Serine rears ago I visited the far
west, passing through a region that
bad been Infested by the , worst ele
ment of society. .
I put up one night at the boose of
John Murphy, a ebeep raiser. Ells
ranch bouse was not large, but com
fortable, and Its decorations showed
evidence of refinement His wife was
a woman Mcho impressed me as one
baring considerable equipoise and
character. After supper I went out
on the porch to have a smoke with
Murphy and listened with Interest to
his account of the building up of his
region. During our conversation I
stated the opinion that men were
what women made them. Then he
told me bis story.
"You're dead right, stranger," he
aid. "and I'm one of the men that
has been made by a woman. When I
came to, this country It was from an
eastern city; and my education was
derived .from the dime novel. I was
a waif, with no father or mother to
Instill Into me the fact that however
brave the road, agents and others of
whom I read they were acting on a
wrong principle. As it was. I ad
mired them, and almost before I be
came a man I scraped up enough mon

I had ths rtiOst debilitating cough a mortal was erer afflicted with, and my friends expected that
when I left my bed it would surely be for my grave. Our doctor pronounced my case incurable,
but thanks be to God, four bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery cured me so completely that I am
all sound and well. MRS. EVA UNCAPHER, Grovertown, Ind.

cumulate any money, and If I had a
should later on nave got rid of It -"One
evening I stopped at a bouse'
and knocked at tne aoor. i luieuueu
to ask for some supper, expecting once
Inside to get my bearings for valua
bles and take them away with me. I
had started in with the Intention of
confining my ' operations to stage
coaches, army paymasters and the
like, but a man Is always going either
uphill or downhill, and as 1 was
necessarily going down I wasn't above
taking anything I could get my bands
on, even from a woman.
MA woman came to the door. She
was young and fairly good looking. To
my request for some supper she gave
a smiling assent asking me to come
In and make myself comfortable. She
went Into the kitchen, and 1-looked
about me. " There was a chimney in
the room where I was with no Ore. I
knew a chimney was a favorite place
to hide money, and. going to tbe fire
place. I stooped and looked up. On a
projecting brick I saw a small box,
which 1 appropriated and, lifting the
cover, saw a lot. of bills and loose
change. 1 slipped it all in my pocket
and put tbe box back In the chimney.
"By and by the young woman came
in and set a good supper on the table.
I ate my fill and when I bad finished
took out one of the coins 1 bad taken
from tbe box and handed it to her.
;'No.' she said. , there's nothing to
pay. You're quite welcome to your
supper., 1 hope it bas done you good.
You looked tired and hungry when you
came in, and 1 felt sorry for you. So
1 have given you tbe . best in tbe
house ! .; . ., . ' ' . .
"That was the first lesson in kindli
ness 1 ever received. At any rate, it
was the first that ever took hold of
me. When t thought of tbe contents
of tbe box in my pocket and my offer
ing one of her own coins in payment
for her kindness, not tbe least part of
which was the way she offered it my
despicable meanness seemed to shrivel
me all up. 1 couldn't look her to tbe
to :''."
'"You don't need to go on, she said.
'We have a spare bed upstairs.' .
"I was thinking how I would get the
money back in tne box in the chim
ney, and it occurred to me that if 1
tayed there all night I could slip
down in the. night and do tbe Job. So
t said: Thank you, miss. If you
don't mind I reckon i will. It'll be a
great actomniodaiioa to me.'
"No more than to me. iJUy brother
and his wife have gone away for a
few days and left me alone with tbe
children. , Tbef say , that Murphy's
gang, la operating ,to the neighbor
hood, and I wouldn't mind having a
man In I tbe house.! ; -Vlfl
that case,1. said. 'I think V
sleep on that , lounge, and 111 guaran
tee that no man sets upstairs unless
he' goes over my dead body.'l ; 'I f '
f MI know hen flf m mon nnM hit
along there that night and I reckoned
they'd take In anything by tbe way.
The '.flrs,t thing I did ; before turning
In was to put the money back in the
box. When I'd done that I felt the
first of a kind of comfort I'd never
experienced1 before.V. I didn't go to
sleep, wanting to be awake If any one
called. . In the middle of tbe night my
two men. Fete Barnlckel and Colora
do Bill, did call. I showered bullets
everywhere about them except Just
where they were, and they concluded
there must be a whole vigilance com
mittee Inside. - When they bad gone 1
heard a . soft voice call down the
stairs: " ,
" Thank you
'Just you go to sleep. I'm in com
mand here.' ;
"And I've been In command here
ever since, I married the" girl. ,t
didn't confess till shortly before the
wedding and have been living here
ever since. My wife owned the prop
erty, and after I came in her brother's
family went off to a ranch they
ought farther west" V . ;
