a luxury and kidneys, for obvious rea

himself day after day at the village

favorite breakfast dish. The butcher,
looking upon his customer as a lunatic,

Fnr Illvorce In Old Time.
The code of King Khaminurabi of
Assyria, whose date Is approximately
2200 B. C, which has been deciphered
from n pillar discovered at Susa, deals
exhaustively with the subject of di
vorce. One of tlie most Interesting
clauses Is tlie following: "If the wife
of a mnn who dwells in the house of
that man has set her face to go forth
and has acted the fool and wasted his
house anil Impoverished bis house,
they shall call her to account. If tho
husband shall say, 'I put her nway,' he
shall put her nway. She shall go her
way; for her divorce he shall give her
nothing."

Gi).JiiuM, 1M. h T. :. McClure
The Overland Limited was sp-cdlng
east across New .Mexico toward the
Texas boundary line. Tlie line alkali
dust i f the high flams sif!i-d through
every cn vice In the ear, smarting and
Irritating ihe throats and nos, s of pas
scngi rs. Miss Mary Appl. tou was one
of the few who had not grumbled at tlie
dust, heat, lack of mirages or si iwm ss
of tin? service. I'lcsiiinaiily lur time
was to fully occupied. The Mayne
children, hi r three nephews, demanded
her complete attt iitioil.
When Maj r Mayne of the United
States araiy was old tied to the Phil
ippines, hi; wife elected to go with
him. The children were easily dis
posed of by their little butterfly of a
mother. "We'll send thrui east. I'll
telegraph Mary to coiiio out and take
theui l ack. It will be u nice trip for
her, poor thing:"
So the "pour thing," who was Mrs.
Mayne's elder half sister, the Cinder
ella of the hoiiseh hi, age revirscd, left
hi r Invalid stepmother behind and jour
neyed to San Francisco for her
charges.
"We'll try mid make it pleasant for
you while you nre with us," Mrs.
Mayne had cooed t- her uptui her ar
rival, but the lm sponsible little lady
had left all packing and house clearing
iirrangemeuts until the last minute,
and it toik all of Mary's time and
sound sense to evolve order out of con
fusion. Finally nil the boxes were
corded, the maj ami ills wife off to
tlie transport, and .Miss Appleton, with
hi r three rebellious charges, seated in
the train lor their long ride to the At
lantic coast.
One section hud been provided for
her mid the three boys, Bobble, Tom
and drover, lads of twelve, nine and
six. They were hearty, healthy young
animals, who regarded the commands
of their gentle, mild tempered aunt in
tlie light of a perpetual Joke. The Pull
man was crowded, and their fellow
traveler lo iked with manifest disfavor
upon ihe noisy, ill behaved boys.
Their section was nearest the draw
ing room, and Miss Appleton occasion
ally caught glimpses of ihe tall, stern
looking ii'.au witli iron gray hair. lie
seemed to be always busy, either read
ing or writing, and her tender con
science prompted the hope that bo
might lie too much absorbed In hia
work to lie disturbed by the proximity
of her nephews. She had noticed his
critical, disapproving glances nt her
Hock in ti e dining car, and once she
detected n smile on his face when she
had made Ineffectual efforts to curb
them.
It was the fourth day of the journey
and a particularly hard one. Bob und
Tom had joined forces nnd tensed dro
ver, who was quick tempered, Into
such a fury of passion that he had
sobbed himself asleep on his aunt's
knee. She sat In a crumped, uncom
fortable position, holding the little tear
stained face against her shoulder.
The man In the drawing room looked
nt her for a moment, then stepped out
and said quietly: "Let me take your
little boy. lie can rest very comforta
bly on my sofa." Suiting the action to
tho words, bo curried the sleeping child
to the couch nnd set the door ajar.
Miss Appleton's lips trembled, nnd It
was with tlitliculty that she kept buck
the tenrs. It was almost the lirst kind
ly words spi ken In those hnrd nnd dis
agreeable days. There hud been nd
nionltions In regnrd to the boys being
left behind at stations nnd tanks or
breaking Ibelr necks from windows
nnd platforms. There hud been tunny'
complaints in respect to their noise
and requests that they be kept strictly
to their own seals, but this was the
tlrst kindly Interest manifested. The
weary, nervous woman looked out
steadily over Hie uninviting landscape
so that the tears that hung heavy on
her lushes might remain undetected.
The occupant of the drawing room
missed nothing of what was going on.
His heart gave nn unaccustomed throb
ns he remembered the mute gratitude
expressed by her dark eyes when he
carried off the sleeping boy. It was a
strange and by no means unpleasant
Rensntion.
Boh nnd Tom sat In a virtuous nrtned
truce. Bob's black eyes snapped ns he
related to Tom In subdued tones the
"Adventures of Snake Kyed Sol, tho
Terror of the Western Plains." "If we
could only g t o!T tins blamed train, wo
,vould be sure to find lots of Indians
ind geld nnd wild horses. We'd have
a great time. But there's no use In
trying. Aunt Mary has the porter on
to us." The boy looked decidedly wick
ed as he thought of his lost opportuni
ties. The man within caught the look
mid a vision of the aunt's, sweet face
nt the same lime. "If I bad the man
agement of you, my lad. I would bring
yon up with n round turn," he thought.
Miss Appleton smothered a sigh nnd
leaned back on the luxurious cushions.
Her few days of more intimate ac
quaintance with Mastir Bob had made
her fully aware of the consequences
likely t follow from an interruption
of tlie narrative. The comparative
peace ii ml repose wire provocative of
sleep. She was awakened from n doze,
by a brisk oliicial voice demanding,
"Your papers, please?"
"Do yen mean our tickets?"
"No. madam. I have nothing to do
with tlie ticktts. I want your quaran
tine passports. We are near the Tcxnn
boundary line."
"But-but we have no papers except
.lig our tickets. We have no passports."
'Very sorry, madam; very sorry, but
you'll have lo get olT before you cue
to the Texas boundary."
"flet off-why?" sue gasped.
"Orders, madam. The state of Tcxai
orders that no passengers from Sna
Francisco cross tlie boundary line
without a quarantine passport. You're,
right from there, and you've surely
beard of the report that bubonic
plagu Is In Chinatown."
"I heard nothing of It," she rejoined.
"Well, that may be. However, I am
here lo see that the Texas quarantine
1 iws are obeyed." The conductor runic-
i p en I John d in tlie conversation. "It's
a u.v -nt pity that you didn't look after
this when you bought your tickets.

"Jfy little boy was very sick and

of 'Force' and fed him on It, and am pleased
to eay he is thriving. I will now put him bo-

It's a wonder that they didn't speak to
you u buut it."
Mrs. Mayne had bought the tickets,
and Mary remembered with a sinking
henrt that her sister had carelessly
tossed aside a package of papers when
she took the tickets from the envelope.
The conductor went on. "This bu
honlc plague scare is a confounded nui
sance to the traveling public. There is,
one way out of it; you can make oath;
that yon have not been in Chinatown i
ar the precincts within fifteen days."
"We can easily do that."
It is the unexpected that happens,
and Boll's opportunity bad come. "I
was In Chinatown last week with
Mike," he said loadly.
Miss Appleton looked nt him In
iiunsii meiit. Mike was tlie major's old i
and trusted servant, the hist person to
lake the boy into a place of danger.
The story was Incredible.
Bob looked unblus'.iingly at his aunt.'
To Bob nt that moment there were
things better than truth. The officer
looked down sternly nt the little shrink
ing woman. "You'll have to bo ready
to get off at the next siding. You'll find
! box cur there. Tho loenl freight will
pick you up later and take you to Dent
ing. There you will find out what it la
best to do."
The sympathetic excitement of their
fellow passengers was subdued by the
thought of relief from the troublesome i
boys nnd by nervous fear of Journeying
with a plague suspect. The friendly
gentleman lent a hand In strapping va
lises and in gathering- up the various
impedimenta of nn overland journey.
There wns evidently on his part no iu-!
tent Ion of questioning the wisdom ot
the laws of Texas.
Mks Appleton's patience received Its.'
frowning stroke when she mounted her;
trunk ns a step and wns dragged by a
not overcican employee Into the box
cur. She had hardly until then realized
the significance of their movements.
She had but a confused Idea of the
goodbys of their fellow passengers gen
erally, but tlie sympathetic tones of the
friendly man persisted in her mind.
Bob scrambled up beside her and an
nounced his freedom in a hilarious
whoop. It was adding insult to injury,
nnd, ns much to her own anuuemeiit
ns to Bob's, she seized the offender by
the shoulders and shook him soundly.
The crestfallen appearance of their
ringleader as he sulked on a box In the
corner of the ear, n new, stern aunt
who certainly held the whip hand, ami
strong desires for stiuetliing to ent
were conditions not conducive to free
and easy romance In the desert. It
was a cry weary and subdued trio of
boys that the local freight brought Into
Doming.
Miss Appleton's apprehensions that
the whole party would be subject to
an unpleasant quarantine were speed
ily removed. Before she bad recovered
from tlie surprise nt tlie courtesy
shown them by the railway ofliclals,
their fellow traveler of the Overland
stepped from the caboose of the
freight.
"I telegraphed to see that you were
properly linked after, nnd I have come
to see that it is done," lie said with a
smile. "I know this place very well,
as I happen to be in the railroad busi
ness myself. You will be very com
fortable here for a few days, until you
get your passports."
Much to Miss Appleton's relief he
assumed, with a matter of fact air, the
entire m.-iiiiigeiiieiit of their affairs. lie
lid the ti leeraphiiig. (lie planning nnd
the thousand nnd one duties demand
ed by their quarantine hold up. Once
she ventured nn apologetic remon
strance about taking up bis lime, but he
had answered gnyly that he wns "off
in a holiday," ami that he was enjoy
ing it Immensely (which was strictly
true i.
Bob was the only unhappy member
of the party. Pride forbade an ac
knowledgment of bis falsehood, and he
iniinly accepted bis punishment. He
lasted tlie way of the transgressor in a
lonely quarantine, and also realized the
power of the government of Texas to
punish not only visitors to Chinatown,
but also those who Inadvertently stray
in the paths of Ananias.
A number of cablegrams were await
ing the Maynes on their arrival ut
Manila. Mrs. Mayne nearly faliikd
with astonishment at the contents of
one which her husband read aloud:
"Mary married yesterday to Kobert
Bend, general manager (Ireat Western

TWO INDIAN BATTLES.

nklti'H 1'oint of lew.
The Indian's side of any controversy
between him and the white man has
never really been presented nt nil. His
tory has necessarily been written from
the while man's stan lpoint and large
ly from the reports of commanding
officers naturally anxious to secure full
credit for their gallantry or to conceal
any weakness.
Take as nn illustration the so called
"battle" of Wounded Knee. A ring was
formed about the Indians, nnd after
disarming innst of tlieni one man re
sisted, and the troops bvgan tiring to
ward ti e center, killing nearly all the
Indians and necessarily ninny of their
own men. The soldiers then followed
up fleeing women nnd children nnd
shot them down iu cold blood. This is
not called n massacre in the official re
ports. The press of the country did not
call It n massacre. On the other band,
General Cnster wns In pursuit of cer
tain bnnds of Sioux. He followed their
trail two days and finally overtook
and surprised them upon the Little
Big Horn. The warriors met him in
force, nnd lie was beaten at his own
game. It was a brilliant victory for
tlie Indians, whom Custer had taken
at a disadvantage In the midst of their
women nnd children. This buttle goes
