"Cheyenne is not the town it was
when for awhile it mi a railroad
terminus,1 naid a citizen of that place
rial ting in Brooklyn preparatory to
what ho call a salt water trip, relates
the Kagle of that city.
"All the stories alout its exciting
days were fur from true," he contai
ned. "I will tell you one, however,
which I never bsw in print, not be
cause it is not worth printing, but be
cause, I suppose, some who know of
it think it too tame for a Cheyenne
story, if you ever go to Cheyenne,
ask anybody you huppen to meet to
show you the way to the cemetery
there is but one that has any history.
Audi when you get out there wander
i round until you come to the pret
tiest monument In the place. Maybe
a hnlf dozen men in the town know
the story of it, but certainly no more,
and they may not recall it.
"In the exciting days of the town
there lived in n squalid part of It a
man and his Stepdaughter. The lat
ter was not more than 12 years old at
the time, iler mother hud died in an
emigrant train on its way west and
was buried near the road.
"When her Inn. band and daughter
reached Cheyenne, the man sickened
and nearly died. Hut for the tender
nursing by the stepdaughter lie would
not have recovered. He was a beggar
when he got well, but then that was
nothing ill those days, and Ills con
dition caused no special comment.
Soon after. Ids luck turned. He had
enough to dress the girl to her heart's
content, and he looked prosperous.
But no one ever saw him work. 1
(ion't know what explanation he
made, or whether any, for his pros
perity. "One day he mounted the girl on a
horse and sent her awny on n. mlSsion(
which required her t be absent two
days. When she returned he was
gone. They do thinrrs quicker in thai
country than you do here, or at least
they did in the time of which I am
speaking. No one who knew would
tell the girl the fate of her stepfa
ther. She was given a home and I
have heard that she had no cotnplnlnl
to make of the life she found in it.
While she was prowlng iuto woman
hood she died and was buried in the
cemetery of which I spoke
"While abe was on the mission for
her stepfather, he was engaged in
making counterfeit money, lie had
been at it for some time, but the child
never knew It, and ho never did any
work In that way when shu was about
the house.. He wan arrested before
her return and lie Imaged the officers
to lake him away quickly and to keep
the secret of his crime from the child.
I happen to know that they kept their
pledge,
"Ho pleaded guilty at once and was
sent to state's prison for ton years.
He was credited with the usual time
for good behavior and came out, as
they usually do. tiroken and aged.
"One day a banker in Cheyenne re
ceived a cheell and letter. The letter
lx.ro the Kansas City postmark. It
directed the banker to use the check
for the erection of a monument over
a grave which wn described. The
monument was shipped from Kansas
City and the freight was prepaid. On
its receipt in Cheyenne, the banker
was notified and tha work of placing
it was carried on under his super
vision. I do not think the banker ever
knew the story of the man who paid
for the monument and sent him the
check. He died several years npo.
There was a balance left after t'e
I lacing of the monument anil 1he
banker invested it., and while he lived
the Interest on it paid the sexton of
the cemetery for keeping the grave
and ground about it in good condi
tion. In his will the banker directed
that the work should be continued
on the interest, until such time as the
person entitled to the principal should
appear and claim it. But he never
will, unless the sea gives up its dead
and gives them another life."

In 1310 we find the following Bow
bakeresses accused of selling halfpenny
loaves deficient in weight: Sana Fot
Ing, Christina Terrice. Oodiyeva Tot
ing, Matilda de llolingtonc, Christina
Prltchet, Isabella .Sperling, Alice
Pegges, Johanna de Cauntebrigge, and
Isabella Pouvcste One wonders win
the husbands were not summoned. In
a similar case, in 1316, when Agnes Tot
Ing's bread was seized, It was "ad
judged that her bread should be for
feltedi and given to the prisoners in
Neugate, because her husband did not
come to avow (own) the bread." Are
we to assume that in the nhsence of
the husbands the bread was merely for
feited without the infliction of a fine?
An indication of the importance of
I he .breadmaking business is also
found in an enactment of the reign of
Henry 111., to the effect that "every
care of Bremble (BromleyJby-Bow) or
Stevenhcthe (Stepney) that comes into
the city with bread shall pay each day
one halfpenny." Gentleman's Maga

"Well, my daughter," said the man
with the round face, "has married a
