A SUPPOSABLE CASE.
Jlrs. IMameter sat in her bay window,
Bewirg. she aa thinking as well as
sewing, thinking of someting that had
happened yi the morning.
Jf any living sool had dared insinuate
to Mrs. Octaaieter that her husband was
capable of meanness, she would have
arisen in htr wrath and hurled indigna
tion at the ofTendicg insinuator. And
yet there had been times in the coarse
of their vear of married lL'e when she
had almost admitted as ruach to herself
in her inmct heart, though she Lad al
ways hastened to assure herself that he
"didn't intend it," And was "only thought
less." The trouble lay in a nutshell;
there was only one pocketbook ia the
I'elaineter fatuiiy, and its abiding place
nas Mr. Diameter's pockeL To a wo-
:ian who Lai supported herself, single-
handed and alone, for several years pre
vious to marriage, it seemed unbearably
humiilating to be obliged to sue fr every
uo'.Ur the spent, to eay nothing of being
expected to explain for what particular
purpose each individual dollar was to be
expended.
That morning she felt the laststrair
had been added to her load cf humilia
tion. She had conceived the brilliant
p'.aa of asking for more money than her
immediate necessities demanded, with
the i lea of sparicg herse'f a few unneces
sary humiliations in the near fjture. She
had screwed up her courage as she ate
her breaaast to ask timidly, as Mr. Del
meter rose from the table :
"Tom can you spare me ten dollars ?"
"What's the trouble now 7" asked Mr.
Dtiiauieter, good-naturedly.
need a pair of boots."
"Whew I Tea dollars for a pair of
boo'jT' and he arched his brows, still
good-naturedly.
"No," bUmmered his wife, feeling and
looking as guilty as though she had lob
bed a neighbor's clothes line aver night,
' the boots ili be only three dollars, but
I thought it would be handy to have a
lit lie money by me, and not have to
trouble you so cftea."
And Mr. Delameter he. face grew hot
and she breathed fast every tiaieshe
thcUfcht of it, Mr. Delameter took oat a
two-dollar bill, and a cae-dollar bill,
and a silver half dollar, and laid them
on the table, stying, in an oJ-hand way,
-I guess that'll do yoa this tiaie," and
then put up his pocket-book and went
histling.
Mrs. Delameter was a good little wo
man, and she endeavored, loyally, to find
excuses tor such atrocious conduct. See
as a forgiving little woman, too, and so
when the clock on the mantel struck the
hilf-hour after five, she folded op her
work, and set the tea table with the
pu?y tri-am cakes Mr. Delameter so lov
ed, and hioh she had mi le in the
morcicg, and put on the even slices of
home-made bread, light as a feather and
sweet as a nut, and opened a can of
peaches she had canned the tall before,
and rna ie the tea in the precise manner
he liked it male.
And Mr. Dclamater came home end
pave his wife an auctionate greeting,
and looked at her admiringly across the
table, an J praised her cream cakes. And
after sapper he drew her down on his
knee and said how jolly it was to have a
home of one'B own, and not have to live
in a horrid boarding house ; and he was
a!tg?ther in such a pleasant mood that
Mrs. Delamater fared attempt a little
6erious talk, and pave the way by in
forming him that.
"Mlse Southernwood came to see me
tj-fl'ay."
"Ah? she's the miliinery lady, I be
lieve." ' She wants me to trim hats for Ler in
my spare time this summer,"
"Indeed! Well, I hope yoa sent her
to the right-about face in double-quick
time. The idea of my wife working in a
shoo !" sai 1 Mr. I elameter with consid-
able spiriL
"I wish you'd let me do iL"
"For Leaven's sake, what for" and
Mr. Delameter spoke a little testily this
time.
"iiecaose I it would seem so good to
Lave a little money of my very own."
"Well, don't you Lave money of yonr
very on? Al! that's aiine is yours.
"I suppose so, but, oh, Tom, you don't
know how I hate to ask for it."
-You silly little goose! Lid lever
relcsevoo? I can't see why under the
canopy yoa should feel that way I"
"Hut, really, Tom, I think I'm almost
gnre you feel the same way."
"Nonsense! I shouldn't either. I'd
just as lief aek as not."
"Wouid you be willing to prove it
"Certainly I would if there was any
way, but I don't quite see "
"Tow, will you prove it if 111 think of
a way T'
"M m, wed, ye, I gness ao, what's
the way ?"
"Well, I'll take thai money I laid np
before I" was married oat of the bank,
and when your pay day comes you will
put every cent of yonr money into the
bank."
"Well, I will oa yoar bank V
"Oh, nol That would spoil everything j
Promise me yoa wont ever try to replace
my noney !
-Well, I promise," said Mr. Delameter
laughing at her earnestness.
Then he looked thoughtful for several
minutes.

SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1892.
"Flow long most the experiment last,
to convince you V
"Well, I think a month wonld do,
don't you 7"
"I think it would," he answered drily
Mr. Delameter forgot his agreement
tilljost as he was being paid cfT, the
next night, and then, being a man of his
word he stopped on the way home and
emptied bis pockets into the coffers of
th Link, carrying away with him a soil
tary nickel, which he had overlooked, in
the pocket where he kept his car tires.
Then the whole atlair slipped fro si his
mind.
The next morning he parted with the
nickie to the car conductor with cheer
ful unconsciousness, and real.s id not
that he was penniless
lie was opening his lunch box at noon
when, as lack would have it there sud-
derJy apiieared before him a friend of
his boyhood days who Lad grown rich
and aristocratic in the years 6ince they
had met Mr. Delameter, iu an exuber
ante of hospitality, immediately conduct
ed him to the highest priced restaurant
in the vicinity, ordered a dinner in keep
ing with the place, leisurely discussed it
with his friend, and at is close compla
cently drew forth and opened his pocket-
bock. His feelings at that interesting
moment can be better imagined than de
scribed, as the novelists say.
That nii:ht Le was 'gluui all sapper
time, and afterwards buried himself in
the day before 's newspaper till bed time.
When morning came he lingered about
after breakfast was over, with no osten
sible reason, at last made a feint of start
ing, and then came back again.
Oh, by the way," he said, with a fine
air of carelessness, "I had to borrow some
yesterday."
How much?" asked his better half
with a little blush.
"Five dollars."
"What for?" trembled Mrs. Delame
ter s hps, but she did not say it fcne
s:mpty Landed Liia the exact sum.
I guess you'd better let me have a
little car fares while yoar about iL"
A ten cent piece was carefully selected
and laid in his pairs.
Mr. Delameter did not forget his strait
ened condition that day. He remember
ed it of course, when he sent the bill to
his friend; be felt it when he paed a
fruit stand on which were displayed some
particularly fine oranges ; it was recalled
to Lis attention when the little lame boy
with candy made the usual round of the
"ji ; it was painfully present to his
mind when s man with a subscription
piper whereon figured the name of Dela
meter came to collect the money sub
scribed ; and the lack was keenly appre
ciaiel when he ha i to forego buying his
ustal evening paper.
The third day Le braced np, and with
a reluctance he was wholly unable to con
ceal, requested the means wherewith to
bay a pair of iichl trouserm He secretly
decided to go without the necktie and
socks he had intended getting at the
same time, till another month, and as
the garment was of cheaper quality .than
he had originally thought of having, Le
had enough money to carry him through
the day.
The iourth day was Sunday. Mr. Dela
meter thsught of the contribution box
and decided he wouldn't attend church.
His head felt bailv he said.
The fifth day the grocer called at the
office for his par, and Mr. Delameter,
mumbled something about "pocketbook,"
and ''other pants," sent Liai to the house:
though in former days he bad pooh
poohed the idea of that being the more
convenient way, and had decreed that
the grocer should come to the otlke for
his nionev.
The sixth day Mr. Djlamater with
nn!xked for gererosity, gae him fifty
cents when Le asked for car fare, and on
the strength cf this Le bailed anna with
stnwbenies on the way home at night,
bought two boxes and found he was six
cents short.
The seventh day Mr. Deiamater realiz
ed that the experiment wasn't working
quite in the way he meant it should. So
he pulled himself together and boldly
arked for a ten dollar bilL
What for?" queried Lis wife, as
though w ith an effort.
1 well, I wsnt to get a pair of boots."
"3Ien's boots come high, don't they ?"
faltered Mrs. Deiamater, with an artifi
cial smile, as she opeaed her pocket-
book.
" Oh, the boots won't be more than
four dollars, probably, but I guess I can
mike awsy with the rest."
Mrs. Deiamater hesitatated, blushed,
bit her lip, then slowly Landed tout two
two dollar bills and a silver half dollar.
" I guess that will do yoa this time,"
she murmured with downcast eyes.
Mr. Deiamater glanced at her, and
made as though be would cast the mon
ey from him. Then suddenly he seem
ed to recollect something, and a brilliant
red color came up from the edge of Lis
white bhirt collar to the roots of bis hair.
He jammed the money viciously into his
breast pocket, made use of some words
indicative of extreme anger, ani flung
himself oat of the house, slamming the
door with great vehemence behind him.
Mrs. Delameter threw herself face
downward on the lour.ze ani cried and
cried. The terrible fear that she had of
fended Lira beyond forgiveness and that
he would never return to her, assailed
her at intervals all through the day.
When Mr. Delameter did actually
come home at the nsial hoar she hardly
dared raise her eyes to Lis face. But he
was very quiet, and did not slam things
and Lard.'y looked cp from his food all
tea time.
When Mrs. Delameter had cleared np
the dishes sheslipped cp behind her bos-
band as he sat in the bay window with.
Lis elbows on his knees, his face between
his hands, and his eyes upon the carpe
and dropped the bone of contention, the
pocket-book, into his lap, and fied.
Ilecaughther drees before she had
fled very far, and drew her back.
"Fannie," be said, with whimsical se
riousness, "do you believe there is mon
ey enough in this pocket-book to induce
sjme muscular man to kick me all I de
serve to be kicked V
"Oh, Tom!" sobbed Mrs. Dalameter,
"can too ever forzive me? Yoa dont
know bow I haled to be hateful I"
"Oh, come, now ! Do yoa pretend to
say you didn't enjoy it?"
"Of coarse I didn't!" was the indig
nant answer, and then Mr. Deiamater
threw back his head and laaghed.
Finally he sobered down. "Well," Le

paid, in a very business-like way, "now
we'll have this thing fixed up.. Have
yoa any idea hew much oar hoa.seb.old
expenses are?'"
" I have kept accoont of that, and of
my personal expenses," said Mr. Dela
meter, bringing him the book, "but 1
didn't know how much yoa earned, or
how much yoar expenses were."
Mr. Delameter glanced at the neat col
nmns, and turned over the leaves to look
at the footing cp for the whole year. He
seemed to be surprised at the total, and
made a rapid mental calculation. Then
he give vent to a long, low whistle.
" Fannie," he declared solemnly, "yoa
are a dear little economu-al w'site angel;
and I am well, yoa don't allow me to
use the sort of language that would fit
tingly describe what I sin."
And then Mr. Deiamater proposed that
whenever he was paid 'off, the hcue-
keepinz expenses should be deducted
from the amount received, and the iet
divided equally between himself aud
Mrs. Deiamater.
And they followed this plan, and con
tinue'! to follow it, and it worked like a
charm, and er they lived happy
ever after, of course. -V. llolAina in
Her Ml3take.
A you eg married woman in this city,
who is a doctor of medicine and is slow
ly building up a nice practice, often finds
it convenient to drop tbe title and be in
troduced to new acquaintances as Mrs.
R , instead of Dr. Theodora R .
So many otherwise sensible reop! have
a prejudice against female doctors that
she likes to establish herself in their re
spect and good graces Jjy her natural

eodora R , and once this latter
Labit got her into an awkward situation,
though more frequently it worked ad
vantageously. It is her custom to spersl Ler summer
vacation in a quiet Mainer town which is
most easily reached by b ott from Bos
ton.
This time she telegraphed ahead to
the Boston steamship line: "Keep me
a berth for to-morrow night," and signed
it
"Dr ."
She was pretty well knoa to the of
ficers and agents of the lino and had no
doubt that was enough to secure iL
Rj-achiug Boston by rail, she buried
down to the boat without going to the
agent's ollice.
Once on board she greeted the steward
as an old friend and went straight to her
cabin and begin to make Lei self com
fortable. i '
The boat had cot gotten well under
way, before there came a knock at her
door, and when she opened it, a big fat
man peered in and then started back
with an angry look on his face.
This is my cibin," Le sai l.
"Excu-w me, sir. It is mine."
"Here is my check and key with the
proper number oa it."
"Mine bears the same."
"There inaai be some blander, ma
dam."
"There must, but the blander is not
mine, sir.
"It mat; be, madam. It is not likely
that two gentlemen would be mistakenly
assigned to your state room."
Are there two gentlemen assigned
here ?"
Yes, madam. The upper1 berth has
been taken by myself, and the lower
birth by a Dr. R , of New York."
Then it dawned upon Dr. Theodora
R that she was not as -well known
to the agents as she though L They Lad
supposed Dr. R to be a man, and bad
assigned her to a state room with anoth
er man. This all flashed through her
mini in a twinkling. Then she said:
"Excns me, sir. This is evidently
my mistake," and gathering her things
up with a swoop she marched out into
the saloon and sat there all night, soon
er than make public the laughable pre
dicament in which she Lad placed her
self. .V. 1". Tribune.

How She Bought a Horse-
She was an independent sort of a girl,
recently in possession of quite a fortune,
and she concluded a horse was a necessi
ty in her new establishment, so she sent
for a dealer and had a talk with bin.
What she didn't know about horses
would fill s livery stable, bat she tried to

and told him to bring her something to
look at The dealer came and she went
out to pass judgmenL She walked all
around the animal critically, as profes
sionals do.
"Is he well traiJ?" she inquired,
with the air of a jotkey.
"Certainly, miss," replied the dealer.
"She is well gaited and fine in harness."
" Cm-am," said the girl. "Is she all
right in the boots?"
"Yes, miss," gasped the dealer, "but
you see I've only got shoes oc tier fore
feet."
He sitid that because, really, Le didn't
know what else to say.
The girl laaghed merrily.
I noticed that, but yoa couldn't very
well have them oa her five feet, could
yoa?" she gurgled.
"I mean, miss." stammered the dealer,
"that she is shod only on the fore feeL"
"I understand," she said, erious!y;
"bat that can curea without any dilTi
rulty, can't it ?"
" Very easily, indeed, miss," assented
the dealer, with a great sense of relief.
"She seems 1o be all right in the fore
shoulJers, but her hind shoulders don't
seem to be quite right, suggested the
girl.
"There's nothing the matter with Ler
Uere, asserted the dealer. " fche is per

"There's no danger of her withers be

fully. "I've seen horses like that, and
they always make me nervous."
''No danger in the world, mi s," the
dealer a-wure-1 her.
"How old is she?" inquired the eirL
By this time the dealer knew Lis man

"Being a lady, miss," he smiled, " I'd
rather not tell her age."
"How considerate of yea!" she said,

Cultivate Being Liked.
The best thing that can happen to a
ccrrous girl is to be liked. Placed out
side the combat frequently and unexpec
tedly, on account cf lack of physical
strength, it is a fortune to her more than
another to have warm friends whose
sympathy and interest are never failing.
Hence, it is the first duty of the guardian
of any such child to in.itiil into its mind
the spirit of self-denial that has for its
outcome grace of speech and movement,
silence and self-command, pure tones and
distinct utterance, together with tact and
good spirits. The constant eiTort neces
sary lo be cheerful and sympathetic in
spite of physical weakness lessens intro
spection and mental indolence, and rous
es activities of the mind that might oth
erwise remain dormariL To please and
be pleased, if early Usg'ut, reuiains a fix
ed habit in spite of vicissitude and
change. It is a social custom expressive
of a high order of se'.f control, a fashion
that is ntverout of date.
The Jews and the Moon.
Dr Goldziher refers to the occasional
laniolatry cf the Jews. "Queen or princese
of heaven," he writes, "is a very frequent
name for the moon. Even in the latest
times the Hebrews called the moon the
"Qieen of Heaven,' and paid her div ine
honors in tLis character at the time of the
captivity, natwai tee antiju.ty oi
this lunar worship among the Hebrews
is testified (as ha long been known; by
the part played by Mount Sinai ia the
story of the Hebrew religion. The
monatflia must in ancien: times nae
been cons crated to the moon."
Peculiar .ymbol of Ashtaroth and the
other lunar deities appears to have been
a heierora ure with a heifer's head
and horns resembling the crescent moon.
Cheapest L:ght In the Wrld.
It is said by those who have experi
mented with them that the light given
by the fireflies of Cuba is the "cheapest"
in the world, produced, that is to say.
with the least heat and the smallest ex
penditure of energy ; and that a tuccfsa
ful imitation of it would prove to be a
most profitable substitute for gas and
electricity. Tne insects are beet.es two
inches long and belong to the family of
'snapping bags," so called because when
one of them is laid on its !ack it smips
ibtelf into the air with a clinking sound.
The secret of ti e light this firefly gives
is as yet undiscovered. Apparently it is
connected in some way ith the mysteri
ous phenomenon of life, and chemists
and physicians have sought in vain to
explain its origin. On each side of the
animal's thorax is a laminous membran
ous spoL and these flash at intervals so
that the Cubans put a dozon of the in
sects in a case toge'her, and so obtsia a
continuous illumination bright enough
to read by. This light is accompanied
by no perceptible heat, snd is seemingly
produced with almost no expenditure of
energy. How great aa improvement it
represent upon all known artificial lights
can be imagined when it is stated that in
candlelight, lamplight or gaslight the
waste is more than V. per ceaL In other
words, if ther could be so obtained as
not to throw anything away, they wouid
give nearly one hundred times the illu
mination which they do afford. Even
the electric light is mcstly wasted.

Hemmed in By a Pra-rle Fire-
I Lad an experience in Nebraska ia
lSori that I can see yet whenever I shut
my eyes. I piloted a party of emigrants
across the plains and was returning alons
to Missouri. It was a trifle risky, but
my business was urgent, and I was so
we'd mounted that I Lad little fear cf In
dians. It was in the tatter part of Sep
tember, and as thers Lad been no rain
for two months the tall grass was like so
much tinder.
One night I camped on s small tributa
ry of the Middle Loop. It was a small,
spring-fed rivulet, destitute of timber and
almost hidden by the rank grass. I had
not slept loag when I was horrified to
find that the prairie to the south of ma
was on fire and a strong wind sweeping it
down upoa me. I mounted and started
for the Loop, some five miles north.bat
before half the di-tance was covered my
horse put his foot ia a hole, fell and
broke a leg.
Tue tire hemmed me in by a semi-circle
and wa3 coming on with terrible ra
pidity. The whole heavens seemed to
be asifeetof roaring Came. I thought
sure I was done for. 1 have heard tnat
men brought face to fa.-e with d"ath re
member every evil deed of their lives
but I simply stood there in the dry grass
and watched the sublime spectacle. I
felt that my doom was a'ed and delib
erately waited foi iL Suddenly a new
danger confronted me. A vatt herd of
Luflalo flying before the fire was bearing
down upon me. I was to be trampled to
death and ciemated afterward ! As the
vast mass came thundering on I instinct
ively started and ran. Several deer went
sccrrying ty me aad I fancied I could
feet the hot breath of the herd of ouifalo
oa the ba-'k of my neck. I was sudden
ly throw a into the air and landed
lengthwise across the lack of a big bull.
I fastened my fingers ia Lis shaggy
coat and managed to bestride him, and
thus mounted I was carried to the Loup
river, wtiere I was thrjwn err by the
branch of a tree. I managed to swing to
it, however, aud thus saved myself from
being trampled to dtath. The herd
plunged acrcss the shallow river, and I
took ref :re from the approaching Carries
in its mud Jy waters. Three days later I
wa3 picked up more dead than alive, by
an eiDijrint 'rain, i sren:, nrst ana last,
more than fifteen years on the plains and
had many clone calls, but that n.ilnight
ride on a buffalo's back, with the Loop
river in front and the fires of Gehenna
roaring in the rear, I think, as re
markable as any of the inventions of the
yellow-Lack literati.
A Cow's Jealousy.
Ia the Spectator, C. Hunter Brown cf
Nelson, New Zealand, tells Lbe following
odd story of a cow's jealousy of a dog :
A few years ago I tad- ar quiet raiifh
cow, Rose, which was certainly fond of
Thomas, the man who milked her regu
larly, and she also showed an aversion to
dogs even greater than is usual in her
species. One night, Lr what reason I
now forget, I Lad tied up a young coiiie
dog in the little cowshed where she was
accustomed to be miiked. The following
morning I had just begun to drees when
I heard the pnpry barkicg in the cow
shed. "Ob," thought I, "I forgot to tell
Thomas about the poppy, and now the
cow will get in first and gtre it." The
next n.icu"e I heard a rosx of unmistak
able fear and anguish a heman r.-ar. I
dashed down to toe spot, and at the same
moment arrived my son, pitchfork in
hand. Thers lay Thomas on Lis face, in
a dry gutter by the side of the road to the
cos Louse, and the ccw butting angniy
st him. Y e drove cd" the cow and poor
Thomas acuiiled across the r.ad, slipped
through a a ire fence, stood up and drew
his breath. "Why, Thon-as," said I,
hat's the matter with Rose!" "Well,
sir, said i nomas, . near l tae pip oara
aad untied bim, and I was j :st coming
out of the cowhouse, with the pup in my
arms when R:-se came rennd the corner.
As soon as she seed tbs pup in my arms
she rushed at me without more ado,
kax-ksd uie down and would have killed
me if you hadn't come up." Thomas had,
ndeed, Lad a narro w escape ; his trouses
ere ripped up frcra end to end and red
marks ail along his legs fhowed where
Rose's horns had grazid along them.
Well." said I, "voa'd Utter not milk her
this morning, since she's ia such a fury."
Oil, I'll milk her right enough, sir, by
and by ; just give her a little time to set
tle down like. It's only jalocy of that
ere pup, sir. She couldn't abide seeing
me a-fondlicg of iL" "Weil, as yoa like,"
said I, "only take car? anl mind what
yoa are abouL" "All right, sir ." In about
twentv minutes Thomas called me dowa
to see the milk. Tne cow had stood quiet
enough to be milked. Bat the ciiik was
deeply tinged with blood aul in half an
ur a copious red precij i aite ba lsett.ed

had docbtedthe j-aloni theory. After

The Corporal's Orders.
TweDty army wagons and their driv
ers fifty cavalry men from Troop E a
pull of ninety miles across the Indian
Territory. Yes. we shall be attacked by
the hostile. They would not let such
an opportunity pa.-s. They can muster
four to one, even if we counted on the
teamsters. Colonel Blank, at the new
post to which we were bound, had writ
ten to Captain White, who was to cora
tuane the train :
" My wife is to come oat witk yoa. See
that my previous instructions are earned
ouL She knows what they are."
And we had not marched an hour
when Captain White sent for ma and
raid:
"Corporal, you will set as a special
guard over the third wagon."
"Very well, sir."
In case the IaJUnn are too strong for
us they must not find her alive. That's
all !"
I rxle ba tk to the third wagon and
placed my horse at the nigh fore wheel
and lifted my cap to th lady, who had
been provided with a comfortabia seat
by heiself.
She as a little bit of a woman, not
over 25 years Id, and married to the
Colonel only two years before. Sbe
looked at me out of her big blue eyes and
smiled, but she could not steady her
Voice as she leaned forward aad inquir
ed: "Corporal, do you yoa think we shall
be attacked V
" Quite likely, ma'am, but we may
squeeze through."
"And if attacked, snd yoa can't beat
the Indians off, you "
"I have thecaptain's orders, ma'am."
We both understood. I had beeu spe
cially detailed to kill her if I saw taji
we were to be wipel out! The thought
of it ma le me dixzy as I rode along. Now
and then I glanced up at her to see her
face white and her eyes anxiously sear
ching the horizon. I had my ordersand
was there to obey thera, but could I do
it? If I was the last living man of that
train, could I raise ray carbine and be
come her murderer?
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the sec
ond day out we f aw a dozen mounted
Indians on a ridg; to the right and clos
ed np the'train. Tj the left were a suc
cession of ridgeu, and if there was any
fores of hcti!es about they were hiddea
behind them. The colonel's wife was
one of the first to discover the Indians at
the righL She was looking at me as I
glanced up.
"We shall be attacked?'' she quer.e-I.
" Within lea minutes, ma'am."
" Well, yoa yoa yoa"
"Yes'm, but I kope we shall beat them
off."
The redskins on the right now began
to ride to and fro and w hoop and yell
and seek to draw onr atieulioa and force
the train to halL Orders had been given
the day before to keep rnoviag in caje of
attack.
Ia closing up the wsgons had doubled
the line, moving two abreast. The hoise-
men fell into toeir places a once twen
ty on a side, live in front aa 1 five in the
rear. Some of the teamsters had car
bines, while all had revolvers. Half a
mile byond here we had seen the first
Indian the attack was made, an 1 it was
a bold one.
As we caaie opposite a valley running
back into the ridges, s huadred or m n
mounted Indians came charging down
on as. The valley waj about as wide as
the train was long, and therefore the
twenty cf us oa that side had a chacce
at the reds as they came oa in a mob,
shooting, shouting and seemiag'y deter
mined to ride ovtr us.
"C-.rp .ral !"'
It was the voice of the c none'.'s sit',
j'Ht as s were pr.-pAiiug t fire.
We poured tbe lire cf our carbines into
the charging ihms and checked its rush.
The In lUns then psssed to our front and
rear, so as to as-iail as on ail sides. There
were ful'y of them, and had the traia
halted bnt for a minute they would have
had us wipel out. A part of them had
been ordered to fire only at the mules at
tached to ths wagons. As they were
kept moving only three or four were
struck and none disabled.
"Corporal l"
There was fighting in front and rear
and both sides and tbe bullets werefly-
iogaboutina spiteful way. Five had
passed through the coyer of the wagon
beside me.
It was the colonel's wife calli eg to me.
I looked up into her white face aal she
gasped :
"Corporal, are you going to to "
"Not yet ; we are holding our own," I
replied as I tarne-1 to open fire again.
We were gradually geltir.g oat cf the
tup. Farther on the ground was open
and to our advantage. The In lian al
ways does his best fighting at the fctart.
Here aad there we ha I a nun woan led,
but there was no confusion no halting.
Whenever they githered as if to cha'g-J
we opned fi-e on th spot and scattered
them. Our tire wa rapi I an 1 well sis
taiced, aad at the eal of a qnrtr cfaa
hour we had th?n b?atea. W-j were

eves of the c jioael's wifj an J :is calia-1
to me :
"C rporal, obey yosrorl-sr a?"
She hid her hvt U over h ?r facs so
that she might not sw mi as I raisod my
gua. Tha next few seconds mast have
been very terrible.
"B-?g pardon, ma'am, but the reU are
drawing off and the vict ry L ours."
She dropped her hands an 1 stared at
me for a minute a if sea caul i not m
prebend. Then sbe (til bwk in a dead
faint and it was a long ha'f hour before
she opened herey-stjtriennsri:n again.
Aweekiatrat the new pt"t Colonel
Bland called tns ia aa 1 asxel :
"Corporal, weren't yoa ordered to

"Yes. sir."
"Then why didn't yoa do it V he stern
ly demanded.
"I I was going to, bat "
"But w h at, sir ? It was gross disobedi

As It Should Be.
The perfect kiss should be soucdif.
He should feel ber grow, heavy in his
arms, and her eyelids shoul I droop till
the lashes half cover her ryes, her brealla
comes in a sigh through her parted lips.
Thosshe is more beauLful to look upon
than ever before, and he, grown the
more tense, the more powerful and up
right as she yielis in his arms, drinks in
her beauty while Lis lips cover hers.
With the embrace hU strength goes.
When it is over she smiles above him
and holds his head close in her arms.
This is as a kiss should be. The man
is seldom to blame if a kiss does not go
off in this way. It is usually the girt.
She is not experienced, and, besides,
she is afraid ber p3pa will come ia.
If she is experienced well, that is not
as it shold be, either. Ctira BHU U Cin

the benefit of the public. "One of my
children took a severe cold and got th
croup. I gave her a teaspoonful of Cham

minutes later I gave her one more. By
this time she had to cough up the gather
ing in her throat. Then she went to sleep
and slept good for fifteen minutes. Then
she got up and vomited ; thea she went
back to bed and slept g-xxl for tne re
mainder oi the night eshe got the croup
