airjitlon was to keep her senses and her seat I f she fainted and fell the result would te death. The lovss of ltf* wan strong in her, and *h» dung to- het saddle and prayed ast oe,sW. before, Her eyes, were blinded with dust s»d fear. She could fee notbtn^ hot cattle nod the terrible jsyrjtting raits-** How long she whirled about with them la xfiddy rotation she could not telh It seemed hours, -ages, before a voice plereeil her ear-. 'Where did It corns from? She turned ber eyes toward the sound and dimly made «ut the figure i)t r-niaa on. the edge uf the circle above the Cloud of dust He seemed to her of Kigatitie jrtature. What was he saying? She siratawl every nerve to understand. Preseiitl}- she- made optt " " K « p apt l»0n't let go! We'll get

The; prospect seemed hopeless. Tbe cattle were going slower now as she worked toward the center, which was yet ft great way off. Her pony was wedged iu so tightly that he could, ixst fall. The voice kept up a continual cry of encouragement It seemed to he drawing nearer, but the tVrrible strain under which she was rfbWlug was telling upon her. Althous*/ she clutched the pommel of ber gaddl\Vlth tbe tenacity of deipair, she found ber-self swaying dlzxily. She clincbeo her teeth and summoned all her resolution for a last effort, but realized with a growing horror that her end waa near. If help did not come quickly she wonld be prostrate on the mass of horns. Still the voice appealed to ber, called to her, pleaded with her, implored ber, •tlmulated her. She held on and on desperately as she swept around and

-around. As they drew near the two cowboys

recognized that this waa one of tbe worst mills they had ever witnessed. There was a little dip to the ground where the cattle had swerved that had thrown them even more violently to­ward the center than wonld have oc­curred on level prairie. The first man thought be bad never seen any steers tighten BO quickly and whirl so fast His Impulse was to leap bit bone across the Intervening cattle straight

HtgbiSy, and be forced bis t o o * into tbe outer edge. HaTlng ef-ftetod tt* entrmroev be knew tbat be bad made « wl lekf l t beginning to en­able- him in the end to loosen tbe tight­ened ring. He was Just a little in front of tbe girl, and back of him tbe other rata was nobly seconding bis ef­forts. Wonld the be able to keep up long enough for them to accompllab her refcoe?

They worked desperately. Men «i-wgye work desperate!* under such cir-cttmstances, but in this instance it was wttb added incentive. Tbe first, tbe nearest man to ber, divined, rather than saw as be caught glimpses of ber face, deathly pale through the dost, that she could not keep op much long­er. His effort was twofoid-to break tbe mill and save tbe girl. So with re­doubled energy be bored his way in and in. The outer edge where be ran was well broken now, bat two lines of steers Intervened between him end the girl. Sweat poured from ids face like water. His heart thumped as no stam­peding cattle could have caused It to beat ou any range. Be was nearer now. The cattle were sufficiently bro­ken for him to stake everything on s last effort He pulled a heavy revolv­er from bis holster and began shooting. One, two, three steers went crashing down. He urged his pony into the open caused by their fall and by main strength of borse and man bore tbe whlrllna line far outward. Tbe mill

CHAPTER II. WAY on the other side of the

herd two cowboys bad been lazily lying on tbe grass In the shade cast by tbe motionless

bodies of their ponies. They bad been keeping, such indifferent watch that neither of them had seen Miss Ren­wyck. It was tbe noon boor. Tbe morning shift bad gone back to camp, and the afternoon gang had not yet ar­rived, so there were only the** men watching the herd. The quiet bad made them relax their usual vigilance. The instant they heard the first "bark" from the steers they leaped to tbehr feet and sprang to saddle..

They're off!" cried the taller of the two as be drove Ids (spurs into his pony and took a straiglit cut across tbe prairie so as to bead them off. ; • . -WeTl get 'em millin' under the hills •B right r shouted bis companion as they raced ajong.

A quarter of a mile, however, brought them in sight of tbe woman. «he first ansa, who was i l i t t l * ahead, pointed.

"Look yonder!" be abejnted. -> ."JsV 'God?* said tbe other, **Bfc&* *» <h**r direction. She's a goner « " -

was broken. The cowboy in the rear gave him brilliant assistance. In tbe twinkling of an eye that which had been va^und began to unwind.

What of the woman? Was he too late? He saw her sway In the saddle. She would be thrown on the edge of the circle and trampled to death! Leav­ing tbe mill to unwind itself, he leaped his pony toward her Just In time, foi as he. approached she pitched forward and fell. Providence threw her to the right rathw than to the left. The

~mau caught her In a ruthless grip. Fortunately she wore no trailing skirt and her feet were out of the stirrups As it wasr the divided garment she wow was torn info ribtxjna on the horns and one boot was dragged off. It was well that she had fallen to a stout arm. The effort entailed upon him to keep the saddle and drag the woman free waa tremendous, but hit strength w«9 as tbe strength of ten that day and did not fail him. He swept her to his breast at last and held her senseless, but Tree, He had Accomplished the Impossible,

They -were now In the angle formed by the tangent and the circle, and the wjty. was. clear before them. B e spurred hi* tired horse, which had done *uch uptendht work, «ut Into the open and stopped. He did not dare put the glri flown, yet -not wntil the cattle had completely unwound them­selves and the Jam had l>een broken— for he did not know what might ©c-" cur.

Fortune* however, had sttbjected Miss Renwyck to all the trials de« manded of her that day, for the herd of .panting cattle, blindly following new leader*, presently unwound itself and streamed across* the prairie, going slower and slower, ay the panic Im­pulse subsided almost as quickly as It had arisen. The steer the accident to which had caused the trouble lay dead where the vortex had been. The man'* companion had ridden up fa him m , •won n» he could, but the man-who held' the girl directed him b> ride on. after the herd test they get into trouble again.

"She** all tight," he said, "only fainted. You' ride after the bunch, Head *em off before they leave the range, I'll loot sffet the lady, I'll follow you presently,"

.With the other"* asuiHtance he lower­ed the girl fa.the grass and dismounted himself. JIIK« Harriet Renwyck was not exactly at her best at that mo­ment. She jfvas m white **• « cotton bolt wltew her "pnllor could be seed for the dust, tier glorious, black hair was unbound and flowed hi wild disor­der at>out her. Her clothing wa« rip­ped and rora. Isht' was the picture of death. Yet 1ft the eyes of the cowboy who had saved her she was beautiful. He took hit* syater bottle and sprin­kled her face with Its contents with little effect Deftly then the rotor whipi»ed out his knife, cut the tight stock she wore and ripped open her dress at the neck. Then he splashed more water in ber-'Ttoce, and at last un­der its stimulus she opened her eyes and stared at a figure bending over her- She saw a stalwart blond young man who would have been handsome hjjt for a ten days' growth of beard that covered his race, dusty and sweat streaked from his recent efforts.

"You're all right, miss," said the cowboy soothingly as she gased at him with dawning comprehension. "Drink this," be added as ho compelled her to take a pull at bis flask, which fortunately happened to be not quite empty, although the day waa no longer young. 8tH obeyed him.

"Those terrible cattle!" she faltered as the fiery liquid renewed ber strength.

•TPhay're all gone. You're perfectly safe, mlas.'-

"And you-drew me out!" "It's nothing at all. Anybody would

have done It." "You saved my life. I shall never

forget it. I should hare fallen long be­fore had your voice not kept me up,"

8b* sat up, covered ber face with

ner aanas and "I shall sever get that sight es t of

tha cowboy. "We broks it easfly." "Where, Is a y f a t t e r f aafced the girl

hastily. " Where is my borasr "As for your father, I dida'4 see hiss.

I guess yostr pony has gone with the herd. But you're welcome to mine. Heilo, here are your friends, I reck­on r he exclaimed as be saw two or three horsemen galloping over the rise beyond.

Back of them came tbe spring wagon, drawn by mules on the dead run. Old Jacob Benwyck knew enough about cattle to realise his daughter's danger. He had also realised that he could, do absolutely nothing to help ber. But, as luck would have it, his .outfit was near at hand. It was that be had signaled her from tbe top of tbe hill. He and bis daughter had made a detour, and the wagon, travel­ing on tbe chord of tbe arc, was almost up with him when the stampede came." He raced down tbe hill toward i t shouting tbe terrible tidings. Cowboys apd guides In his outfit galloped up to do exactly what hsd been done. In a moment they hsd gathered around the

*two. "Ob, father!" said the girt as Ben­

wyck swung himself from his saddle and dropped on his knees beside her.

"Are you safe, my dear?" "Perfectly safe, thanks to this gen­

tleman." "Sir," began her father impressively,

"lowe"--"Oh. It's nothing,", said the cowboy

lightly, "nothing at all. It was Just breaking a mill. Any of these boys will tell you how esslly It can be done. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go after my bunch. Goodby, miss; you'll be all right in no time."

He swung himself Into his saddle. "But, my dear sir," cried Mr. Ben*

wrck "vour name?" The cowboy was already on tbe gal­

lop. He turned and shouted something that no one could understand and then was gone. The girl stared after him In great disappointment He had saved her life, rescued ber like a hero —but to leave her that way, and for a lot of wretched cattle—It was too provoking!

-Do any of you know that matt!" asked Sir. Kenwyefc

"Ain't never seed him afore," re­plied their guide.

"From wot he says, though, he sure knows his bte/* sold another. "The chances of glttin' out'n that mUl"-he looked at the ground torn by the tram­pling hera-"was sure Jessfrj nothla", all right" ,^

^'Father/* 'said the girl weakly, the reaction settiag In, "let'** go home. I've had wsotrgh of this terrible country-these awful cowa> *-

"It breeds men* though, miss," said the guide, "as well as catHe."
