, Spokane, Wash. June 1. Indian
re rounding up their horsei oo. the
Spokane reaervation, norUnrest of
here preparatory to the coming of
the whlto lettlera who were tucceca
ful In Uncle Sam's lottery for home
steads, last August. - Among the
horses corralled during the last few
day are t many-with -several brands
unknown on the', reserve; also a lot
ot marerlcks which will be branded
end taken' by .the ,redmea unless the
owners appear, before the close of
the roundup-and. claim their stock.
It Is believed the animals strayed
from pastures in Ferry. Stevens' and
adjoining counties on the border. The
roundup Is a monthear Her tnan usual
and the horses are not In the best
of condition. However, the bidding
by dealers from Spokane and other
points Is brisk and this competition
will result in the Indians receiving
good prices fcr their cayuses. Cap
tain John McA. Webster, Indian agent
on the reserve, says the Indians have
plenty of money,' $850,000 being dls-"
bursed among them by the Indians'
department during the last five days.

shingles blew off the roof she wept
and wished it were all over.
1 At length Professor Doty arrived in
the village. Not ouly that, but be ar
rived next door. He was a professor
of natural history in a college, and he
came to the village for his vacation.
He was a man of sixty, tall and re
served and dignified. He gave every
ope a feeling of awe. Mr. Hunnewell,
on the contrary, bad been short and
fat and Jolly, and people used to poke
him In the ribs and Joke with him. It

.She leaned over the fence and Intro
duced herself, and be approached and
talked to her. Ht had found a tree
toad hidden In the bark of a locust
tree, and he was glad to talk to aofew
one about hi find. '
While the professor lectured the wid
ow fell deeper In love and kept
claiming: "Do telir and "Oh, my sonir'
She was. an Interested listener.. 8h
said she'd give' anything to learn all
about toads and bugs and grasshoppers
and dams, and the professor was a
bit flattered. If the woman next door
had been a nice, loving women she
would have Invited the widow over to
make further acquaintance, but she
was a different person. She said that
widows bad too much rope as It was
and that Mrs. Hunnewell was always
oat of tea and coffee when a neighbor
wanted to borrow. . And the professor
wasn't to be caught sight of so often
either. .
: However, when Providence gets It
machinery ouce started there are gen
erally results. One night when the
wlad 'didn't moan .and . the .shingle
didn't rattle, but when It waa moea-j
light and calm instead, the widow was
awakeued from her sleep by a bad
dream. She thought herself surround
ed by potato bugs and fighting for her
life. The dream made such an im
pression that she got out of bed and
looked out of the window. There was
the explanation before her eyes. The
professor had climbed the fence and
was In her yard and down on bands
and knees In the grass. He had on so
few clothes that It was easy to guess
be had risen from bis bed to look for
crickets. Not a word did the widow
say.. She Just got Into bed and. did
some thinking. - That thinking resulted
in her sending for the village constable
next day and saying to him: " ' " j
"Mr. Richards. If a widow living all
alone should have reason to believe
that her house was about to be broken
Into, what should she do?"
nTou mean if she saw a man dodg
ing around in the yard 7" .
"Yes." .
"Well, she might scream."
""Yes."
"Or she might throw something out
of the window at him."
"Yes."
"Or she might take her life and her
broomstick In hand and rush out and
) crack his skull."
i see," . .
"But It I was that woman I'd bor
row a snotgun. load itwith salt and
fire on him from a window." - .
"And what would the salt do?" ,
''"Keep him In bed for about a week.
If there Is anybody spooking, around
your bouse o nights I've got the gun
and the salt, and you can protect your
self. t The law will be on your side.
Aim at bis legs and let 'er go," '
The widow took a couple of hours to
think It over and then sent for the
gun. She was taught how to fire it,
and when the sun went down that
evening she felt that events were go
ing to happen before morning. What
Professor Doty was looking for the
night before was crickets. Their songs
had floated Into his open window at
midnight and awoke him. He had
climbed the fence into the next yard
without a thought of trespass. He
bad got down on hands and knees and
pawed around, but t be cricket had
evaded blm. He would try again.
it there bad been any bells In the'
town they would have been striking
11 o'clock when the waiting, watching
widow beard some one softly drop
from the fence, then come Into sight
crawling over the grass. She saw blm
grab with this hdnd and the other and
heard htm chuckle. Then she pointed
the gun out of the window and sbut
her eyes and fired. There was a
whoop and a yell, and she rattled
downstairs to find the professor lying
on the grass. He bad been salted.
Nevermore would be be fresb again.
Nevermore vvou'd be want any salt on
his potatoes.
Of course the plan was to rush him
into the house, rail a doctor aud keep
him around for a week as an Invalid.
There would be romance In the salt
and gratitude for the soups prepared
for him. and those things might lead
on and on. They didn't, however. The
professor ensaed: he swore; bp wrlg
cled: be RH!d llint.uny .woman who
would shoo) h barrel of alt Into an
Innocent mnu otipbt to dp bnnttpd. and
hn bfe made 111 way to the fence he
called back:
"And my.wlfp In coming here In the
morning to way for two weeks. Wo
msn, keep your old crickets and be
hanged to y-a'.".
